Well I went to the Dr. on Wednesday for my my almost 6 month update, and I am down to 214 lbs. So in total that is 84 lbs lost forever. I am very satifsfied thus far with my results, although that evil demon the loose skin is rearing its ugly head, but I guess we can't have it all. I feel great and I am getting compliments all around. One of my co-workers even tells me that when we leave on Fridays and come back on Monday she can tell a difference just over the weekends. That is amazing to hear. I am 16 lbs away from a total loss of my 1st 100lbs, and 14lbs away from being out of the 200's. I am so excited!!!!! To be able to say I am in 1-derland will feel so great!!!! I can't wait. Anyway, just wanted to post my progress. Love yall!!

WELL AS OF THIS MORNING WHEN I WEIGHED MYSELF I AM AT 230.2. THAT IS 68LBS GONE AND I AM LOVING IT. I NOTICE MY CLOTHES CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER AND BIGGER. AWESOME!!!!   I CANNOT BELIEVE HAT AT THIS STAGE OF 3 MTHS SINCE SURGERY I FEEL THIS GREAT ABOUT MYSELF AND IT'S JUST GOING TO TO GET THAT MUCH BETTER. HOW WONDERFUL THIS DECISION WAS FOR ME. DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BIGGEST I HAVE EVER MADE. I AM TRYING MY BEST NOT TO CONSTANTLY BUY CLOTHES, BUT IT IS SO EXCITING TO BUY SOMETHING IN SMALLER SIZES!! KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS!! I LOVE YALL MY OH FAMILY!!!

I TRY SO HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW I FEEL ABOUT MY BODY TAKING ON THIS TRANSFORMATION, BUT IT IS SO DIFFICULT. I FEEL GREAT AND I AM LOVING WHEN PEOPLE ARE TAKEN ABACK AT HOW I AM CHANGING. INSTEAD OF LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND FEELING DEPRESSED I JUST SAY "i'LL GET THERE". TO SEE MY REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR NOW, MY FACE IS SO MUCH SMALLER, THE CLOTHES IN MY CLOSET THAT WERE WAY TOO SMALL, ARE NOW TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ARE FALLING OFF ME AS WELL. THAT IS A WONDERFUL FEELING. WELL I DONT HAVE MUCH TO REPORT, JUST WANTED TO POST. I AM DOWN TO 241PER MY SCALE, SO THATS 57 LBS GONE, BUT MY DR'S SCALE READS ME AT 4LBS LESS THAN MY SCALE DOES, BUT I WILL STICK TO WHAT MINE SAYS BECAUSE THATS THE ONE THAT GETS THE MOST ATTENTION. LOL!! ANYHOW STAY UP AND MUCH LOVE PEOPLE. 

WELL TODAY I HAD MY 6 WEEK POST OP APPT WITH DR. CAPEHART. SHE SAYS I AM DOING WELL. I AM OFFICIALLY 50LBS DOWN. I WEIGHED IN AT 248 IN HER OFFICE TODAY, I WAS 298 IN THE BEGINNING!!! I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD A SMALL STALL OR 2, I THINK I AM RIGHT ON TRACK OF WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE. PRAISE GOD!! I JUST WANT TO DO EVERYTHING. I NO LONGER FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO DIE AT 12 NOON WHEN IM AT WORK BECAUSE I AM SO TIRED. SHE TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE OF MY SHORT STATURE THAT SHE ANTICIPATES THAT I WILL LOSE A PRETTY GOOD AMOUNT OF WEIGHT. AS OF TODAY I HAVE LOST 1/3 OF THE TOTAL WEIGHT I NEED TO LOSE. THAT'S AMAZING IN JUST 6 WEEKS. I SAW MY FRIEND ADRIENNE TODAY AT DR C.'S OFFICE AND YALL SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!!!!! I HAD SEEN PICS OF HER, BUT TO SEE HER IN PERSON AFTER ALL THESE YEARS WAS AMAZING. I CAN'T WAIT TILL I CAN LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND LOOK THAT GOOD TOO. I'M SO PROUD OF MY GIRL SHE IS DOING HER THING!!! GON ADRIENNE!!!!!!!! THE ONLY THING I THINK I HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IS MY SHOULDER HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS, HAS ABSOLUTEY NOTHING TO DO WITH MY SURGERY, BUT IT KILLS ME ALL DAY LONG AT WORK FOR SOME REASON. I'LL ASK MY PCP ABOUT THAT TOMORROW. ANYHOW I JUST WANTED TO POST AND LET YALL KNOW HOW I'M DOIN AND FEELING!! OH YEAH, I WAS WEARING A 28-30W PRIOR TO SURGERY AND MY CLOTHES HAVE BEEN FALLING OFF ME LATELY SO I WENT TO BUY A SHIRT AND THE SIZE THAT FITS NOW IS THE 22W. IM COMIN ON DOWN YALL!! MY HUSBAND GIVES ME COMPLIMENTS EVERYDAY, BUT I KNOW THAT HE LOVED ME REGARDLESS OF MY SIZE, BUT THIS AINT ABOUT THAT. IT'S ABOUT ME ENSURING THAT I LIVE LONGER AND CAN ENJOY MY LIFE. PRAY FOR MY STRENGTH YALL. PEACE AND LOVE..

Well this week I am down 44lbs. I have lots of energy and as my friend says a whole lot of extra pep in my step. This past Saturday I went out with some friends on a friends boat. It was quite cold, but very relaxing. It feels really good to hear friends who haven't seen me since I was in the hospital to tell me the very noticeable change they see in me. I still don't quite see it yet, but I can tell in my clothes. The jeans and t-shirt I have on today are constantly falling off me of me today. Everyone at work has told me my outfit is much too big for me. True and very good to hear, I just dont want to buy any new clothes just yet. I feel amazing!! I cheated the other day and had some Cheez-it crackers and I cant express how awful I felt about it. It was my 1st time cheating on the diet and I felt horrible all day, not physically, but emotionally because I knew better. I am right back on it though. Sticking to the diet and I have also started walking after work and walking the flights of stairs to get in some exercise during the day. Trying my best to drink alot of water, I'll get thru it. Me and my friend are going to do the 5day pouch test diet starting Monday, for those of you who are curious check it out 5daypouchtest.com, sounds very interesting. We shall see. Anyhow, just wanted to update and vent a little.
