WOW so 3 yr mark already!
on January 26, 2012 6:48 pm
I cant believe I made my 3 yr mark geees it's come and gone. Im only a  month late so not too bad updating this time. Well Im betw 139-142. Im fluctuating at this point, and let Aunt Flo come then im up to 147lbs YIKES!!! But Im watching it so I cannot let myself get to 150 otherwise its gonna be too easy to get back to the 200's. Come hell or high water im not getting back big. EVER! Im happy that im not getting too big but I'd love to get back to 130 or less again. Although I was sick and going through alot when I got that small I still have it as a goal. Hope all is well with any and everyone who gets to read this. Im so poud of myself for getting this far and being able to keep it off this long. :) Another update for myself in just about a yr!

2+ yrs post op
on March 20, 2011 12:30 pm
Wow can't believe im here. Im still maintaining my loss. Its great because I havent been able to work out since my car accident last June, and w/a lot of family/life issues that have happened enotionally I've been drained. But my fam is my support if it weren't for my hubby and my kids Lord knows I would not be able to still be here today. Im between 129-135 it differs pending on the day. Im normally a sz 4 but wear some 2's and 6's. My stomach needs work but the hubby has approved tummy tuck is ok once I get totally healthy and recover from my heart issues. I plan on going ahead and trying to see if Tricare will even cover it although I dont think they will because Im not the "average skin"post op due to my age whatever. But all is well and Im still struggling with getting all of my protein in daily. I started at 238.6 day of surgery so Im very happy with my results and to this day wouldnt change a thing.

1 year surgiversary!!
on December 10, 2009 12:10 pm
WOW.. so its here finally hard to believe. Now time to start maintaining and watching closer..hmmm. Well Im losing abt a lb a month if that, considering im not eating strictly and gettin all the protein in as im supposed to be.  I havent worked out in 2 months since I moved from Ohio. Will start working out this week actually. I have to im getting soo flabby. But 6 seems to be the magic size 4's maybe pending on the make.  Im happy with the way i look and glad I made it to 130's. Im 137.6 as of tuesday my actual surgiversary. This journey has taught me alot, emotionally I cant say honestly that I thought I'd be happy about life 100% because i didnt but I did think that I'd be a little more positive abourt myself. I'd love a tummy tuck but if I dont it wont kill me. I plan on toning up and reshaping my butt which is nonexistent now. Not that I ever had much. At this point I 100% would recommend doing the surgery over and over again 100% it was soooo worth it to lose a 100lbs in a year. I couldnt have done it w/o it.

Just about 9 month update..
on November 4, 2009 7:33 pm
Well im only 5 days too early..so anyway this is just to show how far Ive come and where exactly I want to be. Im about 140lbs give or take pound pending on the time of day. Im happy at this weight..But yet I dont wanna get comfortable. I want to try and lose as much as I possibly can so that I can have some type of cushion(as funny as it may sound). I want to try to get down into the 130's that would be great, 120's would be phenominal but im not gonna die tryin to get there so we'll see. I havent worked out in over a month due to moving from one state to another. Moving sucks especially when youre a military spouse and do it all of the time. So im going to look at joining a gym this weekend.  I would love to have a a tummy tuck but I have a feeling the military wouldnt approve it because its not drastically bad. A butt lift would be great too..but i havent won the lotto yet.. My butt sags worse than a 90 year olds and sad thing is ive never had much to begin with it sucks thats what im most self-concious about now is my behind. How weird it used to be my weight. SO anyway Im feeling good...everything  seems to be on track. I have to get seen pretty quick due to the move I havent had my normal check ups, my labs came back from before the move and my Vit A is very low they seemed pretty concerned with that so hopefully it can be easily fied. Im taking everything im supposed to vitamins and calcium and willl soon be starting bcomplex. Iron was low-normal,calcium normal. Well hopefully I will have more to say by the 1 year mark.

Long overdue I know!!
on July 3, 2009 3:45 pm
Here's my 6+ moth update , actually im abt to hit 7 months next week. Im 161lbs my weight fluctuates so i try to only weigh myself about every week and a half. Im pretty much able to eat whatever I want BUT I still tend to watch what I eat I still dont drink w/ meals which Im proud of..because prior to surgery I never couldve thought of doing such a thing. I hope all of my December Surgery buddies are doing well....I got to the gym and workout doing cardio + weight atleast 3 times a week, this past few weeks has been pretty stressful we have military transfer orders so we'll be moving pretty soon. Well done for now..will update soon. Oh my goal is 148 so im not too far looking forward to that and at this point I can fit into a size 12 pending on the make.

My Story

I basically started out as a kinda husky little girl or maybe average to most standards. I blossomed as we say at 12 boobs and hips and all. In high school maintained in 120's thin compared to where i am now. Then after first kid at 18 lost all but 10 lbs back to 140's. Still a size 9/10 possibly tight 8's. After my 2nd child 2 yrs later gained 65 lbs and kept every last pound + gained an addtl 20lbs over time. Yo-yo'd to try and lose it but sweets addictiong kept me down as usual. Never been much for eating regular foods but offer me a brownie or a piece of cake and im game..lol So i figured that im fat enough to qualify although barely...so my hubby suggested that if I wanted it we would just pay if I couldnt qualify which at first technically i didnt but I gained about 20 lbs by being sedentary I started working from home so Im sure that attributed to most of that..lol So here I am.
