Over 2 years out update before/after pics

There are pics in my OP. :)

Wow, you look amazing, congrats on your success!
Did you have any plastics done? Seriously you look amazing

Nope, can't afford plastics unfortunately. Still, I didn't look amazing naked when I was morbidly obese and I don't look amazing naked now. But I sure do look a LOT better clothed. :~p

Great post.  Funny...I've not been on here in about 6 months and bam the first thing I see is a familiar face who inspired me to start strength training.  I do Body Pump at least once per week along with about three 1 hour cardio days.  I've maintained nicely at 170-175 although I really want to get those last 10-15 lbs off.  I, too, jugle kids, work, and life in general and still have to keep things in perspective.  I'm as healthy as I've ever been.  Just wanted  you to know you made a contribution to my efforts even though you may have not known. 

Thanks,
Laura

Hey Laura! Yes I definitely remember you and am so happy that I helped inspire you. My advice for activity is always do something you enjoy...it doesn't matter what. If you like it, you will stick with it. This is why I don't do much cardio. I hate it, so there is no point in kidding myself into thinking I will stick with it 4 times a week for life, failing, then beating myself up again over it. I mostly just skip it altogether and am happy. :)

Its funny I agree with you wholeheartedly. I also havent beend on here for the same reason. I dont feel the need to tell people I've had the VSG anymore, I just eat smaller meals. It no longer consumes my life thinking about it. I am very conscious of my weight but not so much of what I eat. My reason for getting it was the same I wanted no food off limits just limits to the amounts. I weigh exactly what I weighed 1 yr ago. And I feel good and thats what its all about.
P.S. I agree you look absolutely beautiful. Good luck to all.

OMG! Your kidding right? J/K You dont even look like the same person. You look freakin AMAZING!!!!
