I haven't written in a while, but just to let everybody get updated. I am about to hit my 1 year mark, YEAH!!!! I am down to 141 pounds. that means 107 pounds lost. I am happier than I ever have been. I am pretty much at my goal weight. I don't want to lose anymore, but I just want to tone. As I come to the New Year, it is funny because for the first time I have actually reached my new resloution for this year. A year ago I said that I wanted to be 100 pounds less, and I did it!!! This year my New Year resolution is I want to tone up my body. I don't want any jiggle anywhere. So I going to work this year very hard at that. I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!! And a great New Year!!!

I finally did it. I reached a 146 pounds. That means 102 pounds gone. I am so happy. I feel like I have my life back. Before WLS, I had not only lost who I was, but my marriage was crumbling, I wasn't being the mother I was supposed to be. My life, as I felt was over. I felt at 25 I was dying. Now 8 months later and a 102 pounds gone I feel so wonderful. The best I have in years. My marriage has never been better, it as if we were newlyweds again. We are even going to renew our wedding vows when he get's back from deployment. My relationship with me kids is awesome. I actually have the energy and strength to keep up with them. And I feel as if I have found me again. I am going to attend nursing school in the new year. Everything is so wonderful. I am so happy. I can WLS not only saved just my life, but all aspect of it. Thank you Dr. Chung, my angel. Thanks to everyone for your support.

I am posting a little after my 5th month mark. Henry and I have recently moved so I haven't been able to get onto the computer as much as I would like. Well here it is my 5th month weigh in are you ready........ 158!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah. I am only 18pounds away from my goal weight. I would love to be 140!!! I am currently wearing a size 11 pants, and size M top. I am so excited. Let you know what I weigh in for my 6 month!!!

Well for my 4th month weigh-in, I am at 174. It is only 8 pounds down from last month, but it is still good. I really slacked of this month. So I have to step it up a notch this month. I have been running 2 miles every day, but I am going to step it up and see if I can go further, plus I am going to start incorporating weight training. I notice I am a lot smaller, but not a tone as I would like to be. So tonight I am going to plan a really good workout schedule. I hope to reach 165 for next month weigh-in. So wish me luck!! See ya next month.

Monday is my official weight in day. And that is two days away, but as of right now, I am weighing in at 183. I am so excited. My pant size right now is a 12/14. My shirt size is M/L. I am so happy. I can't believe I am only at my 3 month mark and I am past my half way mark. I have lost a total of 65 pounds, and only have 38 more pounds to go. I am hoping by my birthday, which is in August, that I am down to my goal weight. Which is 145. I don't think I have ever been this happy in my life. Thank god for WLS.

Hi everybody!!!

My computer has  been offline for about a month and half, well today I am finally back online. Well, to give every an update. I have now just passed my 2 month mark, and I now weigh in at 192 pounds. Yeah!!!! I was so glad to break to 200 mark. I now have only a little over 50 pounds to go!!!! I still have my measurments to post.  I will post them soon. I hope everyone is doing well. I will post more soon. Bye

Well today started out well. I made some egg beaters for breakfast. It went down well. I wasn't able to finsih it all, but I had no problems with it going down. At lunch I made some seafood salad (minced shrimp and crab meat). I was going to put it on some crackers but I didn't have any so I thought I could put it on some toast. So I toasted 1 slice of toast and enjoyed. It went down with out a problem but within a hour, I got and still am so sick. I feel like I want to throw up, but it just won't come out. I don't think it was the seafood salad, I am pretty sure it was the toast. I am staying away from any kind of bread products from now on (well at least for a couple of weeks). I am so not happy right now. Tomorrow I am going back on liquids, just to give my stomach a break. I will post more tomorrow, gotta go lay down and hope this passes soon.

Today I feel. great. I weighed my self and I am down to.........218! Yeah! I am getting so close to the 200 mark. That is a total of 17 pounds since the surgery! I think I am really going to start walking. I really don't want to have to much loose skin. So I want to start trying to firm myself a little bit. I know I can't do a lot of stuff until the six week mark, so I will walk but thats it for now. Then after the sixth week, I will ask the doctor what I can start doing. Yeah!!!!!!!!!! Today is a good day!
