13 months

Feb 28, 2009

13 months out. 

I have lost 160 pounds in 13 months for a grand total of 182 pounds and 43 more to go.  I feel okay but am depressed.  I am not able to eat as much as I was a month or so ago.  So, I went back to 1 protein shake a day for the last week.  I increased some of my other meds and have had 2 better days yesterday and today.

I am still proud of my accomplishments but have been on a stand still for almost 4 wks except for .4 ounces.  I guess that is normal.  I have gone down from 5x to 18 in pants and 5x to 16 in shirts.  I still need filling up top  My recent accomplishment was going to JCPennys this week about new panties for $.49 each.  I am wearing "normal" sizes.  I am waiting on the day for "onederland" to come.  Hopefully sooner than later.

Have a wonderful day.  Sorry you have to listen to me but this is my way of getting my thoughts out.

11 months out

11 months out

I have lost 149 pounds (since surgery) for a total of 171 since April 2007.  What a remarkable year.

I am feeling great.  I painted for 2 days solid sore but no other problems.  I was on "vacation" for 2 wks over the holidays and cleaned my house from top to bottom.  I would have NEVER been able to do that before.  It makes me feel GREAT.

I do wish I would have never tasted sugar.  But I promise I am going to limit my "little" sweet tooth.  I did not gain any weight over the holidays which I am very proud of.  I also did not exercise at all in December (no time).  I will get back next week to my usual routine. 

The looks I am getting from men is incredible.  It is funny even when my husband is there (but my husband's comments are the best and so are his actions he!! he!!).  I actually exist in this world now.

I have gone from size 32 in January 2008 to size 18 in some clothes.  My bra size went from 54C to 44B (still to big in the cup) (may have to fix that problem when tummy tuck time comes).  How wonderful!!!!!

For those that have had surgery keep up the great work.  For those anticipating surgery it is the best choice you can make in life except for accepting the Lord Jesus Christ.

10 months down.

I have lost 142 pounds.  Still have 61 more to go by July 2009.

Feeling good.  Still have some "girgling" and weird feelings in my stomach.  Skin is starting to really annoy me.  Would love a QUICK tummy tuck today but it will just have to wait.  THANK GOD FOR CLOTHES. 

Some days I feel like eating the house then other days you have to force me to eat.  I know it is not good but that's life.  I probably should start protein shakes again to boost my weight loss (slow month) but have gotten so tired of them, not interested.

Any others suggestions for the next few months would be greatly appreciated. 

Have gone from 32 (5x) to 18/20/22/24 (XL).  Just bought a leather jacket XL.  I can even where my husband's XL t-shirts.  I don't think I have ever been able to do that before.  We just celebrated our 12th anniverary.  Actually, we didn't celebrate (4 kids) doesn't give you much time to do anything.  Just being together is wonderful and knowing that he loved me when I was FAT, FAT, FAT but really loves me when when I am just FAT.  

It is so wonderful to have all the comments about where did you go, you are so skinny.  Even one of my Judges called me into chambers to tell me.  That really made me feel good.  I know I have lost another person (HA, Ha)  but wish I could be skinny today w/full tummy tuck.  It will come I know it will.

Sorry for going on so much, just needed to vent.

I have lost 133 pounds since January and 155 pounds since April 2007 and have 70 more pounds to lose by July 2009.  I will make my goal(s). =)

Haven't exercised for 2 wks because I burned my left index finger (2nd degree), extremely ill w/laryngitis for 2 wks (no talking - no voice) and now have pulled a tendon in my right upper arm.  So, prayerfully soon I will be able to return to exercising.

Still am glad I had the surgery with no regrets. 

8 mo out

Sep 29, 2008

I have lost 123 pounds in 8 mo and 145 pounds since April 2007.

Still exercising but not losing as fast.  Hormones are all out of wack but learning to deal with it. 

Doing well over all but would enjoy movement on the scales more frequently and with more quantity.

7 mo out

I am S..L..O..W..L..Y.. losing. 

I have lost 116 pounds in 7 months and 138 pounds since April 2008.  Feel better with more energy, still could use more w/4 kids.

Still having a problem being able to eat much at a time, sometimes 3-4 bites.  Not sure if I am getting all my protein in by food.  Probably should go back to protein shakes but don't really want to.

6 mo out

6 mo out - I saw PA & Dr. Lord today.  I have lost 104 pounds since January 28, 2008 and 126 pounds since April 7, 2007 (1st appt w/Dr. Lord).  All labs/blood pressure normal.  =)

I am so excited of the change.  It is hard for me to see it but when I saw my picture in my file I was shocked.  I am not conceited but I am proud of myself.  I have lost 50% of my goal in 6 months.  (My mom would have been proud of me, no, she is proud of me just can't tell me).

On January 28, 2008 I was wearing size 32/34 or 5x.  Today I tried on some clothes and 3x were toooooooo big, WOW.  I could wear 22 or 2x.  YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I promise I will continue to fight until I reach my goal and of course will maintain it.


 

5 months out

Jun 30, 2008

I am 5 months out now.  Wow time is flying.

I have lost 96 pounds since surgery and 118 pounds since I first met w/Dr. Lord in April 2007.

I am so proud of myself.  2 yrs ago I would have never believed this could or would happen to me.  Dr. Lord gave me the incentive to lose weight but I have done most of the work.  

I have more energy today than I think I had 10 years ago.  That is so cool.  I can keep up w/my 3 & 5 yr olds.  I still can't run because of my knee but I can do more with them now than I could last year.  Yeah!!!

Going on vacation on Friday for 10 days.  This is my 1st vacation in a year except for when I had surgery which was not a vacation =)  I am looking very forward to a break.  I have been under a lot of stress with work, kids, weight, body readjustments, etc.

Sorry I am rambling but felt like I need to vent.

100 pounds

May 29, 2008

I finally have lost 100 pounds since April 7 (the 1st time I met w/Dr. Lord) and 78 since surgery (01/28/08).  I am so proud of myself.  It hasn't been easy but it will be worth it in the long run. 

I am still waiting on my energy to appear.  I have been having breathing problems the last 2 wks.  My primary is checking my blood for infection, etc.  I will survive this.

4 months out

May 25, 2008

I am almost 4 months out.  I have lost 76 pounds since surgery.  I am FINALLY under 300 pounds.  Wow, it has been a long time since I could say that.

Food, meds and drink are doing fine.  No problem.  Won't see Dr. Lord until July 28.  (6 mo checkup)

Hope everyone has a Happy Memorial Day and remember those that gave their life for our freedom.
