3 Year Comparison Pictures

Sorry in advanced for photo whoring

So it's been almost two years since I had my sleeve done and I couldn't be more pleased with my results. I had to have my gallbladder taken out three weeks ago as a result of the rapid weight loss but I haven't seen any real changes and have had no negative side effects from its removal. For those of you who don't know me - I'm 22, in college finishing up a dual degree and working my ass off to keep losing weight although I've fallen off the wagon a few times. I have a personal trainer I work with three times a week plus three other days where I run - one day off, usually Sunday. I went from my highest recorded weight of 359, 3 weeks before I had surgery to my current weight of 208.5. I am still working towards my original goal of 180, and I know it will happen, no rush as far as i am concerned because I continue to lose weight and get myself back on track when I fall off the wagon.

So here is the fun part. My sorority throws a formal every year. Here is the three year comparison with the dress sizes listed next to each to give some reference point. The first picture is from 2011, the second from 2012 and the last pictures are from Friday. Oh and I also won "Most Inspiring" as a result of the changes I have made and the fact that I serve as motivation for others to get their lives together :) It's probably one of the most rewarding that's that has happened to me.. to see that I changed my life and I am helping others too. Yay. Happy losing everyone :)
