Hi Everybody, it's been a while since I've posted. Gotta say that I've been so active enjoying this summer so far, that I haven't had a lot of time to post. I have been enjoying other's inspirational posts and stories here and there though. So, I'm now in Onderland! Got on the scale the other day and I was 195. I can't believe I'm only 30 from my goal. When I started, I was a whopping 341lbs and absolutely miserable. It's hard for me to look back and believe that I was that person that hated

So it's been a while since I've posted. I love my sleeve and am 9 months out. I'm a bit concerned because bad habits are creeping back in and I need to get re-motivated and re-focused.
I'm down overall 121lbs which is fantastic. I am much more active and enjoying my new body. I have 20 lbs before I reach onderland and have been a little complacent this last month resulting in no weight loss.

I'm so happy with my sleeve!! I've lost 116lbs. I'm in a size 14 from a size 26. My skin has cleared up, I'm active and happy and am pursuing things I love in a body I can manage.

I went out to dinner (chose to walk rater than drive 2.5 miles) and meet with a morbidly obese co-worker who is managed by a series of medications.

Went to the dentist today for my 6month check up. Last time I was at the dentist was just days after my surgery. Today, the hygienist looked at the patient profile picture and said "oops, I think I have the wrong file, this isn't you" I gently corrected her and she said I definitely needed to update my picture. No cavities either. What a great day!!

I can't believe it's been 6 months already. I'm really loving my sleeve and the new life I've created for myself.
I'm down 75 lbs since surgery, just over 100lbs total with the pre-diet. I have so much more energy now. Moving isn't such a chore anymore, and I've found new ways to be active and get exercise. I even started taking some salsa lessons!
I've gone from 341lbs to 237- A size 26 to a
