Time for an UPDATE :]

Mar 31, 2010

Well, I finally got my insurance situation figured out, and I was able to get a fill in February, and another in March.
The fill in february was not very effective, and I only lost 3 pounds.  My fill in March was on the 24th, and I have noticed a great difference!  I've lost 11 pounds since then!  I'm doing great, and since I noticed the weight loss, I've found more will power!!  I'm very excited.  I'm hoping to have a very good month in April, and be @ 250 by the end of the month.
My birthday is in 8 days, and if I lose 9.3 more pounds, I will be @ 100 pounds lost!!!  It will be tough, but I've put my mind to it.  I was very disappointed that I had gained weight, and could not continue that way.

I have another filll scheduled for April 28th!!  I'll Update again before then, and let you know how I'm doing.  
Thank you for reading, thank you for the messages, and encouragment!!

Thinking...

Nov 16, 2009

I got to thinking just now, and I have been at a stand still with my weight loss.  I've lost 90 pounds, but I'm still overweight.

What went through my mind was that, I think I'm comfortable being heavy, becuase that's all I know... I've been heavy for most of my life, since I was about 9.  I don't know what it's like to be thin.  This probably sounds stupid, beucase its just the wheels turning in  my head, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this feeling before.  I feel like maybe I've been destroying my own success becuase im scared to be thin???????? Someone help :(

Good News!

Sep 01, 2009

I called my Insurance company, to try to fix my problem with the billing at my LB cetner.

They said that some of my chrages were filed out of network, and one claim wasnt filed for 7 months, so it will automatically be the offices' responsibility to take care of.  My LB center sent my bill to collections, so I'm waiting on the insurance to send me the paper work showing i only owe them 376, not 64.  The only reason it's that high is because i hadn't met my deductible in January when I had my last fill.  I'm happy to be able to get this resolved.

I also started eating better and working out again.
I've been doing this workout dvd, "walking away the pounds" It's a great system.
It's mainly walking, light kicks, side steps, but if you really get into it, you burn some serious calories!
It's great.  I've lost 3 more pounds.  I'm down to 278.9 :)

How are YOU doing?!?

Happy Bandiversary.

Jul 27, 2009

It's been 1 year, and two days since I had Lap-Band Surgery.  So much has changed.  My outlook on life is completely different.  A year ago I wanted to stay inside all day, wear a jacket everywhere i went, didnt want to be alive half the time, always walking in to the kitchen, just to do an inventory check, and of course take a snack back with me.  I was unable to fit into a pair of jeans, my bras were so tight they hurt, I had never been in a relationship, i cut a lot of people out of my life, becuase i felt so bad about who I was.  My life was going no where.  Those days are gone forever.  I've lost 82 pounds, I don't wear a jacket unless it's cold, I'm comfortable talking to people about my weight.  Before, only my bestfriend and doctor knew how much i weighed.  I wouldnt even tell my mom.  When I went to a restraunt, I always sat at a table, not a booth, becuase I couldnt always fit in a booth.  I wouldnt buy new clothes, or go out with friends.  I love going out with friends, I love getting new clothes, and finding smaller sizes.  I'm more outgoing and comfortable with myself.  My little brother can hug me and wrap his arms all the way around me.  My family has all started to loose weight and get healthy with me and it's so exciting!  I love my new life, and it gets better and better everyday.

I'm so mad I could scream

Jul 15, 2009

I haven't had a fill in a long time, so i called my lap band office to schedule an appt.
The lady placed me on hold and came back saying I owed 810$ and in order to make an appt, I need
to pay at least 1/2 of that.
This is freaking ridiculous, My insurance should be paying for most of this.  I only had to pay my deductible of
600$ to have surgery, a year ago, then in Jan I get a bill for 324$ from the anesthesiologist.... paid that.

I tried to call my insurance co. but they were pretty much no help.

I'm living on my own, I make about as much money as I spend on bills, and I just don't know what to do

HELP!

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.

Please no age spots, Please no gray.
And as for my belly, Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord, For all that you've done.

 

Five tips for a woman....


1.        It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.
2.        It is important that a man makes you laugh.
3.        It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to You.
4.        It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.
5.        It is important that these four men don't know each other!


Foot Note:

One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."

Happy to Report

Jun 24, 2009

So, now that I have "taken the trash out", I can focus on me, myself and I.

Yesterday,  I had a good day.  I had Special K cereal (fruit and yogart) I highly reccommend it, i with a glass of orange juice.
I snacked on some wheat thins later in the day.  For lunch I had tuna and 5 crackers.  Then I had a 100 calorie treat.
When I got off work, I hit the  gym for 30 min. I came home and ate a chicken alfredo lean cuisine and a small bowl of mixed veggies.  Later I had a 20 calorie Ice pop. Yum!   I felt very proud of myself!

This past fathers day, i spent the day with family, in the pool and cooking out.
Both sides of the family came over, it was a full house!

My family said when they saw me in my swimsuit, they could really see the difference in my body.  It's been almost 80 pounds ago since they saw me in one.  I feel so much better.
I still want to loose 100 more pounds, so i'm gonna keep on truckin'.

BMI -- 49.8

Jun 18, 2009

Finally below 50! That's great.  It' the little things that make me happy obviously.

I can't figure out how to get my BMI to update on my profile.  There used to be a place where you could put your height and weight, now there is only a place for your height. 

I've lost a few pounds, and had a few set backs...bad break-ups are not good when you're trying to be healthy :(
Those jack in the box tacos just scream my name, and those pesky milk shakes. 

 naughty naughty me

I'll do better, I promise.
