So, today I had my six month check up! My labs were perfect    and my surgeon was so excited! He said I was doing so well! My BMI is still 30 but he said I don't look like a 30. He said I am probably a lot of muscle since I have been going to spin and working out really hard! Yea-I mean even my family and friends (when we went to see them at Christmas said I didn't look like I weighted 165). I am a size 8 now! Yea! I am just so happy. So here is also what he said. At the last visit he said that as long as my labs were good he would clear me to "try and start" getting pregnant at 9 months out! Today he said that my labs are so good and my weight is good, that he wouldn't have a problem with me starting now. NOW with that being said, I am not going to start now! I want to lose about 20-25 more pounds before I start trying! I am really excited about that because my hubby is getting deployed this summer, and we really wanted to try and start a family before he leaves! I am so
thankful! 

So, I am not sure what wk I am on. I am sure I could figure it out but what for. I am going to my 6 month follow up appt this wk (on Wed but I think that it was actually last Tuesday). My current weight is 164. My BMI is 29.9 (yeah!) and I am wearing a size 8 jeans! I am kinda surprised that I still weigh 164 and fit into a 8. I guess I just thought I would have to weigh less to fit into that size. I have been working on toning for the last 5 months and have been going to spin class 5 days a wk so maybe that has helped me get smaller. I don't know........who knows! I am going to do my measurements tomorrow....hopefully! :)

I went home for Christmas and my family really freaked out. I guess it still is hard to really see myself how everyone else sees me, but I think that is normal. I want to lose another 25lbs or so. My surgeon is still saying that as long as my labs come back for my 6 month and 9 month appt that he will clear me for pregnancy. I really would love to get pregnant before Matt deploys this July. We will see how things go. I totally trust God and his timing. Well, I guess that is really about it. Besides losing hair I have never felt better in my life! I would do the surgery over in a heartbeat! It has given me a new start.

Well down to 168. In the 160s! Yes! I am in a size 8 now too. Whoo hoo. i do have to admit that I need to start being more disciplined with what I eat. Starting today! I CAN DO IT!

Still at 173 ahhh!!! BUT i am in to a size 8! whoohoo! I also ran 2 miles for the first time yesterday without stopping!!!!!!!

Down to 173........a slow crawl but still losing!

BUT.......I am down to 174. YEAh!

Well, I am down to 180. Unlike the previous months, Aunt flow did not help me drop a large number...only 1 lb. BOOO. Well, I guess I will go back to eating mostly protein to see if I can't get my weight into the 170s. Sigh.......

Well, I have been meaning to post my measurements since wk #12. This am I weighed in at 182...sigh.....BUT my got my monthly visitor today so with any luck (like the months before this one) I will drop a bunch right after she leaves! Keeping me fingers crossed.....really want to get into the 170s. By the way i can SQUEEZE into a 10. I don't like my jeans to "pucker" so I didn't buy them, but in a few wks I am going back.

Last week I had my check up and it went really well. I was pretty sad before hand because my husband got his deployment letter. He will be leaving next July. Which is when I was originally going to be allowed to start trying to have a child. Well, at my appt all my labs came back great and he was pleased with my weight loss. He said that if I was still doing this good at 9 months he would clear me to start trying at 9 months out! YEAH! I was so happy. Plus, it gives me great motivation to keep on working hard! Well, that is my update for now!
