11 months out
Oct 01, 2008
well its been 11 months!! wow time flies! i cant believe nov 2nd will be my year!!
i started a new job and now work as a home health aide. i work for a hospice company and i love going into peoples homes and im basically my own boss! i still have to answer to my boss's but i decide what time i am going to visit the people and have less patients than i did in a facility. i should have done this yrs ago!
since ive been in training with this place i notice alot of the girls like to eat! or they dont bring their lunch and have to eat out and most time they eat fast food!
so i am not going to be like those ones. cuz fast food for me is bad! i have eaten some of it the past month or two but maybe like 4 times tops and its not the same. cuz i get gassie and i dont like that so if i do i eat a salad or chicken!
i havent gained any weight back im still the same! 145. which was my goal bc i know people after their first yr gain 15 or 20 back and im on the safe side in case i do! cuz i liked me at 160 too!
well not sure what else to say now so im going to end this one and wish everyone luck with everything

my goal
Jul 27, 2008
well finally almost 9 months out. i hit my goal! I AM DOWN TO 145! woohoooo
now i have to maintain my weight and keep doing what im doing.
i cant believe its been 9 months, next thing u know it will be a year out! i feel great and dont regret the surgery. if i could go back in time i would have gotten it sooner.
im wearing a size 8 and i think that will prob be my size for good. unless i lose inches. i dont want to lose any more pounds. inches is ok. just not too much. i just need to get a ab tight stomach. and muscle arms lol
that will take some time i know! i wish it would hurry up
lol
well i hope everyone is doing well and good luck on any future surgery's and all that.
take care

8 months out
Jul 14, 2008
well on july 2nd it was my 8th month out. time flies let me tell you. i can not believe i have lost 117 pounds!! im proud of myself that i have! my skin is going back to normal too!
one thing that im tired of people saying is your losing too much! blah blah blah! im not losing too much. i dont know why they say this too me! this is mostly at work and im thinking its bc some of my uniforms are big on me. and they are mediums! so i have to buy smaller uniforms. i dont think that will stop the comments but it gets on my nerves!!!
i have 5 more pounds to my goal and it feels like its taking forever! i havent lost any weight since june 14th! thats one month ago! 
i love the size im in now misses 8 and small to medium tops and juniors medium to large shirts and size 9 in pants.
i even got a new look now! check out my pics and you can see it! i think i look awesome with short hair! and my hair is starting to get thick again!! woohoo
well i think this is enough to bore everyone lol
hope everyone is doing well and take care
finally
Jun 14, 2008
my orginal goal was to have it all off by end of june but im pushing it to end of july.
i need to still tone up alot! i dont know why it takes forever but it does! i hate the flab on my arms esp i cant hide that. i guess its not to bad but i hate it. everyone else says im doing good, but i know i could work harder on that part of my body.
i love when people tell me how good i look. esp the ones that havent seen me in forever! (i know i sound conseded) lol
it makes me feel good!
well i better get off and get ready for my best buds 30th bday bash!
hope everyone is doing well! keep me updated everyone
have a good one! ttyl
7 months
Jun 06, 2008
i have been slacking off on exercising. its more i dont have time. i know im using an excuss!!! then i hurt my back at work so i have to watch what im doing. i still walk 5 times a week. but as far as aerobics ive slacked off. i think i need to join that gym ive been wanting to join, but coming up with the memembership fee is the hard part.
i prob have the money for it sooner but i need to put my son first! he needs a swing set and then my car needs tires so my stimlus money will be gone when i get it on the 23rd! grrr
but anyways i just have to get back on track. well im getting off here bc my back is killing me.
well hope everyone is doing great!
6 months check up at surgeons
May 14, 2008
so i went to my surgeon yesterday. i am down 106 pounds! they are amazed with my weight loss.. they think my skin looks great. they are amazed at the workouts i do. he says im one of the great patients they have right now. WOOHOO lol
now i didnt see my actually surgeon, but i saw one of the other doctors in the group. he asked me what my goal was. i told him i want to get to 145. he said that is fine because its at the top of my height. i told him i will fill great with that weight. i told him i cant see my self any thinner than that.
i weigh 161 right now and only 16 more to go. i want to lose that by end of july. Im setting the goal to be down to my goal weight and i have faith in myself that i can do it.
im in a size 10 misses and almost can button an 8 in misses. im hoping by june or mid june i will be in a 8. my shirt size is a medium. however i do have a small size shirt i wear but i think it was marked wrong. lol
so i was on vacation last week and my son and i went to the mall and i went into all the hot spot shops and this one place omg i love it! they have a clearance rack for 2.99. and other clearance racks that are under 10 bucks!!
it takes me longer now to shop and its because i love it! i wore my first tube top last friday when i went out and i was amazed of what i looked like.
well i think thats all i have to say for now.
thanks for the support everyone.
hope everyone has a good week and weekend.
take care

its been 6 months!! wow!! time flies... i am still down 100 pounds! i cant get off the 167. i started to get upset but then i realized i am still losing inches. i am in a medium shirt! and in a size 10 jeans. i wear a medium dress or 8/10 dress! so im in normal sizes so i am happy with that..
i feel great and look great! my skin is going back to normal! its toning up great and im glad bc i dont want to get a tummy tuck or anything like that. they said my skin will go back to normal bc im young so far they are right!
well nothing else to say here
