So...I was really in the need of retail therapy so I went to the mall to check out the sales and....

I ended up with 2 items....a belt and a shirt and both were size....

LARGE!!!


Yay!!

This is the first time I remember buying a size large in a long, long time...actually, I honestly don't remember the last time I bought a size large!  yippee!!  Love it!!

So once again I weighed a day early and pretty happy with my results this week....3 pounds down.  Much better than last week, thank goodness.  I hope this week goes well and I am back in the gym as much as possible.  I was just checking out my ticker and it is so nice to see myself so far to the right now!!  That really feels right!! :o)

geese.....nothing more to add other than I hope for bigger news next week.

So, I went into Old Navy today and they were having a BIG sale.  I found these jeans that were marked down to $6 so I had to try them on.  It was only when I went into the fitting room did I see that they are "Skinny Jeans".  Ok, so I really know that I am too old for skinny jeans, but when I tried them on...wow!  They looked amazing on me and I have never said that about a pair of jeans.  So, for that reason and for the reason that they had the word "skinny" in the name, I bought them.  Yes, I am rocking a pair of skinny jeans and I look pretty damn good in them!

woo-hoo!!!

ok, so I had a really good week of eating right and exercising and I only lost 2 pounds.  I know that this is typical especially since I am getting so close to my goal, but I still wanted more.  o well!

Off to have another good week!!

I am excited to post that I am now no longer "Obese".  Today I officially went out the BMI range of 30 and into the 29's to make me in the "Overweight" category!! This is an exciting day even though I never thought I would be excited to be "overweight" it is sure much better than "Obese"!  I am so happy and I hope this will give me the drive to keep with the path to one day be in the "normal" range!!

As of today, I have lost 139 pounds!  That is so amazing and I am so happy for it!!!

Ok, so I am off and running and happy for it.  I actually made it to the gym yesterday and even though I only did stretching and laps in the pool, it is a start.  I also did not make a margarita last night with my new magic bullet that I bought with the purpose of mixing protein shakes but have since only made Margaritas!  I also took my vitamins this morning and weighed in.  I am down a couple more pounds from my last post which is great, but I am still 1/2 percent away from being out of "Obese" category.  I am not really sure what is below the Obese, maybe overweight?  I will take overweight over obese any day!  It is so weird to think I was "morbidly obese less than a year ago and I am so close to normal now!  Wow....life is amazing.  

So, I am off to have a good day...I hope to drink more water today and to make it to the gym again!  Wish me luck!

ok, so it has been a while since my last post and things are a little out of control.  I know I should be happy that I only came back from Christmas with 1 extra pound (I have lost it and 2 more already this week) but I also came back with an appetite!  I was tasting and eating everything over the holidays and had finally got to the state of mind, "Well, if it doesn't make me sick, I can have it".  Ohh, that is not good.  I also did not exercise at all.  Unless if you want to count the one pilates class I took on our cruise which was only for 20 minutes so I don't think that counts.  

Oh, also I must confess that I was nipping at the alcohol a little more than I should...that has to stop.  So, I am just going to tell myself it is back to get on board with the better life and hopefully this will only be a small stumbling block.  I know most people gain around 10 pounds over the holidays, but that is no exuse.  I have put myself through sugery and have worked too hard to mess up now....back to it!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season....back to reality!

Ok, this has to be a first!  I actually made it through Thanksgiving week without gaining weight...yay!!  I actually lost 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, which is a little surprising since I was munching more than I should and the only exercise I got was skiing and ice skating!  O-well, be happy for it all, right?

I am only one pound away from another 25 pounds and another picture.  So hopefully I will be posting soon with new pictures.  I may go ahead and post a few from my ski trip because I got some really cute ones.  It is really nice to like myself in photos and not to run from a camera!

So, I am doing another early weigh in today since I have my support group meeting tonight.  I am down another 2 1/2 pounds since last week...yay!  I am happy for that since I would probably be down 3 pounds if I waited until tomorrow.  I love it when I lost 3 pounds a week, I think that is a great thing.

So, not sure when I will weigh again.  I go on vacation to meet my family in Vail next week, so I will be away from my scale, so I will probably wait and weigh when I get back.  I am not sure how that is going to be, but I hope to be under 200 then.  I know I am going to be eating more with all the tempation and with being away from the gym, it may be hard.  I do plan to ski some and that should work off some pounds, right?  We shall see!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
