I can't believe it's been a year!

Sep 17, 2009

Sorry I don't get on here very much anymore, I hardly even Facebook!
So, it's been a year and 2 days since my surgery and I'm glad to say all is well! I'm still working at my oil tools store. I started in the office, but moved out to the store to be amongst the people. I sell parts for the oil field and pipelines in our area. i used to go on more deliveries than I do now since we're pretty short-handed there. I love my job, I've learned SO much, plus I get to give people crap. Being a smart-ass is kinda my forte.

I thought I would mention that I'm living a normal life, eating what I want to (for the most part) and still being able to have a "drink". When I signed up for this, I wasn't sure what kind of lifestyle I would have after all, but I still enjoy everyhting I used to, just at a much smaller scale.  

So here's my new stats, I totally lost my measurements I took when I started, but these numbers are good enough for me: 
This morning I weighed 164 - starting weight was 288 total weight loss  -  124 pounds
(I set a goal of 113 pounds loss with the Doc)
I now have a BMI of 23.5 rather than 41.3, which I started with.  

Well, I better pack it in for the night, Just wanted to update things since I hit this important milestone. I'm doing way better than I ever imagined and I hope the best of everyone out there going through this whole thing. It's quite the ride, so put your hands in the air and enjoy it!!!

7 months out & prom queen

Apr 20, 2009

So, I now weigh 193 pounds, which puts me at 95 lost total. Can I get a what what?! guys, I am having so much fun! I can shop at Vanity, which has crazy sizes. I wear a size 30 there!
Saturday night one of the bars in town held an adult prom the same night as the junior/senior prom. Darren and I ordered wigs, I found my dress I wore to my junior prom and Darren orderd a tux shirt and a pair of Zubahs zebra pants. We went out and had a good time. The bar was hopping with people dressed up like Carrie, nerds, 80's, and just plain dressed up. We were about to leave when the bar owner grabbed me and lead me to the arch where they crowned me queen. It was such a fun night and so cool getting compliments on my weight loss.
Well, I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am. I'm so thankful everything has turned out for me so far. I can only hope for continued success. Take care everyone!

198.5

Mar 17, 2009

That's what my scale read this morning!!!! 2 days after my 6 months, I hit the freakin' hundreds!! I sure hope it's here to stay. So that puts me at 89.5 pounds lost since September. I'm so shocked and just so proud of making it this far. I haven't a one regret for my choice of gastric bypass. I hope everyone out there is as happy as I am. Love you all,

5 months out and loving it!

Feb 22, 2009

Beginning weight: 288
Current: 207.5
Total lost: 80.5

Hey everyone, I'm sorry I'm a little late with this. We're finally home from our trips to Cancun and Daytona. We spent a week at each place and had a BLAST!!! I uploaded pix from both trips. I can really tell the difference in my weight from last years' pictures!
Things have been going really good and I'm still loving work. I'm in sales now, and it's so my element to be out among the people and socializing. I've even been making deliveries to some oil rigs, which I enjoy except for when I get lost or the roads are shitty with blown-in snow and icy.  Well, that's about it until next month's post, Take care everyone! I wish everyone the best of luck with everything :)

3 months out

Dec 15, 2008

HELLO!!!

Today is my 3 months since surgery. I'm proud to say that I'm down 58.5 pounds! I weighed in at 229.5 this morning. 199 keeps getting closer and closer. I haven't weighed this little in 7 years. I had gotten down to around 210 before our wedding in 2002 (which didn't last long, damn wedding cake!).

Anyhoo, there's a couple NSV's that are pretty cool: 
I can wrap a normal towel around me 
I'm showing bones I didn't know I had

Life is good! Until next time, 
~Nichole
