Frustrated.
Jul 29, 2007
Hmm, someone commented on my profile so I thought I'd come re-read it. I have only lost about 10 pounds in like 2-3 months. Currently sitting about 185, 125 down from my highest. That is ridiculous. I must be "allowing" myself too many treats, too many cheats...thats gotta stop. Gotta stop today. Time to focus. Been saying it for more than a week - I've gotta kick it in gear. Its time. TIME.
Currently sitting about 185, 125 down from my highest.
Lets look at some of my original goals and update again:
1. I want to go to Cedar Point Amusement Park and ride every roller coaster without fear of not fitting. I didn't make it to CP yet this summer. Doubt that I will, however, I think I could accomplish this goal if I did make the trip!
2. I want to go through the turnstiles at disneyworld without trouble fitting through. Went to Disney in early December, had significantly LESS trouble than before, but still could use a little more schooch room. Planning a trip back in May (see #10), I bet I can check this one off then! Went again in June - no problems whatsoever! :-) DONE!
3. I want to get into One-derland (30 pounds to go) Made it in April?? I think it was early April, after the cruise at the end of March. DONE!
4. I want to buy "normal" sized clothes (18 or under) (Hmm, when??) Don't know when, but DONE DONE DONE!! I can comfortably wear 16W's and missy 16s!! Yesss!!!
5. I want to wear size 12 jeans (by my one-year anniversary??) Not thinking I'll make this goal by surgiversary...don't know when, OR IF. :-(
6. I want there to be no X's in my tee-shirt size (when??) T-shirt sizes are iffy - I bought one that is a MEDIUM, a few Larges, and some still have to be XLgs....
7. I want to buckle the belt on an airplane, and have a little bit of a "tail" to pull to tighten it...not have to pull it and squeeze in. (DONE DONE DONE - If I can figure it out, I'll post a pic of my "tail"!)
8. I also want the tray table on an airplane to come all the way down so I don't have to set my drink on my daughters' tray. (OK, so I did this...but I had to suck it in, and then I couldn't breathe, so maybe by May (again, see #10). I think I was able to do this in June...I can't remember! So even if I didn't do it, I guess it wasn't an issue, so that alright too!!
9. I want to get my entire house clean - and have a party! (I still hate housework, so who knows if I'll ever get to this!) Yep, still hate housework, house is still messy.
10. My biggest goal is to enter and finish the Danskin triathlon held at Disney World each May. This year, I am going to go and participate...and finish. (Got a bike for Christmas, so its time to start training!!) Training on the treadmill, still too afraid of the bike...

Well, my weight loss, I have decided, is bizarre. I tend to drop a few pounds (5-10) and then I just stall and wait and wait and wait. I try to hang on to the thought that at least I'm not gaining. This is a hard way to go - never meeting goals, but still dropping slowly. A little bit frustrating, if you know what I mean.
So, here it is 1 July. I'm holding around 185ish. It is hard to NOT be frustrated, but I have NOT weighed this for more than 20 years. I'm in a MISSY size 16 jeans, comfortably. I have a lot of belly fat that hangs over the top, but they still are comfortable enough for everyday wearing. So I guess I'm not disappointed.
I've joined the Labor Day challenge, and hope to be at 165 by then. 20 pounds, 2 months. With some hard work, absolutely doable. Its the hard work part that I don't look forward to....I also want to be at 160 by my "surgiversary" - 19 September. Again, hard work here I come.
I've had only a few bad days, most caused by my own stupidity...overeating, eating too fast. It will always be a struggle for me I guess, to control myself. I can eat anything I want - I just have to limit how much. Again, if I'd really pay attention and eat BETTER, my weight loss would probably be better. Its just so hard. But I knew it would be.
Anyway, just checking in. I'm down about 125 pounds (give or take). I am in 16 jeans from 24/26s. That is amazing to me. My pants look teeny when I fold them. I can wear a LARGE tee-shirt, but I think its still a tad to tight.
Even tho I'm slowing, I haven't stopped. I'll get there. I'll keep trying. It's all so amazing.
My neighbor had lap-band this week, I hope she does well. Another friend is still jumping through hoops for approval. I believe the surgery will change her life. She needs it more than anyone I know. So my thoughts for all in her shoes, and best wishes to anyone who takes the time to read my blog.

Unmet goals. :-(
May 26, 2007
Well. I posted about 5 weeks ago and set all these little goals for myself. I try to NOT get to upset over weight because I have done so well, and I feel so good. BUT, 5 weeks ago, I was at 197. I am now at 193. That is so NOT good. I need to measure again...maybe those numbers would be more encouraging. I don't think I'm going to reach any of my goals, except maybe to be at 160 by my surgiversary...but only if I can get my big ole butt in gear and really kick it up. Anyway. Still losing (actually it fluctuates, I hit 190 about a week ago, just to pop back up to 193), so its ok...as long as UP doesn't become a recurring trend. Its all good. HOW are you doing???

I've been thinking about goals. My weight loss has slowed down tremendously. I tend to drop 10 pounds, then sit still for a month or so without losing anything - then I'll drop another 10 kind of quickly...only to get stuck again. As long as it moves eventually though, I'm good with it. So goals.
I have a family trip planned in June - 6 weeks from yesterday actually. I'm currently sitting about 197. I am going to try to get to 185 by then. Thats 2 pounds a week. Should be do-able. I'm gonna try anway.
Family reunion is 2 weeks later. I'd love to be at 180 by then. That might be a little harder...thats more like 17 pounds in 7-8 weeks...BUT I should get in lots of exercise while on vacation, so maybe.
Sometime in July is my HS class reunion. I really wanted to be THIN for this...but thats simply dreaming. I'm going to aim for 170 ish.
My original goal by surgiversary was 160....but I think I'm going to drop that a bit and say 150. That gives me nearly 5 months to lose 47 pounds. I MIGHT be able to do that...I don't know....I'm gonna try.
All is good here...well, mostly. Keep on keeping on. *hugs*

I am now down a total of 110 pounds. According to my home scale I am now in ONE-derland. I will weigh on my regular scale at work tomorrow, but I am counting it! I'm feeling pretty good. Just got back from a 4-day cruise to the bahama's. That was fun. My clothes are simply falling off of me. I'm in to 18W jeans and looking forward to 16s. I am going to Orlando in 2 months, I'd love to be down another 15-20 pounds, and I'd love to be down another size. That would be extremely sweet. I also have my class reunion in July (so 3.5 months from now) so again, I'd love to be down a bit more. Guess we'll see. I'm still shooting for 160 or so by my surgery anniversary. I hope I can make it. I'm also starting to jog a bit on the treadmill. That isn't fun, but it feels so good.
Ok, I guess thats all for now.

Well, I hit 90 pounds this week. WOW. 90 pounds. I can't hardly believe it. My cancer marker labs came back clean. YEA!! Nothing new really going on, just thought I should update!

Well, I think I'm down about 70 pounds, and the loss is MUCH MUCH slower now. I'm okay with that I think - as long as it keeps going down, I have lots of time in my head. I had posted a list of things I hoped this surgery would bring me, and I thought it might be good to check it out...so here we go:
1. I want to go to Cedar Point Amusement Park and ride every roller coaster without fear of not fitting. (I think I'll be able to do this in Summer 07)
2. I want to go through the turnstiles at disneyworld without trouble fitting through. Went to Disney in early December, had significantly LESS trouble than before, but still could use a little more schooch room. Planning a trip back in May (see #10), I bet I can check this one off then!
3. I want to get into One-derland (30 pounds to go)
4. I want to buy "normal" sized clothes (18 or under) (Hmm, when??)
5. I want to wear size 12 jeans (by my one-year anniversary??)
6. I want there to be no X's in my tee-shirt size (when??)
7. I want to buckle the belt on an airplane, and have a little bit of a "tail" to pull to tighten it...not have to pull it and squeeze in. (DONE DONE DONE - If I can figure it out, I'll post a pic of my "tail"!)
8. I also want the tray table on an airplane to come all the way down so I don't have to set my drink on my daughters' tray. (OK, so I did this...but I had to suck it in, and then I couldn't breathe, so maybe by May (again, see #10)
9. I want to get my entire house clean - and have a party! (I still hate housework, so who knows if I'll ever get to this!)
10. My biggest goal is to enter and finish the Danskin triathlon held at Disney World each May. This year, I am going to go and participate...and finish. (Got a bike for Christmas, so its time to start training!!)

52 lbs
Nov 03, 2006
I was stuck at 43 lbs for the longest time (this includes the 10 I lost before surgery)...I didn't think it would ever break. Well Tuesday morning (10/30) the dang scale moved - one little pound. So I cautiously checked my weight again this morning (Friday, 11/3)...THANK GOODNESS I think the stall is broken...I'm down another 8 pounds bringing my total to 52 pounds lost since I seriously began my journey. 10 before surgery, 42 since surgery in under 7 weeks. Sweet. Still have a long way to go, but what a great beginning!
