Well it has been another month and I am so excited... I lost another 8 lbs .. now that is not as fast as I want it to be off ..or as fast as the other months but let me remind you I had surgery Feb 9th and I have lost a total of 91 lbs.. that means I have 18 more to go !!!! I have a new goal I wanted to be 170lbs but my goal now is to do this before my birthday Aug 26th.. I think it is a good goal.. and Aug 9th it will be 6 months for me.. so I think that is good timing..so lets see that gives me 9 lbs for july and 9 lbs for aug.. I can do it! I know I can.. my next step is to review if I need or want a tummy tuck..,I feel I do want it but I am worried about the recovery time as I can get it in as early as october but my help leaves for 15 months this fall and I am a little worried.
On my way!

weight is slowing down
May 14, 2007
well it has been a few days since I posted a blog I guess I was a little upset that I was stuck at 205 ,but today I weighed myself and I was 204. I think I went back up to 206 so that bumed me out, but a pound is a pound so even if it takes me the rest of my life to get the rest of this 35 lbs off atleast its coming off YEAH ! I bought a size 12 dress the other day at a garage sale and that is my next goal. I think I am in about an 18/20 right now which is good since i was in a 24/26 when I started. so this will be fun. I will let yall know and I will take a picture of myself in the dress!!!

The amazing shrinking woman
May 07, 2007
Well as most of you who know me, know I have struggled with my weight for all of my life. I was a chubby kid! I lost a lot of weight in high school and by my senior year I was were I wanted to be , but after high school I did what everyone does I slowed down and I started gaining weight again. I was 200lbs when I got married and over the years have gone down and up like the yo-yo they call it. Two years ago I lost 100lbs and was feeling great, and then found out I was pregnant. This was what I had always wanted. Well in the last 2 years I have again struggled with the weight gain. So I took the big plunge and got Gastric Bypass on February 9th. It was a hard struggle at first. Please know it was a hard decision that I did not take lightly. But the best decision I have made in a long while. I started at 279lbs and in the first week after surgery lost 17lbs. It has been 2 months and 17 days and collectively I have lost 66 lbs I am now 213lbs. I am so glad and also proud of myself for the first time in 2 years. I will keep all of you updated as for my goal you ask well its 170lbs. Can't wait to be there !!!
