Back again...should not have left... :)
Oct 15, 2010
I left the forums a few years ago because I thought I was good to go on my own. Hmm...seems like that's not what I should have done. lol I am 4 years out and have been gaining weight again, thinking I could just go back to my old junk habits. Part of the problem is that lean meats, if they are not ground, do not go down well...and at 4 yrs out still tend to get stuck. So, I eat junk...stuff that goes down easy...even if I don't eat tons of it. Well, couple that with a grazing problem from being a work at home mom, and I found trouble! Sooo, I am trying to get back to eating healthy and properly...exercising too, and we are doing it as a family. I needed support from those who understand my struggles, so I thought...duh, get back to OH.com!! :) I love the new widgets and tools...those were not here back when I was posting regularly! Anyway, I thought I'd say hi, and that I hope to be hanging around more!

I MADE IT!!!
Jul 10, 2007
I reached my personal goal today of 180...in fact, it was 179 this morning!! YAY!! I am just going to keep chugging along to see where I end up, but I'm so happy to have made it! We celebrated by playing tennis and buying me a new pair of running shoes. :) :) :)
Wow, I'm so behind in keeping my blog up! I'm still around! :

It has been an amazing year, for sure! I have now lost 168lbs from my highest weight. I was hoping to make my personal goal by one year out, and I got close! I'm 182. My surgeon was so pleased with how well I've done, and that made me feel good! He wants to post my before and after pics on their bulletin board that pre-operative patients view, as an advertisement for AnMed. :) I have a consultation with a plastic surgeon on July 17th. Please be in prayer about this. Insurance will not cover any reconstructive work, but I am hoping that I can have the abdominoplasty done at the same time as my hernia repairs...that way, the insurance will cover the hospital stay, anesthesia, etc... We then just have to find a way to finance the surgery itself, which is about $8,500. Easier said than done, I know! :) But God is a mighty God, and I believe in the power of prayer! This is a surgery that will help bring closure to my journey, and is also needed for my health, since my excess stomach skin causes back pain and hygiene issues. My hubby and I are so happy with the results of my gastric bypass, and thankful that God gave me the opportunity to have it done. Now the rest is up to me, to keep that weight off! :)
What a great week!

I started some water exercise yesterday with a friend from church. The class is mostly for ladies that have issues with other types of exercise...arthritis, bad hips, knees, etc.. It was a lot of fun! So I'm going back today. My friend goes 3 days a week, so that will be perfect! The water work out gives me a lot of toning work, which has truly been missing from my own exercise regime. I love the water!
Ok, so how close can I get to 199?? 200.0! lol But hey, I was very happy to see 200.0, for sure. No complaints!

Another step closer
Feb 27, 2007
The warmer weather is starting to come back. No more excuses for slacking on the exercise, right? :) I did get out yesterday, and had a great walk.
I tell you, I have this nightmare, where I get to 200, and it stops...never allowing me the pleasure of reaching 199. lol I know you are probably thinking...get to 199 already and shut up about it! :) Hoping it will be soon! But I can't guarantee I'll shut up. he he he

I find it strange...
Feb 20, 2007
I find it so strange that it feels as though my losses are going SO slow, yet when I look at my weight loss chart, my losses look good for this far out. At least, I think they do. How I lost 4lbs this week, I don't know! I ate way too much Valentine's junk. I have GOT to get rid of the rest!! I feel that loss of control creeping back in...that needs to go. :oP 205...wow, Onederland is so close. I think I will cry when I see a 199 on my scale. Just not fathomable at this point!
Not much loss, but good loss on inches. :)
Feb 13, 2007
Well, I lost that +lb from last week and lost one more lb. Losses seem to have really slowed down since my 6 month mark. But it really helps to see my weight loss chart here. It seems like I bounce around the same couple lbs FOREVER, then I look on my chart, and it really hasn't been as long as it seems. lol I did lose another 3/4 of an inch around my hips this week, so I'll definitely take that! :)
Took another pic this last week...I'll post it in my photos. :)

My first weekly gain!
Feb 06, 2007
Well, shoot. My first + on my weight loss chart. Seems I am back in the bounce around mode! Maybe this will be the new trend. Lose 5 lbs, bounce around for a few weeks, then lose a few more lbs. I did lose 1/4 inch around my waist though, so the gain my just be water weight. Having trouble staying away from the salty foods!
Is another stall looming?
Jan 30, 2007
Well, I've had 2 weeks of good losses. Makes me nervous that another stall is coming. I will just keep working and hoping I get even closer to Onederland!! Only 11 more lbs to go! Eeeeeeeee!! It's been 18 years since I saw Onederland, and even then, it was only for a few months. Can't wait!
Getting closer!
Jan 22, 2007
Only 14 more lbs to go to 199! Man, I can't believe it. The weird thing is, no matter how many times I look at myself in the mirror, I just don't see how the heck I weigh 213. I guess since the majority of my weight is in my stomach, it really makes me feel like I weigh 250. But I suppose that is much better than 350 like I was last January!! :) Hoping to keep on the downward trend!
