One Year Later, 100+ loss (pics)

You are a hottie! Congrats. I've been down some of that same road myself.

Had a health crisis that put me in the hospital on 10/31/15. It was an acute staph infection brought on by stress, overwork, and ignoring my Type 2 diabetes.

Got out of the hospital 12/11/15 and have never looked back. Went on a High Fat, Low Carb diet and started daily exercise the very next day. Many days I don't want to, but I kick myself in the @ss and do it anyway.

Today I'm 95 lbs. lighter than I was when I entered the hospital. (My profile pic is a before pic.) My waist is now a 30-31" size, my suit size went from 50+ to a 40R. And like you, I'm completely off insulin and all prescription meds. I run 5-7 miles nearly every day.

I'm thin (5'10", 169 lbs.), I'm tan and I can do aerobic activity for HOURS. LOL. I love life and I'm no longer depressed or suicidal, which I was when my life collapsed. I thank God for it all.

Keep up the great work, babe. You look magnificent.

I was having a poor me day...I have fallen on the wagon and had the wagon run over me. Then I read this!! Wow! Just what I needed today!! What an inspiration...you look wonderful. Keep on..keeping on. I have no doubt you will reach your goal.

You are such an inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You look amazing. Beautiful both before and after. Keep up the good work.

You are stunning! Your story is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing!

Yassss! You look gorgeous! I am so happy for you! I took my soon to the docor he had not been to in a few years and it didnt occur to me that they hadnt seen me in a while. Tge docor couldnt help himself i guess and blurted out, "Did you have gastric bypass?" in the middle of the exam. Congrats again!

Well done for reclaiming your life! You look amazing and you must feel better too. I'm with you on the difficult days-for some of us that just doesn't go away but the odd day won't harm things-we're learning to find a balance I guess.

Thanks for your post! I had a rough day and this was good medicine. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing. You are strong and you are beautiful!

Congratulations I bet you won't need that surgery. Well done on controlling diabetes. Let us know when you hit your next major milestone
