So I've been going to the Crossfit for six months now, and I am down 30 pounds from 253 to 223.  I feel good, and I can see my body transforming...getting leaner and harder in some places.  My abdominal area is still flabby and soft so I'll need to wrok on that.  Thinking about adding a pilates class once a week to my 3-days a week Crossfit regimen.  Can't hurt.  So I'm over 4 years out from my surgery and I wish I was at my goal weight. My hair has been really thinning lately and it's pretty obnoxious.  I wonder if I'll be bald one day...  Anyways, that's my brief update.  We'll see where I am in another six months I guess.  

Since my last post so many things have happened in my life.  In June 2013 I got pregnant and then delivered the best baby boy in February 2014.  I love that this happened but it had an impact on my weight loss.  My last post was me weighing in at 188lbs and now I'm 65lbs heavier at 253.  I only have myself to blame for this.  During my pregnancy I managed my weight very well and only gained 26lbs. After Liam was born I dropped most of it in the following month, but then it started creeping back.  I wasn't able to go back to pilates because of not having childcare and I wasn't working full time so I got really flabby.  Now it's January 2016 and my son is almost two years old and I'm just fat again.  I'm uncomfortable and am having a lot of back pain.  I need to get this under control.  I'm going to start going to a Crossfit twice a week to start back on my journey.  I also need to get my diet under control.  Grant and I have fallen back into old eating patterns with refined carbs and sugar.  We're going to stop this.  I'm going to get this back on track.  

In exactly one month I will reach my one year surgiversary! 
Weighed in at 197 today. Probably won't lose more than 5-7 in the coming month, but I guess I'll take it :)

I am 11 months out from my surgery, and I have finally hit a huge milestone...ONEDERLAND! It feels amazing.  The last time i was one hundred anything was a good 8-9 years ago, but here I am, at 198 lbs...and it's only going to get better.  My BMI has dropped ~20 points as it started at 53.4 and I can't wait until the day where it says I am a normal weight. Pilates has been great for me and I'm loving the firmness of my body. My goal for these next 13 months is to reach my target weight of 135-140 lbs.  I know the road will be tough as the weight loss is slowing down, and the stalls are increasing, but I will do this. I will reach my goal weight.  

Today I stepped on the scale and lo and behold, I have lost 100 pounds!  It blew my mind.  I still have 71 pounds to go to reach my goal of 140, but I will get there.  With the help of pilates and the support of my husband, I will get there. It's so crazy! I feel great!
