18 Months Post Op - AVON

Nov 06, 2008

Hi All
I am not sure that many still check my site but I just wanted to check in. Unfortunately I haven't lost anymore weight. I have been stuck at the same thing for months. I go back and forth between 220-230. It sucks! I hate that it stopped falling off but I know that I need to start exercising more and I could probably get down to my goal.
I also wanted to let everyone know I started selling Avon. For any of you that are interested I have my own Avon website:
www.youravon.com/amandamoore and you can order from there and choose direct delivery and if you contact me I can get you a code for free shipping. Also this is a great time of year to start selling. You make 50% on your first 4 campaigns. Extra Christmas money! : ) If anyone is interested send me a message and I will get you all the information!
Hope everyone is doing well! Take care!
Amanda


15 months post op - Update

Aug 08, 2008

For those of you that still check in on my site I have updated with some new pictures. Not too much different since the last pictures. However I had been having a lot of stomach pains and back pains. I had been to see my primary doctor numerous times and my mom finally mentioned maybe I should go see my surgeon because they continued to say nothing was wrong. Thank god for my mom. I saw my surgeon 2 weeks ago and he said he wished I would have come to him sooner. He said it sounded like an internal hernia, however before he did the surgery to repair that he wanted to check my gall bladder. He did that and it wasn't working correctly. Therefore a week ago I had surgery and had my gall bladder removed and he also fixed the internal hernia. I have been out of work for a week and am bored out of my mind but the nausea I have had since surgery has been very extreme and I am hoping it is over now so I can get back to normal life. I am happy to have all this taken care of and am hoping that maybe my weight will continue to move now. Anyway that's all for now. Hope everyone is well! Take care!

11 month post op - coming close to a year!

Apr 23, 2008

I don't update this page as much as I use too! Sorry for all of you that check it to see how I am doing.
I am proud of how far I have come but I still have so much more I want to do. I would like to lose somewhere between 30-50 more. I seemed to have stop losing and kind of stuck around the same few pouds for awhile. 
However I haven't been exercising and that is something I really want to get back into doing. Especially with it being the summer. I am hoping that will help me to reach my goal. 
Sometimes I feel like my pouch has stretched because sometimes I eat more than I think I should have been able too but other times 2 bites of something and I feel completely full. So I am glad to know it is till working.
Thanks to all my family and friends who have supported me on this journey! I love you!

Updated Pics

I have now updated my pictures. (Actually my brother has - thanks Jason - for some reason I have trouble uploading pics on here). I am at 230 and would like to lose at least 40 more but 65 more would be awesome!

Sorry it's been so long!

Jan 28, 2008

Sorry for all of you that check my site (especially you Pilar) that I haven't written in so long or posted any pictures. 
I have just been so very busy with everything. The new job, school, and planning this wedding. 25 days until the big day! I am really excited! A friend of mine is doing the flowers and I got a picture of my bouquet yesterday and just loved it so much! It was beautiful!
I am still losing weight but it seems to be slower and slower. Part of that is my fault because I have not been exercising or taking my protein like I should. We had to cancel our membership at the Y and weather has been too cold and nasty for me to do anything outside. However as things began to clear up outside I plan on taking my little one and going walking. However I am still losing so I am okay with that for now. I just want to make sure I start exercising again.
This weekend I am finally going to get to take my classes to get certified to be a support group leader for our support group. I have been trying to do this for months but it has been with school and the family.
I know I was posting my pictures around the first of every month and I think the last before and after ones I posted were beginning to November 1st. I didn't do a before and after for Dec. or Jan. So I plan to get back on that path of doing that on Feb. 1. So for those of you that keep checking up on me I am sorry I have don't anything in awhile but keep checking back because I will have new pics posted soon!
To date I have lost 120lbs!


I can look down

Nov 21, 2007

You know the thing I find a little overwhelming is that when I am sitting at a table or in my chair at work that I can look down and actually see my legs. My legs are not hidden by my extra rolls anymore. Don't get me wrong I still have some rolls going on but they are so much smaller then they used to be. I know sometimes people must be looking at me and thinking "What is she looking at? Why does she keep looking down?". Because I think it is amazing, that is why! : )
