It has been awhile since I posted anything. Today I finally reached another milestone! No longer in the 160's :) I can't believe how long the last 10 pounds took to come off. Size 10 in pants but still 12 for dresses. It is the holidays and all the baking begins in my house this weekend. I have not tried any sweets for over 6 months but I might be tempted to take a bite. Happy holidays to all. 

Wow 169.8! Since I am a slow loser it sure feels good to finally be in the 160's :)

I so want to be 145 for my sons wedding on 011213! However at the rate I am going I might not make it. I know I will get to my goal eventually though very very happy with my surgery. I want my oldest daughter to have WLS but her insurance wont cover it. I am hoping to go back to work and help her pay for it. Praying for something good to come my way so I can help her.

 

Well I had the MRI done today just have to wait for them to read and send the report to the Ortho. What will go wrong next:( 
At least my hands are ok and elbow so i can do a few things like type and knit :)
On a good note I am down to 176.6 today yay!! I have read so much about people reaching certain weights and then it stops going down and it really is a scary thought that I may not get to my goal weight. I still do not get hungry but my body gets weak when I need to eat. Tomorrow it will be 4 months since my surgery will have to take some pictures and post them. I don't see my doctor again untill Nov 1. This year is passing by real fast and I am getting concerned with the added health issues and insurance. I have met my 6400 deductable for this year but it starts all over again in Jan. So what ever is wrong with this shoulder has to get fixed before year end. 

 Happy birthday to me today :) Woke up with some really bad right shoulder pain going to try tylenol hope it helps. Well no birthday cake for me today and I really don't miss it, funny I don't even have a desire for it thank you RNY! Need to spend some time on going through medical bills and make a plan to get them paid over time :( not enough money in the HSA to pay them off all at once. This afternoon another ultra sound on my thyroid. Getting frustrated with doing this every 6 months wish they would take it out or wait longer inbetween the ultra sounds. 
Today is a raining day the kind of day you just want to stay in bed. Four more days and I will be 4 months out and new pictures will be added. 

Personal goal not met :( I was hoping to weigh in today on my BD 175 but the scale is not budging 179 for the past few days. 

It has been awhile since I posted anything in my blog. Today a scale victory! I am out of the 180's and weighed in at 179.6 yay!! I am still losing at a slower pace just like the doctor said i would. 2 pounds a week but as long as I am losing I am happy. I had set a goal for myself to weigh in on my birthday at 175 but don't think that will happen as it is only 3 days away. When I made that goal I really thought it was doable. Another weightloss goal is to weigh in at 145 for the wedding of my son Ryan and Amanda Jan 12th. I wonder if I will fall short on that one also :( I guess my calculations are off a bit. It is strange because I think alot about what I will weigh and what size I will be at different times in this journey alot daily I should say.
 
On another note: I need motivation and I don't have any. I would rather sit and do nothing what's up with that? Still sore from my workout Wednesday - my plan was to go to the gym today but I didn't go shame on me. I have that Scarlet O'Hara thing going on all the time "tomorrows another day"!
