My 43rd  and approaching 3 yrs. since my RNY.
I have lost 123lbs and am now a size 2.
Starting to feel a little too skinny, but I am healthy and doing well.
Recently promoted at work and just moving into a new home.
Life is good in WNY

120 lbs. lost in 2 1/2 years.
Now a size 4, maybe even a 3.
Life is pretty damn good!!

10 mos. since my last post. I have lost 6 more pounds and am weighing in at 148 these days, actually since the beginning of June. I was a size 7 in June and now, 3 mos. later I am a size 5. This will never cease to amaze me. May 2007 I was 259 lbs. and a size 22!! I can wear a small in tops and bottoms or even shop from the junior section at the stores. Wearing a size 4 in panties. The bad news is about the boobage, 32 A-. They don't make that size, but I could use it. I buy a 32A quite padded and there is enough room for another boob in each cup. Tried those water inserts, but there's not even enough of me to keep them in the damn bra. My latest idea is to buy those big Band Aids, the knee sized ones and just wear them. They're water proof and now days you can buy them colored, or patterned or even in cammo.  I mean where else can ya get a box of 16 bras for $1.99...LOL 

I can't believe I let an entire month pass by without a post here. No news is supposed to be good news, but not when it comes to weight loss...no news is simply no news. I am still at 154 since summer and doing okay.

Bought a new winter jacket and pleased to say I could fit into a medium. However I bought the large, because I like the extra room for bulky winter clothes.

Had a nice Thanksgiving with my Hottie Man. Better than last year when I was just 6 mos. out and couldn't hardly eat anything. I still couldn't eat as much as my fat brain wanted, but I did okay. Kinda reminds me of how an alcoholic feels. I mean, although they don't drink anymore the desire is ususally still there. It's the same for me with food or wanting larger portions. I don't overindulge, 'cause the price of the pouch is not worth it. I have learned to stop when I am full instead of when I'm stuffed.

WOW! It's been over a month since I made an entry here. I'm here every day, but guess a little lazy...LOL
The weight loss has slowed to nothing since July. I am still at 154 and that's okay for the most part. Would love to lose another 4 or even better 9, but I will be fine with the 105 I've already lost.
                        Happy Halloween

Happy Sunday to you! Hottie Man & I are getting ready for a short (2 hrs.) road trip to Wellsville, NY. I have this good friend named Lisa who I lost track of and haven't seen in over 10 yrs. I've looked for her on the www and always wondered wth happened to her. Then one night around 3am I was browsing myspace memebers and thought, "Gee her kids are young...late teens. Surely one of them have a profile." Wallah! I found my friend again thru her son's myspace page! I found out she had WLS a few yrs. ago too. She's lost around 200 lbs. and is a size 14 now. If I had to guess I'd say she was about a 24-26 "back in the day". I'll post a before pic of her and I and then later tonight an after one. About 2 mos ago I found my Hottie Man's old childhood friend on the www. We're going to visit him down in Morgantown, WV the end of he month. Anyways, that's what we're doing today. How 'bout you?

Weighed in @ 154 this a.m. 105 lbs. lost and I only have 4 to reach goal!!
Added a new pic over the wknd. Hottie Man and I went to the races in Erie, PA. Not my thing, but it was nice to get out with my hubbie. Also nice to see him smile so much. He loves the races. Actually I think he loves the crashes & the food more!!

 Happy anniversary to me & my Hottie Man Husband! We've been married 7 yrs. today and we got married on the 16th anniversary of our 1st date waaaay back in 1985!

Weighed in this a.m. at 155. Only losing about a pound a month, but I'll take it. Five more pounds 'til I am at my goal. When I reach that I'd really like to drop another five and be done. A total of ten more pounds would put me in the "normal" range.

I am applying to work at Aldi Foods. They are paying managers $20.35 an hour. If I worked 25 hrs. a week there I'd make four dollars more than where I currently work at 40 hours. Who wouldn't wanna work less and make more money...

Went out last night. Had about 3 drinks. Man, drinks are not cheap. I was paying $3.50 for a wine cooler drink! However, it was worth it to see my good friend John the Educator.  I had not seen him in years...missed him. Anyways we made plans to get together tomorrow night for karaoke @ the Sky bar.

More good news here...I still weigh 156, but I am now in single digit jeans!! Size 9!!! I can hardly believe it and they're Jr. Miss not even a woman's size nine.  

Another good friend, Kyrstyn starts training Monday to work in the same bldg. where I work. Poor, Woma! She's listen to me piss and moan about where I work for years, now she'll be able to do it herself.

A year ago I was posting like a mad woman a few times a week. Now I am at about once a month. Funny how much difference a year makes.

Experienceing a rough patch here right now. Guess it started with my mom passing last month...dealing with old ghosts. Also the financial strain of things and work stressors.

No weight loss since I was down home in Hillbilly Hell. Would really like to drop another 6-11 pounds, but I am more than satisfied if I stay right where I am at 156 pounds. Hell, I'd have never believed I could be a normal size (9-10). This is super for me!

Hope everyone is having a good summer!!
