Gorgeous!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. It's time to try something new!

You look AMAZING!!! Awesome work. I guess you'll need to buy a size 14 dress if you want one to "work towards."

By the way, your arms look so fantastic. Have you been doing a lot of weight lifting or other arm exercises? I haven't lost as much as you yet, but I have a serious bat-wing issue.

Nutshell:

Lost 140 lbs with VSG. (Hooray!!)

got pregnant (yeaaaa!)

got cancer (boooo!)

regained 40 lbs. (grrrr!)

In summary: Alive & Grateful.

I really haven't been exercising because when I do I get HUGE bruises that don't go away in just a day or so. They last months. I am still healing from the bruises I got just from when I was walking everyday at my 3 month mark

Goal 60% by 6 mths (143lbs) reached at 5.5mths

Did you talk to your doctor about that? That is not normal maybe your anemic or something....

I did talk to my dr and the explaination I got was that fat requires a large blood supply and that when I started losing weight so fast the fat wasn't there but the blood supply was and my body had not had time to adjust and reinsulate the supply so the vessels and capillaries were rupturing everytime I would walk causing crazy bruising. Eventually our bodies adjust but until then I am not to do any extensive exercising :( I was walking over 30 miles a week... As for anemia I have had chronic anemia my entire life as well as Vitamin D deficiency syndrome So I have taken large doses of vitamins daily since I was little. Right now I take 20,000 uis of Vitamin D3, 2 prenatals with iron, 160mg of iron, 1000mgs of B12. For the first time EVER and by that I mean since birth has my blood work came back normal and it did at my last 3 lab draws. (I have to have my blood work tested every 30 days to check my iron and d3 lvls) Vit D Deficiency Syndrome and the chroni anemia has been inherited by my children also...:(
