A Long Journey
Aug 21, 2010
It's been a long time since I've been on here! I have to sometimes remember where I came from. When I started this I was 334LBS. I am now down to 221. 113lbs lost! I'm so excited. I'm doing things that I have not done in years. I am able to squat down to pick up something, I no longer ask my son to run upstairs to get something for me. I run on my treadmill, I went from wearing a 26/28 to 14. Depending on where I shop, I can wear some 12's. It's a great feeling and I hope that anyone waiting on surgery reads this and gets motivated.
It's a long journey!

Just saw my surgeon today and I am a total of 91lbs lost! This is an amazing thing! I haven't this much energy in so long that I can't keep still! My business is starting to increase and I have a whole new meaning on life! The Lord up above has given me another chance on life! I feel great!

Choosing WLS surgery was the best choice I made for ME! I encourage anyone who is considering it and feels that this the best choice for you, then do so!
I wake up each morning with so much energy. I even joined the Biggest Loser @work. May 16th I will be 6 months out.By Nov 16th 2010, I will be close to my goal of being under 200. I have haven't seen 200lbs since before the birth of my son 16 years ago. It's an everyday struggle, I still get those cravings, but I have to be strong and continue to follow my diet and exercise.
I love the new ME!

I have not been able to get a good workout in since I went back to work!
Between starting my family, starting a party business and a full time job, where's the time!? I'm still losing, however I really need to tone. Party planning comes easy to me so I should know how to prioritze things, but it's not working. It's just not enough hours in the day!

My clothes
Feb 26, 2010
My Husband told me a few days ago that he was tired of seeing me in scrubs and sweatpants! 
I really want to buy new clothes, but does it really make sense??? I've tried the tights and oversized sweaters, but I don't care for that look on me. I'm a jeans and cute tops kind of girl. Right now I have 1 good pair of jeans and they are actually too big. Whats a girl to do???

Hey Yall!,
Since I went back to work, I've been extremely busy! I've acutally started my party/wedding planning business and it's been crazy. Since my surgery I have this new found energy and confidence. I am officially 67lbs after surgery and it feels great! This was the best decision I chose for ME!

Back to work!
Jan 18, 2010
So Sunday was my first official day back to work. It wasn't as bad as I thought, however last night I was so beat that I didn't work out and I feel really bad that I didn't. So my plan is to work it out tonight like I don't have to work tomorrow! LOL I swear this surgery was one of the best choices I made in my life. I get up in the morning feeling energized, feeling like a different person. I don't remember feeling this good in a long time! So for all of you thinking about the surgery, be like Nike and "JUST DO IT!"

42lbs in 5 weeks!
Dec 22, 2009
Ok! I was little disappointed 
that I only lost 10lbs since I last saw my surgeon, however she pointed out what my pre-surg weight was and now, and not to mention when my friend visits(you know the monthly one) she tends to blow me up like a hot air balloon, I started to feel a whole lot better
. I'm still having trouble with those protein shakes so I've just eliminated them all together. I've been trying different foods and been able to tolerate some. I've got the OK to work out and got by B-12 shot and now I'm running around here like I'm crazy!
My goal is to lose another 20lbs by Jan 16th. Wish me luck!

WOW, I haven't been on OH in a while! Tomorrow will be my 1 month anniversary to losers bench and I don't mind being benched! 
I go to see my surgeon tomorrow to get a real weight. That dumb weight watchers scale I have in my bathroom is retarded, so I haven't been weighing myself, oh but my clothes have! and I'm now starting to experience the falling down of my underwear! 
All my jeans are too big and my fiance keeps complaining that he's tired of me walking around in my work scrubs! Right know they are the only clothes that fit (drawstrings works) So i decided to buy tights and long tops(since that's a fad now-I rememeber wearing that in the late 80's early 90's) until my weight loss slows up!
My give a way bag is pretty full!
I looked in the mirror this morning and started to notice the cottage cheese on my legs, so its officially time for the work out.
