6 Month Surgiversary 9/28/2012 Pics

[SexySlim 107]

I can't believe it's been 6 months! I took my 6 month pics yesterday the 28th. My weight loss has been "stalled" for the past two months. I lost 3 lbs last month and maybe 1 this month. So I think my honeymoon phase was 4 months. I posted 13 week pics and they don't look that much different than these. I can tell I'm shrinking though. And I've still been working out and started doing TapOut XTreme workouts along with my Elliptical. Here's a summary of my stats and goals:

Height: 5'11" still an Amazon

Weight: 288 to 231.4 lbs

Size: tight 20W to 18 regular (16 in dresses)

Tops: size XL to L

Goal: 190 size 14 (in pants and dresses) not sure what weight that requires, I don't remember ever being under 200 lbs.

I don't really follow a "diet" but I do drink a shake every morning. Either a scoop of Muscle Milk in skim milk or a RTD Muscle Milk Light. I only eat three times a day. I eat whatever for lunch and dinner just small portions. I still have a major sweet tooth so battling that is very hard. I'm going on vacation next week and plan on getting back to basics when I get back, eating only fish, chicken, fruits, and veggies (no sweets!). I can't say I will follow a diet because I have made this a lifestyle.

This surgery has been wonderful for me. The best decision I have ever made for myself. I am in love with shopping again. I bought bags of clothes last weekend and it felt great to just be able to pull something off the rack without worrying if it will fit or not. I bought a goal dress size 14. It's skin tight right now, but the fact that I could pull it down over these hips felt great.

Keep up the good work, girl! Wearing the same workout outfit really shows the weight loss. Great idea!

Yeah same thing with me. Lost 50, I'm 6

Months out and haven't lost anything in almost 2 months. If anything I'm regaining and losing the same 7lbs for about a month now. I'm also hypothyroid and they had to redo my meds from the weightloss so that could be part of it. You can def see a diff in your pics!

Your stats are similar to me. You look great. How much you lost the first month?

[SexySlim 107]

Thanks. I don't really remember how much I lost in the first month. I lost 10 lbs 2 weeks before my surgery.

Congrats! My honeymoon was over by the 4th month as well. I continued to lose but it was much much harder from 4-12 months. Now that I'm almost 2 years post-op my weight hasn't changed much in the last 8 months or so. Sigh. OH well. I'm still thrilled w/my results.

Keep up the hard work!

You're looking great! I also appreciate both that you're wearing the same clothes in both photos and also that the before/after are side by side in the same pose. It makes it so easy to see your great results. Congrats!
