200 lb weight loss looks like this..
On me, at least. Looking at before and after pics always helped inspire me when I was pre-op, and even when I was feeling a bit lost post-op. Here's some of mine.
A bit about me (for those that don't know me...), I had surgery December 2014 at a weight of 389 lbs. I now weight 185. I still have more to go of course, but the weight loss has tapered off some. I have good days and bad days. Days where I'm shocked when I catch a glimpse of myself passing a mirror, and I have days when I feel like my hips and thighs are still WAY too big. Overall, I'm satisfied though, I consider myself a success, and I look forward to losing my last 30 (or more?!) pounds.

I just went to Urban Planet and spent 50 dollars, with tax, on 3 gorgeous dresses. The closest thing at Penningtons or Addition-Elle would have cost 70+. I get that bigger sizes = more fabric, but come on. It's unfair to us bigger women.
As an afterthought I guess I'm not a bigger woman anymore?

A success you are indeed my girl !!!!!!
Never lose sight of ALL the amazing things you have accomplished already and know you have what it takes to make to where you want to eventually be !!!!
I know as things start to slow down it gets tougher...we just have to keep focused and keep moving onward ....and in the meantime try to just enjoy where we are at !!!! (I REALLY need to take my own advice!!) LOL
Take care
