I took my 9 year old son to Hersheypark a few weeks ago and had absolutely no problem riding anything this year! We had a great time!

6 months down and I am feeling incredible. I am getting comments all of the time about how I look and my over all attitude. I am getting a lot of attention from guys I work with, which really has helped my self esteem. I am wearing clothes that fit now, instead of all the baggy stuff and wearing heels! They don't make my feet hurt at all. I am down 111 lbs, I never thought that at 6 months I would have lost this much weight. I need to get back to the gym but the boys are playing baseball and that takes up all my time. I can see my collar bone and feel my hips and ribs.
My goal for next month is to be down another 9 lbs. I am hoping to reach goal weight by my 8 month anniversary.

Today is my 5 month surgiversary and each day I am happier and happier that I have had the surgery. I am down 94 lbs, surpassing my goal of 90 lbs this month. I am wearing a size 16 clothes which I know that I haven't worn in at least the past 10 years. I have more energy and am actually playing on a church league softball team. A few little wow's for this month, I am seeing people that I haven't seen in a year and they don't recognize me, I can shop in the regular size clothing section and my oldest son says that I don't stand out in the crowd because of my size, his idea of a comment but hey he is 15.
Weight Goal for next month is to lose 10 more lbs which will put me over 100 lbs lost. I am only 34 lbs away from my goal weight.

Today is my 4 month surgiversary. I am so glad that I had the surgery. People are really noticing my weight loss. Most people are very supportive, although some people always have something negative to say. My hair has really started falling out, so I am going to get some Biotin and see if it helps. Quite a few wow moments this month. First and most important I am under 200 lbs for the first time in at least 10 years!!! I can now wrap a regular size towel around my body and nothing is hanging out. I am playing on the church softball team. I met goal this month, I am down 79 lbs.
Goal for next month is to lose another 11 lbs.

Well today is my 3 month anniversary. A lot of people are noticing my weight loss now. It only took 66 lbs! I feel good and have a lot more energy. I am down 66 lbs as of today. My goal was to lose 65 lbs so I hit goal. I am noticing that my whole attitude about eating has changed also. I have been watching tv shows where people are eating plate fulls of food and it makes me sick to my stomach to think that I was that way and could eat like that. It also makes me really ashamed of myself. The first 2 weeks after surgery I honestly thought that maybe I made a mistake because I was in such pain but now I wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Dairy still makes me sick to my stomach but meat and fruits are still working fine. I have been going to the gym 3 times a week doing 35 minutes of cardio and then weights.
Goal for next month is 79 lbs.
