First progress picture!

Okay.. so I decided to do a progress picture. The picture on the left is right before I went in for a consult so I was about 227 in that one. So this is more of a Consult weight before and after since I did lose 15 pounds before surgery but I don't have a full body pic of that. Anyways the second picture is from this past Wednesday and at the time I was weighing in at about 170-171 I am as of yesterday and this morning down to 169. Throughout all of the issues I have had with nasty family members and struggling to find my groove I can now say without a doubt this was the best thing I have ever done for ME. My 4 month surgerversary will be in 4 days but I couldn't wait to post!

Beautiful congratulations. Any suggestions? My surgery is on July 10th

Thank you!

Advice wise, I'm sure you have read it already bu****ER WATER and WATER. I still struggle with getting it all in but it is so important and just make sure to hit your protein goal and watch your carbs. That is what I do and exercise. Also what has helped me the most is tracking everything that I eat. I use myfitnesspal and it helps a lot. These forums have helped tremendously! Good luck with your surgery, I cannot wait to see how well you do! 

Wow, what a difference in what is, to me, a relatively small change in weight!  I'm not minimizing your effort and success -- my starting weight was much higher than yours and I don't think anyone could really tell when I lost that same initial weight.  So, cool beans that my next 40 lbs lost (or so) will make such a difference.  

Congratulations on doing so keeping with the program, even with the obstacles!!!  You look terrific.

Thank you! I totally get it! I am a light weight so I guess that is why it is a lot for me. Heck it is a lot for anyone though! I bet you can tell on you too in pictures. I have learned that everyone loses differently and in different places. I have seen others with similar starting and height as me weigh the same and wear smaller clothes. 

Thank you and you keep up the good work too!!! 

You look awesome! Congratulations on your success! Thank you for inspiring me to post progress pics too!

Thank you! It took a while for me to post but I love looking at others! So happy you will be posting yours!! 

Awesome progress and you look fantastic!!

Thank you!!!

You look great!
