Haven't updated in years! WOW
on February 2, 2012 12:10 pm
OK, soooo...haven't been here in years but felt compelled to come back. I'm a little over 5 years out.  My weight got down to 151, but I am back up to 170 and am horrified, I need to get these 20 pounds back off and actually move towards attaining my goal of 135-140. So...I need some help. So I'm back and hoping to gain some support and tips to see what everyone else did to get weight off that snuck back on them.

6 months out

Start Weight: 297
Current Weight: 210.6
Weight Loss Pre-op: 17
Weight Loss Post-op: 69.4
Total Weight Lost: 86.4
Time Since Surgery: 6 months

OK - so I skipped my 5 month update - but to tell you the truth, things have slowed down and I just haven't had anything to report. I have only lost about 11 pounds in 2 months - and about 8 of those were in the last 2 weeks. However, things seem to be moving again. It didn't help that I wasn't following "the rules" like I should have been - but I seem to be back on track again. I am now wearing some 16's. Frankly, if I don't loose another pound - I will be happy with everything overall. I have a picture to update - I'm not sure if it looks much different than the one I took 2 months ago - but oh well.

I have been enjoying some new cothes. I've been picking things that are a lot more "fun".

Am I getting lazy at updating this or what!? Sorry. It might have something to do with a weight-loss stall, so I didn't have much to report. But I think I am over the hump now and started loosing again. I don't have a picture to post just yet, it might just wait until my 5 month check it.

***NEW PICTURE ADDED***

OK - so I didn't post my last weigh in on Friday and I am a week late on my 3 month check-in, but I just haven't been thinking about any of this. Two of my kids and husband have been sick and I've been teetering between being sick and being well. It looks like I am out of the woods though - so I am VERY thankful for that. 

I told my husband that my next goal was to weigh less than him - so you know what he did? Went on a diet! What a turd! He lost a few pounds - and then a few more after getting sick - so it may take me a little longer to make that goal - but I am happy he is getting rid of the weight he wants to. I know he will feel a lot better - and he knows it too. He's going to have to get skinny with me if he plans on keeping up! HA!

I haven't been eatting much the last few days - food just sounded awful. I have eatten 3 eggs so far today so I am off to a good start. I am meeting a friend for lunch - and will eat then too. We are going to Applebees - I think I'll have the teriaki shrimp skewers. 

I cut all my hair off - not ALL, but a lot. It felt good. I almost feel completely free of my last job. It's been quite a transition and I am making good progress re-identifying myself. Once I realized that my identity was mostly defined by my job - I was able to shake it. It actually really pissed me off that I "lost" who I am while working there - the last 4 years anyway. Now I am back to basics. I am more importantanly a mom and a wife, a sister and a daughter, an aunt and a friend. Of course I know that none of these will pay the bills - but after some MAJOR budget changes - I think I could stay home until Sarah enters school (4 more years). We will be broker than broke - but we will have everything we need - and isn't that all that matters? 

I am looking forward to the summer - and will spend a just a "little" money on flowers this spring. The kids and I will keep a garden - it will be a great learning experience for them...and they can learn to help me cook as well.

We will probably do a lot of camping this summer - cheap camping.

Well, I gotta get...

My Story

I was an average sized child until I hit about 10 - then I was a little chubby - may be 15 pounds overweight..but that is when the dieting begain. I started to slim out by age 12 and was a healthy weight for a couple years...then moved in with my grandma for a year and lived on her carmel rolls - not good. I got chubby again and stayed that way until I moved back with my mom at age 15..

I then went on my first serious diet and lost the extra 45 pounds...with the help of an eatting disorder (Bulimia). I kept it off for a couple of years - but gained a lot with my first pregnancy. I was able to lose it all after his birth and settled at 140-150 pounds until I hit age 23 - then I started going up a bit more - around 170 - then I went up even more and was about 200 at age 25. I went on another diet (mind you there were many diet attempts in between too - I'm really only mentioning the successful ones) and lot about 30 pounds and suddenly got pregnant again and put the weight right back on...plus more.

I finally decided to lose the weight on started Weight Watchers and lost 85 pounds. I was down to 150 - but the Bulimia surfaced again. It took me about 2 years to "let it go" again...and I had 2 more pregnancies with lost of gaining - I finally topped off at 295 at 34 years old. I lost 15 pounds pre-op - so was 280 at surgery. My goal will probably change every day - but it would be nice to get back to 140ish again. Not sure it will happen - I'm a big girl to begin with - big norske bones.
