Thee and a half pounds lost this week and almost eighty pounds to date. This week was rough because my new medications are leveling and felt depressed which is normal but not pleasant. One medication is still missing because of insurance. It takes a few adjustents to find the right medication combination and dosage levels that are most effective.

Recent Weigh Ins:

This week: 374.2 (78.8) - 3.4

Last week: 377.6 (75.4) -4.8

Previous week: 382.2 (70.8) -70.8

Highest Weight: 453

(Thhis blog posts replaces the returning blog post from April 18th that was accidently overwritten with April 25th's post for 377.6.) Let's try again from memory, this is my story since I stopped blogging two years ago.

Hello. I have not blogged in two years and I am starting this weekly or more blogging again and trying to get my life on track again. Here is what happen...

We lost my Mommy a year and half ago. While mourning, I stopped talking my medications (major depressive disorder) and turned to food for comfort. We lost my Father-in-Law this Valentine's and my Father was in the hospital, too. On my birthday in February, my Father had a cardio catherization and since has been in and out of the hospital for his heart and now at home on oxygen. And most recent is my hospital visits. First trip was a week for a urinary infection and kidney stones and the second for a week for psychiatric care to get back on my medications for the major depressive disorder. (MDD).

Here I am again... two years has passed and alot has happen in my life. I am not making excuses for my weight gain. I was over 450 lbs at my heaviest. I got down to almost 350 lbs before my recent life crisises and then since has returned to almost 400 lbs but fighting since the hospital visits and now down to 382.2 when I started blogging a week ago. I will weight in weekly and post it here. I may blog between weigh ins too.

Blessings on thy journey... one pound at a time!

A week ago I wrote a returning blog post with a story about what has happen since I stopped blogging two years ago. Somehow I overwrote that post with this week's blog. I will rewrite my story.

Last Monday weigh in: 282.2

This Monday weigh in 277.6

It is a week since my last weigh in and blog post. Today is 377.6 giving a 4.8 difference from last week and that is almost 5 lbs! Yay me! What was different this last week? Replaced white bread with whole wheat bread and added light yogurt everyday. I am keeping hydrated, too. I had a very heavy menstral cycle after none for a couple months but once I recovered from that I started to move more. I started to spring clean my bathroom and it took several divided tasks to do. It feels good to do something myself even though I am sore... you know the good kind of sore? LoL Writing this blog helps, too!

NOTE: This post accidently overwritten the post for for April 18. This post was for April 25th. I will rewrite my returning story from memory if possible.

An interesting number... a positive number. 10.6 lbs to the 100 lb milestone.

13 lb from my 100 lb lost milestone

I weigh 368 pounds now. I started at 453 lbs and approaching my 100 lbs lost milestone. I am near happy tears at the thought that it is really happening while not happy it took so long. I wanted to note that here and let it go. I lost myself in a deep depression for a long time, way too long. The spiral of depression, denial, stress, and more kept me in a dark place for a long time and I stopped losing weight but I won't forget the start and I won't forgot how hard it is to get to where I am. Almost 100 lbs gone but I still have alot of pain and trying to address medical issues. Currently is the possibility of having endometriosis. A CT Scan has ruled out other causes of a severe debilitating pain in my lower belly. The only way to determine diagnosis beyond that is a D&C surgical procedure of the uterus lining. In the meanwhile I am testing for other causes of overall pain and fatigue to my joints, muscles, and nerves. My last goal was to break the 370 barrier by Mother's day and I did. Now my new goal is to reach 100 lbs total and that is... 353 and only 14 lbs so I want to be 350lbs and then will make next goal. xoxox

Thte last two months I have watched the scale gradually drop a pound at a time and so close to the 360's. It feels good. I would love to be there by Mother's Day.

Month End Weigh In Recap: HW 453, CW 373, TW 80

After a trip to ER on Easter Sunday for a bit of cellulitis in my hip, I am resting with antibiotics and pain medications. I think the pain is more then expected due the location. :P I gotta sits, ya know? :P I am down a wee bit more this week. When I feel better I hope to start walking. I have been trying to eat more vegetables and back to weight watchers frozen dinners for lunch or when i feel i need extra bulk. I still eat greek yogurt and has tried lots of brands. I still drink atkins protein drink but interested in trying isopure and others after reading VSG support groups on Facebook. (Recap: HW:453 CW: 374.6)
