I've now reached 110 pounds lost! That is more than my sister weighs haha I go around saying "I lost a Sammy" lmao And my mom keeps saying "Half-a-Hana" lol The feeling is incredible. I'm buying size 10 outfits, medium dresses... I'm working out and running a lot and just generally enjoying life so much more than before.

This past weekend I went up to NY for a family wedding. I hadn't seen a number of these people in a long, long time and the response was overwhelming. Some people cried, they were so happy for me and my success and my good health. I felt and looked incredible. It was just an incredible weekend. Below are a couple of before photos and the last photo is a small collage from the wedding!

    Thanks!! :happy: :happy: :blushing: :blushing:

    The blue dress was from the Lord & Taylor outlet, a random designer/brand. The red dress is Ralph Lauren and I got it at TJ Maxx... Both are size 10s - which I'm pretty sure I haven't been in since freshman year of high school!! :noway: :happy:

    Work out as soon as you can and as often as you can - even if it's only walking sedately on an elliptical. Honestly, the working out has been the biggest part of my journey. I started with walking on the treadmill, or taking it slow on the elliptical a week out from surgery. After that, I started a couch-to-5K training app, then eventually started seeing a trainer to help me figure out weight and strength training. I used thumbtack - a service site that helps you find people - to find a reasonable priced trainer in my area.

    Beyond that, stick to the plan! Water, water, water, protein, protein, protein!

    Congrats on joining the journey and let us know how it's going!

    OMG! Half-a-Hana indeed! You look amazing. Now, I know I've seen your amazing pics before on the Success Stories board, because I ogled the red and blue dresses in your pics. I am glad you brought these photos to this group, too, because it is so encouraging to see how you have progressed! Congrats!

    You know what I really love? You looked beautiful and happy in your own skin in all the pictures, from heaviest to now. I think that's part of what's made you successful.
