I started out at a whopping 323lbs (which does not count "baby weight"). And after about a year and a half I'm now at 153!!! That's 170 lbs GONE. Almost mind blowing. Several months ago I did a post you can see it HERE. But I'm proud to say I'm done, and now just focusing on staying healthy and maintaining what I have accomplished! Here are some Before and After pictures of me!
The person I think I have to thank the most is my husband Darren. NEVER once did he call me fat, never once did he find me unattractive, never once did he not say I love you every day. He has loved me and somehow found me attractive through it all. He is amazing and I love him dearly. He has been so supportive and kind through this all. I treasure him and his love for me regardless of how I look/looked. He truly loves me through "thick and thin" and I'll always cherish him for it!
Now prepare yourself for some mind blowing pics! I still can't believe I was ever this big! But it's okay. I love me and all I was going through and am proud I've learned to overcome and not turn to food for love, comfort, etc.....
BEFORE:
AFTER:
I saved only 1 pair of pants. Size 28! Now I'm in a size 8!
Yep, both legs fit into one leg of the pants.
Good bye forever pants!
Here is a chart I made and kept it up through the whole thing! I think I'll keep this thing forever! Oh, and I never made it to my "goal" that I had selected so long ago. But I think where I'm at is good. I haven't lost weight in over a month and a half and this is where my body is happy. Being 5'11" I don't think I need to get to 150 to be happy! ;)
And that's all she wrote!
Thank you everyone for your love and support and kind words! I really appreciate it! Loves!

My dearest Robin, what a great accomplishment. Thank you for sharing with words and pictures.
God had been with you through each step of your journey, just as your tennis shoes have, they are worn out, but God is always there.
You are a wonderful example of faith, preserverance and endurance. I'm so thankful for the love and peace that you give me. You are so very special to me.
I love you and miss you. You are a beautiful example of a talented and wonderful daughter, mother, wife and sister.
I'm always here for you. I love you with all my heart. Love you, Mom

Robin -
You ROCK!!!! I am so excited for you! Now I have to get my last 10 off to keep up! I especially love that you found a new set point, which was different than your original goal, but you know yourself enough to know where you are happy - you are the textbook version of doing everything right!!
