PissiChrissi 200 Posted July 9, 2016 On my own, several years ago I was able to lose 70 lbs on my own. I didn't do it in a healthy way. I basically stopped eating. I might have gotten in 300 cals a day and was a gym junkie. My hair fell out and I was so malnourished that when I stood up in my sisters wedding, I fainted mid ceremony. I then met the love of my life and got happy and ate again and gained it all back. 10 years later I had gained a lot more and was at my heaviest. I got sleeved 4/20 and I'm officially down to the max I was able to lose before! 70 down and counting! I've lost a lot less hair, I feel so much better, and my quality of life has improved greatly! Every pound from here on out is a new highest weight lost! Best decision I've ever made and I can't wait to see where I'm at by this time next year! Thank you all for the help, encouragement, and tips throughout this process! Love you guys! Pic on the left is 3 weeks after surgery after already losing about 25 lbs. Pic on the right is Friday ????
