One year ago today took the first step to change my life. I got the lapband and started my journey to loose weight and change my life. The last year has been a challenge to say the least but today I stand here 115 pounds lighter and amazed with all I accomplished this year. I started my journey at 314lbs. Today I weigh 199lbs' date=' and still aiming for goal:)[/quote']

Congratulations! You look fabulous!!!

wow wow wow!!!

You look incredible!

BTW' date=' I noticed you don't have loose skin on your arms, did you do anything in specific? toning or anything?[/quote']

Thank you! Since the very beginning I have been going to the gym 5-6 days a week doing a combination of strength training and cardio. I do have loose skin but it really isn't that bad. As far as weights go I work with a personal trainer and learned a whole bunch of whole body exercises that I enjoy. I change it up all the time!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing & congrats! To see that scale under 2...anything is amazing! Please share any tips or encouragement for us that are just beginning our journey :)

Hi Nicole- this journey has probably been the hardest things I've ever done and stuck with. I'm 25 and there's always temptations! I do struggle daily still but I lean on my friends for support. The feeling of success is worth it! I started going to the gym very early in my journey and built a strong support system there. I truly believe that working out has helped me so much. You can do it! If you need anything or just need to talk , message me

I started going to the gym very early in my journey. I workout about5-6 days a week for about 1- 1 1/2 hours and it has truly made a difference in my weight loss. I have been doing a combination of strength training and cardio. It's crazy the things I couldn't do in the beginning but can do now!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
