1 Pound Please!

Jul 10, 2014

So I'm at 220.2. My goal for the month of June was to get under 220 and I'm still wrestling with the scale. Not to mention the fact that I have discovered that *every* time I ovulate and start my period (so twice a month) I gain 2 pounds until that cycle sect is over and then it's gone. So I really only have a good 2 weeks of productive weight loss before my body just stops due to the lovely Mother Nature. My goal for the summer was to be at 200 by Labor Day and it sadly seems I'm further away from that goal :(

I'm wondering if I should be eating more calories at 9 months post op or I've eating too much or working out too much or not enough. I thought I'd have this figured out by now!

28%

Mar 26, 2014

That's the amount of body weight that I've lost! Sometimes I need to find other ways to track my success because my BMI, though it went from a 56 to a 40 is still in the obese range! I'd have to lose another 60ish pounds before I was just 'overweight'. That can be a little daunting but at a little shy of 6 months post op, I've lost 94lbs. I didn't reach my goal this month but I still have to celebrate the victories that I do have!

Fat Eyes

Mar 08, 2014

This month I WILL reach 100lbs lost in 5 months! That's amazing! And I think I'll be at my halfway point! I'm so excited! For the first time I bought a size XL Nike workout pants in the regular sized section! WHUTT?!!! Now they were a tight fit and capris which gave me more room, but I'm still excited. I still have 'Fat Eyes' and tend to buy bigger sized clothing than I need. I bought a size 20 jeans that are now falling off but a 16/18 lounge pant and another 18 jean. I know you're not suppose to keep buying clothes but it's motivational for me to see myself get into sizes I have never been in as an adult. This summer is going to be EPIC, I'm excited to pull out last years clothes and try them on and excitedly put them in the growing donation pile. Oh, and I went to the Opera House, hadn't been in a couple months and I don't spill over onto my neighbor in the seat. Such an amazing feeling, and I enjoyed that more than the ballet because I felt like my fatness was no longer affecting people around me.

Goal

Feb 14, 2014

February: get in the 240's

March: get in the 230's

At six months I want to have lost 100lbs and I'm 18lbs away from that now! It's so very exciting because once I reach 100lbs lost I'll be halfway to my overall goal of weighing around 135. I can't wait until I hit that end goal and get to see a new me.

Update!

Feb 10, 2014

Ok, I burp consistently, like consistently. Anytime I eat or drink anything it begins this massive explosion in my belly. Now they stretched it back in January (the opening to my stomach) and I had relief for about two weeks and now it's back! I need to stop being as hard on myself, since I'm not even six months out, but I still feel like I should have myself more together. I'm almost at 80lbs lost, down 4 sizes, but I am still very impatient. And sometimes I don't want to get on OH because I have a really hard time comparing myself to other people, looking at their strides and wondering why mine are not as grand, but this is a personal journey.

In other news, my boyfriend is one step away from having the surgery and I'm very excited that we can be a on a weighloss journey together! He has his final weigh in this month and as long as he's lost the weight he can get a date! Also, I am sneakily awaiting him to truly understand what it feels like to not be able to eat what you want! Sometimes its torture watching people pack in the calories and your tastebuds tingle but the baby belly does not want it!

That is all :)

18 again

Jan 03, 2014

So I bought this fabulous dress from Torrid, ordered it online in a size 18, knowing that it would be too small but I went ahead and bought a size 20 jeans. My favorite pair are a size 22 and my fancy leopard and snake jeans are a 24. Well I had to get rid of the 24s because they looked like I had pooped my pants. And I felt like I could squeeze into the 20s and they looked great! Anyway, I'm planning my birthday party and my boyfriend suggested I wear the 18 dress...well clearly I haven't tried it on, and didn't plan on trying it on because it would be too small. But I tried it on to appease him and IT FIT! I haven't worn an 18 since I was 14/15 years old! My back was sexy, now I still had some tummy issues up front lol but it fit! And not, suck in a pray fit, but it genuine fit! So I've amped up my workouts and need to buy more spanx lol but I'll be wearing a size 18 on my birthday when last year's birthday I was wearing a size 24! Stay tuned for pictures!!!

270's

Dec 19, 2013

Say WHAT?! I can't believe I'm in the 270's! Just on the cusp, but still there! Working out is definitely worth it! I'm use to the new way of eating now, but I still hate exercising but at least it's paying off! My goal this month was to get to a solid 270 so only 9 more pounds and I'm there! Guess that means that I'm going to do that killer Zumba video again! Surprisingly (well maybe not) it's harder than walking 1 mile even though it's shorter! Thank you Jesus for this progress!

BMI Blues

Dec 07, 2013

Well...not necessarily blues....I guess I had forgot that a BMI over 30 is obese, so I am still a long way from losing that label. But on the good side, I did notice that when I change my weight on my tickler my BMI goes down too, so yay, 50% of me is not made up of fat anymore lol

Also, I read on a discussion board that one lady rewarded herself for her milestones, so when I hit my 50lbs mark I allowed myself to FINALLY buy some new clothes from torrid.com they're my favorite store and I got some great holiday sales and I did buy things 1 and 2 size smaller....so I'm weighting for those to arrive! Do I count 75lbs? My next mini goal is 270lbs by the end of this month. That is all for today! smiley

Figuring this out

Dec 05, 2013

So I've finally found a way to pacify my mind about changes in eating. I'm two months post-op and I've mentally come to terms with this new lifestyle. Like if it's something that I want to eat and can eat but it's too much at one time, I still put it on my plate because it makes me feel like 'this is mine, i can have it' and I just have to take forever to eat it! Like, take a couple bites of chicken, wait thirty minutes, eat more, and it really works for me and that way I don't feel deprived of eating what I want. Oh, and I'm so glad I found the 30g of protein shakes! If you're going to have to drink a shake, might as well get all you can!

Now, as far as working out, it makes a HUGE difference. And since I HATE blush working out, I have to track my progress like crazy so I know it's worth it! Days I work out I'll lose 2lbs. My goal this week was to try and work out 5 days a week. Now I'm only doing 10 minute brisk exercise videos, but it's consistent and I can do it. My goal next week is to do the 15 minute/1 mile walk 5 days. I'm looking forward to seeing more progress!
