Post Date: 2/17/09 8:14 pm WWWWOOOOOHHHHOOOO I am 1 year out as of Sunday!! Been Kinda stuck lately but I know it is my own fault **** Carbs!! But man What a difference a year makes WOW I am 108 lbs down I hit MY goal several months ago and kinda been slacking since then. I am now trying to kick it back in gear and lose the last 10-15 lbs. I have gone from a size 26W snugg to a 14 snugg 16 loose from 3X to L shirts from a 44 DD to a 36 D I can't find my book to check how many inches I have lost but as of my 9 month mark it was 56 inches I have lost several more since then I am sure. That is just my chest, stomach, hips, arms and thighs. I know some go all out and do wrist ankles you name it but I didnot I do wish I had done my neck because I know there is no telling how many inches I have lost just in my neck. I have no trouble eating Eat everything! Gas some times, BM a couple a day always in the morning sometime one later in the day. Labs are good!! All co morbs GONE within about 2 months. Would like a TT and my girls perked up but I'll have to wait and see. I am gearing up for summer Soft ball I will be coaching again this year and Sand drags (4-Wheeler) racing starts this month!!!! My DH actually bought me a Racing jersey!! I can't wait to beat my brothers!! Long story short DS gave me back my life at least my spark for life! I would of never done this before at 280lbs! Would I do it again HELL YES in a heartbeat!! If I had to do it once a year to stay just were I am now I would still do it. Any regreats yea getting lazy the last few months and not going ahead and loosing these last few pounds. Am I happy with my results YES!!!!! if I never loose another lbs I am HAPPY! Thank you all so much for everything you have done over the last year and half! You all have saved me so many times! I love this site! I love my DS!!! I'll try to get some new pics up soon! |
8 months out
Oct 10, 2008
I am 8 months out and I have to say it has been really good. I am 1or 2 lbs away from my goal and 100lbs lost and 15 away from my Dr. goal. I a super skinny every where except my stomach I have NO ass to speak of whatsoever!!! If I can just loss my belly fat. I I could move my belly to my but I would be built like a brick House !! How many women are saying that LOL!! I have not lost much these last few months I know the CARB monster is a killer so I know it is my fault.and I have to kick the carbs, man they are just SO good. I guess I'll have to brake down and excercis I am just against sweating, But let face it that was part of how I endedup 280 lbs to begin with. I am wearing regular 18 loose and 16 snug XL big and large about right. I've lost 12 inches just of my belly. Not bad I would do it all again in a heart beat even with some gas and some very seldom bathroom issues it is totally worth it! Thank you all!

Post Date: 5/4/08 9:07 pm Hello All, Updates first, I am doing good I have lost 53 lb, been on a bit of a stall the last week but I had to expect it sometime. Not a lot to say I got some new clothes now in loose 22 got some shorts with drawstrings so I can wear them awhile! , fit in to a booth with a lot of extra room , DH is loving the lesser me although he loved the old me to. I am loving loving him without 50 lbs stuck between us LOL!!! I am coaching my Twins Baseball team we had our 1 st game yesterday and we WON!!! It was really cool!! Then we came home a practised sp? I would of NEVER tried any of that before DS!! My girls are SO proud their Mom is the coach , So am I!!! Kinda sick of protien, but I know I have to so no reason to grip LOL!! Having some skin problems look at back post and I am going to get so Vit A and Zinc. I also want to go ahead and get Vit D while I order I need to know how much of each I should take a day So I'll know what to order?? Also I need a GOOD sports Bra. My girls are getting skinner to HAHA and I got one but it is not seperated or molded at the cup area and it make my girls look crazy. It push them down and to the midddel where is kinda sticks out and looks like a crazy long boob running across my chest. I know TMI but I need a GOOD Sports Bra that lifts seperates and SUPPORTS! Thanks for all your help!!!! |

Topic: Bad day and GB ?????
Today has been a crap day I have had to FORCE my self to eat nothing taste good. Nothing sounds good YUK! I am a little hungry but I don't want anything. I suppose this is normal? All I really want is Gatoraid sp? And I know I should not be drinking much of it but it taste good. . Second part how much did you lose in the first month? third I still have my GallBladder and have to go on actigal sp? How much do you take a day? How many of you had to have your GB taken out down the road? I actually ask them to go ahead and take mine out but they would not. Thanks Shelly

Topic: RE: I have the DUD DS! (long)
I am feeling the exact same way. OMG what if I am not doing this right I don't think I am losing enough, I just keep teeling myself to calm down it will happen but man it is stressful to think you went through all this and then you ar NOT Rocking the DS. I went to my PCP today and according to there scale I had only lost. 16 lb I liked my scales better. I have not got to get weighted on the scales at Dr. Stwearts office yet to see what his say sine they are the one I am basing my starting weight on. Anyway I am going with my home scales since I will be weighing witht hem from now on. Hang in there we too will be Skinny DS B*tCHes LOL one of these days real SOON!
