I think I've done it!

*high five* Way to go! I know all to well about the loose skin. But as you know clothes can hide that it can't hide fat. The pants pic made me giggle because I have a pair I can do that with too.

On the loose skin front depending on insurance and your doctor you can sometimes get it's removal paid for if your primary deems it a health hazard like it flops over and causes yeast infections/irritation where it rubs. If yours is doing that you maybe in luck.

You look amazing :) Keep up the awesome job makes me smile when ever you update.

I'm not sure though, It doesn't make me break out in a rash, or cause infections. But when Im doing physical things, it tends to bounce and slap and pull, which really does cause me loads of pain. I cant wear jeans either, because that also pinches and hurts my loose skin. Like where the crotch is, I t just hurts so bad. But I dont think thats enough for the surgery.
And the big pants. I know! It's amazing that instead of one of you fitting in it, you can know fit two or three! It shows you how far you've really came, congrats! you did wonderful then!
 
So glad you are updating with even more pictures.. your story is absolutely amazing, I could look at your before and afters forever! You've taken at least 20 years off your visual and no doubt physical age.

Beautiful, both inside AND out it seems. You are going to inspire hundreds, maybe even thousands of people. You should be so proud. Best of all, you've got a long, healthy life ahead of you now.

Congratulations girly! :)

I would love to inspire people! Millions if I could! It's so important to do this for yourself.

Like you've said, I've added lots of years back to my life because of what I did. And I even added a life! SOme overweight people might outlive me, but have they really lived? When I was so overweight I was miserable. I was lonely, I just sat there, day in, day out, I always felt bad for myself, I always cried about how I looked. I just really want to be the one to inspire everyone, I've been there, I've lived it, I'm never going back, I'm looking forward! And thanks for the compliments. You're so nice!
 
babez u r an inspiration to many ov us!!

i started wid 240 lbs and now am 176 ...but you know, am all da tyme scared when I mite give up cos thats what I ve done earlier many many times....how to keep oneself motivated?? if u can tell..

and a big muackzzz to you for posting..cos looking at u motivates!

First off, WAY TO GO! 240 to 176 is already a HUGE accomplishment! Just look inside of yourself, you know you want this more than anything! Don't be scared. You're not going to fail at something you've already came this far at! you've done amazing! Dont be afraid of what you've done in the past. The past is the past. You learn from those mistakes. Different things, keep different people motivated thats for sure. Just make sure you have a regimen you can stick with, and do all the time. Don't push youself too hard at everything, for many people I've come to notice that's why they don't stay on the weightloss, because what they put for themselves is just too hard to maintain every day. Don't think of this as something you just do then stop also. Thats not going to get you anywhere. Don't think ." when I get down to this im going to stop." No... You wont ever stop, and when you can come to realise that you're going to do this forever, you'll learn its a lifestyle. You might not have to work so HARD at it when you're at your goal, but you want to make sure you'll maintain your weight. find foods you enjoy but are healthy. I'm sure you know a lot of these tips and things because you've already made it far. But REMEMBER, YOU'VE CAME THIS FAR, DONT GIVE UP!!!!
 
Hi

Hi, I just want to say you look fantastic. Your really an inspiration. And i'm sorry if i bother you when I say this but have you got any tips at all for weight loss? I'm really stuck in a rut and feeling really depressed about myself at the minute. Your before and after pics really do inspire me to change but in some aspects I dont know how. :) Congratulations on your progress. You look wonderful. :)

OH, hunny! Speak no more. We ALL get in those ruts! I have had my fair share!
But by tips what do ya mean? What area are you having trouble in. Diet? Exercising? All around remember Food only tastes good for a little bit, but loosing weight makes you feel so much better!
 
You are such an inspiration! Amazing! Agree that you have literally taken YEARS off your appearance! It's incredible! Great, great - FANTASTIC - job!!!!
 
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you. =D


-- and noooo thats not QS&L..... It's some small PASTA shop my mom works at.:conehead:
 
I don't really post a lot here but WOW :eek2: :eek2:

You look absolutely amazing - not only your body but your face too. You're really pretty! This is such an inspiration: I'll get my sorry butt out for a walk tomorrow :D

I just have a question about the lose skin (which I'm pretty worried about myself, to be honest) - has it started to tight up and are you doing any specific exercises for it?

Regardless, you look goooorgeous, I'm so jealous!! Good work :grouphug:

For the skin, I think it might have tightened up a little bit. Dont worry about it till you get there. Concentrate on getting to your goal. Every one's skin is different, and my genes are horrible! Why worry about it really. When it's time for skin to start showing and stuff, that means you're SO much healthier then before. stronger... Why want to not accomplish that?

these are how i look as of right now. I just took 'em not 5 mins ago.
 
I can't wrap my head around the picture of you on the first page is the same person as the picture above. I've already commented on the amazing job you've done, but it is really incredible.

Its posts like these that really keep me motivated. Since losing the weight is such a slow process, its so easy for me to get in the mindset of its never going to happen.

So, thanks again.
