Sorry i havent been here to update for a while, things have been moving so fast with both my kids playing sports. I have also started playing Mens League Baseball again. Omg does it feel awesome to be back on the field again. I am able to do so many more things its unbeleivable. As of today i am down to 305 but my actual weigh in isnt until wed. so hopefully it will go down 4 more pounds lol, i want that 299 marker so bad. I am feeling great and eating has been a little tough but i can adapt to certain situations pretty good. But on Friday i went deep sea fishing and for some reason i couldnt eat or drink anything on the boat. Thank God i had a protein drink before i left just to get me through the day. oh yea fishing was awesome and had a great time.

4 Month Update

Mar 10, 2011

Well today is my 4th month since surgery & my 1 yr since i started this program & lifestyle change. I have always wondered what it would feel like if i lost a considerable amount of weight. Well its fantastic. i am down 168 pounds since i started the program & 105 pounds down since surgery. I always knew that i wanted this surgery but i wasn't ready in my own mind to have it. I so wish i had smartened up then but at least now its done and i feel great.

the other day i went to the gym and i walked 3 mile on the treadmill, 2 miles @ 3.3 & 1 mile @ 3.6....never and i mean NEVER have i ever done that. when i first started the gym i was doing 1.6 - 2.0....i am shocked. I have started a little lifting but with my kids busy sports schedule i just cant hit the weights as much as i would like. i did realize though how much i used my big body to lift things. its amazing how weak i feel sometimes comparred to the stuff i use to lift before.

well i will be updating some more pictures this week. i hope you all have a great week and summer is just around the corner WOOHOO!!!!!!

Week 16!!!!

Mar 03, 2011

Hey hows everyone doing?? I would like to start off by saying thanks to everyone for being so supportive of me in this process. Well on wed. i was very nervous to hit the scale. I have not had a 0lb loss yet since my surgery and i wasnt ready for one. I hesitated all day wether or not i wanted to go, i had only hit the gym 3 times this week but i was on the go everyday its still not at the intensity i get from the gym. so at like 2:30 i decided to go weigh in. My eyes were the size of basketballs -6lbs!!!!!! I have now finally hit the -100lb mark from my surgery date. I had made it my goal to lose 100 pounds within 4 months. I know that if i go by my date of surgery it hasnt been 4 months but if you go by weeks wed. was 16 weeks so i was super excited.

I could never have imagined that i would be @ 357 pounds. I was 380 coming out of high school & got as high as 544 at my worst. i dont count that in my weight loss because i varied in weight for years. I consider the day i started my seminar as my start weight and that was 520. So i have lost 163 pounds in 1 year. Who would have thunk it

I have to say that if it wasn't for my family,friends & all the great people on Obeisty Help giving me the confidense that i could do it and understanding that i cannot go back to my old habits that i couldn't have done it without them or you. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!!

Cya next week, pictures next week look out for them woohooo

Week 15 Update

Feb 24, 2011

Hello everyone!!!! Well this was a great week i lost 8 pounds this week & i have now lost 94 lbs since surgery & 157 since i started this program. I was very happy to show -8 this week after 2 weeks in a row of only losing 4 each week. I have been busting my ass at the gym & this week i started lifting with a trainer. Didnt realize how much of  a wimp i am now. I realized that i use to always use my weight to lift stuff . today we were doing bi's & tri's and i couldnt even bench 65 pounds. i was embarrassed. But thx to my trainer he kept my spirits up....

I am also excited about baseball & softball for my kids. i got a call tonight about coaching & honestly i think i get into it more then the kids and this year is gonna be great now that i can really coach instead of telling them what to do i can now show them.

I dont know how much longer i could have lived my life the way i was but i do know now that i am going to live everyday with high expectations & hopes for the future one day at a time.

Well i am off to bed soon but i just wanted to update and tell everyone about this weeks progress. Have a great night & weekend.

Week 13 & 14

Feb 18, 2011

Hello everyone!!!!! things have been going good. Last weekend me & some friends went ice fishing from Friday til Monday, we didnt do that great but we had a great time, I couldnt believe that i could be out on the ice without my feet swelling up or my back killing or wihout falling and being afraid i couldnt get up. Trust me cause i fell again this year and it was alot easier to get up. The only problem was my eating schedule got all screwed up & i could see it on the scale. The last 2 weeks i have only lost 4lbs each week but its better then nothing or better then gaining so i am keeping a positive attitude. I hit the gym again today after a 2 week absence and man did i feel the pain but it was well worth it.

I love my new life and wouldnt change it for the world!!!!!!

I have lost 149lbs since march 2010 & 86 pounds since November 10th 2010

I will be posting pics in a little while, have a great weekend and see ya next week

11 Week Update!!!

Jan 29, 2011

  Well this is my 11th week since surgery and i had my check up today with the Nutritionist & Psychologist. Everything is going well, I have lost 135 since i started the program in March & 73 since surgery. They also said my BMI went from a 72 to a 53. I have lost 38% of my weight and they say i have burned over 400,000 calories. I have also gone from a 60+ waist to a 54..from a 5X shirt to a 3X..from a size 14 wide shoe to a 13...I am very happy with everything so far. I am having some trouble with getting in the 1000-1200 calories that they want me to get in but they said to just keep working at it, which i will but when I have no desire to eat food it is tough. I told them today that if it wasnt for some of you guy on this forum that it would have been alot harder to deal with some of the issues that i have had. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH...I now weigh @ 383, I was 380 coming out of high school, how unreal is that. Have a good weekend guys!!!!!

Week 10 Update

Jan 19, 2011

Well its been 2 1/2 months since my surgery & I am feeling great!!!! Went to a dart tournament this past weekend and didnt play well but thats ok, usually i am eating salami sandwiches & chips & dip. It was harder then i thought it would be cause usually when we shoot darts we drink beer or captain morgan & coke. But with my new life it was time to change some of my old habits so i got to watch all the others make fools of themselves while i woke up with no hangover & didnt spend the night in the bathroom praying to the porcelin gods. But it was a great time, i even used the gym at the hotel.

Well today i went for my weekly weigh in and i lost another 7 pounds, i was so happy to see that i didnt gain weight after a dart tournament. Now i am down to 389!! 9 more pounds and i will weigh what i did when i graduated high school. So all in all it has been an awesome week. so here are my totals so far :

Highest Weight -544 - 7/2006 Starting Weight - 520 - 3/2010 Surgery Weight - 457 - 11/10/2010 11/17/2010 - 450 Week 1 11/23/2010 - 438 Week 2 12/1/2010 - 429 Week 3 12/8/2010 - 426 Week 4 12/15/2010 - 423 Week 5 12/21/2010 - 417 week 6 12/29/2010 - 409 week 7 1/5/2011 - 403 week 8 1/13/2011 - 396 week 9 1/19/2011 - 389 week 10 - WOOHOO!!!!!!!
