Hey sleevers! I was sleeved 8/31/2015 in NJ! My SW: 414 lbs (that becomes alot easier to say as I am losing weight, but my god was it tough to say in the beginning ) My CW: 296 and my GW (for now, this is what I set in the beginning of this journey) is 170lbs. I'd love to hear from everyone on how they are doing! (especially august sleevers!) If there is one thing ive learned through all of this, it is to take pictures! Some days I get down on myself because I have so much farther to go, but I go back to pictures and it brings me back to reality. here is my before and after picture, and Id love to see everyone elses! same shirt, 118lb difference

WOW! What a change. That shirt is much longer, your stomach and butt are no longer pushing out the shirt. Even your arms are smaller. I know when you were 4 months out you didn't see a change but I sure hope you can see it now. Your looking rally great!

When I started my weight loss journey I was 497. Over many years I lost down to 314 before my surgery in Jan and I didn't see the change. Now that I am down to 263 I see the change, my clothing is falling off of me and I had to take in several pants. I have not gone shopping yet as I am on disability but know I will have to soon as my blouses really can't be taken in on the top half of my body.

You keep going strong and you will get to your goal of 170 real soon and be amazed at the size clothing you will be wearing and how great you will feel.

I'm soooo proud of you! I know how hard it is as I have struggled with my weight most of my life.

I have also found pictures to be the best motivator and comforter when the scale isn't moving fast enough.

You should be so proud of yourself bc I can definitely see the difference!
