6 months out....100lbs GONE!!

Oct 04, 2010

Yay!!! So in the beginning I set a personal goal for myself to lose 100lbs before my 6 month surgiversary. Well....I DID IT!!! This is the most exciting thing ever! My hubby is planning a get-away weekend for me since I made this major goal. Its a huge secret of course , he won't tell me anything about it. I feel so good!! I can sit on the floor, I can cross my legs, I can cross my arms over my chest, I can sit in positions that I couldn't even dream of when I was 291lbs! I am in love with my surgery, and all of the opportunities it has given me. I wear a size 16 pants (and my friends told me this weekend that they look too big, and its time to go to a 14), and I wear a XL shirt. I have an hour glass figure that I never knew of! I love it!! My life is great, my friends and family are so proud of me! I could not ask for more. At all!!  Thanks friends!

5 months and minus 90 pounds!

Sep 06, 2010

Hey peeps, just thought I would do a quick update on my progress! As of yesterday I was 5 months out and I weighed 201!! That is exactly 90 pounds from where I started! I am very close to my goal of 100 pounds in six months! Things are going so good, I started exercising within the last month and I realize that it really does help speed up the weight loss. I also discovered that I do not dump (which I think is a good thing for me), that way I can indulge sometimes like a regular person does. I'm sure some people do not agree with the 'indulge sometimes' part, but it works really well for me. Some other great things that are happening with me are:

No blood pressure pills
More energy
Regular periods/ovulation (which is why I wanted this surgery)
Sit cross legged like a lady
Sit indian style
I prefer to sit on the floor now
Weigh less than hubby
Weigh less than brother
No longer the 'fattest friend'
Wear size 16 pants and L/XL shirts
Waist size from 48 inches to 39 inches (so far)

I can go on and on! I am very happy with my progress so far. I only have 2 more pounds to lose until I am in onderland and I soooo can NOT wait for that to happen!!  I am very grateful to have had this surgery!

My new size 16 jeans!!

Aug 11, 2010

I am so amazed that just a short four months ago I wore a size 24 jeans! And now its a beautiful size 16! That just amazes me! I am so so so very grateful that I had this opportunity to have this surgery. It has definitely changed my life! I am down 84 pounds, and I feel like a brand new person! Sometimes I get a little discouraged when I stall (during ovulation), but the end of July up until now my body has been losing like crazy! Two weeks ago today I weighed 216, now I am at 207. That's amazing! But I also added exercise in my daily routine too! I know that helps! I love my surgery!!!!!!!

I weigh less than my husband!!

Aug 09, 2010

Ok big deal for me! I have been wanting this since surgery! When he stepped on the scale this morning it said 212, then I stepped on it and it said 209!! Man I just can NOT believe this! Ha! I weigh less than him! It doesn't look like it though cuz he is tall and skinny, and I am short and fat....(ok medium sized now). But it is so lovely to be able to say I weigh less than him. No wife should weigh more than their husband! (Unless that man is really small), which most men aren't! Anyway, I am very happy today! And I am only 10 pounds away from onderland! I am working my butt off to get there too! YAY MEEEE!!!!

Am I gonna make it??? :(

Jul 28, 2010

This month has really sucked for me. Of course I stall when I ovulate, and you would think I would be used to that. But I'm not. It makes me mad every time. I am basically going through withdrawals here, I want sugar so badly! I crave it like a druggie craves his fix. I gave in to it today, I had a fun size chocolate snickers (okay I had 2). This fight sucks, I think about it constantly until I give in. Then I cry and am all upset. UGH!! How do I break myself away from this state of mind? I had my husband put away my scale because I would step on it 7 times every morning. So last time I weighed it said 215. I am never gonna get to goal if I don't get it together. But I don't know how! I am fighting the tears as I type this. I just feel like I am going crazy. I wish food would release its death grip on me! Oh I just don't know what to do.....

76 pounds down and COLLAR BONES!

Jul 16, 2010

Good morning friends!!

I am happy because my husband was staring at me this morning and then he poked my collar bone! He said 'Uh oh, I see them!'....so of course I was in the mirror looking for them myself. And sure enough I saw the little bump of a collar bone! Of course (you know me) I had to take a pic to show you all. Its not much but its there dang it!!!

70lbs gone in 3 months!

Jul 05, 2010

Good morning all!  Well yesterday was my 3 month surgiversary, and when I stepped on the scale it said 221!! I am so happy!  When I started this journey I was at 291, and to be 70 lbs down is the best feeling ever! My goal is to be down 100 lbs by 6 months.

Also while I was visiting my mom this weekend she gave me some clothes. She gave me a skirt that is a size 16!! And she gave me a pair of dress pants that is a size 14, and I was able to button, and zip it all the way up! I am just so speechless! I started at a 24 pants so fitting in a 14 is a HUGE  victory for me! Oh, and I was able to fit in a size 14 dress, and a large shirt! Man I am loving my RNY!!

OMG I am ovulating!!

Jun 25, 2010

Ok I am sooooo happy! I now know why the scale has not moved all week! I took an ovulation test a few minutes ago and two lines means its positive!!  For those who read my posts regularly, you know my whole purpose of getting this surgery was to be able to have babies!! I haven't ovulated in two years...  I am giving God all the praise right now. I am beyond excited! Whenever I took these tests before I ALWAYS only had one line.....

I got a waist line!! Oh yeah! -62lbs

Jun 11, 2010

So this morning as I laid in bed I thought to myself 'What the crap am I gonna wear today?' So I decided to look in my closet for shirts that actually fit (all my shirts are toooo big). I pulled out two shirts to try on, and the 1st one I tried on fit!! IT FIT!!! I didn't even take the time to try on the other one! I am very happy! (pic below)...and my boobies look HUGE!!!

Also I started tracking my periods since I had my 1st one last month, and this month I started on time! No more late cycles!! That makes me happy because its the WHOLE PURPOSE that I wanted this surgery! Babies will come soon! (not too soon)!

Today is another sexy day for me! I am so happy! I have a waist line! Yay for a dang waist line!
