Dec 30, 2007
Well, I am at 115lbs! Yay! I am loving the new me, it feels great! Although, everyone I know says "You are TOO skinny!" BLAH BLAH BLAH.....I dont care, this is a better, heathier, happier me, & that is what is most important. I do hope though, that I dont lose any more weight because I do agree that if i did I would be too thin. Crazy, I never thought I would ever say that I am too skinny. I will be getting new pictures up soon, I just havent been up to it, seeing as how I suffer from fybromyalgia, which really SUCKS! But, with my daughters new camera, my new blonde hair, & my new meds to help me feel better, I will be getting new pics soon. I need them up for myself to see my progress. So, this is where I am now....I shall journal more at another time.
120lbs
Nov 16, 2007
Well, I have been at 120lbs for about alittle over a week or so now. Its pretty cool! My goal though is 115lbs. Although I know that my PCP & my surgeon think that that is too low. I dont care, that is where I want to be, so that is what I am aiming for! I would like to get myself an excersize ball, when we get the extra $$$. Hopefully Thanksgiving wont screw up my weightloss goal. I am going to my moms for a week, so I am hoping that I can stay on track & keep up the good work. I am so proud of myself! Now to get rid of these 5 more pounds!!!
122lbs
Oct 29, 2007
122lbs as of this morning, & yes, I double checked! I cant believe this! I feel amazing, excecpt my fybro isnt backing down, which really sucks! So, I am now down 110lbs in 11 months, I never even really realized that I had that much to lose! My 12 month follow up is next month, 5 days after my surgerversary. I am not sure what my Dr will say in regards to all of this weightloss. During my 9 month follow up I was 135lbs & she said if I got down to 125-120 she might consider me drinking with my meals. I dont know about that! I have this horrible fear of gaining even 1 pound back! I've read that people gain about 20lbs back on average & I tell myself, NOT ME! I am SO freaked out by that! I try not to think too much about it. So, my weight is still going down, which is good. Now I just have to get my fybro under control!
125lbs!
Oct 12, 2007
Well, I am 125lbs & still losing! I cant beleive it! I feel GREAT! But I am not sure if I want to lose anymore, all though I am not sure I can control it. We'll see. I wouldnt really mind losing more, but my family & my dr. dont want me to. Anyways, thats my weight as of today, 10-12-07.
Now I am 130lbs, I can't believe it!

Well, I am now 130lbs & still seem to be losing. I can't belive where my life is today. I have never felt more healthy, more happy to be alive. The pilates is really stretching my body out & making me look alot thinner than I really am. I really stand by what it has done for me! I just went to the store yesterday & bought my first ever pair of size 4 jeans! Yes, I said size 4! Although I think the jeans just run big, I will still say size 4 with a smile & since of pride! We just got a boflex, much to my dismay, BUT, I am going to use it to my advantage & hopefully lose even more. If not, atleast I will get more solid in my frame. I am also planning on adding a flower for my humming bird to drink from, just waiting for the $$$$. Cant wait though! I also had to go get 3 of my rings sized down to ift, they all literally fall off of my finger, so in a week I will have a ring to wear again, I cant wait for that either. Life, as I always seem to say now, is good!
down 100lbs!!!!
Aug 28, 2007
Well, it's official, I am now down 100lbs!!! I have never felt better about myself in my whole life! I was always a very insecure up until recenly, well, since before my surgery. Even when I was 'thin' 8 years ago, I was always VERY insecure, but this procedure, the help of the tool, & my new found belief in myself, I have now found a new happiness in my life that has always been lacking. It feels great. I have made afew really great friends from this web site aswell, which has really helped me through this journey. With my family & my new rfiends by my side, I am successful! thank you all!! Life is good! Now if I could just figure out how to get my new face on the avatar screen!
