Greetings!
So here  we are June 2, and I'm happy to report that I have hit my next mini goal. My mini goal was to have hit 138 and to be walking 4 x's per week. I'm now 136 woohoo and walking 4 times per week, 2.5 miles a day and jogging 4 flights of stairs 6 x's up and down!!!!!!!! so just 6 more pounds to go, until i've reached my GOAL weight of 130! I hope to have hit 130 by my re-birth date in July. So just 5 weeks to go.... Let me say I won;t be discouraged if I don't as i have come a very long way since day 1 of 254 pounds!

Mini goal #6
Hit 130 pounds by July 13th.


Stay tuned.

p.s. i will try to post a before and after. 

Huggs,

This update is so overdue, my mini goal #3 was to hit 142 by 2/13/10. I've hit 141, but it took a bit longer than that February 13th. I'm feeling great, and I have hit my mini goal #4 by walking 3 times pere week. I'm feeling great and so happy I had WLS< there's not anything that I feel I can't do. 

Mini Goal #5
5/1/10 get down to 138, woohoo 130's
Pick up the pace of walking to 4 x's per week.

Let's do this!!!!!!

Stayed Tuned!

Greeting to ALL in OH Land!
Here we go...... Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary if my rebirth 1/13/10. First of all I want to say I feel great, and I've been rediscovering that i actual have some mojo left..... IT must have been hiding under all the weight! Unfortunately, i did not hit mini goal #2, which was to be down to 145, I actually went up 1.8 to 148.8. I think a lot of it has to do with retaining water and the fact that I need to step up my goal as it gets harder to get rid of the weight, the closer you get to goal. Time to step up the game and bring the BIG guns out!

As much as i would have loved to hit my mini goal #2, I'm so proud of where I am and how well I'm doing. I started out at 254 and size 24, I'm now at 148.8 and a comfortable size 10. It's been many years, since I gotten my behind in a 10.

Mini Goal #3: Hit 142 by 2/13/10
Mini Goal #4: Exercise a minimum of 3 x's a week, have slacked off since I've been working the last 3 months (just so darned tired)

Remember we all want to "GET RID" of the weight and not lose it. i know i never want to find it again.

Stay Tuned........

Hello all!!!! Happy New Year! So as promised, i'm updating you on my first mini goal to be at 149 by 12/31/09. I'm really happy to report that I was at 148 the morning of the 31st. My interenet has been down and I was unable to access my account sooner. So my next mini goal is to be at 145 on my 6 month anniversary of my rebirth, which is 1/13/10. I just wish the weight was still melting off, but we all know it has to slow down at some point. gggrrrrrr. Stay tuned! 

Greetings!
I'm happy to report that I hit my 100 pounds gone "gotten rid of" not LOST. You may ask yourself, why does she refer to it as gotten rid of instead of losing the weight.... The answer is simple when you lose anything, it can always be FOUND again, however, when you get rid of it....it GONE forever! I encourage everyone to get rid of the pounds and not too loose them...I don't believe that anyone on this awesome support site wants to ever, ever, ever find that pesky pest we call "weight aka obesity". One of my new friends on here asks why don't I update my blogs more often? I do apologize for my short comings, but I'm crazy busy with work, being a mom and beating off all the men with a stick (just kidding) lol. It's so crazy to think that in 5 months and 6 days, I have gotten rid of 100 POUNDS!!!! I'm 24 pounds away from my goal, and i can't wait to see the scale hit 130......woohoo! For anyone that may be experiencing longer than normal plateaus, especially as you get closer to your goal... Go back to the basics, meaning nothing but liquid protein 3 times a day with plenty of water and it will jump start the weight drop again. Both my girlfriend Leanne (also on the OH) and I did that and what do you know....we're both starting dropping  again.
Future mini goals:  Down to 149 by 12/31 and down to 145 by 1/10/10 (my 6 month anniversary following my rebirth.

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. I promise to check in on 12/31 to give my updated "stats" on my mini goal 

Hello all! ok, so I'm down to 164! Just 34 more pounds to goal yea!!!!!!!!! Ladies we're all doing so awesome!  

All I can say is....... I wake up in the morning and thank GOD that I have the strength....... I'm sure you all can relate.
Have a great day!
Me

Hello! What a beautiful Sunday. I'm happy to report that my plataeu has passed (hopefully). Since Friday, I have dropped a little over 2 pounds. I have been getting more of my protein in which I beleive is helping. I just can't beleive how much healthier I feel since i have had the WLS. I feel like I'm actually living life again :), wow, I forgot how that had felt. I'll feel much better when i can get this headache issue under control.. I hope everyone is having a great day. I'll talk to you soon!

ok, so for the last 12 days I have only gone down 3 pounds! I'm feeling so discouraged right now. Yes, I know this will pass, but just had to share this with you. I need to step up my effort to go to the gym, the only problem is I've been dealing with reoccuring headaches for the last 4 weeks on a daily basis! God please give me the strength not to pull my hair out.  I can't wait to see the numbers drop some...... I'm hoping to be down to 175 by Oct 10th which is 2 days after my 36th bday. Please, please, please. Ok enough whining already! Happy Friday!

Ok, so I'm now 1 month and 5 days post op. I now weigh 195 pounds, I'm down 60 pounds preop and 23 since surgery. I'm half way to my goal weight of 130 pounds. I've droped 5 pant sizes and I now wear large and medium sized shirts (can you beleive that a medium)! I'm just so excited, the weight is coming off much slower now :( My b-day is in October and I'm hoping to be down another 20-30 pounds, 30 would be awesome! I started working out at the gym again today, I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow am, lol. I've already started living my brand new lease on life.
