Well as of this morning I weigh 202 lbs!  My weight loss has slowed down to about 8 to 10 lbs loss per month but it is still coming off!  I now have 52 lbs to go to reach my goal!  that is so awesome!  My goal is to be there by this summer!  I remember when I first had surgery (almost a year ago) and how daunting I thought having 224 lbs to lose was and now I'm only 52 away!!  This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself and I'm so happy!  Like my background picture says...I am reclaiming my confidence this year!!

weighed in this morning at 214 lbs...thats another 10 lbs which seems to be my monthly weight loss these days.  I'm frustrated because I'm 10 months out and I know my window of the honeymoon period is growing shorter and shorter.  I still have 64 lbs to lose to reach goal!  I have lost 160 lbs since I had surgery in January and that makes me really happy but...there is always a but..I will be happier when I lose the last 64!

Well I'm at 224 lbs now...that means I've lost 150 lbs!  Its definitely great, but I am bummed at how slowly it's starting to come off now!  What happened to losing 10 lbs overnight? LOL  My doc warned me that these next few months it would begin to slow down but that my body would keep changing.  Mentally I knew he was right, but I was still kinda hoping it would be faster.  I have 74 lbs to reach my goal!  I'd like to be there by next Spring...April at the latest.  That might be reaching, but I'm going to try really hard to get there!

Currently weighing in at 233 lbs!  That means I am down 141 lbs in 7 1/2 months!  I will be 8 months out on Sept 22nd.  I have 83 lbs to reach my goal of 150 lbs!  It's been a crazy time...have been very busy with work and my family but all is well.  

I've been very fortunate to not have any health issues or problems since having had surgery.  

It's still the best decision I ever made.  I hope to lose the last 83 lbs by next Spring!  I'm sure I can do it!

Weighed in this morning at 244!  That is 130 lbs gone!  Unbelievable that that happened in 6 months and a 8 days!  

I now have 94 more lbs to lose to be at my goal of 150 lbs.  My goal is to get there by this time next year.  Hopefully sooner, but I'll take what i can get!  I still have 14lbs to lose to get to my Labor day mini-goal.  I'm wearing some size 16's and some 18's which is great!  I was at a size 28 before surgery.

I've hit some stalls along the way and worried that I wouldn't lose anymore but when I look at the big picture I see how far I've come.  I sometimes wish I'd wake up in the morning and the rest of the weight will be off, but maybe it's better that it is coming off slowly.  

I do need to up my excersize though!  I don't work out nearly as much as I should.  It's so hard to get into that work out mindset when working out is so foreign to me! lol.  I am doing better at it though.

Well...back to work now..just wanted to give an update!

Well I'm a little over 5 months out and I am down 119 lbs!  I now weight 255 lbs!  Crazy!  I just set my Labor day challenge goal to be 230.  I passed my 4th of July goal of 260!  

I am doing well these days...joined a gym and am trying really hard to stay focused during this time of picnics and such!  

It's harder than I thought! 

Hey all! down to 269 as of this morning!  I am now officially down 105 lbs! 119 and nineteem to go!  Right now I'm just trying to get ro 260 by July 4th!  I'm really hoping I get there!  Trying to just keep to mini-goals rather than overwhelming myself with the big picture.

I am 3 months and 1 day out and down 85 lbs! I now weigh 289 lbs.  Not too shabby consindering where I started!! I'm hoping to lose 15 more before I go down to Florida at the end of next month.  We'll see!  I'd love to hit that century mark before then!  

I added a rencent pic to my photos (taken this morning) to show the change I've had physically...which honestly, pales in comparison to the internal change I've had!

Well I am now exactly 74 days out and down 72 lbs.  CRAZY.  That is almost a pound a day!!  Of course...30 of those I lost in the first two weeks.  I've hit some stalls and thought that I wouldn't lose another pound, but then it would break and 5 to 10 lbs would come off almost overnight.  I am down to 302 from 374 lbs.  It's been such a blessing.  I haven't had any complications to date with my health or food ingestation.  I haven't thrown up once!!  I am only NOW starting to feel a slight hunger occasionally.  It's usually only when I normally have my meals and I'm running a little behind on them.  I eat 3 times a day (per my doc) and NO snacking.  The only time it's hard is when I'm at a party or something and I have already eaten my 3 meals. It's not like I'm really hungry...it's just my mind saying...just have one nacho chip lol.  I haven't though.  No food can even come CLOSE to tasting better than being thin will FEEL.    

If you've looked at my background, it says, I'm reclaiming my confidence this year! and that is how I really feel.  My life has changed and I couldn't be happier with my decision.  

It's been wonderful to get compliments from people on how much I've lost and how great I look.  I turn red and don't really know what to say so I kinda mutter thanks and look away or make a joke...but deep down it feels so good.  

I can't tell you how grateful I am to my friends (they know who they are) and my boyfriend for being as supportive and wonderful as they have been.  

I'm not going to tell you I don't have my down days, where I still feel FAT (let's face it, I still am and have a long way to go, yet) and days where I don't struggle with my mind about eating something.  That would be lying and I'm not very good at that :)  

You just deal with it.  So far I'm winning the battle.  Some days I might not (hasn't happened yet, but I am trying to be realistic here).  You just gotta keep chugging and looking towards the end goal...which for me is health, happiness, and a skinny bod.  

I'll try and be better about udating!  promise!

 

Well my surgery is tomorrow!  I'm so excited!! I'm a little nervous but more excited than anything!  Oh and I'm starving too!  am on the 24 hr clear liquid thing...which sucks, btw! LOL

I wish today would just speed up already!
