It's been quite a while. Why? I have been out and about and living life of course! It's been 3 yrs (YAY!) and a yo yo with the losing. My hubby and I have reconciled (YAY!) and well, I am in a good place.

I have dropped off in ALOT of areas. The main one being, yes you got it, EXERCISE!!! I was doing so well and somewhere last summer, I went from everyday to every other day to twice a week...well you get it. So now my challenge is getting back on a schedule. I have worked out but its just not daily like I was in the beginning. I can say that working out early in the process really did help though. I can tell that even now when I workout, I still have the urge to jog...even though its been months. I still don't get winded as easily, I still can lift weights. I just need to GET ON A ROUTINE!!!  Well atleast I know. LOL

As for eating, oh boy...where do I begin. Well, I can surely eat more than a cup of food that's for sure and I have gained...first 5, then 10, then 15, then 20 lbs...yes TWENTY lbs but you know, I look at this gain and I'm thankful because even with gaining, all in all I STILL have lost over 100 lbs!!! woohooo I am no longer my weight and food is not my main focus in life. Thank you God..I really am thankful. The best part is I have my tool which can be filled, my pouch made smaller and I can always go back to the basics that I learned in the beginning.

I also have never gone to a support group...that's something else that I am going to incorporate into my life.

So I am going to try to keep my blog updated more and who knows, maybe it will assist in getting me back on track. I'm hopeful and thank God...I'm happy

See you soon...

Well parting is such sweet sorrow as they say. I have lost both 125 lbs this year and my husband has decided to up and leave. One brings me deep regret but the other, so much joy. It's been a tough year OH fam! I am happy with setting a goal and meeting it. My goal was 245 but I have surpassed that and I am happy about it. So although one area of my life seems to be a mess, there is a bright side. My husband and I have been apart since March and have had many, many excuses as to why but in the end, I put all of my trust in God and know that He will take care of it all. Without my faith, I have nothing!

I hope that everyone is doing well...don't worry, I am doing great, I feel great and I look AWESOME! LOL...got to keep yourself motivated and lifted up. If you wait for someone else to do it, you will die waiting. :)

You know that saying when one door closes, another opens? Well I believe that God is doing this for a reason. He knows that I want a baby, am close to 40 and He knows my heart and... well just wait to see what 2010 brings! Will keep you all posted...

Love you all,
Fonda

This is almost scary all...I am dropping weight at a faster rate than when I first got the surgery. I have had another surgery as mentioned earlier and I think it may be the boost that I needed. I am excited about what I am experiencing but I do have a little problem with the loose skin. So back to the gym I go. I have to admit I dropped WAY off the bandwagon where working out is concerned but I know it happens. All I have to do is get back to it....So just wanted to post a few lines to let you all know what is going on and to hopefully motivate someone just starting out. IT WORKS ALL!!!!! :)

God bless you and yours

WOW, where did time go? I am so excited. Today I got on the scale and it read 257. I can honestly say this surgery works and I tell any and everyone that I would not trade it for anything. I feel so much better. I have shed OVER 100 LBS!!!! Say what. I am excited about losing this last 12 lbs. My goal is 245 and at the rate I am going, that will more than likely be achieved before the end of the summer. I am also willing to bet that I might lose more.

A few changes that I have noticed are...my knees no longer hurt - even when I wear heels and walk up stairs, My backaches are gone, my side used to hurt all the time...that is now gone, my breasts are much smaller but are perfectly sized to me (LOL) - I am gone down several bra sizes and dress sizes, I am a size 18 down from a 26, I breath with ease, my skin is clear (probably all the bad food I was putting in), sex is off the chain! ('nuf said), my husband can get his arms all the way around me, and the big kicker...I went home to VA and there were several people that had no idea who I was!!!

If you are considering the surgery and have any doubts let me tell you....GO FOR IT and never, ever look back. It really works and I would not change my decision for all the bread, sugar, candy or fried chicken in the world. I have had my slips and I have fallen PLENTY of times but I got back up, got on the saddle and kept riding. YOU CAN DO THIS!

God bless

I know it 's been quite a while but much going on these days. Here is a quick update: I finally hit 100 lbs lost from my highest weight of 365 (I was 350 at surgery) . I am now 259 and I feel great! My knees don't hurt, I can BREATHE, my backaches are gone, of course we have heard the period story long ago  LOL,  my inner thighs (although they still rub) are nowhere near as chaffed as they used to be, I am down to a size 18 pushing down on a 16 (down from a 26!) and I am just plain long happy with where I am at this point. YES I AM!!!

I recently had to have surgery (5/12) to remove a mass from my pelvic region and my left ovary and fallopian tube was also removed. I praise God because He is preparing me for a baby..OH YES HE IS!   During this process I got very sick from the anesthesia and could keep nothing down. So what did I do? I dropped 15 lbs in no time flat!. Then there was the liquid diet (we have all been there and done that...I had to do it AGAIN) and not having a desire to eat that bought the rest off. I am really happy with my results thus far and I think that by the time I return to work on 6/29, I will probably be down to 250. It seems that I am losing at a speed faster than when I first began the journey. WOW...anyway. I hope that all is well in your world and will check in very soon.

Peace and blessings!
