1 YEAR!!

Jan 09, 2009

Wow it is so hard to believe that today is my 1 year surgiversary!!  It is so amazing what can happen in a year.  One year ago today I weighed 117 pounds more than I do now and was 74.25 inches bigger!  It is so funny now though because I can't even imagine feeling the way I did then, not wanting to go places because I didn't have things to wear and feeling like my husband and family were embarrassed to be with me because the only thing I felt people say when they looked at me was my weight.  I feel great and that is a place in my life I never will go back to and that is a wonderful feeling.  I am definately not always perfect with my eating but I do my best and I still run everyday.  I know now that I am a better wife, mother, daughter, and friend than I ever was when I was so unhappy with myself.  That is the crazy thing is how much I didn't realize how unhappy I was being fat until I lost the weight and life, in general, is happier. It wasn't an easy road by any means but I would do it all again without a doubt.  RNY is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I can't wait to keep living every day with a new perspective on life!

7 months out!

Aug 08, 2008

Well today I am 7 months out from surgery and things are going great.  I feel so good it is amazing.  I have lost 100.4 pounds!!! thank god because after looking at my before pictures I definately needed to do this.  Things are about the same as last month.  It is very frustrating to me because it is always when I think I am eating a lot and not very well that I lose weight.  And when I really try to stick to a good diet I dont.  If anyone can tell me why that is I would love to know because it absolutely annoys the hell out of me.  Anyway I have lost a total of 67 inches now so I am getting there.  Only 10.6 pounds to go til goal....slowly but surely!

6 mo. out

Jul 09, 2008

Well today is my 6 months out from surgery and I am happier than I ever could have imagined.  I remember last summer when I was on a walk with my mom talking about how bad I wanted to have surgery and she said "just think by next summer you could be down 50 pounds!"  So now here I am 6 months out and down 94 pounds and 64 inches!  I am very happy but I do still have 17 pounds to go.  Lately I have been really bad actually and finally today I have put my foot down.  I have still been doing good with the exercise but the eating not so much at all.  But that is all going to change because I didn't do this to get so close to goal then give up and gain all my weight back.  This is a life changing and habit changing experience for me and I just need to remember that.  So everyone wish me luck with this next month on my road to even more happiness!

5 mo. out

Jun 09, 2008

Well today is my 5 months out of surgery and things are going great.  I have lost 88 pounds and 57 1/4 inches.  It seems unbelievable that it has went this fast.  I have 23 pounds left until goal and I just really want to get there but it is hard to remember sometimes that the weight isn't going to come off like it did the first couple months.  Other than that I have been able to eat anything I want without any problems which I don't think is actually a good thing!  I do feel like I need to buckle down more I have become more slack with the rules but it is so frustrating to me because when I do eat all healthy and everything compared to if I have a couple days where I have snacked and stuff it seems like I lose more weight on the bad days.  It doesn't make sense I know  but it is true.  Anyway things are good and I just can't wait til I am at goal.  Until next month!

4 months out!

May 09, 2008

Hey everyone well today is my official 4 months out of surgery.  I am down 78.6 pounds and 51.5 inches.  It is all so crazy.  If you think about it I have lost OVER 4 ft. off my body.  And where does it all go is the real question?  Anyway the weightloss has been slow this last week I only lost like 2 pounds and since wednesday I haven't lost anymore.  That is very frustrating to me.  I really hope that I am not plateuing because I have 30 pounds still left to lose.  I am definately going to buckle down now and follow all of my rules and still work my ass off in the gym and hopefully the scale will start moving again.  Pray that it does because I am not one of those people who is satisfied with just losing inches.  Well wish me the best in the my battle with the evil scale!!  Until next month!

3 months out!

Apr 08, 2008

Well today is my official three month surgiversary and I am really excited about it.  I can still remember at like 1 and 2 weeks out how I kept saying I couldn't wait until I was 3 months out and now here I am down 65 pounds and 40.5 inches.   It is absolutely amazing to me.  I have to admit I was a little bummed about only losing 2.4 pounds this last week but it was my TOM and it was really hard to get motivated at the gym.  I don't know if that was the reason or just not having the time I needed, but anyway I am back on track and ready to keep going.  I am so happy I did this and can't wait til I am at goal!! Talk to you next month!

I finally made it!!  It feels so good to see a one infront of my weight again it is so unbelievable.  A few months ago I never would have thought I was going to be this weight again.  I haven't weighed this since my senior year in highschool when I did weight watchers and dropped about 25 pounds so this is really exciting.  I just can't wait to keep going.  This was a big milestone for me and now it is hard to believe that I will be losing more weight!  Thanks for alll the support and I hope you keep following me on this crazy journey! ONLY 47.6 MORE POUNDS TO LOSE TIL GOAL AND I AM NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS OUT!!!!! Gotta love it!

Yes that is right people I am over halfway to my goal!  And 10 weeks out today.  It seems unreal to me that 3 months ago I was 56 pounds heavier than I am now.  I know this is the 'honeymoon" period of the surgery but I am definately loving it!  It seemed for awhile I was having these little stalls but I am working out harder and while I am not keeping track of protein I always eat protein first in a meal. And all of a sudden I am dropping pretty big  numbers from week to week again!  I am so excited and so close to be under 200 I can taste it!  I really hope I get there next week so everyone wish me luck.  ONLY 54.2 MORE POUNDS TO LOSE TIL GOAL!!!!

It hardly seems like it has been 2 months since my surgery but it has and I have lost 45.6 pounds!!  I am so excited but I have noticed that the weightloss has seemed to slow down a bit which sucks sometimes.  Other than that I am on the regular diet except for breads and it is going very well.  I feel like a regular person again and that is a great feeling!  I have been working out everyday except for when I don't have a babysitter for that day!  I am really glad I did this I just hope that the weightloss continues and I get make it to my goal in a couple few months.  Only 65.4 more pounds to go, oh and I lost another 14.5 inches this month for a total of 29 inches.  Hope all of you are doing well too.  My new mini goal is to lose 15.4 pounds in the next 4 weeks so everyone keep your fingers crossed!  Oh yea then I will be under 200 can't wait!

6 weeks out

Feb 20, 2008

Well as of today it has been 6 weeks since surgery and I am feeling great!  I have lost 40 pounds and it feels so amazing.  I started working out at the beginning of the week even  though I am not suppose to until today, but that has made me feel so much better.  The beginning sucked pretty bad and I had a hard time but now I absolutely love it.  I definately have no regrets about the surgery and to anyone out there who is just out of surgery and are regretting having made the decision believe me it will get better!  I PROMISE!
