8 months out

May 30, 2013

Wow... How time flies.   I have been so happy with the way things have been going.  I have ha a few ups and downs but nothing can compare to the way I feel right now.  I have lost almost 200 pounds since I first started this journey a year ago... I still have issues sometimes with eating the wrong things.  However... I quickly remind myself that I never want to be that weight again.  I am exercising and drinking and taking all my vitamins.   I have done things that I never thought I would do.  I went to the beach this past weekend and rode on rides, and walked for well over 10 hours.  I never would have been able to do that  a year ago.  I give all the thanks to God and my family for supporting me and being there with me thru all my fits and battles... I still have a ways to go... 80pounds to be exact.  But.. I am doing it... The thing that scared me the most is the extra skin.. but you knwo what.. it isnt that bad.. I think that the skin is far better than all the fat that I had... I love my new life...

5 weeks out

Oct 25, 2012

I havent been on in a while.  I was really frustrated a week ago.  I got on the scale and had only lost 6 pounds in a month.  UGH.. I was so upset.  Then I talked with my nutrition and she gave me some things to change up.  I have decided to weigh myself every friday.  So, tomorrow I will go weigh myself and hopefully have lost somehthing.  I just feel so frustrated.  I do feel better as in I am not tired as much and I have lost almost 60 pounds.  I just really wanted to hit that goal by new years to say I have lost 100 pounds in a year.  I am moving more.  Tryin to get in the exercise more.  I think that will really help me burn more calories and stimulate my metabolism.  I will keep everyone posted..

Surgery Date.....

Aug 31, 2012

Hellooo Peoples....I went to my preop and they said that the insurance hasn't come back yet approved... But... The surgeon wants me to start my Optifast on Tuesday.  She scheduled my surgery for The 18th Of september.  She said that my insurance will be back in a few days and she is sure it will be fine.  So here we go.. My BORN Day is on the 18th.   I will text as we get closer.  I have made a meal planner up, and a tracker of protein and fluids so I can keep track of what I eat every day.  I am going to go get the rest of my suppies tomorrow.  Vitamins, Yogurts, Waters, etc... I did find a cheaper shake that ATKINS puts out.  YOu get 4 of them for 5 bucks.  It has 1 g of carb and 15 grams of sugar.  Surgeon said it was perfect for afterwards..   OK I will write later..

One step closer.

Aug 27, 2012

Today is my partners birthday.  I was in the grocery store with her and we were planning on cooking a nice dinner and I was going to buy her a cake.  Her favorite is the buttercream icing.  Thank God becaues I hate that kind.  Anywho, I notice that I had a voicemail on my phone.  So I called it... IT WAS THE SURGEONS OFFICE.   she was saying so much but all I heard was apt for surgical clearance.  I started to sweat.  I was thinking oooo my god.  This is it.  THis is it.  So I called her back and I set my apt for this Friday at 12:50 pm.  I am so excited, nervous, happy.  I can't believe I am actually to this part.  She told me I have to do optifast for two weeks and then I will have my surgery.  I don't exactly have a date yet, but she said when I come in on Friday hopefully she will have one for me.  So I will keep you posted.  This site has become addicitng.  I am on here every day for hours just reading other peoples pos and their pictures.  It really keeps me inspired.  I can t wait to start my new life being healthy......
