Hello OH Fam, it's been a minute since I last blogged.  Like many of my looser friends once you start losing weight on this journey a new world opens up.  You start living again.  Prior to my surgery I did not have the interest or motivation to do allot of things.  However, since my WLS I am LIVING again.  My current weight is 193 which is not a huge difference from my last blog entry.  I have seen that I have lost inches.  I am about a size 10-12 and be live it or not I own some 8's and 9's which is really cool.  I have turned in to a Shop - A- Holic.  OMG I love to shop but I have to stay in control so I dont get myself into financial trouble.  Seriously, seriously.  Any who My doc would like for me to get down to about 140 and I am not sure that I want to be that small.  I have followed many OH looser who have gone from being a size 26 to a 3 or a size 4.  But I feel comfortable at size  10 - 12 but is it because I am used to being overweight. Initially I wanted to be a size 12 but as I said I own 8's 9's and 10's.  I have slightly altered my goal and would be happy in a size 9 goal weight 180.  Still deciding. 
I have about 4 more months before my 1 year anniversary and by then I would like to be 180.  So Stay Tuned

Since my last post things have started to move again.  I have lost a couple of more pounds feeling good about that.  I have also started to work out more.   Right now I am about a size 12 and I have been able believe it or not been able to fit into a few 9/10's.   I'm feeling fab.  Like many have said this is an interesting journey.  Since my weight loss I have heard things that I have never in my life heard.  One gentleman who would like to date me (the feeling is not mutual on my part)said "If yo loose anymore weight you will be to skinny for me"  I have never heard that in my life.  A good friend (good friend so I was not offended) said "You look like you are on a starvation diet".  A family member said Please don't loose another pound.  I'm thinking who are they talking to?  Me?  Weird.... 

Any who despite what they say I would like to loose another 10 - 14lbs and I will see what that look and feel like.  Til we chat again keep on being a looser.

PIX to come soon

Well it's be a about a week and a half since my last post and I'm sad to say that I have not lost a pound.  I have not gained any am happy about that.  I have started to increase my workouts again despite the heat wave.  Today I am wearing a size eight skirt.  Did you hear me I said I am wearing a size eight skirt.  OK so it's from the Gap and it is stretch but it is a size 8.  I cant remember the last time a fit a size 8 anything.  Any who I have 4 more months until 1 year anniversary.  I would like to loose another 20 to 25 pounds by then. 

Current weight: 199

So I have not been on OB for about 6 weeks.  And I think that its time for me to get reconnected because I have feel off the wagon and lost my dam mind.  First off all I have gone back to my old habits like eating chips and chocolate. (Scream and yell at me please I need it) I have not been weighing and measuring my food.  And I have let sugar enter my body more than I should have.  Hence I have lost my Dam mind.  Have I gained weight you ask? No I have not gained but I have not lost either.  Today I am 197.  O.K.  so I am still in a size 12 and I am still working out but not like I was and not like I should.  So I am not happy with my food choices.  Today is July 1, 2010 and I am re dedicating  myself to my health goals.  The reason that I chose this road.  

To my OH friends I am calling on you to check in with me and encourage me to help me find my focus.  I would like to loose another 20lbs by December 2010. 

To hold myself accountable (because this works for me) I an listing my goals.  I will check in on Aug 1, 2010 

My New Goals
1.  Post to OH weekely.  OH fam keeps me grounded, focused and it reminds me of why I started this journey
2.  Work out on my Treadmill 5x per week for 1 hour, Attend Zumba 1x per wk, Attend weight lifting class 2x per wk
3. Weight, measure, write down (IDK about this one) what I eat.

Today I am 200 lbs.  I am loving the transformation.  So much has changed since the start of this journey.  I am enjoying life so much more.  I find shopping fun again and problematic.  You see I used to be a shopaholic but as I gained weight I lost an interest in shopping.  Well gone are those days.  But..GF has got to get a hold of herself.  I am going crazy.  I have been shopping like a dam fool.  Im about a size 12 - 14 depends on what it is.  I would like to lose about 10 - 15 more lbs.  My doc wants me to loose another 30lbs but I'm not going for that.  10 - 15 more lbs will put me at about a size 9 10 which is fine with me.  I am very happy.
