Sorry for not doing this sooner, but I tend to get really busy in summer.  I have been doing great!  I now weigh 108 and have been maintaining that with a 5# cushion for loss and gain.  I have no real problems can eat pretty good, somethings and I don't get along but you just learn to steer clear of them.  My tool does remind me once in awhile who is boss but that is a good thing. 

POOF!!!!! 1 year Later!!!

My 1 year anniversary was yesterday!!!  I can't believe how time flies!!!  

Ok~ I cannot believe the ride I have been on for me it has been short of a miracle.  I am one of the lucky ones.  No trouble with eating except anything with tomato like ketchup or any kinda tomato sauce, that's okay though I can get around that LOL, while the family eats lasagna I get steak yum yum.  

My health is good I am down to 120 # 2 pounds short of my goal but very comfortable at this weight.  All my health problems are gone the only meds I take are my vitamins (6 gummy flintstones a day~2calcium chews (my chocolate fix of the day~and my B-12 sublingual) and I take a prescription for Miralax daily to keep the insides happy.  

It is very hard for me to look back  and see a shadow of the person I use to be, she was a very sad sad person and very rarely smiled or kidded around, each passing day was a wish for death, I guess I was just exsisting (YUCK).  Fast forward to now Wow what a different person.  I pray I never forget that other woman she will help me stay where I am today.

Thank you my OH family for helping me walk my journey and reminding me that this race is a walking race not a running one where slow and steady is the answer and that stalls are a part of the game.

Ain't life GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First off sorry I haven't updated in such a long time.  Went back for my 10 mos. check-up.  I thought I was doing good buuuuuuuttttttttt surprise NOT they changed their goal on me at first I thought they said around 130 so I was going in at around 136 naked (lol) thinking I was almost there NOT she said I probably could lose another 20#, okay that would put me at 116# plus take off an estimated 7-10#'s of extra skin that would put me down to 106.  Now I know I'm a short little shit but you also got to remember I'm noooooooooo spring chicken anymore either LOL.  I'm going to keep working at it and follow all the rules and just see what happens.  I already am wearing a JR size 3 and JR med tops and a petite 4 works real good too when I can find it.  So if I lose it I'll be happy and if I don't I'll just keep trying.


A New Year A New ME!!!!

Jan 08, 2007

Happy New Year late everyone!!!!!  I had my Dr. apt last week much much better this month.  Now I don't have to go back for 3 months.   I'm doing good 20# until Dr's goal 40#'s until my goal.  I LOVED my Christmas outfit nearly knocked the socks off my husband when I finally showed him, I haven't seen that look in his eyes in a very long time.  We had a rough New Years we lost one of our Grandparents, we all knew it was time and she is in a much better place, but it is always hard to say good-bye. It was nice to be able to get some very sharp looking clothes for the funeral without having to shop for hours.  I have been working my butt off on my recumbent and the gazelle and it is starting to show on the scale.  I'm still working on eating more but mentally I find this extremely hard to do but I'm doing better, I still get all my vitamins in at least.  Still only getting about 2 oz of protein per meal in but no extras like fruit and veggies just protein.  I have yet to break down and have snacks or graze so I'm very happy about that.    I've turned into a BIG BIG coffee drinker, but I also drink a lot of water too.  So my goal for the New year is to stay on track and keep doing what I have been doing and maybe just maybe I'll make goal by my Birthday.

Merry Christmas

I Don't Know



I had my Dr. Appt yesterday.  I only lost 10# this month needless to say they were not real thrilled about that.  So we go into the eating and exercising history for the month so I told her that I'm only eating once a day and sometimes skipping days and I have let my exercise slip to every other day I got to say she was NOT amused.  I got read the riot act and then she explained how I have now sent my body into starvation mode and screwed up my metbolism and I need to get back on track and go back to basics.  SOOOOOOOOOO I am going back to the beginning and rededicating myself to get this right!!!  I just hope I didn't screw anything up for good.


HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE WINTER!!!!!!  Now don't get me wrong I love Christmas and I love Christms snow but that's it!!!! It can go back up to 90 and stay there the day after Christmas.  I'm freezing and people are starting to look at me funny because I'm already wearing my cuddle johns and 2 shirts and a sweatshirt and I'm still cold.  What am I going to do in January???  I'll look like a regular snowman  Frosty

Tis the season I guess???  The main board was just a mess today, all over Christmas cards what the hell OOPS.  I just don't understand people I thought we were here for each other but people have to make everything a popularity contest.  She or he are going to get more cards then me boohoo, they get more responses to thier post then I do,  I cannot do the exchange this year but will be aware of it next year and be ready end of story.  I for one am really sick and tired of seeing it on the board.  Then you have the other group no CAMPASSION, they think being a hard ass is the way to go I guess to each their own, but there is always a place and time for these posts or responses.  Just blowin off steam  I'm Mad As Hell here no doubt it will get back to normal, I just hope we don't lose more people who I really enjoy following.  Sorry for the rant I do feel better.
