Anyone start out about 5'1"- 5'3" and around 230-250 pounds

 I bet is is frustrating to be a slow loser. but look at it like this, at least we are losing now and not gaining or staying the same. we will all get to our goal eventually and no matter how long it takes we will be so much healthier. good luck you look great!

Carrie I sent you a friend request so you can look at my blog pictures.  I started at 260, weighed 239 morning of surgery. 

I started at 260, and at 4 months am 194-198, depending on the day. Today 198. I retain fluid awful yet.

I have my pre op and my 3 month photos up, never got around to 4 month photos. Will soon be taking my 5 month.

I'm 5'2 (and a quarter LOL). I started at 234. I now weigh between 126 and 131  depending on the day, time of day, and time of month. I went from a size 18/20 to a size 4/6 in 9 months. I've been the same weight for almost a year now.

My befores...


My afters...

 wow you look great!!!  It doesn't look like you have any skin issues!  Secrets? lol

LOL. Thanks. nope, No secrets. LOL. except I do have a little bit of a panni, which is hidden by the shorts. Truthfully, I think just keeping active (I started the C25K program around a month out) and toning up some of the muscle helps. I didn't work out as much as I should have over the winter, and I can tell a difference, So yeah, while I haven't gained anything, the toning really does help hide issues.

 That's awesome!  I will have to look into that program.. Thanks :)

 LOL I am 5'1 1/2" every little bit helps. you look really good I hope I have results like you!

I am shorter and was fatter than the parameters you listed.  5'0' at 264 pounds.  Today, still 5'0" but 126 pounds. 

I have full body photos in my profile here.  I just purchased a new camera last night.  Will post full body pics here later today.

I understand your interest in before and after for us shorties!

I'm 5'1.5" At the start of my two week liquid diet I was 233.5. I'm just over 4 months out and have lost 52 pounds (including my two week pre op diet).

Sorry no pics to share-

Congrats on the 11 pounds so far- That's awesome!
