brandymarie81 108 Posted March 20, 2012 Congrats! I know exactly how you feel. I started my journey at 440 pounds and now 5.5 months post surgery I'm down 107 pounds. It is a great feeling and I wish you continued success. 200's here we come! WOW! That is what I want to do! I just don't think I will be that successful! You have any secrets? 1 Shell.C reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kygal1982 4 Posted March 21, 2012 WOW! That is what I want to do! I just don't think I will be that successful! You have any secrets? First you need to think that you will be successful! We have a tendency for beating ourselves up and not thinking we will succeed because of our MANY failed attempts in the past (at least that is how it was for me). But I really got motivated reading other people's post on this site. Also, My doctor wanted me to wait 2 months before starting a more strenuous workout plan, only walking till that point. Once those 2 months were up I really became a gym rat. I love it, even got a trainer and everything. I workout 4-5 times a week usually. We are here if you ever need to voice your concerns or need inspiration. It really is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but I'm looking forward to what the future holds. Sometimes I get discouraged thinking that even now I am the size most people are before they have surgery, not after loosing 100+ pounds. But we will get there, just may take us a little longer than others! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
