I started at 320, size 30 or 5/6x (probably more, but refused to get weighed at my highest) -

I had the VSG surgery 17 months ago, got to goal weight in six months, and have been at goal now for almost a year. I work hard every single day to mantain my weight, I eat right and workout hard (training for a marathon and half IronMan, with an eye on a full IronMan by 2015). I LOVE the new me.

145 lbs, size 4/6 or small/xsmall -

    I know there's a lot of distracting pictures here,. but there was some text, too.... She said "I had the VSG surgery 17 months ago, got to goal weight in six months"

    Congrats, OP, you look fabulous!
