Well on November 30 it will be my one year and I am dissappointed. I feel I should have lost more then this, I have been at a stall for 3 months, lose a few gain a few. It is very, very frustrating. Sometimes I wish I would have chosen the bypass. Everyone I know that had the sleeve has lost 100 at a year..... I feel great , and I look good. I went from a size tight 24 jeans to a baggy size 12. A shirt size 2XL to a medium and can fir into a junior large. So I am happy with some things and dissappointed in other areas. And now I think my BMI is to low to qualify for the bypass. I see me doctor on the 28th for my year and I am going to ask her about it.

Went to the gym yesterday and weighed , I am 219. I have not been 219 for 12 years. It feels great. I am so motivated to do this and keep it off forever. I will admit getting to the gym everday can be a challenge. I am in a size 16 from a 22, I can fit into a large top. I am so greatful to have had the sleeve. I feel that I have gotten my youthfulness back. I feel like I am i my late twenties again. And I am so in love with my husband more than ever. I still can only eat about one-fourth cup at a time. and I do find it hard to get all my protein in....

Well so far I have kept my goal to work out after work .... today I just feel beat. I have these little pains going thru my intestines and soemtimes it makes me feel really sick. It started on my way into work today. Hopefully this passes quickly. I am so excited with my new body, my new energy, and my new outlook on life.

I woke up and passed the scale today, then on a second thought stepped on.. down 2 more pounds. After an almost four week stall this is awesome. I was starting to be convinced that I was not going to lose another pound. I have always stopped at 234. This is the smallest I have been in 13 years. I love it. I feel it in my clothes, I see it in my reflection.....Praise God!!

Week 7 Finally, the scale has moved in my favor...... down a few more. That is a total of 36 pounds.... This stall was really messing with my mind. Here I have a brand new first born grandson, a awesome husband who loves me no matter what I look like, and wonderful children, not to mention a great job with a great company, and an awesome doctor to work for.. But all I could do was focus on that damn scale not moving. I just tried to keep on keeping on.
This has been a great journey so far. I need to get back to walking and working out. My life has been super busy the last couple of weekends. Now it is time to get back to the basics......
My short term goal is 200 by April 4th. That is our Hawaii trip. So looking forward to being alone with my honey in paradise.
