6 Month Update

Oct 29, 2008

Well hello to everyone out there in the OH world. Today is officially my 6 month surgiversary. Here are the stats so far:

Highest Starting Weight: 354 lbs (10/07)
Weight @ time of Surgery: 336 lbs (04/29/08)
Weight at 1 month out: 300 lbs (-36 lbs ss (Since Surgery == -54 lbs sh (since heaviest))
Weight at 3 months out: 262.8 (-73.2 lbs ss == -91.2 lbs sh)
Weight at 6 months out: 230 lbs (-106 lbs ss = -124 lbs sh)

Things I have accomplished so far:
1. Riding EVERY roller coaster at Great America!
2. Dropping down from a 2X/3X shirt to a Normal Large!
3. Dropping pants sizes from 28 (I did own ONE pair of 32's!!!) to a 20!
4. Crossing my legs like a "girl"!
5. Sitting in EVERY booth and having PLENTY of room!
6. Having my sister walk right past me because she didn't realize it was me! (That one was priceless)
7. ENJOYING working out and even looking forward to it!
8. Climbing stairs without being out of breath!
9. Bicycling to/from the gym!
10. Watching the scale go down and down and down, and being able to move from the highest block on a gym scale down to the next 50 lb block!
11. Incredibly better S-E-X!
12. Having multiple men interested (still a little surprising)!
13. Being called "Skinny", no matter how untrue it is!
14. Being called "The Skinny Friend" by my best friend who I have always been bigger than.
15. Buying underwear that are actually smaller than my shoe size!
16. Having to replace shoes (SO weird)!
17. Actually liking a picture of me and feeling like I actually look "normal".
18. Making healthy meals that taste great!
19. So many more...

This is an incredible journey. I haven't had any complications and I haven't had any problems eating anything, which I am so so so so thankful for.  I don't know if I'm losing enough on bottom, but I am sure my body will do whatever it wants to do, and at this point, I am totally fine with that.

I am making my plans to go skydiving in November, which I am SO incredibly excited about, that I can't even really explain it. It has been a lifelong goal of mine and I am so happy that I can actually physically DO IT  now! I will be posting before and after pics later on today.

Thank you all for your support and good luck to everyone considering GBP.

5 Month Update

Oct 02, 2008

Hello again. It's that monthly check in time again. So, my 5 months was 3 days ago. According to the gym scale, I am down to 240.5 lbs. Only 20 more lbs. until I get to jump out of an airplane!!! WOO HOO!!!

I'm still feeling pretty great, just trying to up my water intake and make sure to keep up with my vitamins. I am hoping to be down between 5-10 lbs. by my 6th month so I can meet and/or surpass my 100 lb./6 month goal. I still haven't had any problems with food, so I am VERY thankful for that. I chew VERY well all the time, so maybe that has something to do with it. Who knows?

By the way, I am ovulating and having a period regularly which I am SO excited about. I can't even explain it. This month I am going to try to chart my temperatures and notice my body signs to see if I can get an accurate timeline of my cycle so that when the time comes, I know my body well enough to get pregnant successfully.

I am trying to be in the gym at least 3 times a week and I tell you, it's funny because I actually look FORWARD to working out. Strange, isn't it? I love the newfound lease on life. Last Sunday I spent the day at Great America and rode EVERY rollercoaster. It was awesome!!! 

Next month I will update with my new weight and sizes with some pictures. See you then!!!

Not too fat anymore!

I had a terrific day yesterday. I have been on this weight loss journey the past 5 months. I am down 110 lbs. overall and I am feeling great. One of my biggest goals since the beginning of this was to be able to go to an amusement park and ride ALL of the Rollercoasters. I absolutely LOVE amusement parks and I haven't gone in years in fear of not fitting and being humiliated. Well, Jayson and I went yesterday for the first time in nearly 8 years. I was SOOOOOOOOOO nervous before EVERY single ride that my heart literally starting palpitating! Anyway, the first ride we decided to go on was "Flight Deck" (formally known as Top Gun- a WAY cooler name by the way). Anyway... the entire time walking up to the line I almost felt like I was going to throw up. I asked Jayson if he would mind riding in the back so that if I didn't fit I could run off to the side from the back instead of where EVERYONE could see me. He VERY sweetly obliged (even though he is a front seat guy). So, the time comes... the gate opens... the looming dread still inside eating at me... I sit down in the seat... I pull down the overhead harness... I grab the belt from below... I bring it up to the buckle... I try to snap it... it DOESN'T CLICK!!!... then I realize, I'm doing it wrong and I try it again... and... CLICK! It snaps shut! The overhead harness locks. I AM ON THE FREAKING RIDE!!! I FIT!!! I almost started crying and I was so excited! Needless to say, the entire day was spent on fantastic rollercoasters (where I fit on EVERY single one by the way!). It wasn't very busy so we hardly EVER had to wait in line. And if we did, it was a maximum of MAYBE 5 minutes. It was AWESOME. Great weather, great company, and a great day overall. I even karaoke'd in front of Great America! SO FUN! Anyway, that goal has now been accomplished and I am SO thankful for this newfound lease on life.
