in Success Stories
The photos on the left show myself last summer at 330 pounds (after already losing 30 pounds from my pregnancy) and were taken about 4 months and another 30-40 pound loss before my RNY. The photos on the left are from the beginning of May weighing in at 230 pounds and were taken about 6 months post RNY.

It's been a lot of hard work, I have learned a lot about myself in the past year, most importantly that I am stronger than I ever thought I was.

I still have a lot of hard work ahead of me and about 77 more pounds to lose to hit that "healthy bmi" but I am bound and determined to get there, not just for my son, my husband, for myself.

I just hope that this reaches even one person who is facing struggles in their weight loss journey, and inspires them to keep on pushing! I encourage those of you who are pre/post op, or just plain in need a no bs buddy to help you through the difficult days to add me, best of luck to all of you on your fitness goals!

    It might be helpful for you to get a BF analysis. You don't look like you have 70 more to lose. I would be shocked if you really have more than 50.

    Thanks everyone! Steely reasoning for the 77 is so I can get down to about 150 (considered normal for my 5'7 self) and then get pregnant again... and since twins run in my family I want enough allowance to be able to get pregnant without going over 200 pounds. Thanks again for all of your kind words, keep fighting the good fight, its AMAZING to be able to
    comfortably sleep in a car seat, cross my legs, jog, climb stairs, sit in cheap chairs and small booths...
    those little things really add up I wish you all the very best of luck!

    Wow, you look so great! I would love to be able to check in with you to get your insight. I have been on MFP for about 2 months now...haven't lost anything. I am overwhelmed with how many calories are in EVERYTHING! I am diabetic and using MFP to help monitor my carb intake. I am at 245 and look very similar to you, before you lost your weight. What do you do for snacks?
    Thanks, Phriezia

    Great job!! You look fantastic! My stats are similar to yours and I'm 13 months postpartum needing to lose another 70-80 lbs. I'd love to get down to 155ish for the same reason. What kind of diet/exercise are you doing?

    Hi,
    Very inspiring. Can you pl. tell us how you lost the weight? Did you follow any program or just controlling the diet helped?
    Just sent you a friend request, you are a great inspiration.

    Thx

    Really? MY ARMS look good? We should be besties... hehe I HATE my arms... I take measurements and they have actually gotten BIGGER from the weightloss (with all the lovely gravity). My boobs and butt have shrunken down a ton as well but I keep reminding myself why I did this, to get healthy so can be around for my kids and be an active part not only in their lives but in my own... skin is skin, I'm not even trippen!
