Well, I havent posted in a long while.  I havent had a computer at home and was limited on the pc at my old employers.  I have started a new job just a little over 2 weeks ago.  It is going great! 

I have been struggling with the weight loss issue. I can now eat more and I constantly worry I am going to get "fluffy" again.  I think I'm a little depressed. I eat more often, things I shouldnt, have stopped walking, etc. I got the "I donts" really bad. I am paying for Curves excercise monthly and I cant get myself to go. I do feel so good when I do go, its just getting there.   I have gained 5 pounds and am not happy. 

I am going to start the 5 day pouch test next week to get myself back in line.  Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I cant be the only one who gets in a slump.  Any suggestions?  You know, after the "new" wears off, you fall back into "life".  And sometimes it SUX!  I have set up an appointment to start seeing a counselor.  I think this will be great for me. 

I wish there was a support group in Palestine. It is so hard for me to get to Tyler.  If anyone in the Palestine area would like to meet every once in awhile and have our own little support group, please let me know!

My email is [email protected].  I dont check this site as often as I should.  I hope everyone is doing well!  Until next time....

 Well, I weighed today and I am at 161. I just cant seem to get to the 145 goal. Guess I need to step it up.  I have weeks I am hungry and other weeks I have to make myself eat.   I have enjoyed wearing smaller size clothing and being able to buy cute clothes. I am ready for this summer!

Well, its been awhile since I have written anything. I have had alot of personal stuff going on. I am down to 165 lbs, YEA! Cant believe it. 25 more to go. For a while, nothing was coming off, but I have started walking more and for longer. I also have been really trying to watch what I eat. One week I am starving and the next I am not hungry at all. Go figure. It is truly a rollercoaster ride with this surgery. I am so glad I did it!

It's been awhile since I have posted. So much going on with the holidays. I now weigh 170 on my scales at home.  Dr B said I should be able to get to around 140. That sounds good to me.  I cant believe I have lost this much weight.  I have also lost alot of inches but I also have alot of loose skin. I dont really like that but knew it would happen. I have to step up my excerising and make time to do it.  Gotta take time for myself! My hair loss has slowed down but it still comes out. I cut my hair even shorter but am gonna try to let it slowly grow out some. It is starting to look a little healthier. YEA!  I can wear size 14 jeans very comfortably. My mom gave me some 12's but they are so tight. My shirts are medium to large. I cant believe it! We went to a New Years Eve party and seen people I havent seen in forever. So many of them didnt even know who I was. That was the most amazing feeling. Kinda scary, but nice. I didnt realize I had gotten so over weight. Well, I knew, just didnt want to admit it.  What a wonderful way to start 2008!

Well, my weight has stayed around the same. I am going to start an intense workout routine to see if that will help. I have really slacked off on working out. I guess the weather, holidays... just excuses I know. I want to get down to 175 for Christmas. I gotta get to work. I have been feeling great. This has been a wonderful thing I did for myself.

Well, I finally got my head on straight and the weight has started to come off again. Yea!  I am down to 182 from my highest weight of 264 (254 on surgery day).  I cant believe how good I feel.  It is so hard to believe it has been 5 months. What an adventure!

I weighed today and have lost 2 pounds. It seems like the weight loss has slowed down. I was so sick at first maybe I just lost so fast at the beginning and now it is normal. I have made myself quit snacking during the day. I eat 5 small meals a day. Guess I need to change this!

Well, I am down to 190 # and have lost of inches. What a wonderful feeling! I can wear some size 16 clothes;some are tighter than others but wow, alot different than a size 22. I notice I have excess skin. I have been working out and walking but it doesnt seem to help just a whole lot. My hair continues to come out even though I have cut it all off. I do love the new do! I needed that! I have some suits I have been wanting to wear since the weather is getting cooler. But, I put them on and some are now too big! I can wear some but they are baggy. I find I dont like to wear baggy clothes like I use to. What a wonderful feeling! My weight loss has slowed some. I have found I am snacking probably more than I should. I have got to work on this!

My son is doing better. His incision came open a little and had to make a quick trip back to the dr. They adjusted his brace where he doesnt have any movement for another 2 weeks. He really hates not being able to play football. Me too! He is such an athlete but we have next year!

Well, my son broke his arm Thursday night playing football. He had to have surgery Fri and we got to come home Sunday. He has to have 2 pins and wire meshing in his arm. We go Monday for a brace fitting. Have not been eating or drinking alot; no time. I am very tired and my energy level has flown the coop!

Well, I did it. Went and cut off my hair. It kept falling out really bad. I like the new cut, just gonna take a little bit to adjust. My husband loves it! My friends and co workers were shocked!  It was good to go ahead and get a new do instead of waiting!
