14 Months Post VSG

Feb 07, 2011

Technically, I have another week before I'm 14 months, but anyway.  I don't get out here to OH too often...I should try to do better with that because there are quite a bit of people out here.  I spend time on YouTube and I also have a facebook account. Look for Dottie May if you are interested in friending me there. 

I've been in a weight loss stall now since November.  Crazy!! I know.  I'm not sure exactly why.  My weight fluctuates between 253 and 257 it seems.  I haven't been able to break out of the 250's yet.  I'm exercising 5 to 6 days a week, eating right and getting my water in.  The only thing I can figure is that perhaps I actually need to add more calories due to all the added exercise.  I was starting to get really frustrated with the weight too.  But then I got on my scale that measures body fat and muscle and discovered that my body fat has gone down 3 points and my muscle has gone up 1.5.  Plus, I'm feeling good so I'm not letting the weight on the scale dictate my success. 

NSV - Saturday, we went snow tubing and I actually participated!  I had such an incredible time...SO MUCH FUN!!!  I definitely want to go again.  We went as a family and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I posted a video on YouTube even.  Interested in seeing it?  Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH65GrKaq-g.   That evening when I got home, and actually put the video together and watched it...I cried.  I was so emotional seeing myself actually participate.  Tears of joy of course.   I'm just so excited that I didn't have to sit on the sidelines and watch...I participated.

One of the best things about losing weight is gaining life and living!  I'm not just existing...I'm living and enjoying! 

I'm currently at 255 lbs.  My top weight was 403.  I've come a long way so far.  I'm still working hard and do not intend on giving up.  I want to reach onederland some day! 

Peace, Love and Smiles,

Dottie
