It's me again.  I haven't been on here for awhile because there is really nothing new to report.  I had a 3 month flex up and down from 148 to 140 but today I got on the scale and I am at 135 lbs.  This is 5 lbs less than my goal and this was the weight that I didn't want to go under.  I am feeling great.  Emotionally has been a little different.  But that has nothing to do with the weight loss at all I promise.  I have more self confidence than ever before and that is a great feeling for me.  I feel like I can do anything. 

Well I have some good news for me however many of you will think differently.  I have been stuck on this rock for my entire life.  I am moving to Vegas by next summer.  I am starting to clean my home and talking to a Realtor.  I just need a fresh start with out all this crap that is here on this small little island where everyone knows somebody.  I am tired of it.  I bought my townhouse 8 years ago at 200 K and now it is worth $400k however I am going to try and sell at $300 as is.  I really don't want to stress about getting the carpets and tiles done.  My mortgage right now is at $2200 with the maintenance fees and I just can't afford it anymore.  So my husband who is also born and raised here finally agreed to the move.  My best friend lives there so I will fit in very well.  I can't believe how cheap the homes there are and how beautiful.  You will get a 950 square foot house here that was built in 1950's and still pay $700K for it.  It is just outrages here.

I am ready for a new beginning and feeling great!!!

Today is a great day.  I got on the scale and it said 140.3 lbs.  This makes me at goal. 100 pounds lost.  I will not say forever becasue I need to watch myself.  Maintenance will be the hardest thing.  I lost weight really easy so now I have to make sure to keep it that way.  I love to eat junks and that is a bad bad thing.  I love to party with my friends so again alcohol is another bad thing.  No beer that stuff is really bad.  I love my Malibu and Pineapple Juice.  Yummy.  Thank god I don't dump!!! 

My husband loves to spend time with me and he is a sweetheart now.  He thinks that he has to watch himself because I can find anyone.  I told him that he loved me big and that I will love him when I am thin.  I have so much self esteem now.  Before I told him that I had good self esteem but come to think about it I never did.  I am who I am now and love it.  He sees that I dress differently and I told him this is the way I always wanted to dress.  The only thing is that I had to buy what ever fit.  Now I can buy anything anywhere.  I love it.  SHOPPING!!! I am still upset that he took my credit card but now he has to go shopping with me. 

I quit Taco Bell 3 days ago.  I thought that spending my time at home is worth more than any PT job.  I make good money at my day job.  I just have to watch my spending now.  Since I am not going down in sizes anymore I should be ok.  Just a new outfit here a pair of shoes there.  Shouldn't be a problem.

Ok Guys thanks for stopping by.

Ok I was caught in the act of partying really hard.  Here is a night out with me!!!



These were taken this past Saturday Night....

I haven't lost any weight for 4 weeks so I thought that I would make me feel better by posting some before and after shots of myself.  After seeing these I do feel better.

  2008 New Years 260 lbs

 
Always showed the boobs.  That is the only thing I actually liked about being big.

  Me now!!! 144 lbs



I came a long way and don't want to ever go back!!!

Aloha,

Well there really isn't anything to say about the weight.  I am holding steady and I am fine with that.  I think I keep saying that so that I believe it.  I have been making bad food and drinking decisions but that is going to come to an end.  My gf just went back to Vegas yesterday so back to good food and exercising.  No more drinking and taking shots for awhile??? Well I think we will see.  My weekend was so busy.  We had our Last Friday Night Outing with my gf and some other friends.  It was a blast there was a total of about 30 people we knew there.  I was table hoping.  If you are on my FB you can see all the pictures.  Please no comments about WLS nobody knows.

These are the Friday Night Pictures.



Me and my handsome husband.

Well first lets talk about weightloss.  What weightloss? I am in a stall and I am totally fine with it.  My lowest was 142 but today I was 147.  This is ok.  I am totally fine with it.  My girlfriend has been in town and I am having a ball.  I will get back on track in 2 weeks but for now I will have fun.  Exercise??? I haven't exercised in 3 weeks so of course its my fault that the last 8 lbs are not coming off. 

Here of some pictures of me and girlfriends.




This was a day at the Temples with all these children.  This is 3.5 families.  My girlfriends and I watched all of them.
The other mother had to stay home and watch her other children.

Well yesterday was my exercise class and as usual I weigh in.  I was at 142 lbs.  My BMI was 40 and now it is 23.6.  This journey is so amazing.  I am 2 lbs away from goal and 100 lbs lost.  OMG what a feeling.  I am trying to up my calories so that I don't lose to much anymore.  I need to eat 1416 calories a day just to maintain so that is what I am going to start to do. 

Yesterday I went to Savers (2nd hand store) and bought two more pairs of jeans.  I am now a size 5/6.  This is just crazy I just wanted to be a size 10.  I really don't want to be any smaller than a 5/6.  So maintenance is what I am going to do. 

My girlfriend from Vegas came down this morning. I haven't seen her for a year.  She was like wow Asia you look fantastic.  Your face looks the same you are just skinny now.  I still try not to talk about it.  We went out to breakfast and she share her plate with me.  She said she wasn't very hungry.  I didn't eat to much but I did show her that I could eat anything that she can.  I had 1/2 wheat toast, 1/2 scrammbled egg I think less, 2T corned beef hash and 2T of hashbrowns (looked more like cubed potatos.  And just to show her I had one bite of a pancake cause I can. 

This is going to be one great weekend I just know it.

Ok well I went drinking last Saturday ok what's new but whenever I go out I always weigh myself.  I am a slave to that dam scale.  Well I got on and it read 146.  I was like ok sounds about right.  Well I partied like a rockstar and got toasted.  I shouldn't have taken that last shot.  It was my third and it wasn't a harsh one either.  Well in the morning I got on the scale and it read 142.7.  I was like that is to much weight to drop in one night.  Let me tell you I drank so much water that day to rehydrate myself.  By bed time I was at 145 and this morning I was at 144 so yes after drinking you need to rehydrate yourself better yet don't drink.  No I am not having changed addictions unless you count shopping at 2nd hand stores.  I like to drink on weekends however I don't do it every weekend only on special occasions.  My girlfriend is coming home on Thursday so we will be partying.

Kanani came from Maui on Friday so I got to see her.  She looks fabulous here are some pictures of us.  Kanani is 3 months out and I am 6 months.  I bet she is going to be smaller than me in the end.  She is doing fantastic.

Ok well I am at the 6 month mark the honeymoon is now over and I am super happy to be at this mark.  Some how I grew .5" so that made my BMI on my TANIA report better.  I weighed in yesterday at 146 lbs and my BMI was 24.4.  I am just thinking I am standing tall now with my head up high. (not the nose) Let me post my measurements for the last 6 months.

A grand total of 80.75 inches that is over 6 feet of lost fat.  I am so happy that I was able to do this.  I want to thank my PCP for planting that seed in my head to do WLS.  I didn't want to do it at first but because he planted that seed I did my research and did the rny.  I am so glad I did.  I feel great, I look great and for the first time I actually love myself.  I am not trying to be vain it is just how I feel. 

I lost another 4 lbs this week however because I gained 3 lbs last week I am really only counting 1 lb lost and that is all good for me.  I need to get back to basics.  I have been eating foods not good for me so before work today I went to the store and I bought me some baby carrots, Wheat Thins Fiber (I will only eat 8 a day) and some cheese o ya and some cream cheese spread for my carrots.  BTW it is low fat.  I just need to leave the dam mochi crunch and maui potato chips alone.  I notice I only snack on these foods when no one is around.  I don't do it when my co-workers are around, the children the dh and expecially not in front of friends.  I guess I need to tie a friend to me so I will follow the rules. 

I told my nut what I eat and even told her about the treat I take.  She told me that its not good however I don't go over the calorie intake.  I told her I make room for cheating.  If I don't eat enough during the day I will cheat at the end.  You know the 3 squares of Herseys Dark Chocolate that has 180 calories.  Well if my calorie intake is only 700 I take that and bam 880.  With in range.  I know it is bad but hey I am human.  This wls is not supose to be a huge diet that you are never allowed to cheat on.  Its a way of life and if I want to eat a chocolate chip cookie I will however that means more veggs no carbs like crackers that day.  No big deal.

Ok well my PT traininer wants me to make time to exercise.  I have be slacking but I been so busy and running around.  I don't watch TV very much now days.  Before I was on that couch 24/7 on weekends.  Now I am lucking to get in 1 hour.  I love my life.

I will check in next week to let you know how my blood work goes.  I met with Dr. Fowler on Friday than on Monday with my Plastic Surgery Consultant.  I can't wait.
