Eclectick 129 Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry, no before or after pics yet, but I started at 283, I am 5'6 I wore a tight 24 pants, and down to a loose 18..getting ready to move into 16's I only weigh myself at Publix when I go and the last time which was about 2 weeks ago I was at 241. My surgery was 11/24 So, about 42 pounds in 2 months. NEVER have I been able to do something like that in my life!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rebeccalee618 26 Posted February 11, 2015 Ok the first pic was 5 months in My start weight was 288 and size 24 and I think at five months I was in a 16/18. I'm a very curvy build. Surgeon actually used the words big boned which I found funny because isn't that a great excuse. Second pic- right was at 8 months. I was in a size 14/16. Left was at 10 months at a 12/14. 3rd and 4th are just current different angles. I'm 5'5. I will be honest and tell you I did most of my losing with diet. I am exercising now. I am currently at my one year mark and 190-195 so almost (but not quite ????) 100 lbs down. We are all build differently so keep that in mind. Some ppl are built to be a size 4 and others a size 10. Good luck and I hope that this helps! Remember the first few months are the hardest but still the best choice I've ever made! It's time to live life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
