Aug 11, 2008
It's been forever since I've posted an update. The weight loss has been very slow, but I guess it's a normal stall, I'm not getting too excited about it. I am 7.5 months out from surgery, and have lost 84lbs since surgery... and 153 lbs since I started losing weight in September of 2007.... that is over 150lbs in less than a year... how could I ever complain!
It is becoming much more apparant how much plastic surgery intervention I will need... the belly and arms... YIKES! and I feel like my face is looking really old and hollow... and then of course there are my boobs, thank goodness for the bra!!!
Nothing exciting going on here... school starts next week, and we are knee deep in football practice/activities/etc... My baby is starting kindergarten this year and my second will be a senior in high school... this is a BIG YEAR! Thank Goodness I am much SMALLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It feels good....

Six Month Surgiversary Tomorrow....
Jun 16, 2008
I had hoped to break the 200lb mark by my 6 month anniversary... I missed it by 1.5lbs... but who is counting?!?!?! Ok, ME ME ME ME ME ME!!! Maybe by some fluke of nature, I'll wake up in the morning and weigh 200lbs... I have definately learned this year that ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is possible... and I now can dare to dream.....
Size 14 & No Longer Obese!!!!
Jun 07, 2008
I am so excited, I just checked out my current BMI and I am just plain overweight and no longer obese!!! Less than six months post op, and no longer obese, that is pretty amazing... when I consider that just 8 months ago my BMI was 52, it is overwhelming....
Tonight I spoke in front of about 250 people... CEO's, Board Members, Community Members donating money, and physicians from my hospital system... I "roasted" my favorite physician (also a close personal friend)...I was scared to DEATH!!!!But the evening was a huge success... I never would have been confident enough to speak in front of hundreds of people even six months ago, and tonight, I relished in the applause and cheers and laughter from the crowd.. it felt great...
What felt just as good was the fact that I was in a size 14 dress!!!! And heels!!! When I went out dress shopping on Tuesday, I took my 19 year old daughter along for support... it was just awful to realize that after losing over 140lbs, I still look like crap nakked in the changing room mirrors... and SO MANY Dresses were COMPLETELY OUT because my arms are so saggy and my belly is so gross.... BUT, it felt TERRIFIC to try on 14/16 at Lane Bryant and Macy Woman and have them SWIM on me!!! I couldn't even believe it... I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE IT.... so then I tried on about 30 dresses at the regular old Macy's... and found out that I wear a size 14?!?!?!?!? Talk about WOW!!!!!
I am still hovering right above 200lbs... it is my goal to be below 200 by July 4th... I think I can do it... the weight loss has been SLOW SLOW SLOW, but at least it's still trickling off... and I have been eating out at restaurants, parties, and even an overnight trip to Dillon's Beach with six girlfriends- where we ate and DRANK very well.......I have been having the time of life, because I can actually LIVE my life again...... what a blessing!
Updated pictures coming soon!

Yeserday, a HUGE WOW moment... I was at Open House with my family for my 6 year old/1st grader. I wanted to buy myself a school t-shirt... so I go up to the lady and ask for an XL or a 2XL and she said, "Sorry, we are all out of those sizes" and I said, "What about us fatties!??!?" and she said, "the shirt is for you? How big do you think you are??? You are easily a large!"... soooooooooooooooo I said, "really?" and she giggled...and I said, "OK" and bought the shirt, and it FIT! It FIT!!! Can you believe it? I got a large t-shirt, like everyone else, and it fit.......... Just one year ago, I was in a TIGHT 5XL.... I believe in miracles!!!!
