Mother's Day 2014 and Mother's Day 2015.
My highest known weight was 317lbs (I'm a smidge lighter in the "before" pic). One year later, 9 months post-op, I am 170lbs. I run. I run so much, in fact, that I am running a half-marathon in 7 days! I've lost as much as my 14 year old weighs! Feeling very grateful today!

    I thought your second pic was someone sitting beside you and when I scrolled down I realized the side by side was you! Amazing transformation! I love the tattoos too!
