[downsizing2017 64]

I had gastric sleeve june 2017. Starting weight 330 . day of surgery 319. I am now 199 and holding. I went from a size 24 to a size 12. I've lost 131 lbs and been able to keep it off. I'm still a work in progress but I'm happy. My goal is to lose down to 175. And hopefully with my active lifestyle and the life changes I've made I'll do it this summer.

You look fantastic! You're an inspiration for me to keep going! I'm one year and eight months in. I started at 328 and got down to 237...but I've gained some back and I'm trying to get motivated to get back on track. Seeing your progress is so wonderful Congrats!

Thank you. I gained a few lbs in the winter but I'm not letting it set me back. I'm just staying active and still keeping with the lifestyle changes I accepted when I had the surgery. I leave the word diet out of my vocabulary. I haven't touched a soda or sweet tea since surgery. I don't eat a lot of bread. Limit sugar. And most important stay moving. You are doing great. Never give up just keep moving on. I'm like a teenager I want to try everything now.

Thank you. I'm a little down right now gained a few lbs. Been cheating. Went to 4 birthday parties in 1 month and didn't turn anything down. I'm back on track just gotta be accountable for my bad food decisions. I really love this new life and never wanna give it up food again. I wish you well on your journey too. One day at a time right?

the good thing is you are noticing this and ready to make those changes to be more accountable 😀
