I cannot believe that it has been 6 months already. As of November 2nd my 35th Birthday- I am healthier today at 35 then I was at 30- feel and look better:) I have lost 109 pounds and weigh 245. I still am amazed by losing that much. I feel much better and I do thank God that I was able to have the surgery. It has been hard at times and I know I will need to continue to work hard to stay motivated to eat right and be active and not allow myself to slip back to old habits. I would like to get down to 180 whitch would be another 65 pounds..we will see. I am grateful to all of my friends and family for their support during the past six months. I had my throat surgery adn I am healing well an should be able to sing in December -praise God!

Time flys by so quickly....September 4 was my 4 month anniversary. I am down 88 pounds:) It seems so strange to say that. It was a hard month for me. I have a vocal injury and have not been able to sing. I have to have outpatient surgery October 23. I have to be on vocal rest for 7 days!! For those that know me can understand that is almost impossible for me, but I will do it. I also lost allot of hair this month..that was hard to take. I also struggled with energy. I was drinking allot of caffine again, and I am back off of it for a few days and feel much better. I think it dehyrated me ( thanks to Linda for pointing that out). I am taking my vitamins and it is work to take everything all the time. I also have not great with going to the gym like I had the first few months, but with feeling so yucky it was hard. I hope to get back to a routine this month. I wondered a few times if I made the right choice, but I know I did ...it is not the easy way out - this has been the hardest thing I have ever done, but I know long term it will be worth it. Can't remember if I said that I was able to get off my diabetes medication:) Thank God!

I was 3 months on August 4th. It was my hubby's B-day so sorry I missed posting. I am down 77 pounds of this morning. I have my check up on Monday. This was my first mini goal, because I weigh what I did when I got married in 2001. Time has flown by- this has not been easy my any means, but well worth it. I am taking a food addiction class, and it is revealing allot of things about me. It is hard to change!! But with God' help I will:)

I am 12 weeks out today and I hit 72 pounds down today!:) I am so happy I do not know what to say. I am wearinga  size 18 top and 20 pants. It seems like a dream. I will be measureing next week to see where I am at in lost inches and taking new pics. Have a great weekend!

I had my Doc appt on Monday and I was down 56 pounds! I can't belive it! It was a bit uneal to me. For the first time I was looking forward to seeing the doctor:) It was so great to hear him say that I was losing at an above average pace. I work out at leat 3-4 times a week, and the Doc said that that really makes the difference in how fast you will lose. I thank God for oppotunity that I have had to have the surgery. It has not been easy. I still get sick if I eat to fast and I am still working on making myself eat for 30-45 minutes whitch is sooo hard for me because I am such a fast eater.  I have no regrets. I really feel for the first time that I can maybe do this- that I can acualy get to a healthy weight for the first time in my life...
