7 Months Progress Photos

[Browneyedsouljah 5]

Wow!! Your journey is inspiring. I have to be honest, my partner isnt thrilled with me doing this, but I know what I need. Reading stories and post gives me hope and is the support I need to continue. Hearing women like you who shared my pain but have made it to the otherside and are happy helps me pick myself up and continue on. Thank you so much for sharing!!

So, I've been sleeved for 7 months now. I have been in a stall for a few weeks, but I'm in the process of changing things up a bit and I am hopeful my scale will be a little bit nicer to me in the weeks to come.

However, there is SO much more to getting smaller than just looking at what my scale says!! I went back and made a bunch of face screen shots of how much my face has shrunk in the last 7 months, and even going back to when I used to weight well over 300 Lbs. I'd say at the end of the day, I'm a VERY happy and VERY successful person!!

And here's to my last 40 or so pounds. They say the last of it comes off slowly, well I think I'm set in my ways now and that to me is no big deal. I can already find all kinds of cute clothes anywhere. Not only that, I'm healthier today than I ever have been. My panels are excellent, no signs of any type of blood sugar issues, cholesterol is outstanding and my High Blood Pressure is GONNNNEEEEE!!!!

I've come so far, simply because I used to wear a size 28W / and 3X tops. Today I'm fitting nicely in 14's and Medium tops. I even have some 14's that are getting a little loose and I'm constantly having to pull them up. Not only that, a few weeks ago I actually was able to put on a pair of TENS!!!!!!! I was sooo stoked, I think I may have even shed a little tear... heee!!!

My Ring Size has gone from an 8 1/2 down to a 5 1/2 now. My fingers are so skinny, that I do recognize - and always COOOOOLD!!! LOL Anyway, I'm just so happy to be able to share this with all of you. I'm on top of the world, I feel super amazing and most of all CONTENT.

Until next time...

         

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you. You look awesome my sleeve sister.

Dear insperational LilMsDiva;

You are a success. Why when not at goal? Each day I see you post, you are willing to make adjustments to reach goal. You are working out consistantly. You eat differently. You do everything right and most of all ... you never give up. You may be discouraged on a day, but you do not give up and move forward.

A natual leader never accepts defeat. You are amazing! Thank you for always be open and honest with us here on VST forum, letting us share in both struggles and victories. A salute to you!

Wow- you look great! I hope I am as happy and as successful as you! How is the skin issue?

Hi Cmsumom, I have been very lucky as far as my skin is concerned. I have a very tiny bit, but considering how large I was I would think I'd have a whole lot more than that. In reality I'd say it's barely noticeable.

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

God your skin looks fantastic, no wrinkles at all -- are you still in your 20s?? Amazing result, you look fab.

Ahhhh thanks!!! Nope, I'm 37 years old. But you sure made my day, hugs!!!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

Congrats and I must say you are beautiful and look AMAZING! Keep working it and those last 40 will come off! I have come to a major stall the last 2 weeks and have upped my excercize lots - still stalling but know it will come off. I am 29 pounds away from goal. We just need to stay focused!

Congrats again, I am so proud of you - I have been following you since you were pre-sleeve and have enjoyed your journey with you!

That's right! No matter what be true to YOU and to your program, it will happen. Stalls stink but trust in it and eventually it will break. THANKS FOR THE DANCING BANANA!!! I love those...
