Can I see some before and after pics?

[ms.sss 15,614]

K, I really intended to write up a post on my 2 year anniversary (back in October!), but just never got around to it. I did make/update a little "progress" pic collage about a month ago, that again, I had meant to accompany a better-late-than-never anniversary post, but yep, just didn't get around to it.

Anyhoo....this pic has been sitting in my albums for over a month now, and since I honestly have no real intention to write up an anniversary post (I'm like 2 yrs + 4 months now, lol), I'm just gonna post it here so it doesn't go to waste:

2 weeks pre-op: 235.0 lbs
Surgery Date weight: 223.1 lbs
Goal Weight: 127 lbs (7 myths post op)
Current weight: 113.9 (this morning)

P.S. I'll try to do a proper anniversary post at the 3 yr mark...lol

I love your fitness pictures! What is your routine for getting toned? That is my biggest goal after surgery.

Heavy weights! Meaning, you’re failing by the 8th-10th rep. I complete 3-4 sets of every exercise. Weightlifting completely helped me with body recomposition. I eat lots of Protein & complex carbs to build muscle, because that “toned” look is added muscle & you have to lift heavy in order to break down muscle tissue & allow to repair & grow. Good luck to you!!!

You have the loveliest legs! They look like they’ve been sculpted. You should be seriously proud of your efforts.

Nice work! I love the evident confidence changes just based on the difference in your posing between the two pics ❤️

I never thought to take photos. I guess I should now

[keesh_n87 19]

I wanna play! I have a long way to go but I’m more than halfway there.

Beginning photo was me at my highest weight of 255 a week before surgery. Second photo is me last week at 187. My goal weight is 130lbs. I’ll be 5 months postop on Saturday.

yeah, you totally should!

One of my favourite pastimes after I reached goal was to show people (who asked) the pics of me bigger. For some reason, I really liked to show these bigger pics of me...which is funny because I used to hate them and would go to great lengths to avoid having anyone see them.
