Hello! So, I think it's funny that I am led here and realize it's 37 days till our wedding...and last time I posted it was 137 days....it has gone by soo fast! I just had my appt and I have lost 212lbs. I am happy with that. I am happy with the size I am. I still wish I could have the plastic surgery to remove all of this excess skin, but it will come with God's will. I am so happy with Michael, he is so good to me. He loves me for me, not only the outside, which he tells me is beautiful, but he loves me for who I am. We are getting ready to walk down the aisle, and I think that a year ago I was wondering if I would ever meet the one for me. God is so good.
All of my bloodwork was good, and the office was thrilled with my weightloss. I am fully excited for the rest of my life to begin with Michael!! Will post wedding photos soon!

So, I realized I suck..I haven't updated in forever. I added some pictures today...I have just been so busy planning our wedding! I can't believe it....I am getting married. It's more than a dream come true that I never imagined I would be able to have....Michael loves me, thinks I am beautiful (inside and out) and is the perfect man for me that God created just for me. We are getting married in August....so in 137 days I will be posting wedding photos!! (Ok, maybe longer we do have a honeymoon to go on!)
Love to all!
Oh, I have lost 210 lbs! I am truly happy where I am...when and if I can have my skin removed I will be where I want to be...so I am just happy to be healthy and in love!!
Love to all!

Today is 14months. I can't believe how fast it has gone. So much has happened in just the past 2 months. The funny thing is.....the batteries are dead in my scales....so I have no idea how much I have lost....I know it's over 201 lbs..that was it the last time I was at the dr. I seem to have after 14months hit a small plateau. I guess it's my body catching up with me. I am trying not to worry too much about it....considering I have WELL overcome the goals and plans I had for this past year. I also see Kevin on the 22nd....I had my bloodwork done so hopefully everything is ok. I also am going to the support meeting, as there is going to be a plastic surgeon there to talk to. I am trying to remember the vitamins....really I am. I also am trying to step up the calories, I know that I have to cause I won't lose if I go into starvation mode. I have Michael now on the bandwagon making sure that I am doing what I am supposed to. I am so lucky and blessed. Thank you as always to all who support me. I appreciate and love you all.
200 lbs!!!! Are you kidding me????

WOW. All I can say, is that I NEVER thought this day would come. It is now here, and my life has changed in so many ways. I am happy, healthy, and in love. What a blessing God has given me. I am more than thankful every day.
Thank you to all who support me. I love you all.

One year! I MADE IT!!

Howdy!!
I wanted to write to you all to thank you for your support this year. I have lost WELL over the "goal" (150-160) I had for this year. I have lost 186lbs!! I have so many thoughts and ideas and things I want to do this year as compared to last year. I am happy to have reached this year goal, and think of how many more things I have left to do. I have my good days and bad days, and realize, this just means I am NORMAL. A normal girl, who has dreams and wishes and thoughts and hopes and good days and bad. I worry how I look, how people see me. I have posted new pictures of my wonderful week with my family. They were here to enjoy Disney with me. It was wonderful. I rode a carousel horse! I rode any ride I wanted to, watched shows, and never once worried about the chairs, or turnstiles, or felt "too big" to be on anything. We walked around the parks, and I wasn't tired or winded. I look at the first pictures and think, wow who was that girl, the one who could never do this. Yet, I try to always remember who she was so that I remember what I was and what and who I am becoming. I see people that haven't seen me in a while, and they are just so excited to see me....and that is a really weird feeling. I have to remind myself and everyone, that as far as I have come, I have far still to go. Again, thank you to all who have shared this journey with me, and continue on it. It's not over, it's just beginning. All my love! Angela

Today is 11 months since my surgery. The day I changed my life forever. I have lost 180lbs since that day. I posted new pictures that I actually love. I feel so good about myself now that its scary. I hate the excess skin…but I have learned to “hide” it. I am thrilled daily at the changes I have made, things I can do now. I am so happy with all I have accomplished. Anytime I get down, I look back at the before pics….and smile!!
Seriously? Wow.

Today is 10 months since the day my life changed. It's been the best 10 months of my entire life. I have now crossed from the super obese category....to the extremely obese category...to now...at 10 months the obese category. My BMI was 68....and now it's 39.9. I have lost 170lbs. That is an average sized adult male. I just am amazed at this. that is the weird thing. the daily amazement that I feel. The overwhelming feelings that I have. I went to see my primary. My triglycerides that started out at 560 just a year ago, that should have caused me heart failure....the nurse who said she didn't know how I was alive....called me yesterday to tell me my triglycerides, (normal is below 200) are now 132. No, you didn't read that wrong. they are down 428 points. That is in just 10 months. My BP with no medication since my surgery, was 130/80. A year ago it was never that low..even with medication. I sit and write and read this....and cry. I have gone from size 36 stretch pants to size 18 jeans (and wearing a belt!) I had to order 5x-6x shirts because I couldn't buy them anywhere. I am now wearing XL tshirts that I can buy anywhere! I am trying to get into the dating scene...and learning how to make sure to get my vitamins and calories all in. It's been an amazing year so far.......and I thank all who have supported me. I got a new digital camera...so hopefully will have new pics soon. I cut my hair short...(mostly to balance out the loss) and everyone LOVES it. I am being called Cute and Sassy!! ME!

Hello! I know I said I was going to do this only once a month, and I haven't been on the scale, I am waiting until the 14th for that....but I wanted to give a hello to all. I am doing ok, taking my vitamins everyday. I am also trying to hit 900 calories a day. I am buying a glider exercise machine to help me at home, because at work, I don't have time! I love my new job, and am hoping they extend my temp assignment. I am also laughing that I am so busy, I have a more full social calendar than I have in years! I have plans for every minute of my weekends it seems. I barely have time for anything! I hope all is well with everyone, and I will post again on the 14th....that will be 10 months!
