1 year Surgiversary pics!
O.K. this is weird...
I started out at 294 also. Same size and I'm 5'9+. I'm half German. We look similar in body shape. I've got the blonde hair too!
I hope this might encourage you....I was in the 170's for 4 months. I wanted to be at least 168 which would put me into the 'normal BMI' category. I started using sparkpeople.com and the weight came off. Now I fluctuate between 160 to 163 normally.
You look great Tanja!

Tanja,
You were and are very pretty to begin with and you look fabulous now. I have to agree that for whatever reason, big girls can be strong and assertive but thinner people are considered *****y. I to know that not being able to drink with eating will be hard for me and I have already started to try to do this to get ready.
Congrats on your success.

on the ***** thing...
I was ashamed. Didn't go out much... ashamed of the way I looked. Didn't look people in the eye, didn't eat a lot in public. I certainly would never eat an ice cream on the street or junk food. People never understood why I was so overweight because "I didn't eat much".
LOL If they only knew!
It was horrible internal prison.
I'm totally different now. I enjoy it when Costco has samples because I can try small bits of indulgent items that I would never keep in the house. I walk around head high snacking, feeling good and nothing or no one bothers me. I look good and man this four cheese pizza tastes great! LOL!!!
It's confidence. Look where we came from.
I wan't to make a T-shirt that says "I used to be 294 pounds...go ahead, look at my T & A all you want"
I'm proud.
