Yearofhealth2023's Journal, 02 January 2024

O i figured it out! Skinny pictures are from today. Black picture from around October of last year and 194.6 pounds. Bathing suit pic from about 5 years ago and who knows how much i was. Today i am 133.8. Starting weight was 227 on 7/12/23. I didnt record measurements or take pictures till October 2022. Wish i had. Tomorrow i will post the inches changed. Too tired tonight although as of today:

Chest: 34.5”
Waist: 26.5”
Hips: 35.0” (34 3/4 - 35)
Thigh: 22”
Bicep: 10”
Calves: 15”
Weight: 133.8 pounds
Clothes size: 0-2 or 24-25 depending on cut and material.
Shoes: 8.5 (but i prefer 9). Shoes went down a half size with weight loss also.

Keeping in mind i had help from plastic surgeon 7/26/23 via brachiaplasty and tummy tuck. Legs have an awful lot of skin laxity and there is surgical help for that but im done. They are what they are. Evidence of 9 years of lung medication (which im off of now), prednisone weight, ice cream weight, potato chip weight, sugar weight. I must own this. Losing my beautiful M.I.L. On the 30th reinforces in me to take the best care of myself i can (which she did take excellent care of herself). I love my family. I love myself. I want to be here and present and healthy for as long as God allows it. Happy New Year FS family. Thank you for cheering me on, sending prayers and sweet messages. Thank you for listening. Thank you.

Not the most flattering pictures (hubs😂) but for my own documentation purposes will work just fine.

Ejean-you have already lost 100 pounds. It took me 9 or 10 months. By this time next year you will be there!!! Time flies pretty girl. You’re doing great.

What a transformation! Yes, the surgery helped, but first you had to do the work. You're looking fantastic and you are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing.

SHIRFLEUR thank you. I truly hope my journey helps someone .. or many someone’s. It seemed like it was going to slowly and voila its here! Xoxo my Cajun sweet friend.

Year, I've been on this site for 6 months but those first 100 pounds gone took me 3 years to do. Guess what? I'm here in Louisiana(18 years) also. But I'm a native Texan.

Ejean- shirfleur is a Cajun who moved to Texas but is in Louisiana with her son for the moment. What a funny coincidence. I am in Washington state. Listen, if you buckle down you can get to your goal weight by this time next year. You have an absolutely beautiful smile!!!! And if it takes you a bit longer you are still getting healthier and healthier with every step you take! I fought very hard for this recovery and o boy was i pissed off at myself for giving up on myself. If there is anything i can do to help you please dont hesitate to reach out.

That is amazing! So proud of you! You’ve come so far! I see a difference in your demeanor as well. Just goes to show how our physical health is intertwined with our mental/ emotional health💜💜💜

Ejean & YOH, you both have made amazing progress! It took me 4 years to reach my current goal weight....down almost 40 lbs. My accomplishment was not giving up & regaining the weight like I have done countless times before. I've lost hundreds of lbs. over the years. They were just the same 20-30 lbs. over & over 😏

YOH, you look beautiful and healthy ❤️ You have a lot to be proud of!
