new life, new beginning

Apr 03, 2009

Well it is now April, almost 14 months after surgery, i have managed to maintain my weight although i have had a little mishap, I fell and broke my leg, so i havent been able to enjoy the spring walks, It was a very bad accident and i required surgery to fix my leg and ankle.
Also, im enjoying my new life, i have  anew man in it and it feels wonderful to have found the man of my dreams. he knows all about my surgery and has supported me and says that he admires me for changing my life and making the right decision

Soooo excited

Sep 20, 2008

I got on the scale today and I now weight 162 Lbs, which means im only 2 lbs away from my origional goal of 160, i think that now i can change my goal to 150, I would settle at 160, but hey, what the heck, if i can get lower to 150, im all that more happier..

Today, im 8 months out!!

Sep 15, 2008

Wow, I cant believe it, Its been 8 months already since surgery. I am now down to 170 pounds, and im 10 pounds away from my goal of 160, well i say thats my goal, but if i could make it to150, i would love that even more. But for me to be healthy and be at a normal BMI, i could be at 160 as well so we will just see. I will let my body decide. Its so hard to believe that 8 months ago, i weight 277 pounds. Just blows my mind. I was wearing a size 24 and today, i can wear a size 10. anyways, just thought id do an update, Yes i know I still need updated pics........... until next time.

7.5 Months Out

Sep 03, 2008

I know that I havent blogged for a while yet, but thats because im too busy enjoying my new life. It is just over 7 and a half months since I had surgery and I have now lost over 100 pounds and it feels wonderful. I have to get some updated pics of myself as well. Its been crazy for me lately, I have just returned back to work after 8 yrs, thats cause I was busy raising my children. Its even better this time cause I dont have all this weight on me. Well stay tuned for some updated pics.

5.5 months out and feeling great

Jul 04, 2008

Well today is July 4th !!! I am 5.5 months out and im feeling really good. I cant believe how fast time has flew by. Today, I weighed in a 189 pounds. I officially have 29 pounds to put me at my goal weight of 160. If i can manage to get down to 150, that will be even better but we will wait and see. This journey has been so exciting and is something i could have never imagined. Ohhh and clothes shopping has never been more fun. Until next time.

4 months out now

May 16, 2008

Well Today is May 16th and yesterday it was officially 4 months since i had my surgery. I am now down 70 pounds. I think its a great accomplishment.. I could have never done this on my own, so Im happy with the progress. I am down to 207 from 277, so it wont be long before I get into the 100's wow to think that.

Having a Great month!!!

Apr 22, 2008

Well I just wrote not to long ago reporting that I had lost 50 pounds. Well Im just over 3 months, actually im 3 months and 8 days, and now im down 59 pounds. I can see now that my body plays tricks on me. I might be at the same weight for about a week then all of a sudden, i lose a few pounds. Well at any rate, the weight is coming off now and Im toally loving it. Id also like to say that Im officially outta plus size clothes. Ohhhh its so great. Cant weight till I reach my goal. I can see it in sight.

11 days until I hit the 3 month mark!!

Apr 04, 2008

Well, in another 11 days, It will be 3 months since I had my surgery. To date, I have now lost 51 pounds. Wow, I cant believe it already. Things had slowed awhile and I wasnt getting all my protein. That was because I had a problem taking the shakes but now things have resolved and I can handle drinking them. Since I have increased my protein, my weightloss has continued. I guess patience is the key and dont get discouraged. I have to say that I was for a bit. Now everything is good. I am exercising but not as much as I should. I do go to Aqua-fit which i really enjoy and I do have a treadmill which I have to get back on. Im also awaiting spring, lol, well it is spring but waiting for the snow to all go away.
Things are good though....................until next time.


Been just over a month now!!

Feb 21, 2008

Well it is now 5 weeks since Surgery. Im feeling alot better with the weight coming off and all, Im just still trying to figure out whats good for me and not. What i basically mean is what foods like me and what foods leave me in the washroom. I totally cant handle Milk, whatever it is, it just leaves me feeling like i want to puke. I have that feeling for about 30 minutes. I guess its like bringing up a baby again, one day at a time.
