Just wanted you all to know I'm alive and well. I'm doing okay with my weight. I'm sticking between 180 & 190. I'm not happy about that, but its my own fault. I had surgery in January and I wasn't allowed to work out for 6 weeks and then a bunch of bad things started to happen and I haven't been to the gym in 6 months. Rediculous! I'm getting things going again and I have no doubt that I'll be back in the 170's in no time. 

I'm still very healthy and I look great. No one believes my actual numbers. I'm just very tall and carry it well. I would really like to have plastic surgery on my stomach and the girls, it will happen someday.

I'm very happy with the overall outcome and I wouldn't change a thing. Best decision I've ever made, minus getting sober! Without sobriety, I wouldn't have any of this!



Thanks for all your support, talk to you all soon!

Just want to update something, still not feeling like putting too much out there. The scale is in between 182 and 183 now. That's almost 118 pounds gone! I can't believe I'm still losing and I haven't been to the gym in two weeks. Its awful, but its the truth. I've got to adjust to the weather and the darkness to change my mindset. I'm losing motivation in everything.

I'll leave some pics too!

I guess the divorce diet works as well. I finally got into the 180's...189.5, but its 180's nonetheless! Not exactly the way I wanted to lose it, but I'm still eating well and getting some exercise in. I need to get back on track once everything slows down a bit.

I also want to get my plastics consult too, I get closer and closer every day. I just know that I can't afford it right now nor can I take the time off, but after the new year, I'm doing it!!!

I can't believe its almost October. This year has flown by rediculously. I'm still teeter tattering with my weight. I go from 191 to 193. I really want to break the 180's but I haven't been going to the gym in the last week or so. I had a pretty emotional week due to womanly problems and changes that have taken place. I'm in a new relationship and it's been really good so far but it's not easy. Things are so different now that I'm not drinking anymore. You have to feel all those feelings, if that makes sense?

I finally got my labs done yesterday for my one year post op appointment. I'm only 2 months behind, haha! I hope all my levels are right. I have an appointment with Dr. Moore next Thursday. I was really hoping to walk in there at goal, but I'm still about 10 pounds shy of his goal, I believe. I know he'll be happy with my results anyway. I'm doing well. Not perfect, but well!

I'm going to the gym after work and I'm gonna work really hard to hit 189 by next Thursday, that would rock!!!!

My PC was struck by lightening and died so I can't put any pictures up right now, but I will add something soon!!!

Ever since I've had this surgery, I've turned into a cooking guru. I'm always trying to make new things and turn old things into healthier decisions. It works most of the time. My friends have started calling me Martha. Personally, I'd rather be Rachael Ray, but whatever. I'm a cooking machine. This is a shirt LeeLee bought me:

I posted on my boards about the entire experience so I won't write it again. I'm just very happy where I'm at. 104 pounds gone forever. I've still got 6 more months to lose 16 more pounds for the Doc's goal and 26 for mine. I have no doubt that I will make it. 

All of you know how grateful I am to you for all the support and ears you lent during the last year and a half. I love you all!

P.S.
Congrats to Crystal & Christine as well. They are best Date Twins I could ever have! That would make us triplets, I know. I'm just weird like that. You guys are the greatest!!!

Wow have I been getting back on track. It's only been 3 days of serious power walking, but its working. I've recently been inspired to get back in gear due to the attention of a boy, hehe. Whatever reason, I don't care. I just want to complete the challenge I asked for almost 1 year ago. I've only got 16 pounds left till Dr. Moore's goal and I really wanna do it. I didn't even think it was obtainable by a year and I know I'm not going to reach it in 6 days, but I'll be much closer than the 18 months I was told it would take. 

I'm very happy and I think you can see it.

I'm one day short of 11 months out. I've been eating like crap lately. Lots of excess carbs, I'm gonna get back on track this week and get my ass back to the gym. Here are some new pics:














101 Pounds gone forever, I hope!

I wish I were more excited. At least I made it.

Here are some random photos from the weekend, I also posted some 10 month out photos in my Story area.
