 |  size 26 to a 10 Pics
Heres a couple of pics of me at my very heighest of 315 and one today at 170.. Sizes tight 26 down to a 10..
I thought I was at goal but now I kind of think maybe I need to loose another 10-15 pounds though. 
I like the difference but think I can do better? 
If you cant tell, Im struggling with body image again.

I am so bad at this..lol
I think you are adorable in both pics.
I am 5-8 and was at 162 at my lowest, but have come up to 168 with hormones. (considering getting rid of those. boo)
How do you FEEL? You look fantabulous, and your arms look totally OK for sleeveless cami's. I think if you stay with the rules, you will naturally drop a couple more pounds. But as we go farther out from the surgery, we can tolerate so much more, in volume as well as in variety.

You look fabulous. Thanks for sharing the pics. I am sure that I will deal with the same issues. We are pretty close for starting weights. My highest recorded weight was 299 but I am a tad shorter than you are and have lost height as I have gotten older.
I hope I look as good as you do when I get to 170. My surgeon has set my goal at appx. 150 - BMI of 25.I don't think I have weight 150 since before I had my oldest daughter who in law school and expecting her own baby...so being full circle I think it is my time to get back down to my post high school weight.
You really do look Awesome!!

Thanks every one.... Im hoping to loose a few more.. but I have to come to realize that I really dont have any control over it at this point still. If my body wants to loose while Im eatting rite .. it does.. and then still while Im eatting rite it will stand still for what seems like for ever and not budge! Nothing change on my in put/ exercision part in either situation.
I still get sick on things and I can eat more now then before, but for some reason Im back to not wanting to eat again. Part of it is I DO NOT WANT TO CHANCE GAINING!!! I eat because I have to... not because I want to... I often dont even feel hungery untill I actually start eatting and then my poutch wakes up and says.. oh look... shes feeding us!
Thanks again for the support and I hope that seeing my pics can give some one the strength to move forward and gain control over their life like I have.

4Kate, it did. I finally called my brother and told him about my upcoming surgery. He and his wife have always had a negative opinion of what I and others have done. Even though I had my children much earlier they were always telling me what I did wrong etc. However, with one in her last year of law school on scholarship and the other a Senior in Fashion design, I think I did pretty well.
Actually, I wasn't going to tell them at all, but my SIL works at the billing office for the anesthesiologists office so had a 50/50 chance of having the bill cross her desk (I couldn't be lucky enough to be in the other 50%).
Actually, my mother and my brother have had some heart to heart discussions on his opinions pertaining to her and her time and money so he has had a pretty good dressing down.
I was very surprised, he didn't say anything negative. Seemed surprised that I was doing this and pretty clueless about the surgery which I chose to leave that way.
But, considering I had been planning on letting my mom tell him, I did take control and called and let him know. (My original idea was to send a txt msg on the way to the hospital and turn off my phone)
Thanks!!

YOU look wonderful. Nice arms and you look hot in those jeans! I agree with the others. Just let your body do what it wants for a while. See what happens
