Hi everyone

It has been a very loooongtime since I have written.  So I will fill you in and get you all upto speed.  As of Dec. 20 I am 6 months out.  I am down 40 lbs, and it is getting a bit difficult.  I am sooooo busy and eating on the fly that times are rough.  I am determined to get back on track for 2009.  I have noticed a difference in my body and all reactions are positive---that is my incentive.  SO... Heres to 09 and keeping on with keeping on....

See you all Soon.

Well it has been a very longtime since I have written.  things have been very busy around here. I have been going going and going some more--but but hit a stall on the weight loss.  I only lost a few pounds this month.  I am a bit disappointed, I am happy that I went down instead of going up....So today I went for yet another fill.  I can feel restriction this time...Last time there was none..Hopefully this will be the spot.

I am def'nly keeping my fingers crossed....

Well here we are.....The fall... There is some much yet to accomplish, and yet i have done so much.  I am very proud of everything that I have done and I have worked very, very hard to get there.

I went back to work and everyone was freaked out....omg look at you...It was a great feeling.  Yet I look in the mirror and I see what is left to do and not necessarily all that I have done.  I know that there is differeces because I have no clothes left--but I still see the fat girl looking back at me...Scary...

Anyway.....I am working on this.  I get compliments all the time and I do feel really good when I get them .  I wish it came from the people that matter.  My parents ,and  my sister,  If it wasn't for my best friend and the people that I work with I wouldwouldn't have that support system at all.

This is all new to me and like I said I am working on it......In the meantime, I am getting ready for the walkathon for the prevention of obesity in children on Saturday October 4th....Can't wait....
See you on the sidewalk.....

It seems like I haven't been here is sooooo long.  I have been sooo busy.  I haven't been faithful to myself with the going to the gym.  This is hard for me.  I was going all the time.  However, my kids have been so busy with school, sports and just regualr everyday things that my gym time got pushed out the door....I have to fix that...I will.

I am however still loosing weight.  I have lost exactly 30lbs on the exact day of my 3rd month out.  I feel great. I have been getting alot of compliments al well and that is just icing on the proverbial cake....

OMG...What a week.  I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.  Bad for chicken, but not too bad if you are exercising and watching what you are eating.  Busy, busy means that there is no time to sit and wonder what one is going to eat...Good for the water intake..Drink and cleaning, drink and getting the kids stuff ready for school, drink while going through my clothes closet....Drink, drink, drink....Thanks goodness for protein bullets.....Anyway I have been going over everyones clothes, finishing all the last minute cleaning jobs that I needed to do, and best of all making good on promises to the kids to take them out one at a time and family goofy golf, lunch and all that fun stuff. 
   As I go back to work on Tuesday, I am trying to organize my time schedule to include everything and anything that the kids and I have to do.  Ex---Skating , hockey, powerfit, the gym, biking and as of Tuesday ---the always dreaded HOMEWORK>>>>>So, since I now have a new bike....I will be able to take a ride to clear my head if I am not able to get to the gym....NO EXCUSES.....

TA TA FOR NOW...

My Story

Hi,  my name is Lisa and I have been over weight my entire life.  Ever since I can remember,  every picture ever taken- there it is me " fat".  It has affected all aspects of my life one way or another,  at one time or another.  I have been called every name in the book from the time I was 8 years old.  I learned to laugh at it, at myself.  Unfortunately, this made me hide and become an emotional eater.  Therefore, I through myself into my schooling, where I couldn't get hurt.  
            I have tried every diet that I heard about, or read about.  Yes, the weight came off long enough for me to get comfortable, loose my edge and then BANG there it was back on and then some.  Yo-yo dieting that was my life.  My weight became my obsession.  All through my high school years, past university.....I disallowed myself to do things or go places because I was an absolute wreck about what I looked like.
            I took me a long time, but I have finally arrived.  I made the decision to get the lap-band after alot of research and heavy conversations with my husband.  I am proud to say that on June 20th,2008- I  will get banded.  I am very excited...
