I am down to 160 today. Things are going pretty good, my hubby has a few good leads, hopefully by next week he will have found a good job.
WE had a good 4th of July, went to my moms & took the kiddies swimming in between the rain. Then we came home & did a camp fire & made smores & did fireworks at home with some friends....so today turned out to be fun for all.

Hello, I am down to 162 now..OMG 3 more pounds till I have lost 100.....OMG.
My kitchen is so pretty, after a few problems, it's mostly done, cosmetic things left that
hubby & I can do like chair rail & pantry.
Clothes were getting stresfull, last week I literally had a pair of shorts & 2 t shirts that fit..I was stressed out big time seeing I can't go out & buy clothes right now seeing we have no $ comming in & 3 kids to feed.
But I prayed about it & my friend called me on Saturday & asked if I wanted to go thru her clothes she was giving to goodwill, all size 14 's & 12, which some fit, but now I have some for the coming months to grow into. So that was a great gift she gave me & I truly don't think she knew how bad I needed them..words just couldn't express how thankful I was to her.
So that just made my whole week :0)

Hello, Well for some reason my last post on my blog is gone, so I need to type a new one. Life is crazy, hubby has just started to look for a job 2 weeks ago. My kitchen is being demo'ed as I type, I can't wait to see it remodeled & finished, it will be sad to sell after it's finallly gonne be nice.
I stayed 166 for the past 2 weeks, today I weighed in at 164. My foot was doing great untill I pushed it too much this week getting my kitchen ready, so I'm down again, foot is really sore again.
Other than that things are ok.

Hello, Things are getting better... My father in law got out of the hospital on Thursday, I went to the hospital & got my foot surgery the same day he got out. I'm in a wheel chair for the next 2 weeks...but at least it's done. I weighed in at 168 yesterday. that make's me at a 91 pound loss so far, at a little over 6 months out. I am shocked every time I see the scale.. I get back on a couple times...just to make sure it's "real". I still see a fat girl in the mirror & wonder if that will ever change. Anyhoo .... Thanks for reading :0)

It's been a crazy couple weeks, hubby & I have been busy painting, laying new floors & getting our house fixed up, to hopefully SELL soon..I'm hoping hubby gets a job, so we can move away. I would LOVE to leave Florida, so I'm praying for something to come up.
I am down to 176. Feeling pretty good, I understand now what I was reading the year before surgery...about your self image... I still see a fat girl when I look into the mirror, I thought that was crazy, but I totally understand now... I saw a friend today that I hadn't seen in a year & she didn't even reconize me at first, which was awesome, but I still see FAT.
I have 6 more pounds to loose till I'm officially "overweight"
So things are still crazy around here, hubby will hopefully start looking for work in June after we get the house fixed up.

Hello, It was a fun weekend, we spent 2 nights in Ormond Beach. The weather was great, spent the whole 2 days by the pool and beach. I posted a picture of my husband & I taken while we were there.
I am down to 179 today..WOO HOO I'm outta the 180's.
I got my hair cut short last week, it seems so much better with my hair loss, don't think I will keep it short, but it helps for the time being.
Thanks for reading!!

Hello,
I didn't do very well over Easter, had a few treats I shouldn't have eaten. So trying to get back on track. It's so hard to get back on track after you've tasted the "forbidden foods" ....mine was Milk Chocolate Dove mini eggs this Easter.
I had surgery Thursday, gained 3 pounds from IV's..I guess. I have already lost 2 of those 3, so hopefully I can get back on track this week. I weigh 183 today.
I'm going to get my hair cut short tomorrow, I'm dealing with hair loss now & it's scary.. I hate to wear black anymore because my blonde hair is all over my clothes now. I have to empty my drain trap twice after a shower just to get it to go down. So thats freaking me out.
Hubby is still outta work, he will start looking next week, after our weekend getaway. It's been nice having him around here, were having fun. Thats about it, Thanks for reading!!

Hello, I'm down to 182. Surprised the heck outta me seeing how crazy this past week has been.
Thursday, after 8 years of working here my husband was laid off. His insurance will cut off April 6th, I had 2 surgery's planed for this month, 1 got cancelled the other one (vaginal syst removed) was pushed up to TODAY. So I'm nervous about that.
My van is DEAD, looks to be an alternator, so Thank god my hubby's been around to drive me places ( he won't let me drive his new truck yet..LOL)
So all in all doing pretty well.

I'm down to 186. OMG I'm still in shock over that!!!
Feeling really good 4 month has gone by quick.
My oldest is turing into a TEENAGER this Friday. I still can't believe I gave birth to her almost 13 years ago. Time sure does fly. Please pray for me & these trying times ahead. I can't imagine her getting anymore emotional as she already is.
I have such a busy schedule the next few months, I'm not sure when to get my foot surgery. But I need to get it soon. I went to do my favorite past time today "Thrift store Shopping" after the 3rd store my foot was hurting....but I had to keep going..my son needs to dress like Gerge Washington, so I needed to find some cheap old looking things for that.
So that's about it, Thanks for reading!!
