My life has really changed!!!!!!

Aug 07, 2011

My husband and I have lost over 200lbs!!!!  My BMI is in healthy normal range now.  I'm no longer considered overweight!!!

but the most amazing part is that we are making our children's lives healthier!!!!  my 5 year old daughter is almost down 3 pounds in less than a month!!!!!! its slow but if we can keep it slow and constant this will be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to get her down 20-30 lbs  so this is my new goal, saving her the horrible life of being obese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hope all are enjoying Summer!  take care

I DID IT, I REACHED MY GOAL!!!!!!!!!!

May 07, 2011

My surgery was 11/23/10 and on 5/6/11 I met my goal  I'm down to 160 pounds and I can't believe how hard it is to write 160 vs 260, it's automatic for me to start writing 200 something for my weight !!!!!!!  71 pounds gone forever !!!!!!
I'm in size 10, I think I would be healthier with a little more weight gone, new goal 150-155 lbs! 
Hope all are doing Great!!! Happy Mother's day to all mommies out there!  My 5 great kids make it a wonderful Mother's Day for me.

My next challenge!

Mar 21, 2011

Hi Everybody!

Hope all is well with everyone. My weight loss is slow but steady so cant complain! I can actually fit into some size 10!!!!!!!
My coumadin finally got into therapertic range. However it quickly went over and out so now I'm purple!!!!!!  Gets better my doctor finally decided to investigate why I have splenic infarct from the blood clot back in NOVEMBER!  lucky me the found an ASD  (hole in my heart - allowing blood to flow left  to right!)  So I should be down another 10 pounds with this especially if I end up having open heart surgery (sometimes they can plug it while doing heart cath.)
Gotta run  Hope everyone enjoyed the awesome weather, we took the gang to the zoo!!!!!!

Happy Valentine's DAY!!!!

Feb 12, 2011

Couple weeks shy of 3 month post op, and 57 pounds gone forever! I am only 6 ounces away from 174 pounds! That's the weight I was when I was mommy of 1 NOW MOMMY of 5 it feels great!  Of course the journey isn't always easy, But thats life!  Trust me I have a lot of potential excuses, full time job, 5 kids, taking care of my elderly mother, laundry, housework, 3 PTA,'s blood clots, cancer, digging out my skinnier clothes yes that takes hours! the list goes on forever! I'm needed more and more thats why I must take care of MYSELF and become healthier daily! I'm almost ok with pictures now, I always ran away from the camera before!  Hubby is doing awesome, he is 101 pounds down now, he had his surgery 1 week before me!  Compliments are flying which makes anyone feel good! Romance is even more in our lives, we got rid of that extra person (101+ 57= 158 normal size person)
My baby is finally recovering from bilateral pneumonia! Yes all 5 usually gets sick together, germs are the only thing they insisted on sharing freely!!!!!! Hopefully no more fevers and no more breathing treatments after this week!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT VALENTINE'S DAY WITH THEIR SPECIAL SOMEONE AND FAMILY! 

KEEP UP ALL YOUR HARD WORK  ITS WORTH IT!!!!!   YES WE WILL BE READY FOR SUMMER THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
