Wow I can see a massive difference between these two pictures! The one on the left is me at 300+ and the one on the right is today where I’m down to the 250s!! Also thank god my hair has grown out more 😂 I used to have super long hair and then I just decided to shave it one day. It was not my best life decision tbh .

Down -75lbs!!!

Hi everyone, it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post. Work has been super stressful and busy and I’ve actually recently gotten promoted. I’ve also been dating and have met some new people, all of which have seen me neglecting this blog. 

I do follow some of you beauties on IG (send me your @ and I will follow you) and so I still get to see updates by and by and I’m so proud of all you amazing people and your progress!

With my own progress, I’ve officially hit the -75lbs down mark as of last week. The guy I’ve most recently started seeing has been on a fitness journey of his own for a number of years and has come down to 260lbs from 500+ lbs and he’s been hugely supportive in getting me out there exercising. Right now I’ve been going walking/jogging/running and swimming, but I’m going to hopefully start cycling again soon - just need to get a bike again! 

Overall progress, I will be 9 months post op on the 17th. 

287 to 212lbs

24W to 14 pants

38H to 36DD/DDD

2XL to L

Going to the gym can be scary for anybody, and especially so when you’re morbidly obese (and have a habit of putting your pants on inside out) 🙈⁣ ⁣ I’ve avoided the gym for years over fear of people laughing at me or taking pictures of me as I”m awkwardly swinging a kettle bell between my legs. ⁣ ⁣ In my newest blog post, I share 3 things that have helped me overcome my gym axnxiety. Link to post is in my bio! 💪🏻✨⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣

Awkward kettlebell swings for the win! I love doing strength training at the gym. Cardio...not so much. What is your favorite way to workout? ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ (at Health Bridge Fitness Center-Huntley) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt4fEePhdOK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12vqgtehkxiv1

Goodbye size 24! 👋🏻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Size 24 was the highest jean size that I’ve ever worn, and now I’m swimming in them! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’m so happy to say goodbye to this size. Even though I’ve lost more than 55 pounds, I can’t always tell when I look in the mirror. I still look the same in my mind. But moving down a jean size or two really helps my brain realize that I have lost weight! I’m a new person! 💪🏻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I can’t wait to see where the next year takes me. The lowest jean size I have worn as an adult is a 14. I would love to get back there! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Have any of you all gone down in a jean size recently? What was your biggest jean size, and what size are you now? Comment down below. 👇🏻⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Also check out my latest blog post to find out more about my weight loss journey.

As a weight loss surgery patient, I have to consume a lot of vitamins! 💊💊⁣ ⁣ I was never a vitamin taker before surgery, and so it's been hard to adjust at times. Granted it's a small price to pay for a second lease on life. ⁣ ⁣ Lately, I've been trying to find ways to make sure that I take my vitamins because I CONSTANTLY forget! Or I am really good about taking a few of them for breakfast, but then forget for the rest of the day. ⁣ ⁣ Do you have any special tips on how to remember taking your vitamins? Please comment down below and share your secrets. 👇🏻⁣ ⁣ P.S. right now I take: biotin, b12, D3, multivitamin (x2), calcium, probiotic, AND iron! I'm not messing around. 😬⁣ ⁣ ⁣ (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Btmc5bYh5Mc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7o95kbd2rca3
