10 1/2 months and down 150!

HI all.... I just posted a couple new pictures taken over the weekend. I am about 10 1/2 months out and lost about 150. Before surgery, I expected to be the ultimate success story and look like Jessica Simpson. If you would've asked me a year ago would I be happy at 235 pounds, I would've said "No, of course not, that's huge!" And it is. I realize that wherever I go, I am still one of the biggest people around, but I really don't care. I can ride roller coaster, buy designer clothes, and I feel pretty good, so, if I don't lose another pounds, I still consider this a success. Being 235 is a lot better than 381, and my world has gotten a lot bigger. Of course, I hope to lose more, but, for now, I am pleased. Best wishes to all! Carrie

So happy for you. Look how wonderful you have done. I am 8 months out today and totally understand where you are coming from. I have lost 125 and want to lose atleast 60 more but if I don't you know what we are both better than we were a year ago. Good luck on the rest of your journey,Jennifer 361 / 236 / 175ish

Thanks Jennifer, I would love to weigh 199. To me, that would be absolutely amazing, and I am confident I will get there someday. Congratulations to you too! You are doing great! BTW, do you love Arkansas? We are moving to Little Rock next spring. Good luck, Carrie

Congratulations Carrie! I'm 13 months out and down 147 lbs. I feel somewhat disappointed as I really wanted to get under 200, and still hope too, but, like you I am so much better off than when I was 384. Lori 384/237/199

Wow, what are you guys talking about?! You look AMAZING! I can't wait to loose that much weight! It's still hard to believe it works!
