Transformation Tuesday only a day late

I haven't posted one of these in a while but I put it together yesterday for "transformation Tuesday" and I figured I would post it here as well. I am now three years out, it's hard to believe the progress that I have made. Although I don't post often, I still lurk around and like to see what every one is up to. If anyone has any questions or just wants to chat, I'd be glad to talk!

Also I get asked sometimes about the short hair - I donated it to locks of love but if your hair is thinning (mine was) then the short cut works wonders for making it look full again! It's also incredibly liberating to cut off your security blanket (it was mine) and be able to let your personality come through.

 

Happy losing!

Wow - you look amazing!  And I totally agree about the hair - chopping it off makes it so much better.  I am in the midst of the big hair loss phase and I just cut off 6" or so last week.  It looks so much fuller and healthier now.

 

I do have a few questions...

How tall are you?  And if you feel comfortable sharing - what size are you now?

We have similar HW and I am just trying to grasp what goal is realistic, where I will be at 200 pounds and if going lower is sustainable.  My surgeon's goal for me is 240 and I'm only 25 pounds from that, so I know that is totally within reach, but I want to get under 200...185 seems nice, but I can't even imagine what that would be like!

Sure! I am 5'4. I started at a size 3x or 26/28. I am now between a 14 and a 16 depending. I choke a lot of the sizing up to the fact that I have a ton of excess skin that will need to be taken care of in the future. As for tops, I'm generally a Large or XL depending, again this is because I prefer things to be a little bit longer to cover what is left of my belly.
