Checking In

 Hey All- 

So here I am with my monthly check in.. wish I could say its more but I'll admit I'm busy living life!

Weightloss: 125lbs down since August of last year!! 1 more lb and it's 100 since surgery. I have not been at this weight I bet since I was about 15. The further I get out I realize how much I still need to focus and stay on plan. It's still soo easy for me stray away from it!

Today is a lazy day for me so I'm hanging in my sweats. It's amazing to think that last year at this time I would've been sitting in size 26/28 sweats and a 3x or 4x shirt... today.. size 16 and a XL t-shirt. My older brother and I were laughing because a few years ago I had boughten this hoodie and spent a bit of money on it...well.. courtesy of too much Taco Bell and other fast food it didn't fit anymore so I "handed it up" to him. Well now it can get handed back down to me, but it's a little big!! lol I've had a few experiences like this. I had saved jeans from my 1st year of college. Well I had this super cute that my dear mom spent quite a bit of money on.. when I had surgery I was soo pumped to fit into them.. well lets just say I never got to wear them because I got too small before I remembered them!! Sometimes I still feel like I'm that 356lb person. I forget that I don't need clothes to have 3x's in front of them to fit me.

I am rocking some pretty sweet excess skin on my body, but I'd rather have this than be a PLUMP!!  know as I loose the next 56lbs which will get me to 175 which is the initial goal I set for myself it's only going to get worse, but I guess thats the "price" for being healthier and I'm fine with that!! 

You could ask me anyday of the week if having VSG was a good choice... hands down best thing I could've EVER done for my life. I'm SOO happy I did this when I was 23 and didn't wait to see "IF" I could do it on my own. 

One thing that still makes me giggle every once and awhile is when I sit in  a chair somewhere that I know my ass was a little snug in before and now theres actually space between me and the chair. It's those little NSV's that are amazing! 

Anyways.. I think this is long enough.. Hope all is well with all of you!! Even though I'm not around much.. I still love you all and am SOOOOOOO appreciative of all the support and advice you've given me. YOU ALL ROCK!! 

YOU rock,  But a question about your attire today.  Is ND the only place in the Union that is not melting?  SWEATS??  The only sweats I am wearing are the rivulets running down my face as I pound around the track.  And I mean pound.  I must need running lessons because people pass me and it seems that their feet barely touch the ground and I am going bam,bam,bam.  Probably because I waited until I was 51 to start running!!  Keep checking in.  We love to see you.

 See I had the honor of the 100+ degree and humidity at the begining of last week. It's only 66 here right now! The temp dropped about 20+ degrees last night when a storm moved in. 

Great job. May you have many more giggles.

Congrats and keep up the great job!!!

Great progress and very inspiring.

I'm a newby so I don't understand all of the abbreviations.  What's an NSV?  Now Smaller Vibes?   :-)

 Non-Scale Victory.. I was clueless too when I was a newbie about abbreviations!!

Best to you on your journey!

I too have found clothes lately that I have not woren since 3 years ago.. I am hoping when winter rolls around they will not be to big for me.. I have a Wrigley field hoodie I would LOVE to wear..

I don't care though if it swallows me that I will still keep and wear.. LOL..
