Under 200...

Oct 15, 2010

So, i am lingering around 199 right now, and am in a size 12/14 pants and 14/16 top.  I went shopping the other day for fall clothes and shopped in the REGULAR sizes.  Several XL tops later... and even a pair of TEEN leggings... I feel amazing! 

This has been a great decision for me, overall, and I am excited that I am finally healhty and feeling wonderful :) 

Thanks to everyone for the support!

Size 12!!

Jul 12, 2010

Yeah, I bought shorts at WalMart (Danskin Bermuda Shorts) that were a L (12/14).  I was so excited.  I have never worn a 12, I went from a Pretty Plus 16 to an adult 14 back in the 80's.  

I also am a standard XL at Old Navy.  

This is very exciting!

From 22/24 to 12/14 in @ 6 months. Yay!!!

It's Official - I am not diabetic!

Jun 15, 2010

A1C was 5.8!  Iron, Protein and Vitamin D were all in the normal range, though Iron was a tad low, so I am going on supplements.  I am super excited!  I also only have 33 lbs to go!  :) 

How is everyone else out there doing?

Plateau

Jun 09, 2010

I have been stuck around 215 since May 23, with no real downward momentum... any suggestions?  I am thinking that the gym isn't enough, maybe I need to swim too?  

I am really happy with my current weight, but I am so close to my goal, the plateau is killing me! :D

A Little Freaked...

May 16, 2010

So, this isn't weight related, but I need to talk about it and don't really want to be emo in Facebook or LiveJournal. 

I had my first screening mammogram 2 months ago, it came back with "dark spots".  I went in for a diagnostic mammogram and they said I needed to do an MRI because the dark spots are milk glads that have blockage... they think papilomas...

I have a huge family history of Cancer (both grandmothers, grandfather, aunt, and father) and I am a little freaked over this, but I have nobody to talk to about it.  My husband is one of those "it's fine" people, until I know he wont really talk about it... and my best friend is dealing with her own stuff so I can't talk to her...

So bear with me... because I am pumped about being over halfway to my goal and getting healthier... once I am over this hump I'll be fine again... and I should know something next week when I do the MRI.  (IF I have to go to a surgeon or not).

*hugs*

Graduated with a AA and Working Out

May 11, 2010

I finished my last class required for my AA Degree, now I am onto taking online Art Classes for my BA in Interactive Media and Design.  I am also headed to the gym, I haven't been working out much since surgery because school was eating all of my free time, but I am headed back tonight and am ready to go!  

Gotta tone this body, 50lbs down is a lot to tone too! :D

People are starting to take notice!

May 02, 2010

I saw a friend last night that I haven't seen since surgery, she didn't even know I had it done.  She immediately started asking how I lost weight and told me I looked amazing.  It feels good to have people notice... though it helps that I am wearing clothes that fit now, I was wearing my 22's until last week... :D 

By the way, that same friend, is now the owner of about 8 outfits that I no longer fit in, and I am encouraging her to come work out with me. :)
