I made my Christmas goal. Down 101 pounds this morning.  It was so exciting when I weighted.  I was shooting for the 100 pounds, but got an extra one.  God is good.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Now I am setting a new mini goal and looking forward to the new year.    I will turn 50 on January 12th.  So I hope to be down another 7 -10 pounds. 

Did not get the results that the doctor wanted.  I have lost 89 pounds which I thought was great.  He said I need to work harder. He said I should have been 100 + pounds by now.  He said I can only 500-600 calories, 15 carb grams a day.  He wants me to exercise more.  So I didn't get a very good report.  I feel great.  So I am trying not to get too down about this.  Everyone loses at a different pace.  I am just having a pity party today.

I hit a plateau for the last few weeks.  Benn about to drive me crazy up and down 3 to 5 pounds.  I finally lost 2 pounds.  Yea!!  I have a doctor appointment on 11/09/11.  I think he will not be happy with me.  I wanted to be down 100 pounds, but I am not going to make it.  I took my little dogs for a long walk this afternoon.  It felt great to get out of the house. 

I am going to stay positive because I can see myself getting back into old habits when the scales don't move down.  I need to focus on food is not my friend.  I am always been an emotional eater.  So I will continue to keep moving and journal my food intake.  I don't want to go back to 319 pounds.  I could not walk when I was at that weight.  Hope everyone else is having success.

I took my first class of Zumba on Monday night.  It was fun.  There was not a dry thread left on me.  It was great exercise.  I could not do all the moves, but kept moving.  I am going to try it again tonight.  Hopefully, I can walk tomorrow. 

I can't believe that I was able to get some smaller clothes.  I went to a Plus size consignment store in Hendersonville TN.  I got a sexy red leather jacket in a 1X.  Two designer dresses in size 20.  Needless to say I was like a kid in a candy shop.  I found lots of beautiful clothes.  I tried to not buy to much since I am still losing, but it felt really great going from a size 28 -30 , 4X to a 1X and size 18-20.  I even got one jacket that a 14-16.  Yea!!!  This really motivated me to keep on working at it every day. 

Just got back from vacation. Had a great time at the beach.  However, I realize that old habit come back really quickly if you let them.   I tried to be good and ate alot of grilled fish.   I pushed my luck and ate somethings that are not good for you.  I don't need to get back into my old habits of snacking on chips and ice cream.  Back to the basic today.  I did lose 2 pounds during the week.  So the walking an swimming must have helped.   

Went to see the doctor yesterday.  Everything is looking great.  Should find out my lab results today.  He said to keep up the good work.  I have lost 34.6% of my excess weight.  It is hard to get the walking in with all this heat.  I am going to try and do some  toning on the arms and legs from the house using a band that they gave me yesterday.  Hope everyone has a nice day.  Stay cool......

I went to the doctor this past week.  Off all of the heart medicine, diabetes, and half of the fluid medicine. My A1c was down to 5.7.  Dr. said I am almost normal.  The Lord knows I never been normal.   My cholesterol was down to a total of 119, got to cut the medicine in half.  I am still playing with 3 lbs.  I'll be up or down each day.  I working on getting it going down again.  I don't think it should have stalled this quickly 7 weeks post-op.

I haven't loss any weight for a couple of weeks.  Still having trouble trying to get enough protein in.  I went back on my shakes yesterday.  Is anyone else having in problems eatting.  I still having some dizzy spells.  I need to eat more and drink more I guess.  Any suggestions on getting the scales to start moving again?

Have some trouble trying to eat.  Everything seems to make me sick.  Also, getting the medicine down are difficult.  They taste is so bad.  I will see the doctor on Thursday.  I hope to get some answers.  The weight is coming off, but I know I need more protein. I just don't want anything to eat.  Tried an egg this morning.  I got down about 1/2 of it.    Everyone else hang in there.  I knew this journey would not be easy. I think I will go for a walk.  Get the mind off of everything.
