I DID IT!!!!!!!

May 28, 2008

Hi everyone!
I know it's been a long time since I updated you on my status!

But here you go....I have achieved my goal of 100 lbs lost by my RNY anniversary date!!! Actually 2-month's early :)

I have offically lost 100 lbs!!!!!!!!!! What started out as a way to become healthy has turned into the biggest change in my life! I'm more confident in myself, I feel great! I'm not tired all the time or depressed. I am the happiest I have been in a really long time! Life is GREAT :)

My current weight is 137 lbs. My new goal is to get to 125 lbs and to stop losing at that point. That is only 12 more lbs. Once I never thought I would ever achieve this goal and to now say I would like to weigh 125 lbs and that is only 12 more lbs.... is just amazing! 

I am truly blessed!

Hello everyone!!!

Just wanted to update you on where I am as of today! I am down to 152 lbs, which brings me to a total loss of 85 lbs!!!!

I haven't really lost much more weight...but I am still feeling great :) I am sure that I have hit a plateau...not really losing like I was...but, that is okay with me... I am very happy where I am and where I have come from!!! My starting weight at the beginning of this process was 237 lbs...Wow, I can't believe I have come this far in 6-month's...it is truly amazing!!!!

Life is GOOD!!!

Just an update on me......I am wearing size 10 in jeans and dress pants!!!!!! I have been holding at 162 lbs for the last month and half so not really lost much more weight...but have lost inches!!!! I am at a total of 75 lbs lost and I feel the best I have felt in 10 years!!!! It is truly amazing...I have my life back and more importantly I have my old self back!

My family is the happiest we have been in a long time....it is true what they say.."when mama ain't happy, noboby's happy" so with that said, my attitude towards myself has made my relationship with my kids so much better and it has truly changed my relationship with my husband...we are sooo much happier! My husband has lost 50 lbs himself and looks and feels great!!! I am soo proud of him :) I have my life back!!!

This Christmas is bitter sweet for me...on one hand I am the happiest with myself that I have been in a very long time...but, at the same time I am soo sad. I lost my father this year and this will be the first Christmas without him and my heart aches for him....I miss him soo much and wish he were here everyday. I love my Daddy with my whole heart and though this will be really hard this year....I have my sister and brother to lean on...just to remember those great times with my Daddy, especially our Christmas memories with him.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a SAFE and Happy New Year...may god bless you and yours throughout the year!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The journey continues......I have now lost 68 lbs down to 169!!!! WOOOOHOOO!!! I have almost reached the 70 lb mark....Yea!!!

The greatest news is 16 jeans no longer fit....they are completely falling off me....I am not sure that 14 jeans will fit either...they may be to loose...I am going out this weekend to get jeans and dress pants for work and hope that I come back and write that I am in a 12---That would be AWESOME!!!!

This journey has been amazing so far and I am looking forward to looking at the end result very soon....from what I understand we lose up until 18 months after surgery....so we shall see what happens. I am 4-month's post op and I still can't believe that I have lost this much weight in 4-month's...it's just great!!!

I know it has been a while since my last post....but, I have the same excuse we all have.....I have been so busy with my kids !!! My daughter is a competetion dancer and dances 4 nights a week, she is also a cheerleader this year.....my son plays baseball and has two games a week!!! I only get Friday and Sunday off....so to say the least I am tired at night and don't even think about posting!

So anyway....back to me! I have lost 54 LBS....WOOHOO!!!! My starting weight was 237 and now I weigh 183!!! I am pretty sure I can get into a 14 but I haven't tried.....I know my 16's are very loose!!!! I can wear a large shirt and extra large (depends on how it's made)!!! I can by clothes where my daughter gets are cool clothes from!! So, now I am "cool" according to my daughter !!!

My goal is 125 LBS....I have about 60 LBS to go! That is my ideal weight for my height.....I just hope I can make it....I am trying really hard to follow my diet and to do what I am told to do! I want this more than anything!!!!

I have a walking buddy on Tuesday and Thursday nights....We walk 3-miles on Tuesday and 3-miles on Thursday....so I am getting in 6-miles a week!!! It feels great to actually be able to excercise!!!

I have not joined the gym yet...but I need to...I can feel the lose skin in my arms and it's gross.....so I really need to get in there and start my workout plan!

I could not be happier with my life right now....I have everything that I have ever wanted....2 beautiful children, a fantastic husband, a beautiful home and now happiness within myself. I have this wonderful "satisfied" feeling now....I like the person looking back at me in the mirror, it's been a long time coming...FINALLY!!!!!
