wow..life changes so much

Aug 15, 2012

well as I said in my updated profile...I am engaged to my best friend...we have been together for 3 yrs now...we have our issues but I wouldn't trade him for anything...we decided to get pregnant...since I had my tubes tied years ago...we did IVF..which was very quick and easy for us...I gave birth to 2 healthy baby boys on April 4th, 2012...It was more joy then I have ever had since my first 3 children and grandbabies but extra special because I never dreamed I would be starting over again and having more babies...now my grandkids are older then my two youngest...lol...so now I am grandmamommy...lol...its easier. Israel works hard for us we are getting ready to buy a house...our lives aren't perfect...but we are happy and in love...and I pray that it stays that way...I never did reach my goal weight...that is still a work in progress....but I will get there and I look and feel better then I have felt in my life in a long time !!

Beautiful fall...except the rain.

Oct 27, 2009

Ok I am @ 228, and I am so happy. I had my turn with the flu and it was terrible, I hope it's all over. I also had that awful cold that was going around. I have my 6th month check up on November 10th. I am looking forward to it, and think that I am doing well. I kept pouting about hitting the plaques, and all of a sudden I start dropping again. I am so looking forward to a size 14...lol. I am on a mission. How is everyone doing? Anyone needs to talk, feel free to message me. I am also on www.myspace.com/la_gata_lopez and on facebook under the same username. I check those most often on my cell. Good luck everyone.

my crazy life

Sep 28, 2009

Ok I have been having car trouble forever now!! I may have it all finished this week but now my brakes are bad and I need new ones plus the rotors!! Then the other day when it was pouring rain my tire was half flat and my boyfriend had to get out and air it up! So what now ? new tires, Cr@p! Then this past Monday night, my favorite aunt who was like a grandma to me passed away and now I have to go to the showing and funeral Friday and in order to go I had to switch shifts with a girl at work and work her 14 hours tomorrow in order to get off for Friday !! UUHHGGG god !! What ever happened to funeral leave?? I'm so sick of this year, I am doing ok from my surgery but it doesn't seem like my weight is coming off very fast. Everyone says that I am losing normally but I want it all gone now!! lol Going out Friday night to Caddies to let loose. I need to dance and have fun, but I have to get my outfit together, get my car all fixed and cleaned before Friday!! Wish me luck!!

movin right along...

Sep 10, 2009

Ok...I'm @ 238 !! I am so happy! I have been shopping for a few tops and new shoes and bra's and panties. I have only bought 2 pair of jeans and they are both too big for me now and like brand new! Most of my clothes have been given to me by my friends that have had the surgery too and it has been wonderful. I got a new sweater jacket too, which I desperately needed. I am cold almost all of the time now..I guess my body is trying to ajust to the shedding...lol. I am going to Xfest Saturday and can not wait. Everything seems to be going well and me and my man and doing great.

What I did today...

Jul 23, 2009

I am @ 251...weeee lol ! Went to a support group meeting tonight. We went to the local Kroger store and walked through with a group and 2 dietitions. We discussed how important it is to get the right balance of food and hidden sugars and carbs in food that say lite and diet and low fat. It was very informative and nice to meet some new people. Wow there are so many of us that need help. It's wonderful to have these groups to show each other that some one out there cares and understands just what you are going through. I am really liking the Adkins Advantage Drinks. They have 15 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar and you can get 4 for 4.97 @ Wal-Mart, they were 5.97. I think that the vanilla tastes the best but others like the chocolate. I don't care for the strawberry which is weird because I usually love strawberry everything. Kroger also has yogurt that is called carbmaster I think and it has 12 grams of protein and 3 sugars. I also bought one of those kashi dinners that was really good and it was like 5.00 but had 16 grams of protein and like 3 sugars. That is what I had for dinner and the yogurt. So I got 28 grams of protein in one meal and I could eat it all ! lol It was chicken chipolte with whole grain rice. Very tasty and the banana and strawberry yogurt. Yummy! I hope this information is helpful and I will write again soon.

2 months out

Jul 20, 2009

I am 2 months post op. I am doing fine, I have my bad days but mostly good. I am @ 253 and wearing a size 18. I was so happy when I slipped those on and buttoned them and zipped them up. OMG they are on...and I can breath...lol. I have went from a size 28/30 to an 18 WOW moment !!  I have lost a total of 100 lbs all together and 43 since May 6th. I got a long way to go, but I am doing it and I have  my surgeon and friends and family to thank for all the support and my online friends too. Love you guys. Now on a more personal note: I am getting divorced not because of my surgery but for other reasons. I have a new man in my life that has been there for me through my surgery and before. Thank you Isreal , I love you ! I'm gonna be ok.
