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!

I met the beautiful and awesome BreBre07 today, it was nice to finally put a person with a persona. She's super sweet, and we have had a very similar journey. Yay! :)

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!

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. :)
