I am down almost 54 lbs & 3 dress sizes. I can't believe it! 

I am sad that I will be having my foot surgery on Thursday! 

I will NOT be able to walk much for 2 weeks with the stitches in. This is killing me since I have been working out almost daily since 2 wks post op.

I will find a way to get back on track. Until then...
I will keep on keepin on! Hope you do the same! 

I have hit a bit of a stall. The scale is at a stand still! Makes me sad! 

Even worse is I just found out last week that the surgery I had on my foot in Aug. Has to be repeated. This means 10-14 days of NO working out! I can walk on it but that is IT! I am depressed just thinking about it!

I will have stitches in my foot so I can't even push myself without risking more damage! SUCKS BIG TIME!

Well, just gotta keep on keepin on! GOOD LUCK ALL!

I had my 1st official weigh in since last weeks start of my 4 wk challenge. I did it a few times last week along with my zumba class & I lost 4 lbs. I was quite happy with that!

I see how a lot of people are down 60lbs by now & it is frustrating to me that I am only down 46.5lbs but...The docs all say that SLOWER is better! I am Happy with that!

I am happy, I am healthier & I feel MUCH better! There is NO WAY i could have done 1/2 of what I was doing before!

Keep on keepin on! We are all on the road to our new ME! 

Had a good visit with my PCP today! He was so happy to see I lost 11 lbs since last months visit!  It was his idea to push me in the direction of WLS. I Thank him every time!   He was so happy my BP was NORMAL! 

It is the little things that keep me going! I am down 44lbs & three months out! I am fitting into shirts & pants I haven't worn in 3-4yrs & LOVING it! 

Tonight I start Zumba classes @ the YMCA!  (wish me luck!)     I have also started a 4 week fitness challenge in the Biggest Loser Wii edition!    I know it is not anything special but, when you are out of shape & overweight, it is the kick in the A$$ you need to keep you on track!

Keep on keepin on & make today the 1st day of the Rest of our NEW lives!

P.S. I survived my 1st Zumba class & I actually made it through most of it without being DEAD to the world! Back to my 4 week Biggest Loser fitnes challenge tonight! 

I had surgery just about 3 months ago now. I read all the posts/blogs of people who had surgery around the same time. I feel AMAZING! I just realize that I am losing a LOT slower than many. I think it has something to do with my exercise routine. I am doing some strength training along with walking  & I feel the muscle mass building again.

I think this has a LOT to do with the slow road down. I will TAKE it!!!!!

Believe it or not, I am HAPPY with just how well I am progressing! I CAN not & WILL not let my amazing NEW me fall apart! I have come SO far to turn around now!

Today I picked up my hubby's fleece, zipped & ran out the door. I was a 3-5XL before surgery. Now, I zipped his XL fleece & it fit! It was & is a HUGE NSV for me!

I know the little things in life make me happy. The fact that my undies are now 3 sizes smaller...PRICELESS! The weight will come off & I will be happier than EVER!

Keep on Keepin on everyone! One day at a time, one LB at a time...Our new YOU emerges & we  beome the  amazing person on the OUTSIDE that we ALWAYS were on the inside! The Yin to our Yang! 

Hello & welcome to the NEW YOU! I am SO HAPPY with the NEW ME!!!!

This week I finally hit the 42lb down mark! I am so excited! The clothes shopping in my closet is starting to get fun! I just got into an XL shirt & it is a NICE Fit! I had worn this 3 yrs ago & it was TIGHT! This is a WONDERFUL feeling! 

I hope all of you are doing well! This is not an easy journey but it is a journey worth taking! I am feeling AMAZING! My family is helping me so much! They are the reason for the change! I needed to be here for THEM! 

My 6yr old made me a  shaped magnet for Valentines day & wrote the word HOT on it! She said Mommy you are getting skinny & look so beautiful! You are one hot mama!  She is just too cute! The same child who a year ago told me my panties were SO BIG! I wanted to die inside then & gave her the biggest hug now! THey do not realize how much they influence our lives!

Well guys, Keep on Keepin on!!!  

I was just 1.2lbs shy of 40 lbs on this past Saturday.
Then...it was my daughters birthday party on Saturday & Super Bowl on Sunday! 
Today I jumped back on the scale & I am just (again) 1 lb away. It is so close I can Smell it! I have now broken the 50's & LOVE the 40's! Just can't wait to meet the 30's!!!

Hope you are all doing well! Keep on Keepin on & Together we can ALL do this! :)

Today I went to my PCP for the results of the blood work he had done last week. My Liver Enzymes are WAY down, my sugar is down 11 Points & my numbers all looked good.   The only kink was my Vitamin D was LOW!  I had started taking Vitamin D after I had the blood drawn so I am probably better by now, I will wait until the surgeon does the blood work in another 2 months & see what he says about it! 

My PCP was VERY happy to see I had lost another 10 LBS since I was there 1 month before! Told me to call my ins & find out if they will pay for a gym membership if he writes a script? He would like for me to swim & do some stationary bike riding!  That I can do! I told him I have been doing the Wii EA Active 30 day challenge & walking. He was so happy to hear that. I will keep that up until I finish! I also bought the Wii Zumba 2 game tonight!!! O M G...what a workout that is! Burned 262 calories in 17 mins! Woo HOO LOVE IT! Now I won't have to look like a fool when March comes & I go to take the Zumba class! Hopefully I will have learned how to do the moves the RIGHT way by then! LOL

Well, Keep on keepin on! We have come this far...TOO LATE TO TURN AROUND NOW! Have a GREAT NIGHT!!!

This was my first week back at work. I have to say it was not the best since they gave me more hours but, on the other hand, I am learning how to EAT on a schedule again.

It seems like the LBS have been dropping faster now that I am back to work. I LIKE that!  I still take the time to make sure that I get my 30 day challenge in from the Wii Active! It does a great job @ kicking my A$$ into shape! 

My marriage is not PERFECT by any means, I don't think ANY ONE'S is! I can however say that Hubby & I are a LOT closer now!  He confessed he was worried about how things would be after the surgery. Would I still LOVE him the same, would I find a NEW life with my new ME? I promised him He was IT for me! I wasn't in this to look like a model, just for the health! (looking like a model wouldn't hurt tho

I am officially down 34 pounds now & I am REALLY happy with that! I just want to see if I can make it to 245 or less for my 3 month check up on Feb 29Th. I have faith in ME that I can do what I put my mind to! It WILL happen. Next Saturday will be my 2 month surgiversarry! I will try to see if I can be in the 240's by then. I am now @ 252.6 from 286.6. I haven't felt this good in years! I can't wait to see what this summer is like!  I won't have to fear being harpooned at the beach! They will no longer be able to mistake me for a beached whale! 

Well, keep warm & keep on keepin on! This is a LONG journey that has only just begun! I plan on seeing it through to the END! 

Today I am giving my self a round of applause! I stepped on the scale and IT  MOVED  DOWN  TO  30LBS  LOST!!! 

Not to give TMI but, I also started my girl thing today so to achieve this goal & be retaining water is a wonderful thing! This is one of my goals I had set for the end of the month. I was trying to lose 30 lbs in 2 months so...I have exceeded my expectations! 

Keep up the good work everyone! We are all on this journey together & we DESERVE IT!
