160s!!

I never hoped to be to the 160s. My goal and surgeons was 175 which put me just slightly into the overweight category. Today I weighted in at 169, and a 25.1 BMI from 288 and a 42.5 BMI. I am still slowly losing even though I am not try. I am losing about 2lbs a month, but that is okay for now. I am 2 years 1 month post op, but had a baby at 7 months out, so I have only been maintaining for the past 7 months. Anyway, the sleeve was the best decision of my life. Others here were such inspirations to me, I just want to share for those of you doubting it can really be done, that you can actually be LESS than goal.

 

from 24w/3x to 10/12 and medium tops. I feel awesome to be 32 with two kids.

Dammit Paige, how come I didnt' look like you in a size 10/12?  Are you 6 foot tall or something!?!?!?

I have really missed you on the boards.  I know getting preggers can take up a lot of your time. 

I have always thought you were super pretty but just wow now, get it gurl!!!

Congrats on your little bambino post-sleeve & of course to your other little bean too.

Welcome to the 160's, you look amazing!!!! angry

Awesome job!  I have a question though....

When you started out at 288 did you happen have a double chin thing going on?  It's hard to tell from the picture.  If you did, at what weight did you notice it disappear (because you certainly don't have it now)?

I did a little, never had a huge one though, I always said I was blessed to have a good neck. I do have a little sagging of the skin under my chin now...I dont think anyone else notices, but I do. I would say I completely lost all hint of a double chin at 200lbs and I am almost 5'9

Wow.  You look marvelous.  Great job working that sleeve.  And having a baby in the process as well.  You are an inspiration to us all!

Thanks for the post.
