NMJG 1,266 Posted February 17, 2014 You look great! Really, congrats on a job very well done! As of today I am BMI in the 25% range, but I still think I'm fat. I just keep seeing my awful flabby tummy and the fat that hangs off my saddlebags. Hard to change our self perceptions. Will take much longer than losing the weight. 2 Memecita72 and BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats to you as well . I think it's my stomach that bothers me . Working out , losing all this weight to have a flabby stomach . I'm looking into a Tummy Tuck but I have to be at least a year out my nutritionist days . Looking at pictures helps , and gives me motivation to see my before and after so far . 1 NMJG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleeveless in seattle 208 Posted February 17, 2014 Wow, you really wear your weight well. You looked nowhere near 380 and still look nowhere near 240. You look great! Good job! I hope to follow your footsteps! Any tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlotta1 401 Posted February 17, 2014 I had the opposite problem..I did not think I was that overnight before surgery..but I saw pic of myself prior to surgery ..I was bigger than what my eyes saw. Trace your body on blocking paper ..then u. Can see how others see u through their eyes. Too bad u had not done this prior to surgery. Then u would have been amazed. U look great. We can surely see a big difference. Congrats. Yes and have that Tummy Tuck in the future if need be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any tips? Thank you ! I am 5'11 , my height has always helped me that no one could guess I weighed that much . My recommendation is to follow everything the surgeon tells you ! I'm very strict with my diet , I exercise at least 4 days a week , and I don't cheat often , and if I do it's still something somewhat healthy . I still haven't tried beer , bread , or anything fried because I knew I needed a lifestyle change . I follow a lot of healthy clean eating people on Instagram if you like to learn new recipes . You can message me f you like I'll send them to you ! Good luck to you , we are all on this journey together! 1 BigGirlPanties reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
