Lots of weight lost, with pictures

Options
I have always been the fat girl. I then grew into the fat woman, and the fat mother. I don't want to be the fat bride, too! So, I am working on losing the weight, getting more fit, and obviously with those come getting healthy! I did have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy done last September. This has been a wonderful TOOL to assist my weight loss. Please do NOT make the mistake of thinking it is "easy" or that I didn't have to work for my loss. I still have to do exactly what anyone else has to do to lose weight. Only if I don't, it's not just a matter of gaining weight. It becomes a dangerous thing, and detrimental to my health. I struggle every day to make the right food choices and get plenty of activity in. I just wanted to share with you all that it can be done, no matter which method/tool you choose to utilize! Have faith in yourself, and never stop!

    wow...how tall are you? I would never have thought, based on pictures, you were as heavy as you say. Amazing job, and a total inspiration for someone struggling at the beginning of my life change to lose 200 pounds.

    I am 5'10. For the past year the exercise I did was all in the water. In September I began teaching water aerobics. So now, I work out in the pool, on the deck, plus I do weights and walking/riding at the gym.
