Everything you've accomplished is to be celebrated !!! These photos are inspiration that will help other women, give hope during those difficult days. I would love to know how you got your waist back 🤔  

Livinbreezy, before i got so overweight i had a pretty tiny waist — between 24 and 25”…its currently about 27.5” so it didn’t come all the way back tho will see if i get the last ten pounds off. I’m not sure why the pictures are so grainy and not clear but what you cannot see is the looseness on my tummy and arms and outer/upper thighs. For some reason i look better than i really am. So I think the waist is just genetics for me. However i do a lot of ab workouts - i use a contraption that i have to keep stabilized for planks, Russian twists, crunches and leg ups. But only about 3-4x a week. So when i say a lot i mean like 20 minutes a few times a week so maybe not so much although a lot of my workout is total body…thank you for the sweet words you sent. 🥰💕🥰 

I'm a fan of bravery. And the whole point of Fat Secret is to "put it out there" that you want to change. We should feel privileged that you trust us enough to show us how bad it got. In exchange, we will support your goals and progress.💚🏆 

You look amazing!! You should be proud! Excellent work! 🩵 

You’re doing great! 

Women! Aren't we being own worse critics sometimes a little too much🤷‍♀️ Give yourself some grace, the photos are doing what they're supposed to. Yesterday, the present, and a nice smile that shows 'Life is pretty darn good' That's what I see. And thanks for the tips on ab workouts. I do need to focus on planks.  

Maybe it’s the blurriness but I don’t see any loose skin in the after picture and you’re in beach season shape. Lookin 🔥 

You look incredible, awesome work 

Stay focus ur doing great👏🏼👏🏼❤️ 

Amazing and Inspiring! Thank you for sharing! 

That is inspiring! Thank you for sharing and being brave. 

You are beautiful in both images. I'd totally go gay for that hot bod (don't tell the boyfriend he'd get too excited.) You are truly gorgeous. We are women: we are goddesses. men should tremble and bow before us. 

Thank you for sharing. Inspirational! 

I know how bothered you are by your loose skin and I admire you so much for your honesty! I don't post my fat self because I'm so embarrassed that I was ever at that point. You look lovely and I know once you have your surgery you will feel like a million bucks. I think that you look good now but I also understand. You have beautiful features and hair!💜💜 

Love your furry friend!!!👱‍♀️🐈‍⬛ 

Well for the love of sawyer (thats my white dog)! You all made me smile. And laugh. And yes I’m still cringing at myself. JB—i have to say i put this pix up for me to try and grow from what happened to me. I can and do blame a lot of it on prednisone and pain but prednisone didn’t put ice cream, chocolate and lays in my mouth after a 14 hour workday. Most of my life i ate healthy and went to the gym and ran but these past 8 years kicked my ***. (Dunno if i can say that on here soooo). I’m so glad no one is being judgy(judgee?). Stormsgirl you always say the nicest kindest things thank you as do you Cindy Lou who and frankly all of you. Supergainz i feel like I’m married to you. Your mindset and workout ethic is pretty much like my hubby’s (same otb and tud). Mama Judy, what’s in, Janie (je he sais quois? I lived in France you reminded me of it) and teachertracy thank you. Bubbles my bubbles my funny friend from way under thank you and miss Diana i know you understand but please dont be embarrassed. Our body truly is just a vessel what’s inside is so much more important but we have to honor the body we were given by taking care of it right? Tough to do sometimes with life, stress, self doubt and so on. Diana are you feeling any better? Ive been super concerned for you. If you were in my state i would be holding your hand and pushing your doctors to do more..hopefully, they have you on the right protocol now. Much much much thanks to all of you.🤗🥳🥰😘. Ps. Super how is the kitty cat? 

Great work and you have accomplished so much and thanks for inspiring us all! You go girl and keep rocking it! 

Lol if I can only be that lucky! 😜 your husband is a lucky man. Meow meow is doing good, she hasn’t ripped herself opened again... but she is clingy! She was needy before but atleast she goes in her own exploring the outside. Now she follows me everywhere... and even meows me to go outside with her and when I do she just hangs around me and meows. Maybe she’s still in pain, I’m gonna need to train to be a kitty whisperer  

Girl I hear ya! I got down to my ideal size and gained it all back so I have some loose skin too! I started weight lifting a bunch and that helps a lot but I find derma rolling consistently actually really helps!! You can get rollers that are specifically for your body vs the ones for your face. Could be something to look into if you’d be interested in that :) Any way; You look amazing and I’m super exited for you!! 💕 you’re gorgeous! 🥰 

Silly super!!!its cuz you’re a softy on the inside and she needs extra comfort. She may still be in pain like you said….no more pain meds left? Poor baby. Sounds like you are the kitty whisperer——supergainz Cesar Milan II maybe😂. Evie, IVE met with two plastic surgeons out here it is literally loose skin. Inches and inches. Look great in clothes, less so out of them which is a bummer for my headspace. Ive scheduled skin removal surgery for late July. I posted a pic of my arms on one of my previous journals. Accurate pic. These pics are just blurry for some reason. Maybe because I had to shrink them to get the whole pic in fs frame.
