MrsFraga2016 72 Posted January 21, 2014 Just wanted to share my progress so far. 41 pounds gone. Exercising 5x a week. The left photo was taken the first day of school this year in August 2013. I weighed 369. The right photo was taken last week because I felt "skinny" for some reason at work. I am now 328. My surgery was 10/2/13. I still have a lot of work to do, but: 1.) my clothes fit better 2.) I'm rediscovering old clothes I haven't worn in 4-5 years 3.) my shoes fit better! 4.) I'm not tired all the time 5.) people notice my weight loss now 14 B-52, MyHighway, gowalking and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrantS1976 243 Posted January 21, 2014 Forty one pounds is awesome! Great job and keep up the good work. Give yourself credit and realize it takes time. I had surgery in October as well. I am so glad I did it and am experiencing some of the things you mentioned (clothes fitting better, feeling better, and people noticing) and it is an awesome feeling. Be proud of yourself! 3 ☠carolinagirl☠, SillyAuntDi and Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SillyAuntDi 1,610 Posted January 21, 2014 Fantastic job!!! Don't discount the non-scale victories! Feeling better, moving better, clothes and shoes fitting better...those are just as remarkable as the numbers dropping on the scale! Keep it up, sister 2 Bandista and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandista 7,466 Posted January 21, 2014 So happy for you! I like #4 -- not feeling tired all the time. That feels like the key to everything, doesn't it? Having the energy to make good choices, to be active and happy in our lives. Yippee! Keep at it -- you are doing beautifully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsFraga2016 72 Posted January 21, 2014 Believe me I am not discounting myself at all. I do feel so much BETTER! I just meant that it's not as much as some other people that post pictures of themselves on here (like 100 pounds). Don't worry, I'm proud of my 41 pounds. Just had a fill yesterday. At 6/10cc now. I'm hoping to me down to 50 pounds by Feb. 1st. 2 Jim1967 and SillyAuntDi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsFraga2016 72 Posted January 21, 2014 By the way! I found a GREAT free app last night. You document pictures of yourself and share them with others on their weight loss journey. It is great encouragement. The app is called: Weilos My username is: nicolemarie3726613 I definately recommend joining Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
