One Year Post-op

Jul 17, 2008

God has really blessed me. I give all honor and glory to Him. Today marks the one year milestone of my journey towards a better me. I am so grateful for the past year. I've learned a lot, laughed a lot and even cried at times, but I made it through. I know that would not have been possible without the Lord on my side. I woke up this morning at my all time lowest weight of 217 lbs. To date, that is a total loss of 142 lbs. My outlook is positive. I'm still working out at the gym. I'm not near my goal just yet, but I am really happy about how far I have come!

I'm still shrinking!

Feb 17, 2008

I had a pretty long plateau for a moment. I am 7 months post- out right now. As of today though, I am weighing in at 240 lbs.  That's a loss of 119 lbs. According to OH BMI calculator, I am no longer super obese or extremely obese! My new BMI of 38.7 puts me in the obese category. I am able to wear clothes from college and even some from high school. I did not reach my goal of being 240 by Feb 1st, but I am sooooo grateful for everything the Lord has done for me. Inches are dropping faster than the weight at this point. I can now wear some size 18 tops and size 22 bottoms. Until next time, take care of yourself and be blessed!

100 lbs Mark!

Dec 15, 2007

I am so very happy to be able to say that I have lost 100 lbs! Oh my God! I never could have done that without the Lord on my side. I praise Him every chance I get! My new weight is 258. My new goal is to get down to 240 lbs by Feb. 1. I'm going to name it, claim it, believe it, and receive it!


4 Month Surgiversary

Nov 17, 2007

Yesterday was my 4 month surgiversary. I hoped to be down 100 pounds by 4 months, but I didn't quite make it. I now weigh 268 lbs. That gives me 9 more pounds to lose before I hit the 100 lbs mark. I am so grateful for my surgeon and his skill. God is using him to change lives forever.

Met my goal, but missing my husband

Oct 30, 2007

Today I met my goal that I set for myself at 275. I woke up this morning and weighing 274! My next goal is to get to my sister's weight of 260. I give God all of the glory and the honor! Please pray for my husband Will. He is in the hospital this week, and I'm not sure when he will get out at this point. This is just another test of my faith, but I will continue to claim the victory in Jesus' name!

7 Pounds away

Oct 20, 2007

Today I am weighing in at 282 lbs. I am only 7 lbs away from 275, which was my weight in Undergraduate school 6 years ago!!!!  I got the labs back from the doc. They said my B12 level was too high, so I cut back on that. Other than that, everything looks great they said. I was so happy to hear those words. Until next time, stay blessed!
