Yippppeeeeee!!!!! Working out like a mad woman, still struggling to eat one whole cup of food per a meal. I usually still have to do my mid-morning, mid-afternoon and mid-evening snacks to supplement my meals. And I'm drinking LOTS of water/beverages. lol
Anyhow... Yipppppeeeeeee for me!!!!
Finally... 100 lost!!!!!
Jun 01, 2008
But I started to finally work out seriously. And damn it... WhoooHoooo... 100... and now 102.5. Though tomorrow morning I weigh myself again and I'll hope that changes yet again.
When I lived in Ohio (before moving to Colorado) I had lost 120 pounds on my own. The good old fashioned way, working out 6 days a week for no less than 1.5 hours and eating less, eating better. After I moved here to Colorado and stopped smoking my pounds kept adding on and on. Until I was almost at 350. (So if we count what I lost before surgery cuz Dr Fedorak made me lose some on my own it would be well over 100.) Anyhow... even in Ohio after losing that weight I think I only got down to 222-ish. Well, now I'm in the teens. I was as of last Monday 219.5 - Yipppeeeeee!!!!!!
I'm loving myself like I have never... I'm doing stuff I NEVER thought I'd do (white water rafting in TWO weeks and sky diving is to follow)... and I'm dating. Not one fellow, but I'm dating a few fellows. lol I'm single not dead, and I'm not exclusive with any of them and they all know it. (And I'm not being a hoochie either, I'm good enough to myself. lol) And the compliments I get from strangers... people from work I never talk to come up out of no where to tell me how awesome I look. The compliments from fellows just blows me away.
So I have NEVER been happier with me or my life. I owe this happiness to my success with my surgery... that isn't even over yet. :o) Yipppeeee!!!!!
Finally went back to O-hi
Apr 07, 2008
It was EXCELLENT!!! Everyone, and I mean everyone, including strangers I don't even know... commented on how good I look. Now besides losing the 95 pounds, I've also now gone back to being a brunette (hadn't been in about 12 years) and I have new glasses and I have piercings, oh and more ink. lol
So everyone noticed and just commented on hwo great I'm looking. They even said that I'm glowing that I'm so happy. So this felt damn good.
I'm still pissed that I'm stuck at only 95 pounds, but I guess that's still better than being 95 pounds heavier.
This was a great trip, very much needed. :o)
3 Months and 3 weeks out...

I used to LOVE pizza... but NO pizza ever made me smile like this, or happy like this. So I'm not really sure why I ate like I did. All I know is now, there is NO food that will take my happiness away.
I had a fissure (I think that's what it's called), the opening to my stomach was blocked down to only 7 mm due to scar tissue. It's a VERY common occurence. Anyhow, Dr Fedorak expanded it via a balloon to 14 mm and I have been FANTASTIC ever since!!! I no longer have a hard time drinking all of my waters!!! :o)
I went to Vegas at the end of September and wore some outfits that I would NOT have worn pre-op. I wore some sassy tank tops and just let my arms be seen, who cares?!!? I have been having the TIME of my life as I move along on my weight loss journey. People notice at my job (who don't even know about my surgery), guys are noticing me again (and I LOVE it), and every day is another day of fun for me.
I am just SO happy that I went through with surgery, and did what I needed to really start living. In November I will be going back to O-hi (where ALL of my family lives) and I'll see them again. I saw them last in June of '06 ... so they saw me as a pretty fluffy girl. I'm hoping to knock all their socks off!!! hehe I've been keeping up my tan by fake n' baking so I really looks good!!!
Anyhow... so far so good, and I'm happier with every passing day!!! :o)
Amazing & happy

I had my surgery back on July 2nd... so just over one month and I've already lost 27 pounds! I can't even believe it really. I mean, I know that I'm only eating 2 tbsp & 1 tspn of food... and that I'm walking every day... but WOW!! I now am excited about stepping on the scale!!
Of course I don't really notice it, though my jeans that I used to SQUEEZE into are now actually getting baggy, which I LOVE!! But my friends all notice it.
And you know the funniest thing... I was thinking about this... There was never one thing I ate (when I ate horribly pre-surgery) that EVER made me as happy as I am hopping on the scale to see a decrease in my weight. I'm again (FINALLY) under 300 pounds and it just makes me smile!!!
I LOVE me and it's about time I treat me better!!!
