Kelly, you look amazing. Congratulations on an amazing year in all aspects of your life.

You can lose that last 5 pounds.  I too have been struggling with my last 10 pounds.  I am also 5 9" and have gone from a size 18 to a size 10.  I found myself comfortable in that size and have slipped into maintenance mode.  I have only lost 1 -2 pounds this past month so I started tracking everything again and buckling down and the scale started moving again.  

I can't wait for spring and the snow to melt.  Im in the Chicago area and we have had a long winter.  I am an avid walker but never ran. I'm going to give it a try once the snow melts.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Congratulations!  You look fantastic!  I'm with you on the running.  I actually ran a lot years ago, and post-op I've been able to get back into it.  I ran 4 miles yesterday and was doing fist bumps with the dog, I was so happy. :)

Thanks for your post.  I love seeing the change in people.  You should be so proud of yourself! :)

Wow stunning absolutely stunning. I just had RNY 4 days ago. I hope I'm half as successful as you have been in the last year. Great job working your tool, keep it up :-)

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! I know when I was pre op and my first few months out these one year out post were my favorite so I wanted to post this, even if the picswere a little outside the comfort zone!
