Weight: 193
Loss: 109 pounds (122 from highest)
Size: 12 (OMFG!)

To think in just 2 more months I'll hit my year. O.M.G!!!! Its crazy how time flies. I remember the first months were slow and hard and after the 4th month it seriously flies by. I'm happily here at work, eating a half size wendys apple chicken pecan salad (so damn good) and decided to write a blog for my 10th month.

Life is good. I have to say it. It gets SO MUCH better. Everyday I get a piece of me back and pieces I never knew existed. I'm just SO HAPPY and feel SO BLESSED. Life is good. BEST, BEST, BEST, B.E.S.T. decision I ever made... ever.

Tonight I'm popping over my dads to upload my 10 month vlog on youtube. I've missed the last two months (which is explained). I miss everyone on here and my youtube family as well. I've just been so damn busy with work and being a gym rat lately.

Last night I ran at 4.8 mph for get this and hour. And I wasn't even huffing and puffing or being sweaty Mc Sweaters. I was just pushing on and giving it my all. I bought some new workout pants, get this... size medium. Yeah... crazy.

Life is good. My jobs great and busy. My new car stormy kicks ass and my families all in good health and spirits. And I'm in ONEDERLAND... who would have thought in 10 months I'd get here. The girl who lived her young adult and adult life over 250. AWESOME.

When I have free time want to set up a meet up. I'm thinking VEGAS this summer or late spring. I just want to do my research first and then set a date. That would be AWESOME.

Everyone take care and Keep Rocking it.

LOL. If you were once a fatty (or fat minded as I STILL and ALWAYS will be) you know what that means... lol

Technically I\m 198 as of this morning. Hurray!!! I swear it felt like I was bouncing from 201- 200 for months.

Life is good. I am a certified workoholic but I really love what I do. The Tattoo biz is awesome and full of escentric and fun people. I\m on my lunch in fact, hi jacking the office computer as of right now.

I apologize for not being on as much. No internet at my house and again, I'm working ALOT. lol But I am VERY VERY happy with my weightloss. Its slowed the past couple of months but I'm happy where I'm at. There was a time there where I wasn't making protein first and eating on the go and putting myself last on the list and now my hairs falling out again... : (

But I'm back on track, back to making myself first. I gave myself my gym membership back for christmas and have been going everyday after work. So I go about 5-6 times a week. Its really nice now. I can jog for 45 mins straight without pain AND I'm no sweaty Mc sweaters anymore. I'm normal,,, yay!

I'm planning to put up a youtube vlog on the 24th of this month. I've been so bad and missed my last two month so I really need to get back on. Say hola to my youtube buddies too.

Everyone Take Care and keep Rocking it

I don't know if I mentioned this... but I got an awesome job at a Tattii Supply Store. You know how you don't think life can get any better, well... it can. I'm SOOOOO thankful for my job, my health, my family and there health. Life is good and this morning it just got better, I fit into size 14's comfortably... YES!!!

Life is good and exciting. I've been super busy with work. I'm just VERY thankful and excited that life is soooo good.

I'm paying off debt and saving for my nips and tucks. I just posted my 7th Month Vlog on youtube (i Know... I'm late) lol.

I'm just SUPER DUPER happy and I know only better things are to come.

Today a year ago... I was home with my mom, had the worst binge ever, feeling TERRIBLE about myself and debating whether WLS was the right choice for me. I was missing out on life and feeling like shit about myself. So by the end of the night  I officially decided to get the Sleeve. YAY!!!!

Now, a year later and 7 months postop, I'm down 92 pounds!!!! WOO motha fuckin HOO!!!!

So much has changed since my last update, first and foremost I got a new job and its WAY better than my last, present (soon to be X) job. lol I now work at a Tattoo Supply store (thanx lodi for hooking me up) and I freaking love it. My boss is the shit and the hours are awesome, pays good and its close to home... YAY!!! I'm truly counting my blessings. My current job at the theme park is cutting my hours big time so I just gave my two weeks. No more wasting gas for minimum wage.

Life is good, I fit into 14's!!!! OMFG!!!! I think I was 9 the last time I fit into 14's. Its freaking crazy. I have a WAIST, yeah... who knew that existed on me. lol I have bones I thought came missing out of my box... its INSANE. My knees keep clanking together when I lay sideways and my hips keep digging into my matress. I also notice my hands are big for my arms that are now thin, so I'm walking around with these huge man hands. lol

So... I'll learn to love them.

Everything is SURREAL... I guess thats the best word to describe it. I catch my reflection in the window or glass doors at work and I'm like "thats not me." and I do a double take. Life for the "Always been fat" girl is being rattled and I'm taking it one day at a time.

Flirting, getting noticed, people treating me differently is WEIRD. Again, I take it one day at a time, one situation at a time.
WEIRD, WEIRD, WEIRD... Twilight Zone... Or SKINNY ZONE.lol

EveryOne Happy Halloween and Keep Rockin it.

So as I'm finishing week 28 I'm dropping weight like crazy. I have officially passed my lowest adult weight which was 217 and now I'm at 214.2. Oh My BEGEEZES!!!! Its insane.

I'm still working out and learning boxing. I'm viewing "myboxingcoach" videos on youtube and adding them into my routine. I've also been working ALOT and planning ahead with the food. Jotting in myfitnesspal religiously and just really focusing on the mental aspect of using my tool. 

PreOp when I got off of work I was ravenous. I didn't care, I just ate whatever I could get my hands on, go into a food coma and go to bed. Horrible. Now I get off of work and I don't have that anymore. If its late at night I got to bed. If its around dinner time, I take my time and serve myself a pretty plate and enjoy. No rush, no grehlin gremlin on my back and its SO NICE!!!

Its been a STRESSFUL week but I haven't turned to food. My 86' Celica died. Started fixing up a 02' Ford Escape, put $ into it (tune up and oil change and tires) and was driving home and then... the axle broke. OMFG!!!! I fix one thing and another thing breaks. Its becoming a money pit and I'm scared. lol So I can't get it fixed till thursday and I have work so my brother in laws coming to fix it while my dad takes me to work and my sisters picking me up at 2am. Just alot of stress but I'm staying away from the kitchen. Keeping busy.

Another thing thats been happening is... I'm a photographer and there's guys hitting on me while I'm working... I mean, thats never happened before. They've called me beautiful, gorgeous, sexy... me sexy. Its weird. They even ask for my number, I mean? C'mon. It's definitely a 360, I don't think anyone, other than my family and friends, have called me beautiful.

It makes me angry because... 1. I feel like I've cheated myself and 2. I'm the same person I've just lost weight. I hate that society now sees me as a PERSON and before... what was I?

Enough of the rant...

Everyone Keep Rocking it and killing it.

So I just hit 6 months about a week and a half ago (i know I'm late). I made my youtube vlog and feel REALLY good. I'm down 86 pounds as of this morning and I feel splendid. I definitely think month 4 and 5 were so bad because of stress. Trying to find a job and everything just ate me up or had me eating everything. lol

But now... I have a good job that I love. I love it, its alot of fun and I'm running around taking pictures, working with customers and all my co workers are cheese balls like myself. So we all get along. lol I'm paying off debt (hosptial bill and credit card) and I feel really good about my image, my body. I'm still exercising, doing kick box cardio and weights. Everything feels like its falling into place, I'm definitely in the groove.

At 6 months I feel weightloss has slowed, not a WHOLE lot but it has. I feel like I'm eating less and working out more and yet I'm fighting for those pounds lost. Its weird but hey... I'm losing and getting my energy and stamina and strength back. I can't complain.

I'm REALLY excited for the next 6 months. I set a goal for New Years, to hit 190-185. I think thats VERY doable. I feel like I'm in such a good place with food, I'm not stressing over it, I'm fueling my body, sometimes I indulge but its not an everyday thing. I definitely found my balance, my groove, it took my 5.5 months but hey... I found it.

Everyone Take Care. Keep Rocking those Sleeves. We're going to get to goal.

Hi my OH family,
For almost two week, every morning I've been getting up and exercising. I've been doing cardio with weights to my favorite songs or kick boxing moves to metal (lots of fun) basically anything for 45 mins to get my heart pumping and sweat flowing. I'm sore as hell but it was ALL worth it....
Since I've started I've lost 7.8 pounds. OMG!!!!! Not only that, I feel so empowered and my body is new to me. I can do things now I could never do at 314. I mean, its TRULY amazing. I admit, in the beginning I couldn't find my groove with the exercise, it was tedious and boring and now... I LOVE IT.

Job front, I got the job!!!! The pay is lowsy but at least I have a job. Not only do I have this job, I run around the amusement park ALL day (burning calories) take pictures AND I work Halloween haunt... fun. So I am very blessed and appreciative of my new gig. My mother and most of my family tell me I'm crazy for getting this job because I'm too good for it. It really bums me out but I ignore them, I'm happy I got this job. I won't be stuck in an office all day feeling bored and anxious. I can be running aroound in a positive atmosphere getting some much needed exercise. :)

So I train on Monday and Orientation on Tuesday. I'm really excited. One downer is I start that weekend, which is the weekend of the NorCal Meet :( I'm going to have to miss this one and hopefully I'll be able to attend the next. SHout out to everyone whose going "Shake those booties!" ;)

Stress level is DOWN... finally. The job and gaining control of eat and food has helped alot. At night I still struggle though. Last night I wanted something sweet and started looking around the cupboards. After looking I went to the firdge and took out a green apple. Sliced it up and ran to my room and enjoyed.... it was DAMN good. lol and I'm happy I made that choice instead of the stale chocolate chip cookie I had my eye on. lol

In this mental battle, I won today. But I know that somedays the stale cookie's will win too. I just need to NOT beat myself up about it and push on.

2 weeks till my 6 month goal. When I started this journey I wanted to hit 100 pounds lost in 6 months but for now I'll take 85 pounds. So the next two weeks, my goal is to hit 217, 4 more pounds to go to hit 85 pounds lost.
I know I can do it. With my job and new found love to kick butt in exercising... I can do it. I will get there.

Everyone Rock it out. Kill ii. We're doing it and getting to goal

Hi everyone,
Sorry I havent been on, no computer, had to wrestle my lil sister to use hers. lol So I'm taking full advantage and updating photos and putting up my Month 4-5 Vlog on youtube.

I'm doing VERY well. This week I have a job interview and my 6 month check up with my surgeon (Sept 24th is my REAL 6 months). lol Send me some good vibes, I so need a job. I've been bouncing from 226-228 all week, I've noticed I do this for about two weeks then a chunk of weight comes off, like I was 232 for the longest time then in like 4 days I got to 228. Its weird. I know my bodie does this, thats why I don't stress like I used to.

I enjoyed this labor day weekend and had so much fun, went to a party on Saturday and saw people I hadn't seen in a while and they were noticing my loss and I felt SO GOOD. I was washing the dishes last night when I saw myself in the reflection of the window and DAMN, I can really see it, especially in my shoulders arms and neck. My waist too but not as much. But its crazy how much I've melted away.

I've been exercising like mad this past week, no loss though but I know the weight will come off. I've been jogging in the morning then doing pushups, situps, crunches, weights ect. Old school workouts and I'm so SORE but it will be worth it. I've always had alot of muscle on me and I can really feel and see the difference this extra effort is doing to my body and motivation. My gym pass is frozen since I can't afford to pay the bill. So I make due with what I got.

Hope everyone is Rocking there Sleeve. This month has been ALOT better regarding food and mental hunger. I'm just happy with myself and the progress I've made. I'm excited for the future and I pray I get that job for peice of mind. lol

This morning I reached the half way mark ( actually surpassed it by 2 ounces) lol. So I am just DAMN happy. Thats the best way to describe it. I am just so THANKFUL that I went and did something brave and amazing and here I am 4 1/2 months later and at my halfway point.

Today I'm going shopping which I have'nt done. I've just be living in old high school clothes. I was punk so good news is all the skinny jeans are in. lol I need to get a cute outfit for my cousins baby shower. I'm really excited to see distant familu, they haven't seen me in like two years. Last time they saw me I was 314 and now, i'm 230. Pretty cool. After... tonight Jennchap is coming down and all us socal sleevers and other WLS peeps are going to meet at a bar in fullerton. Fun!!!!
I'm carpooling with SleeveJeani. I love her. Tonights going to be som much fun.

My fourth month was CRAZY. I know its because my nut told me to eat a 1200 cal diet and I was BARELY losing and that got me really down. I was stressing over that and hairloss AND joblessness. So yeah, I know where I went wrong. I went on OH and asked how many calories people were eating 4 months out and eveyone told me 800 or lower. Once I cut my calories down again to 800 I started losing again. Not only that I eat protein like 90% of the time. I cut carbs as much as possible. But I do eat veggies and an occasional fruit.

I feel better. I look better (got a new haircut) and I'm just happy again. Feels good to be in control of you again.

I hope everyone is doing kick ass. Will try and post some pictures of me outfit tonight.

Hi there OH friends,

Today is my 20 week weigh in and I've lost 70 pounds!!!! Woo Hoo. So happy and excited.

4th month was terrible. I lost 10 pounds and it was a miracle I lost that. Long story short, head hunger+ eating crap. Looking back I know it was due to stress. Looking for a job and hair loss really got to me. But I have good news on the job front. I have an interview first week of September!!!! Totally excited. I can't wait. Its giving me more motivation to stay on plan.

This week I really pulled it together and lost 4.8 pounds. Awesome. I stopped snacking, made lean protein first and only have 3 meals a day. The first two days were HARD, head hunger really got to me but I pervailed and now I'm good. I've also been exercising, doing cardio and free weights. I'm just really happy I got back on track and the scale is moving again. I really love it when I drop a huge amount, it makes me feel nice.

I've been lagging on photos and youtube updates. Honestly I really had nothing to report but I am going to do one soon. I have 2 weeks till my 5 months so I'll probably do it then.

Everyone Take Care and Keep kicking ass
