well i haven't posted in a bit and thought i would share some changes well started at 355 and now weigh in at 225 for a loss of 130 lbs in 9 months. I started at a size 28/30 and now am about a size 18. Some recent NSV's include, being able to wear a chain passed down from my grandmother, prior to surgery it was like a choker. For the first time ever i was able to get on a water trampoline at camp as it takes hoisting yourself up a floating raft ..... no problem now. I have been canoeing and wasnt scared of sinking. Life is good I go for my 9 month check up in about 2 weeks and will post after. Know that i still often take time to read posts on here but have had little time to respond but enjoy seeing everyone's updates

Amazing! You look pretty awesome! You give me hope!
My starting weight is very close to what yours was... And although I have managed to drop a few pounds over the last month it is hard.
I am now waiting to get my call for the surgeons appointment and your update gives me strength to hang in there.

Thank you and keep posting those updates!

I just want to make sure you use it a that inspiration and not comparison.
