No, not ditzy.  I've been very dizzy lately- the past few months really. But, it's gotten bad. Not a day passes without at least one, if not more spinning dizzy brief grey out attacks.  I'm talking to my doctor, and so fat it's NOT a lot of things.  We did blood work. HEY! I'm healthy! I'm not deficiant in anything they can find! YAY!  We did a scan of my brain- It's not a tumor! YAY! I'm so glad there's not something nasty in my head knocking me for a loop. NExt, we're doing scans of my heart.  I don't have any appointments set yet, though I'm working on securing them, the specilist Tricare referred me to has either a very busy or a very lazy secretary as I can't get a hold of her to save my life. 

My weight is good, I'm dropping poundage again, slow and sure. Just a few at a time, the way I like it. I'm now at 165 ish depending on the day and the scale I'm on. (My moms scale is VERY nice! IT tells me such sweet things. Where as my scale likes to keep me guessing. I could weigh myself three times in one day and it'll tell me three VERY diffrent things!)

I took a few shots of myself in halloween getup, and I must say I look okay indeed! It's still so drastic to me, looking at the old picture, then at my new ones. I feel like I should have looked like this all along- that inside I was always like this. But it's obvious I'd really let myself go.

I've been patiently sitting at the weight of 170 (ish) for the past few weeks. It looks like my body has found it's comfort zone.  I'm pretty happy all together. I've lost far more weight then I ever estimated. I feel pretty, happy, and healthy. I'm not at my goal weight yet, but I'm really close. I know at this point it's a matter of picking up my exercise program a little and walking more if I want to shed these last few pounds. 


The updates:
Heaviest recorded weight: 335+
Weight before surgery: 318
Current weight: 170
Total weight loss: 165+
Goal weight: 150
weight left to loose: 20

Current weight: 175(ish)
Goal weight: 150 (ish)
Presurgery: 335+ (my scale went no higher)

Vacation was SUCH a blast. We visited my sis Chandra in Kileen Texas, she's doing pretty goodn, then we went to Kentucky (ALL IN A CAR, WITH KIDS!) IT was actually pretty cool. While we were out there we went to Kings island in Ohio, and I rode roller coasters! I could fit in all the seats I got in and had SUCH a blast.   On the way home we not only saw the gateway arch in saint louis we decidewd to go to the top! I'm DEATHLY afraid of heights so, for me this was astronomical! I'll post pictures soon, however I had the camera, so not many of me were taken ah well!

Whoohoo! Okay, I've actually been in the high hundreds for a few weeks now. However, I wanted to make sure I was staying there not just fluctuating in and out before I posted. But, as of today I'm making it official. I now weigh 195. I havn't weighed this little in over a decade. (I was 19!) I'd still like to loose a little more, but if I don't I'm pretty happy as is!

I'll be going on Vacation in mid-June. And when we get back sometime in July I've decided it's time to start consulting plastic surgens. I'd like to start makeing tenitive queries and see what my tricare is willing to cover. 

I'd want the abdominal lift, a breast lift (preferably without implants), and a thigh lift. These are the areas that actually cause me discomfort. If I got my arms done I'm pretty sure it'd count as an unnessesarysurgery - so though I'd like to have them done, I don't know if I will. Though It'd certainly make me look nicer in my sun dresses!

well that is all!

Dang- I must be looking nearly as good as my mom keeps telling me I do.  I went to a friends party, none of her friends (who I met last yea) reconised me at first. Score onein my favor. When they did the general comment was WOW! She had a small group of mostly female friends, and we all chatted and sang Karioke. Well, later in the evening one of her male friends started flirting with me. it was a little subtle at first, but he actually attempted the "brush and feel" - the meathod where they walk past you and cop a little feel.. He then apologised to my breasts. teehee!
Now I'm a happily married woman, and made sure he realised that, but it was nice. being looked at and flirted with again. Especially since he was rather nice looking.  I'm not going to start flirting with strange men just 'cause I'm hot again (For the first time in over a decade!) but dang! I'm cute to the oppisite sex! yay!

I couldn't stand seeing these long sad strands of hair in the drain. I'm shedding like a sheep dog! I take my protien, I take my vitamin, but alas my once thick head of hair was looking rather thin-ish and pathetic. So- to get over it I chopped it! My hair hasn't been this short since high school. The longest bit - in the front just hangs over my eyebrow. It's layered something fierce and looks pretty cute. Also it's low maitnence, and though I'm still shedding like a sheep dog it dosn't look liks as much hair is coming off, 'cause the strands are so much shorter. I'm pretty happy!

The stats:
Starting weight(before surgery) - 335+  Current weight-  219  Total weight loss- 116+ pounds!  Goal weight- 150  pounds to go- 69

Wow! I weigh 233 as of today, it's variable, but!  That's amazing to me. I weighed 335 as of January, and that's pretty much a guesstimate as my scale didn't even go that high! I'm amazed at what I've accomplished. I sort of miss eating like a normal person sometimes, but then.. man one look at my shrinking waist and I get OVER it!

Well, I'm at 257ish last weigh in, that'7 seven pounds away from one of my first (mini) goals. A total weight loss of 78 counting my 20 pound pre surgery weight loss. (58 if you don't count it),

I'm okay, pretty happy but it's suddenly so slow. I was getting spoiled by watching the weight fall off. Now it crawls off slowly.

How pretty the new features make everything! I'm weighing in at somewhere between 265-270 this week. I'm VERY unhappy with my weight, it's like I've been on a plateau FOREVER! (two-three weeks).
