[sanddevillover]

hey plz tell me wht was ur technique pleeez lol

[FRAJAHEHI]

maybe you're already skinny by now but if it helps just avoid carbs (pastries,pastas,corn,potato,e­tc.) it's the way i did it and it's not even a diest it is a habit change and its so easy. good luck!

[sanddevillover]

ok but when u cut carbs out ur also cutting abunch of energy

[ali55a]

YOU'RE STUNNING!

[chrmar02]

hey good luck to you im also have alota weight to lose so i also posted a video on you tube about my journey

[WeightWise]

What type of procedure did you have? I saw that your photos said "Pre-Op" and "Post-Op". I hope your still on track with your weight loss goals. You look great, I'm sure your very pleased with your progress.

[soon2bmommy]

I had gastric bypass RNY. It was one of the best choices I have ever made. I feel so good and am so healthy now. I can play with my kids and ride horses. I weighed almost 300 before surgery and I weigh 135 now. Life is good!!!

[sublimefan5446]

im glad you did this...its nice to see people of all shapes and sizes...you have a great body.

I have a video I made for a survey i am doing...shoing different sizes of woman from thin to BBW (very big) and I want ppl to comment on what they think is pretty....to prove the streotype that only skinny woman are pretty is wrong!

[kaylarae007]

How did you do that! I need to lose alot of weight!

[shildapark]

wow!!! u r so great!

i want to loss 30 kg... can u give me any tips?

[emberdagon]

wow great job. watch out because your stomach will eventually restretch and you will have to be careful

[masonar]

omg girl! great job. i wish i could do that.. its so hard. your so gorgeous!

[wherescaedo]

oh, common. she didn't do anything hardly. she just got a quick-fix surgery. fuck that. yes, it is so hard... when you actually work to lose the weight. wtf.

[soon2bmommy]

It was by far a quick fix! I work everyday to make sure the weight stays off, you must need to get some information about the surgery!

[baniejo]

mellisa you kick ass..... great job..... if i was a guy id be all over you... the world needs more people with your will power

great job

[wendypan1]

Pillowchii obviously has never had a weight problem. Congratulations on your weight loss...you look fantastic. You are a great inpiration, thankyou and best wishes. Wendy, Tasmania, Australia.

[Pillowchii]

:/ I'm proud of you sweetie, but I worry that this might convince others to get what could be a dangerous procedure when they really don't have to. Also, WHAT is the deal with the large gap in the middle of the video? I'm not gonna wait through a minute and a half of blackness just to see your skinny ass.

[deannadmoses]

You look good, but why resort to a life threatening surgery when you weren't that big to start with? That's just lazy.

[Jibbie49]

Being lazy is the reason fat people got this way in the first place. Just be glad she lost the weight, since she is so beautiful and needs to be healthy for her child's sake.

[alexplevell1990]

ugly, old, fat...you were...now you are pretty, young, skinny...wow, great job

[ShrinkingSara]

Oh yes, alexplevell1990, she was old before but now she's young. Wow, you're bright...

[Soncan]

I think making a video of your weight loss was an amazing idea...a great way to remember this big change in your life. Good for you!

[k1tson]

well done, wish i could get the strenth to lose my extra 5 stone i have

[teenlover]

OMG you are my new inspiration!

[uffyehdil]

HOWW did you do it

[soon2bmommy]

I had gastric bypass surgery

[briarrose88]

you look incredible!!

[agathanas]

I think you look 30 years younger, not just 15 years! Well done. Now, please don't be angry with all those assholes who mistreated you when/because you were fat in the past--just "love them from a distance."

[SquirrelTales]

You look great, as well as the weight loss you look about 15yrs younger :)

[dani416]

wow that was such a tranformation, good job, your dedication was amazing!

[isabelladonna]

[mrbarister]

RT

[acousticdebs]

you should be so proud

[xLacey]

Wow, was it hard? I hope to do the same.

[videos11213]

i am hungry

[gennel1969]

You look like a totally different person! My sister had this surgery and I just want to say that anyone who thinks this is an easy way out,you don't know what the hell you're talking about! You still have to diet and exercise if you want these types of results.The gastric bypass is simply a tool to help.

[Rashisha]

Wow You Are Amazig very inspiring how did you do it

[soon2bmommy]

I had gastric bypass surgery.

[cologneprince]

wow

[LongForgotten]

wow... good job.

you got your life back.

[salsha68]

Hi Melissa

Great video and great results!!!! I am due to have surgery for weight loss in March/April 2007 and to say I am excited but anxious at the same time would be an understatement. To see the end results on this video have really helped me and make me concentrate on the end results which I know will make a difference to my life. You look amazing and should be very proud of your achievements....Love Jane!!!!

[munchkin3000]

you look like a completely different person!

[LovelySteph]

Wow, you look amazing! Congratulations!

[gitte445]

congratulations!! :)

[jaded80]

great job

[canvoodoo]

[Pacifier8008]

AWESOME. =D My mom is kinda overweight,and she really hates it, but she's not motivated to do anything about it.... i work out almost daily and ive been trying to get her into it, but its not working. This video might, though! =D Thankies!

[cathyhaynes]

Fanstastic. Good on you! Very inspirational

[freecourtney]

That's so amazing. Congratulations, you look phenomenal.

[cuppycake666]

very inspirational. about made me cry.

[Yanipooh]

wow u look a lot younger and u must feel more confident. I am 19 and around 180 so i know how it must have felt for you pre op. Keep it up

[ricemilk2]

I loved the video. How did you do it? I had a TAH/BSO last summer and have been gaining weight ever since. Nothing seems to help. Advice?

[soon2bmommy]

I had Gastric Bypass RNY...

[guille990123]

how much weight did you lose?

[cherished1961uk]

wow you look great

[scrumsrus]

Well done.

[ar15skrilla]

Absolutely amazing... an inspiration to all!

[sisterfister55]

Oh wow! You look fantastic! The change is amazing! You're so beautiful.

Thanks for including the dates. A good reminder that significant weight loss takes time and patience. I can't imagine how great you must feel and happy you must be.

[brandy2374]

AMAZING!!!!

[Guppybus]

it says in the video!

[sitnwatch]

Your amazing! Out of interest... Did you have lap band or gastric bypass surgery?

[MegRon4]

WOw!!!

[Spankztah]

WOW!! congrats! good on ya.

[zephyr294]

Wow, you are an inspiration!

[ModernRomance666]

thats amazing! you look fabulous! whats your secret?

[umassbluangel]

You look fantastic.

This gives me so much inspiration

[soon2bmommy]

I have added a new and improved video with many new pictures of me over the past year and a half. I hope you all enjoy it is well.

[GenghisJohn2005]

I'm assuming when you said "surgery" that you were refering to either gastric bypass or lap band....did you have the trouble, that so many people have, of the extra skin?

[sexysensation]

Excellent - You Go Girl :)

[atownbirdman]

Oh wow, you are an inspiration to a lot of people!

[geetahshreda]

HOLY S*** AMAZING

[jwbrown1969]

Awesome, you can't tell but I am clapping my hands in admiration for you between keystrokes.

[thebigpicture3]

Wonderful progress! Bravo! You look fabulous! :)

[coastlinehb]

Great Job, inspiration for those of us (me) who are battleing it. Kudos to you!

[kaleeena]

Congratulations. :)

[saltandpepper]

OMG well done!!! You look SO much younger!!!

WOW, an inspiration to many x

[MICHELLEINVA1977]

YOU LOOK AWESOME!

[stephb]

Well done! You have transformed! You should be very proud of yourself :-)

[Licorice1977]

I think I need to go under some kind of surgery!

[moali68]

The truth is that it all boils down to self control. I realize that many people struggle with this and end up undergoing such extreem measures such as gastroc bypass surgery which has a (1 / 100 or 10/1000 or 100/ 10,000 death rate) but it really is as simple as counting the calories you put into your body and subtracting the calories that you burn with everyday activity. 1 + 1 = 2 etc. And I'm not trying to be mean by saying such things, it really is the truth.

[soon2bmommy]

Thanks everyone for all the sweet comments. I am still at my goal weight, and maintaining it. I love the new me.

Moali68, yes going under the knife can be scary, but there is alot more involved, and I was on supervised diets before they even considered me to have my surgery!

[finniksa]

You look great Melissa. (Is the video blank after 1:16 or so because I don't see anything more..)

[gingerpixel]

That's amazing...it's like seeing a new person emerge. You look great, well done.

[nycbrooklyn]

Congratulations and the song went well with the photo progress.

[uglyfatlady]

That's so strange that people who had the surgery did NOT lose weight. I guess all we hear on the news are the success stories.

I'm trying to do it myself through diet and exercise.

And Melissa, you look great!

[allthingsartist]

So proud of you for losing the weight. the surgery you had helped but the credit goes to you as i have met some who have had weigh loss surgery done and stll did not lose the weight.

[nellah63]

thats awesome!!! very happy for you!

[cundallthepieman]

well done

[massagewala]

Inspirational. Welldone Melissa.

[moali68]

It is really quite scary the fact that so many people must go under the blade just because of the simple fact that they cant stop themselves from stuffing more and more food in their mouth.

[finniksa]

Moali68 you have no idea what you're talking about... So be quiet.

[Clonedsheep]

Actually, he is not. Maybe not on Melissa's case, I dont know. But losing weight is like saving money. DOnt eat more than you burn. At least, generally speaking.

[CassieDynomite]

Thats good i'm happy for you.

[albert2sick]

[Flipgerl190]

**mistake**

I ment to say, "I don't mean to be nosy.."

haha sorry that was bothering me so I just had to correct myself!

[Flipgerl190]

GREAT JOB!

I was just wondering...when you lose all that weight so fast, does your skin begin to sag or does it snap back? I don't need to be nosy, I'm just dying to know because thats one of my fears...is to sag after I lose weight.

Again, amazing job! your unbelievable! :D

[allthingsartist]

If you are Canadian and have had a c section for child birth OHIP will pay for a tummy tuck but I recomend losing the weigh on your own first. you will be out of pocket about $1000.00

[Azazayle]

Absolutly inspiring

[lansell182]

SUCH A PRETTY FACE!

[oicu812me2cya]

nice video, i am trying to do the same thing...

[hollygoheavily]

Hi Melissa :) I so enjoyed watching your transformation, hon. Beautiful video and I hope you are enjoying your new life!

[xxsummertearsxx]

WOW!!! You did really well. I'm losing weight by taking karate. It's taking a while but working. This inspires me so thanks!

[TomStormcrowe]

Outstanding!~ I also had the lap procedure, and havew dropped 340 pounds in the last year!
