10/13/2005 My daughter and I bought these really cool beach crusier bikes and I have been riding a bike like when I was a kid. I think it is more fun than walking. I am checking out all the Halloween Decoration in the neighborhood.

I am down to 212 today and forgot to put a picture in for 10/25. Oh well. Everything is going good, it seems the weight is coming off slower these days. I need to start really exercising.

Today I am 3 months post op. I made my goal and am right on target. I have been working out at curves and am trying to be dedicated working out 6 days per week. I am drinking my protein and OJ shake everyday and the doctor put me on additional B1. My daughter said she is no long embarrast about my weight. I still need to work on water intake. I also think I need to eat more food...

I have been really hungery after the holidays so I have been doing protein and less carbs. I am trying to get back on track since the holidays so the weight will keep coming off. I have been losing again. I did not have a big loss month in Decemaber and hope January is a bit better. When I see pictures of myself I still am shocked how big I am. Most of the people hear say they still see themselves big. I never have until I see my reflection or a picture. I have always thought I was smaller. Can't wait till I look like I feel...
1/10/2006 went to my doctor today and he said he is happy with the stats and progress. He wants me to work my muscles harder. I go to curves 6 days per week and now will need to do some other exercise that builds a little muscle.

Well it has been a while since I posted a picture of myself. I weight 165 lbs and it is May 15. I am losing slower. I am 2 lbs away from losing 100 lbs. I am wearing a size 7 junior pants and large tops. I always have had to waer large tops because I am large on top.

OK today is May 31, 2006 I did not lose a pound for over 6 weeks. I was traing for my first 5K race and completed it on Memorial Day. Today I stepped on the scale and am down 5 lbs. I have lost 103 lbs in 9 months and it feels wonderful. I work out 3 or more times per week running 3 miles, weight lifting, bike riding, or swimming or all of the above. I am so grateful for my lifestyle change.
I wear a size 7-8 pants and large or medium size tops.

Today is July 10, 2006 and I am down to 158 lbs. 13 lbs to go to goal. My new goal is 145 because I think 135 would be to skinny for me. I am tall and look pretty good at the weight I am at now except for the extra skin. I am starting to do spin classes and they kick my ass. I can't wait until I can do them and keep up with all those fit people in the class. Wow it is hard. It is taking some of this weight off. I can tell I will be losing again even though I sometimes snack. I am drinking protein again because my blood work said I was low on protein this has also helped me drop weight. Hopefully my nails and hair get better from it. I am drinking 48 grams per day and then the rest comes from food. I am in love for the first time in soooo long. I did not ever think I would get married but I guess it just seems right. It sure took me buy surprise. He is such an awesome guy and I am so happy with our relationship. My Dad must have had a talk with God and somehow those two must have arranged it. Life is wonderful and I feel great.
