Ultimate Tae-bo
Jan 24, 2008
So I got a new DVD the other day and did it for the first time today....it's called Ultimate Tae Bo and was released for the 10th anniversary of Tae bo. It is flippin 90 minutes of hard core ass kicking stuff. And I'm extremely happy to report that I not only completed it all...but I only had to 'walk it out' once for about a minute. And 15 minutes later my resting heart rate is 54 beats per minute...LOL.
I need to hit the shower and recover....

Measurments
Jan 22, 2008
So I'll post quick while I can still find the paper. I went to the exercise chicky today and she did my 3 month measurements. I've lost a grand total of 46.4 inches off my entire body! SMACK...hows bout them apples?
Here's the breakdown...
Shoulders: 10.8 inches
Abdominal: 8 inches
Calf: 2 inches
Chest: 5.2 inches
Hips: 7.6 inches
Arm: 3.2 inches
Waist: 7.6 inches
Thigh: 2 inches
Total: 46.4 inches
We went over my exercise routine and she had no recommendations on ways to improve...just to continue what I'm doing and add back biking when it gets warm enough again. She agreed with my goal weight and said I was doing awesome.
I'll update with my official weight tomorrow morning.

Not stalled...but VERY slow this month. I started back on bcp's and am wondering if that has anything to do with it...hmmm. 30lbs the first month, 15 the second month..and 5 this month. But...my actual 3 month surgiversary isn't till the 24th.
BUT BUT BUT....I am down 50lbs as of this morning!!!!!!
I go see the exercise chicky at the hospital this morning to do my measurements which I haven't had done since July...so I'll be real curious to see the changes there. I'll update when I come home.
So I'm exactly 60 pounds from the only goal anyone has set for me which is myself..LOL. Maybe I can talk to the lady today and see if she has any ideas. I've got plenty of time to think about it I suppose.
ETA: My appointment at the hospital was canceled...hoping to reschedule for next Tuesday.

by two lbs. But I'm there baby.....sooo there.
47lbs in 11 weeks...I'll take it. I'm hoping to hit 50 lbs gone by my 3 month surgerversary.
So I puked for the first time since surgery..and you know what? It wasn't bad at all. Kind of like puking when you're drunk.....doesn't feel as bad as it does sober...LOL. It happened from not chewing something enough..
I'm now in the smallest size I've been since my early twenties. Now that's something. I've set a tenative goal for myself and I'm about 60 lbs from it. I'm hoping to reach it by 1 year out...we'll see.
Still working out...about an hour 5 days a week. I love the new Tae-bo Amped workouts. Not quite as bad as his bootcamp..but man..throwing that 4 pound bar around for an hour really works your muscles. There's nothing in the world like feeling strong.
I also talked to my PMD and told him I wanted to stop taking my cholesterol meds. He said that was fine and we'd test me in 3 months or so. Boy he'll just shit when he sees me. I was his first patient to go the the Rny process so he's a virgin to it as well...LOL.

10 weeks and stalled...again LOL

Soooo close to onderland...and stuck there for a week now. This weightloss is so strange and random and just unlike anything I've ever experienced before. It will start coming off again...but everytime I stick like this..I get nervous. In spite of everything I know...and everything I read...I worry that I'm the one that won't do it.
In other news....New Years was fantastic! It was wonderful to see old friends and just relax. We spent so much time together in our 20's that you'd think we'd be burned out on each other...but not so. I just snuggled down on with these people that have been a part of my life for so long...it was wonderful. 2008 here I come!

9 Weeks...going strong
Dec 26, 2007
Down another 4lbs this week. Onderland is so close I can taste it...maybe by New Years. 44lbs total.
Christmas was wonderful.....the children happy...Skip and I relaxed. Everything a good Christmas should be.
My new Tae-bo tapes should be here this week or next...I can't WAIT!!! It's so amazing to see the body that has been hiding under this fat layer all these years. How depressing it was to workout so hard and never see the physical results. I thank God every day that I had this surgery..

8 weeks
Dec 18, 2007
So I'm 8 weeks out today and down 40 lbs! Holy shit...I didn't stop loosing after 5 pounds...LOL. I hope we start a trend here. Four more pounds and I'll be the lowest weight I've been in about 9 years. I'm really stolked for that...can't wait!
Also ordered the new Tae-bo series..I'm hoping it gets here soon. Even though I have a VERY extensive Tae-bo library there are not that many that I do on a regular basis..and I'm eager for something new. This series looks like it will be a real ass kicker...I'm hoping anyways.
I'm feeling really well. A weird thing though...or maybe not so weird...I'm afraid to give away my clothes that are too big for me. I know in my heart that I wlll never be that size again....but in my head...I'm wanting to hold onto them 'just in case'. Crazy crazy crazy crazy.
My horomones are out of control. It's like PMS 24/7. I try and control it..but sometimes it just gets the better of me. It doesn't help that I'm spending WAY to much time at work these days...and that place doesn't do anything for my mood...LOL.

7 Weeks

Stall ended...and again...almost overnight...5 more lbs gone :). 35 total I believe.
I can't believe how my body is changing now. I'm hoping and praying that my exercise (before and after surgery) will keep me from sagging too much.
I started using Fitday.com this week and I really like it. I can track my food and exercise among other things. I'm keeping my protein between 60-90..but usually in the high 70's. I'm taking my vitamins and calcium, B-12 and almost hitting my water mark every day. I haven't noticed any hairloss yet but I'm betting it's coming. I'm doing 45-60 minutes of cardio 5-6 days a week. I use 1/2 lb weighted balls in each hand during 4 of my workouts and the other two is just me.
I feel awesome! Bouncy and energetic for the first time in years!!!!

6 weeks tomorrow
Dec 03, 2007
And I'm still stuck....LMAO. I swear..I've only lost weight 3 of my 6 weeks out of surgery. 30 lbs in 3 weeks and nothing for 3 weeks. Leave it to me to be the oddball.
I'm released from Dr. J for 3 months..and I'm very happy about that. He says I'm doing fantastic and everythings in order. He'll order labs at my next visit.
I feel great though. I'm concentrating on cardio and although the scale isn't moving...my body is. Skip said he felt hipbones for the first time on me :)
