Well, I am slow to get moving on my re-start of my weight loss journey.  I now believe the journey will be never ending and will always be something I will have to be super conscious of what I put in my body and exercising.  Life is good, no complaints, but for 2011 just want to get back down to the 140s.

Take care cyber space!

I have managed to gain some weight back.  Not happy about that.   I still cannot eat a whole lot at meal time, but i find myself grazing and grazing.  4 years ago, my life was a mess.  I was single, just got out of a very bad and dangerous relationship.  Now i have good man, but I find myself still not satisfied with my life.  It is so much better, dont get me wrong.  I just feel a void in my life that I seem to not be able to fill.  I currently weight 166, as of Sunday.  I want  to get back down to 140,which was my 100 pounds.  I will get back there.

Just wanted to update just to keep myself in check. I am weighing 152 pounds the last few weeks. I know I have been eating more than the 1200 cals that I am supposed to....I had to take a part-time job and I do think that it sabotages my diet. I would like to get to 135 but if I could lose 10 more pounds, I would be settled. My personal life is okay. I am trying to stay single, for a change......I should feel okay being single, but it is an adjustment. I keep stressing to myself to just focus on the things I have and not the things I don't have. This works for me most of the time. My goals for 2008 is to be more financially responsible, get out of debt, be a better mom, and finish the weight loss thing.

Take care to anyone who reads this!

Who would ever have thought in less than a year I would be down 80 pounds? My 38th birthday is less than a week away and for the first time, I accomplished one of my goals in time for my next birthday. I always wished to lose weight in the "next" year. Thanks to gastric bypass, I am pretty close to my goal. So much is different since last year. I have a new boyfriend, new outlook, new me!

Anyway, as far as a mini-goal, I hope to be down 10 pounds by the time I go to Jamaica in December. I leave on December 1st. So, I hope to be 149 pounds then. Can I do it? Only time will tell!

I am currently at 166.5 and feel like it is very hard to lose weight.  I am going to try to log my calories this week to make sure I don't go over 1500 calories.  i think I am still supposed to eat about 1200 calories, but I am not sure.  I am going to email the dietician at St. Vincent's to verify.  

I have had lots and lots of comments of my weight loss and sometimes i feel very awkard and uncomfortable about the attention.  I went to a friend's birthday party last week and actually mentioned ot the hostess that I don't want a lot of questions, that I just want to blend in.  In retrospect, she probably was thinking that was selfish of me, but I really just don't want the attention.  It is hard to explain.

Don't get me wrong, I like it when the fellas notice it, like my boyfriend.  I saw him for the first time in months and he just couldn't believe it.    

So, I am going to refocus this week, exercise, drink the water, etc.

Life is good for me.  I took a leap of faith this week and got rid of all the old clothes that no longer fit me.  I kept saying, what if I gain all my weight back, and then I said hell no! 

As of last sunday, I am down 52 pounds to 190 pounds.

I can now tell a difference in my size.  I am very happy!!!!

I have finally lost some more weight.  I am down to 203.5.  I feel very happy and actually more motivated to continue healthy life choices.  I think I am going to finally retire two pairs of work pants.  They look rather sloppy on me since they are very baggy in the legs.  

In other news, my prescription for nuvaring was not covered by my health insurance.  Funny how they could approve surgery but not help me out with birth control.  Anyway, I bought the prescription out of pocket, it was only $40.  I would hate to get pregnant after losing weight and not finishing my weight loss.

I am down to 209.  I have hit a stall the last couple of weeks.  I  know I shouldn't worry too much about it because I don't think I am blowing it.  Well, maybe the extra wheat thins at night might not be helping, but his week I swear I will just have fruit when hungry at night.  

It is hard for me to believe still that this is working.  I will believe it when I am down 50 pounds.  At this rate, I might not get there for a while yet, like summer time.

Other than that, it is freezing in Cleveland today and I wished my job would have told me to stay home. Yeah, right.

I am happy to report that today I weighed 212 pounds.  This is at almost 9 weeks out.  I am very happy!   I introduced crystal lite to my fluid intake and it tastes so good.  I am getting tired of regular water so I thought I would mix it up.

I feel good.  I feel the same as I did before surgery now.  It is amazing to me how the body can recover.  Unfortunately, last night, I had a hypoglicemic attack at the local grocery store. I must start carrying protein bars around with me.  I have lost 27 pounds to date(as of Monday).  I only weigh in on the weekends so I hope I continue to lose.
