8 pics uploaded at GOAL WEIGHT!!!
I never ever thought I would reach my GOAL WEIGHT! OR EVEN BE UNDER IT for that matter!!!!!!!!!! I started this journey at 298 in 2004 when I had LapBand. I then had Gastric Bypass in 2008 at 255. I am now down to a HOT 144!! I never in my life imagined I would be this weight! I feel great and the attention I get now is amazing! I hope I can be an inspiration for anyone struggling because I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD DO IT! I was a VERY SLOW loser but I finally made it!
Take a look at my 8 new pics and let me know what you guys think!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!! I have to work BOO HOO!! Ill be around the boards as much as I can to be a support and cheerleader to all!!

You look fantastic. I'm shocked you used to weigh 280lbs..your arms and stomach look great. I will say though, I really preferred your hair dark...especially since you are so tan.
Congrats!
Congrats!
Wow Nicole!!! I am so fricken happy for you - you look fantastic!!! We've been at this for about the same time. What a long journey, right!
What happened that changed with your RNY? I remember when you posted about being discouraged because you had not lost as you had hoped with your revision.
So my band didn't work for 3 years out the gate, then it did for 2 with Weigh****chers (lost to a size 6/8), then I had issues that would not reverse (esphogael dilation) then I just revised to a VSG 6/6/11. Did I mention I gained back 2/3's my weight? Now I am slowly losing again and loving my sleeve.
xoxo, again I am so glad for you honey.
