6 months out.. time flies..

I am 6 months out today :)

I am down 86 pounds!
no mini goals at the moment

I am reached my second goal of 160 on May 12

I have 18 pounds left to go to get to Goal

I wear a size 10 jeans but they are getting loose..

and my BMI has gone from 41.8 to 27.1
Extremely obese to Overweight


All in all I dont care if I dont lose another pound, everything I've ever wanted to be able to do I can do.. I love being able to go into a store and find my size in anything I chose and not worrying if its too tight or makes me look bad.. I wear dresses and skirts.. which I have never done unless I had to.. 

My husband piggy backed me around the house for the first time ever it was a thrilling experience and nice for him to say that I am light as a feather, I better be careful or I will blow away haha.. 

I eat whatever I want without any problems, I dont eat rice or noodles because they fill me up to much.. I can however eat sushi rolls with no problem I can have about 2-3 of those.. I also dont eat many sweets.. Sunflower seeds are still and have become more of an addiction of mine.. and I am also now addicted to Thrift stores It has been my best friend while losing the weight..

The weight loss has slowed a lot.. but I am not complaining at all.. I am the happiest I have been in a looooooong time :)

THEN: 244


NOW: 158

OMG you look great.... I have to ask..... Any hair loss???????

 yes.. I think that is inevitable its not as bad as I thought it was going to be but ive been going nautral the entire 6 months.. Half wigs have become my new best friend.. 

You were BEAUTIFUL in your first pic, but you're absolutely GORGEOUS in the last pic! OMG, you look great!! I hope to have as much success as you have!! Do you mind telling me what type of routine/meal planning you follow??

 To be honest I dont follow anything, I eat whatever I feel like at the time, I still cook regular meals for my family and just pick out what I can eat and dont touch what I can not eat.. I dont get hungry so I eat cheese or rolled up meat.. sometimes ill fry up some chx in olive oil and eat that.. I eat lots of fruit.. 

I make sure to eat protein over anything and I drink fluids constantly..  seafood has become my other best friend I can seem to eat more of it than anything else.. I dont obsess over calories but I do cook with fresh ingredients, I dont eat out as much if at all.. I make my own chinese food my own pizza because I know it will taste good and be healthier for me and my family.. I know it works for me as I am continuing to lose and so are others around me..

to me its not what you eat but how much and how often.. 

You look fabulous!! You really look happy and healthy. I'm really proud of you. If I remember right, didn't you move soon after having your surgery?

 yes 2 months after surgery I made the big move from Georgia to Germany.. I honestly think the moved helped a lot because you dont see fast food at every corner instead you see fresh markets..

way to go, you look amazing!

Looking good wow

You look amazing and your daughter is so beautiful - you can see she is so proud of you!
