on June 13, 2010 4:21 pm
I am almost down 20 pounds since my husband left...3 pounds away!!!  I am almost at 160 pounds!!!  When I get to 160 I will be 30 pounds away from losing 100 pounds since my surgery date!!  im so excited and happy with the slow process of losing I dont have much loose skin at all,...which I was worried about.  So I get to see him in 4 days and  it will be 2.5 months since I seen him last!! I bet he will be all buff and hot!! so I wanted to lose more weight take it seriously and get to an ideal weight and be all hot for him too!!! from the army wives I have been around, they tend to gain weight as their men are gone...so it will be a great suprise for him to see that I have lost lots! Im so excited for it!! cant wait to update u on my 30 more pounds lost later on!!

take care all!

april 2010

april is when my husband leaves for basic training, and april is when I will start my eating healthy diet and full on excercise plan... I figure I can use him being gone to my advantage and use that to motivate me, cuz I want to suprise him when I go to see him on his graduation day, and him not recognize me!! I want to drop 50 pounds in 5-6 months, I doubt this is possible, but I thought if I aim high!! then I can be happy losing whatever I lose.  My son is 8 months old now, he keeps me very busy and then with work.  I also plan on going back to school here soon like it starts in april too.  So, I will have a complete full plate...speaking of plates, I just recently got refilled, and its been a year since I had been filled last, I am so experiencing extreme hunger all the freaking time!! I want food constantly, and since I havent been making the wisest of choices ( at all...) then its really hard to keep my weight going down, so I am getting quite frustrated with that.  I wonder if anyone else experienced this, I guess maybe I am thirsty and am taking it as hunger? I dunno, all I know is, I eat bad, and dont drink enough water, I rarely get a good nights rest from my insomnia, so I am constantly wore out...

I am hoping with the good diet, eating right, and drinking water, and working out a lot!! that I will actually improve my sleep quality, not to mention I will have excellent healthcare in april as well, so I can be on axiety meds, and maybe help in that way too.  so much stuff could be hindering both my sleep and weight loss issues. 

well I hope for the best!! 

thanks for reading

much needed update!!!
on September 28, 2009 10:57 pm

so, where to begin...I have a beautiful 3 month old son...and I weigh 176....still need to drop another 20-30 pounds to be happy with myself but I am doing great!  Back in Illinois for the time being til we can save up money to move back to california again, but working at mastercuts again, and being super mom!! I hope to lose this weight so I can continue to feel content with my body, I love losing that weight, and I can hardly keep my pants on!! literally!! they fall down all the time, I for the first time realized from a friends suggestion that I should buy a belt!! WTF!! a belt really...I have never needed one before so it never crossed my mind! LOL!

anyhow that is a short update but and update nonetheless!! hope all are well and still all losing weight!!

update
on January 11, 2009 2:50 pm
I have my first ultrasound this wednesday, they said by the size of my uterus I am probably around 4 months or so, so I have to wait until the ultra sound to find out exactly.  I am doing alright, I keep losing weight while pregnant, I am afraid the doctors will be all worried about me for losing so much weight while pregnant.  I mean in the last 4 months that I have been pregnant I have lost the most weight.  And I haven't had a fill in a couple of months, so its not that...I have been eating a lot less junk though, so maybe that has added to it a lot, and the fact that the baby is sucking all the food from me maybe that's it? I don't know...

I guess that is all for now, I will update again in a few days to let everyone know how far along I am for sure, and everything!!

thanks to all and hope my dear friend madonna starts getting better luck with her band, hopefully the doctors can figure out what is going on!!! and get her back on track! so I will keep her in my prayers!!  take care!!

got under 200!!
on November 28, 2008 8:24 pm
got to my first goal...199.  But come to find out I got a baby on board.  So all my fills are post-poned until further notce.  I continue to lose weight though in my pregnant state.  morning sickness and all....but, I still don't eat nearly as much as I use to.  I do need to practice more drinkin water!!! its really hard to though!! So use to drinkin loads of milk! and tea...and occasionally soda pop, so I gotta fit more juice and water in there.  This baby is really picky about what I eat that is for sure. 

Not sure how far a long I am as I had issues a couple months ago keeping food down from now chewing good enough, so not sure when I started having morning sickness or just stomach digestive issues.

I will keep all posted!! and also I have internet again!! so welcome one and all messages!!

My Story

so I have the basic same story as everyone else!  not much different.  I have consistantly gained weight since I was around 12.  Now I weight 230 pounds.  The most I have ever weighed...and I hate it! I was very active in my childhood and in highschool going to the ymca swimming and working out a lot! and consistantly gaining weight! now I am a member at curves and am waiting til I get my surgery to start up again...it seems like no point to do it I can't lose the weight.  I have done all the diets u can think of weight watchers, nutrisystem, pills, actually eating healthy, the works I have done it all and cannot lose the weight.  So this is my last resort....hopefully the start of a new beginning in my life!  oh to be thin...and be able to fit into clothes and not trying to sqeeze into them!! that is my goal!  I don't care if I just lose 30 pounds or so...I just want to fit into the clothes that I HAVE!!

I am a cosmetologist! and love doing hair more than anything!  hard being on my feet all day back hurts all the time....and my wrists from the weight of my arms!! I weigh too much to be doin hair I THINK anyways! if I were thin doing hair I betcha I'd make better tips too!! sorry to say but definately true! 

I am 5'2 and a half

I weight 230 pounds

BMI is 49.7%

that is my story for now and I am stickin to it!
