Here it is November already. I am 10 months post op and weighed in at 183 this morning. Yikers. I am feeling really great. I can do so much. In less than a year I have gone from Super Obese to overweight. wow. My life is always a zoo with 4 kids. My job is crazy as well. As the weight comes down I find that I am more concerned with holding in my stomach and making sure I stand up straight. It is just something I noticed. Protein, vitamins are still a huge part of my thought process. The numbers on the scale are important, but not the same as before. I wonder what life has to offer and I have accomplished other things since my surgery that I never thought I could do. I have finished a quarter of school. I can now fit in a plane seat. My shoes are becoming heals. This is fun so far. I find that men talk to me. That is scarey. I work on being a good person and not moving my addictions to shopping or drinking. I have had drinks 3 times since my surgery. So far that is fine. I like to shop though. I go to thrift stores because it is fun now. I can find things that fit me. That is a new thing too.

Thought I should have one of these on my blog somewhere. I am getting close to where I want to be. It is nuts. I went shopping with my daughter Holly yesterday and bought a pair of liz claiborne slacks in a size 16. That is crazy. I'm jumping between 189 and 192 right now. I am hoping that just getting done with school and getting through the weather change that my loss will continue. I would like to be very close to goal by my 1 year anniversary of my surgery. That is December 26. So I am kind of getting a bit stricter on myself right now. I have been crazy with life and school and the girls and just stuff. So Now it is time to kick that last 30 or 40 pounds to the curb. I am looking very forward to maintaining and keeping the clothes the same size. I need to get some new pics taken, because I don't look like the pictures that are on my avatar.

I weighed in at 196 this morning. I have been making the excercise effort try and pay off. I have also started giving myself weekly goals. Not so much weight loss goals, but excercise goals. I do give myself weekly weightloss goals now. I slacked big and I payed. I know this, but tooka month off from doing the right excerciseing and making sure I ate enough. My thing isn't over eating it is not eating. Wow what a difference that is. So just really making myself be on track has resulted in a pound and a half. That works. I have less than 50 to lose. I haven't been this small in 21 years. So there you go. We are on our way. New life new body.

Today I weighed in at 197.5. I have been lazy with my excercise and decided I needed to start making goals for myself. Yesterday I took a walk with my daughter and I did my 2 mile walk away the pound tape. I need to kick it up a notch now. It is funny how I just expected the weight to continue to come off with no effort. Well I guess I was wrong. So I have made some small goals to keep myself going. I was getting a bit too comfortable with the 100 pounds off and letting myself sit there. I am weighing daily again and that keeps me responsible. I want to get to 150. The last 45 pounds are going to be tougher because I am so used to not hitting my goals. It isn't the size that so much is the issue as the fact that I have never hit that goal and stuck there. So this is my opportunity. I see that this surgery is the tool not the motivator.

Wednesday morning and I'm still at 200 pounds. Yikes this is my first real plateau. I'm not too frustrated other than I would love to get in the 1's. I wiped out on my heeleys yesterday and I'm pretty banged up this morning. Stiff, but still walking so that is a huge change. I will wait until the swelling in my knee goes down before I get back on them. I can't believe that I can do this stuff. It is so fun. I am turning in to this new person that likes to do stuff and can't wait to try another thing. So we will see what this new life brings. It is fun and I am getting closer to my daughter. That is the best part. Rachel and I are getting to be better than ever. School starts soon and she is getting excited.

Tuesday morning and this month is over. I am at 200 pounds even, so only a couple of pounds this month. I am not worried because the sizes seem to change and I see my body shape change. I am 7 months out and down a total of 104 pounds. Can't beat that. Things have been very busy. School, work, and my daughter is in a play that opens on Friday. I have tons to do before that date. So that would be why I don't post much. I'm busy living. I need to keep closer touch with this website. It makes a difference.

It has been a fun weekend so far. I have stuck at my 203 and have started my monthly cycle, so that is good. No weight gain this month. I played tennis twice this weekend and was amazed at how my body can move now. It is really hot, so today I want to make sure that I have enough fluid to keep me hydrated. We are going to a parade and I want to make sure i don't get sick. It was over 100 degrees yesterday with high high humidity. Hard to be outside in that. I got to see Nikki and Holly and Rachel at my mom's yesterday it was a joy. I smiled the whole day.

Well I am down to 203. So I guess I am still losing weight. Kind of fun. I thought I would be stuck for a couple of weeks. I try not to weigh every day. It is hot today and I am spending 4 hours with Nichole and then picking up the girls to take them to my sisters for a bonfire. This is going to be a great day.

Well today is my 6 month anniversary. I went to the surgeon and I am officially down to 207. I have 57 pounds to go. I will measure later today and add pictures. I am very excited. It has been a hell of a ride this past 6 months, and I looke even more forward to the next 6. All my appointments have been just check ups. No sick visits. This is the best. 
I will keep doing what I have been doing, but add even more excercise in. I am down 97 pounds and can't believe how great I feel. I have lost 78.75 inches. 9 inches off my waist. 11 1/2 off my hips. this is amazing.
