Size 24 To Size 10!

[jenniesue 81]

I'm still in shock! I bought 3 different pairs of pants yesterday in a size 10. All different brands, so it wasn't just a fluke. The first picture is a month before surgery and 2 weeks before my pre-op diet. The second picture is me in my new size 10 jeans.

I'm down 102 lbs in 10 1/2 months!

Thanks.

My advice is that everyone's weight-loss journey is different. What works for some will not work for all. I personally do not count calories or carbs. I still have trouble eating bread, rice, and Pasta... so I don't touch the stuff.

I focus on making this a lifestyle change. All the times I've lost weight before, I've done non-fat everything. Or zero-carb everything. Or, fill-in-the-blank gimmick to achieve my results. This time is different. Besides the food my sleeve does not handle, nothing is off-limits for me... just in moderation. Because I have an awesome sleeve, my restriction is still very good. My success is mostly due to the fact I cannot get much food in. And, I stopped supplementing with Protein shakes.

I do struggle daily getting my Water in. Though, I have 1-2 small coffees or lattes each day. My weakness is Eggnog Latte from Starbucks. But, I always get the "short" size without whipped topping.

Unfortunately, I have let exercise fall by the wayside. I was pretty diligent preparing for my first 5k in June of this year. But, I haven't been back to the gym since I finished the 5k. I have signed up for another 5k for this coming June to hopefully get a fire under my booty. I do have loose skin, but not too bad. If I start kicking booty at the gym, I'm sure that would really help.

My motivation is seriously clothes shopping in the "normal" stores. And, many times I just go into stores to only try on clothes. I make a point to buy at least one nice outfit for every size I go down. All my other clothes can be from goodwill or secondhand. But, I want at least one outfit that makes me feel good about myself.
