Slow But Steady...

12/19/07- Today I was at 238...that's 158 lbs lost. I feel soooo good, and really am starting to believe I'm looking good. (That takes a while...) I'm really waiting to get to 235...then I'll be exactly 100 lbs from goal. I'm still walking my 3 miles every morning, and the hubby and I just signed up at LA Fitness. It's brand new in town, and won't open until January 10th...but, I'm excited to get started on some weight training. I think I'm in a dream world...

11/15/07-So, I've been frustrated to see the scale hasn't been budging. I know this is normal...and I know it will move again...but, it never gets easier.
On a good note... I was excited to see my collar bone for the first time in a LONG time. (Did I have one before???) Here it is...the emerging of my collar bone. Had to take a picture of it...

One Surgery Sister...

11/6/07-This weekend I got to see one of my surgery sisters. (I have two...) There are three of us that went through all the pre-op classes together, and then had surgery on the same day. She is doing SOOO well also. Her name is Nedra. This was the first time we've seen each other in 2 months.
My 30th Birthday Bash!
Nov 04, 2007
11/03/07- Today was my 30th birthday. I had a really nice birthday dinner with many friends and family. I really enjoyed it. My 30's should be great years. This year should bring me health and fitness, a skinny body, and hopefully children when it is time. I'm really looking forward to this. God has been so good to me...and I know He will continue to do so.
Incidently, I wore my first pair of stilletos tonight. Beautiful black ones with a little bow on the toe. Just wearing them made me feel skinnier! haha
I got a new haircut today before the party. I'm trying to keep it short in case I start losing it. So far so good though.

Birthday Cake!!!???

11/2/07-For my birthday today, my students gave me an edible flower arrangement in place of a cake! Isn't that great?? It was beautiful and delicious! We all enjoyed a bite of fruit.
On another note... I bought new jeans at Lane Bryant. They were 2 sizes smaller than the last pair I bought @ Lane Bryant. WOO HOO!!! Great birthday gift...

10/29/07- As of this weekend I am down to 261. HORRAY for me! My birthday is in 5 more days (Nov. 3rd). I'm so excited! Weight loss is the best birthday present ever. My hubby is buying me a red, Schwinn, beach cruiser bicycle for my birthday. I am so excited to ride it! We pick it up tomorrow. That should be great exercise on top of walking each morning. I love seeing that weight come off! At church on Sunday people were coming up to me right and left telling me how "skinny" I look. (I was chuckling to think they were calling a still 261 lb woman, "skinny".) However, I'm sure I look a lot skinnier now than 4 months ago! I'll post some pics of me on my new bike as soon as I get it home.
I'm a Losing Winner!
Oct 24, 2007
Just wanted to share a great story with you. I met with a personal trainer several weeks ago. She really encouraged me to get a heart rate monitor for use during exercise. When I checked them at a local sporting goods store, they were pretty pricey, so I decided to wait and check online for a better price. I ended up at the Polar web site and saw they had an essay contest to win a $200 heart rate monitor. I entered, and wrote the story of my surgery and weight loss so far. Today I found out that I won! haha Isn't that funny? My story will be posted on the Polar web site...along with several other winners. The public will be able to go online and vote for their favorite story and that person will win a $6,000 Backroads Adventure hiking trip. Can you imagine this once 396 lb girl winning a hiking trip???!!! That would be so incredible. I'm so up for that challenge!Thought you'd like that story! I'll let you know when my story is online. YOU CAN ALL VOTE FOR ME!!!
Oh yeah... and I am down to 265 today. I've lost 131 lbs...officially half-way to goal!

WATER PILLS ROCK!
Oct 22, 2007
10/22/07- As of this weekend, I am down to 267...yes, that's right... 267. I can't believe how much water I was retaining! I mean...I know some of it is fat and such, however I also know that I've been peeing like a maniac. SOOOOO....... how happy am I? I am SOOO close to being under 250. Once I am under 250...I'll be closer to the 100's than the 300's! NEVER TO SEE THE 300's AGAIN!!!! ARGH!!!!!
And it Continues

10/17/07- So, I could tell I've been retaining water. I mentioned it to the doc and he gave me a "water pill". WoW! Love that thing. Besides the fact that I am running to the bathroom constantly, I was down to 279 this morning. This is a 117 lb loss. What fun. I have to go for three more rounds of B-1 shots. (Not so fun...but, not horrible.) Anyway...all is still going well. No hair loss as yet!
