Okay, so I feel bad.  I totally have not posted anything about my last year!  I'm still doing great and I'm now in the low 170's - so a slight weight gain but nothing that can't be fixed with more exercise.  I've moved from Utah to Colorado and I'm loving it here.  I'm contemplating doing the baby thing but still a little nervous.  Very excited to see what the next few years will bring.  No regrets!

So here I sit...a month from hitting my 2 year surgiversary.  I'm still maintaining my weight though it bobbles within a ten pound range of my lowest weight of 155.  I have been working really hard on my arms lately.  Being this small I can actually see changes in my arms and I'm loving it!  I have been doing GRIT at the gym which is a lot like crossfit.  It's helped me get past a lot of fears and to challenge myself more.  

 

 So I was getting a little nervous when I was starting to drop into the low 150's.  I really didn't want to drop another pants size. I can't afford to buy anymore clothes! lol.  So it finally leveled out at 155 and I am in a 5/6...which I love!!!!  I never thought I would look forward to getting dressed in the morning or all the clothes that I would think look awesome on me.  It's crazy!

Well I have made it a whole year...and a week or so (I've been slacking on the blogging)
I currently weigh 162 which is a 118lbs lighter than I was a year ago.  What a change!

Where has the time gone? Where have the pounds gone?  I can't believe that I have lost so much and I still am not a year yet. I am now officially down 112lbs and I wear a 7/8.  That's crazy.  I have never even been close to this small. I still picture myself a 14 when I try on clothes.  I wonder if I will ever picture myself small? I hope so.  I've never been a "small" person. Being 5'10" and having size 11 feet make that hard even before I add in the fact that I was over weight.  I love my new size...the only thing I really miss is my butt and boobs...but Victoria has secrets for that, lol.
I took this picture the other night.  I guess it's time I do updates on my weight loss progress photos.  I haven't done one since I weighed 199 and that was 30lbs ago.  CRAZY!!!  I set my new goal at 160...after that, I don't know. I am kinda tired of buying new clothes, lol.

So 5 months have passed.  I actually thought I had hit my 6 month Surgiversary when I had these taken yesterday.  Guess I was getting ahead of myself, lol.
So in five months I have lost 81lbs and reached one of my bigger goals - being under 200lbs!!
I can't believe how big I was.  It's insane.  It makes me want to apologize to my husband for having to look at me.
Though I can't wait for him to look at me now when he gets home from his deployment, lol.

So my friend commented the other day that somehow I seem to sneak in reaching my goals right at the last second.  The day before my 6 month surgiversary I hit that wonderful number 199!

I'm so glad to get here and this big milestone makes me believe that I can actually hit my goal.  I've never been under 200lbs in my Adult life.  I bought some goal jeans the other day - Size 31...I'm hoping to fit in them before my hubby gets home in October.  I am thinking it's actually a possibility that they may even be too big, lol.

I'll be taking some comparison pictures this evening so I can see how much I've changed.
Yah!! 

So I wore a dress to work today.  I am down to 204...just 5lbs away from Onderland.  A place I've never really been other than when I grew through it in junior high.  I'm looking forward to being one of the girls, lol.

Well it's almost time for my vacation to Florida!  I can't wait to go, only a week left of waiting.  I've also made it to 215lbs.  Only 5 more pounds till my vacation goal weight.  I don't actually think that I am going to make it there...5lbs in one week is a lot to lose.  I'll keep trying though and see what happens.  I'm just really excited that I've even gotten this close.

I'm finally starting to catch up to my husband.  I can't wait till the day when I am actually thinner than him.  I'm already taller which isn't so fun so thinner would be nice.  He's sitting at 200lbs right now but he's losing as well.  I know I can catch him!!

I have a personal training session today.  That should be interesting.  The last one was tough but awesome...I love how much he makes me sweat!  What I hate was not being able to walk for the next 3 days and missing out on all my workouts for the rest of the week.  Hopefully now that he has broken my leg muscles in...it won't be as bad as the first time.  We'll see though!  

Well I best be getting back to work and getting this week out of the way.  Did I mention that I wear a 14 now?  So nice to not feel fat anymore...though I can't wait to feel THIN!!

Just busy as usual, lol.  I am finally in the lower 220's.  Can't wait to get out of them forever!
Feeling a lot better about my body.  Almost feel normal ;)
Worked really hard in the gym last week and I will be doing the same this week and hopefully for now on.
Started keeping track of what I eat as well.  I really love myfitnesspal.com it's really easy to use!
Well I best be getting back to work.
I'm posting a couple pictures from my Rugby Summer Ball. Now that was a tiny dress...but I loved it :)
