7 weeks out..69 lbs gone forevery



I just don't seem to get on here enough. I guess it's a good thing, as to me it means all is going well. I have not had any issues since the surgery. I have lost a total of 69 lbs so far (including 35 pre surgery). At 3 months out I will take my new measurements so I can see the number difference that way too. I feel good, but still have a long way to go. I have gone from a tight 24 to a 16. woo hoo. that to me is amazing. So I know it is showing.... See for yourself... the first photo is from August 08, when I was 293 my starting weight... I was with a group of my girlfriends at a cabin on Camano Island. This is a annual retreat and something we all look forward to every year. I am really looking forward to going again this summer and to be able to really do a before and after. I have so much energy and am sleeping so
much better too. I think the only thing that I've had challenges with is getting all the protein shakes and vitamins in. It's hard but I am renewing and making sure I get them in. I know it effects the weight loss, my energy levels, and my overall health and well being. In the second photo I'm 224... and wearing a size 16.
