If you have an iPhone, if you go to the pic you want on your phone, the top right Corner has an edit button. Click that and at the bottom a little arrow will pop up. Just click that til it looks the way you want it and save.

If its not an iPhone, I dunno. Hehe

Anyway!! You have a nice shape. :). And good job!!

Im 5'4 & my body has always been pear shaped. So most of my weight was in my hips, butt and thighs. My starting right was 244.7 lbs. I dont have loose skin but lots of real that need toning.

One of the things I had to learn early on was do not compare. It's very hard not to compare and I did that for along time. I hd to turn my focus on my journey and what I ws accomplishing in my life and realize I ws not in this for the short haul but earnestly desired to be healthy and learn healthy eating habits. I focused on learning about carbs and Protein and what ws important to be healthy for life. Concentrate on a forever life change. Usually a sick fix never last but learning and doing is always life time change. Good luck on your journey.

Thank you! I know I need to stop thinkign of what I might look like, or how much I will lose. Everyone is different. I think I am just sidetracking my fear of failure. Working through alot of emotions right now. Trying to get it figured out before I go under.

My first thought was "HOLY COW" but that's such a unflattering expression for weight loss. You look amazing and I can only imagine how proud and happy you are to be healthier and active now.. Not to mention lookin' good ;)

It is very emotional at times and can feel like an emotional roller coaster. Everything is new and hitting you at once and so many changes taking place at once . You can do this! Day by day. If u mess up the great things you get up and keep on trying. You will do great. Don't allow fear to dictate what your results are. Rise up with a new positive attitude that says, I will succeed!

      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.
