16 months out....and what a journey it has been

Jun 14, 2012

im 4 days away from being 16 months out...what a journey it has been...im down offically to 140...so ive lost 133 pounds...and i feel amazing. I now by XS dresses from target and im siked about that.  This journey has been amazing, crazy, stressful and most importantly at all life changing....and let me not forget lonely....i have lost so many friends because of the life changing decisions i made, i sometimes wonder if this surgery was worth it...but i know deep down it was def worth it not only for me but for my beautiful kids that mean so much to me and need me more than my friends would ever have needed me.  its lonely but with MY GOD and kids your never alone!!!! im blessed and cant complain.  In this journey my husband has even changed, and thats fine with me so now im getting used to it being just me and the kids which is taking some time to get used to....BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD HAS A PLAN FOR ME!!!!

almost 13 months out!!!

Mar 10, 2012

yay I am offically 2 weeks and 1 year out!!! Im so excited...i started out at 273 and I am at...144.....thats 129 pounds lost.....I love the new body that I have and all the pain and fear i had i wouldnt change it for anything, i would do it again in a heartbeat.  I thank god for being with me during my whole journey, its sad but I have lost a lot of friends during this last year.  I would hate to say its because ive lost weight and they are jealous, but sometimes I sit back and think its for the best. Now im working on toning up my body especially my thighs and my tummy and arms....I was a size 22 jeans now i am a size 10 jeans, and a Medium shirt all from the juniors department.

24 WEEKS OUT NEXT WEEK

Aug 05, 2011

Ill be 24 weeks out on monday, as of today I have lost 92 pounds.....Im excited but my goal was to lose 100 pounds by my 6 month mark.....but I am overjoyed by the progress that I have made.  I was a size 24 and weighting 268 and 6 months later I am 177 and i can wear a size 14 (thanks to my big butt)....But im very statisfied with that. This jorney hasbeen quite an experience but I wouldnt change it for anything in the world, I remember my first two weeks being hell, then it slowly got better, i used to regret his surgery so much but now I am so thankful for god for allowing to me make it through and come as fast as I have.  I am actually smaller now than I was in high school, I tried on my prom dress and it was really too big.....THANK YOU JESUS i GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY, NOBODY BUY YOU,  GLORY TO HIS NAME...... I am so happy at where I am not, i love my new shape, and just need to tone up my arms and thighs, my drs goal is 153 for me but im shooting for at least 12 more pounds.....but ive hit a stall the last 2 weeks, ive only lost 1.1 pound, so next week im going back to the basics....starting over from scratch to get my body back on track.....

its offically I will be 17 weeks out tuesday!!!!

Jun 19, 2011

I had my weeks all mixed up, I will be 17 weeks out on tuesday!!!and i am down 76 pounds, I now weight  192!!!!and im so excited....so Ive been going out for the last month, and last week I brought a size 14 (that stretchs) but I am in between a regular 14 and 16.....I look at my old pictures and I am amazed at how little I look.  My biggest thing is getting attention from men....I went to the club last night and I got so many compliments last night, and it felt good, that was an instant confidence booster.  I am SOOOOOO loving my pouch and it loves me.....I am able to eat beef, chicken, shrimp, veggies, pretty much just about anything, the only thing that I tend to stay away from is fried, fatty, greasy food, Im still learning so occasionally I may eat one of the kids chips, here and there, or a bite of their mac and cheese, but overall I think I do pretty well.  I hope everyone has a blessed week.

13 weeks out and I'm........62 pounds down!!!!!!!

May 23, 2011

I am 13 weeks out today......and I am proud to say that i am finally adjusting to my new pouch. Ive lost 62 pounds from the morning of my surgery.  And it has not been easy at all, but soooo worth my weight loss. I was going to the gym 5 days a week and walking in the am, but the last couple of weeks my great grandmother and my great aunt died within 1 week of each other so have really been traveling.  And we are just now starting to get back on track.  My energy level has sky rocketed and now I am now able to run after my 7 year old son. I am so happy with how everything is going, so far, I have 43 pounds more to reach before I reach my goal of 165!!!!!!

everyone keep up the good work!!!

17 days out!!

Mar 09, 2011

Yay im 17 days out and I feel wonderful!!! This has truly been a good week!! I'm still having to remind myself to take all of my vitamins.  But I AM TIRED OF CRYSTAL LIGHT!!!!!! i cant even drink anymore, and water feels like metal in my stomach. So Ive resorted to using 4 ounces of tropicana orange juice, and 12 ounces of water in my 2 cup bottle,the flavor isnt that strong but is heavier on my tummy than water, so that helps me get my 48 ounces plus some down.  Ive been walking .7 of a mile every other day, after my post visit to the dr hopefully he will give me the go ahead to start back at the gym, i would really enjoy that.  I HOPE EVERYONE IS HAVING A GOOD WEEK
