One-derland Update Post - 178lbs Lost So Far (10 Months Out)

[aaa 3]

Hi guys,

Hope you're all doing well. I just thought I'd post some recent photos of myself now I've reached the wonderful one-derland!

I'm currently 198lbs, down from a heaviest of 376lbs. I lost 66lbs with a gastric balloon before getting my sleeve in February 2011 at a weight of 310lbs. I'm so happy with my loss on the sleeve of 112lbs in ten months. :smile1:

I'm down from a US size 32 to a US size 12 (UK size 16). I honestly haven't been this size since I was like 14 years old!

At ten months out, things do sometimes seem to be getting harder. The weight loss is still coming but has slowed and I've contended with being able to eat more and the odd stall, not to mention people telling me I've 'lost enough weight now'. No way. I'm not stopping til I get to my goal of 160lbs and a healthy weight. I'm not going to settle for being kept in the 'fat friend zone' any more!

Have a nice weekend,

Lex
