Before and After 10 months out (PICS INCLUDED)
I finally had th balls to post my journey on facebook with my before and after pics. I had so much anxiety about doing it. I was so ashamed of the before pics. I couldnt believe it was actually me. I am overwhelmed at the support I have received both on and offline. I am having some issues. The dreaded tailbone/****yx issue. I am going to the orthopedic next week. And believe it or not, I have lost an inch in height and 2 shoe sizes. Here goes the pic
my high weight @ 269 lbs
A couple days before surgery @ 257 lbs
I had gotten down to 154 lbs. this is me then
I actually put on weight and shot up to 162 lbs. People were saying I was putting on too much muscle and was beginning to look masculine. so I am focusing more on cardio and have gotten to 156 lbs. I am thinking I need to try to dip below my goal weight and then put the rest back on in muscle. I feel great, better than I have in a long time. I havent been on in a while and I know I need to touch base you guys. There is so much going on and changes in my body, it's a lot.
If anybody has any info on the tailbone issue... please let me know. or is there anything I can look forward too.

Love the muscles!! I'm a big fan of weight training and love seeing new muscles popping out.
Eileen i do too. Nicole Wilkins is my body inspiration. she is about my height and at my goal weight. I have her picture in my cell phone as a constant reminder of where I wanna be. Is that obsessive?...lol

thanks ladies. I almost cried when I put up those before pics and I had difficulties breathing. because I didnt know if I should let anyone see me like that. (the ones right before surgery). I was gonna take it down, but hubby was like, you may inspire someone....leave it up.
I am in the gym like 5 days a week. we have one at my job. I dont want to go back there. I have always worked out. even during the before pics, I was working out 4 days a week. I just wasnt getting the results I wanted. now I only need to do 30 mins a day instead of the hour and half to 2 hrs a day I was doing before with no results.
you guys are doing so well so far too. good luck
