Struggle but getting back on track
May 23, 2011
I have not been on here in a long time and I think it is one of the reasons I have slipped. Before this past winter I was on track still down all the weight I had lost and feeling good. I was 140 pounds and down to the size I wanted to be. THEN, winter came and when winter came and I wasn't outside with my kids, camping and walking anymore and that's when I got lazy. I got lazy with this site and my walking and my eating as well.
So its spring 2011 now and where am I? 154 pounds, 15 pounds heavier and not to happy about it. Do I know how to change it? YES. Do I want to get back on track? YES. Do I know what I need to do? YES. When am I starting? NOW. I'm starting now by adding this post and admitting I screwed up by not following what I knew I had to in order to keep my weight off. I mean really, I didn't have surgery so I could gain back the weight.
This past weekend my husband and I both made a choice to start a new diet. A diet he and I can do together and that's one thing that makes me happy. Knowing that we are doing it this time together. He is 272 pounds as of this morning. I am 154 as of this morning. We will see how things go but I am hoping for the best.

I DID IT
May 14, 2010
Its been a long time since I have posted. BUT I just had to post today. I DID IT! I lost 100 pound. I cant believe I did it. Im very excited about all the great things I can do now. I can chace my kids, Shop at normal stores for clothes and not pay a arm and a leg for them. I have so much energy that Im always on the go and I fit into a size 8 pants. Things are so good for me I cant even express it. So there it is. I feel like I have accomplished a huge thing and I feel great!

Well, I have been stuck at 50 pounds lost for about 3 weeks now so I am now a member of a health club and I love it. I have been working out for 4 days now and I am really enjoying it. I even went and bought a new Ipod touch to keep me company. I havent weighed myself yet but I am thinking I will do that on Sunday and see if this is working, I even talked the hubby into joining and going 3 days a week at least. The good news is they have a daycare so I can put my 2 youngest in there while I work out and calm down. I think I might start going to some of the workout classes they offer also..
Well its late and its bed time so Im out and feeling great.

under 200
Nov 15, 2009
Well im a month and a half out from surgery and i feel great. I am now under 200 pounds with a total of 34 pounds lost!!! I would say i never felt better actually. Im doing great with the change of life for me. My husband has even lost 17 pounds now because I make small portions for him at the table. We dont buy junk anymore and the kids even eat apples daily. im hoping someday to be able to have a drink with my friends when we go out but not sure when thats even safe yet so I will go slow until I think its time. My friends notice all the time how I have changed and my pants definatly show. In total I went from a 22 to 16 so far and its odd shopping for clothes now in the non pluss size areas of the stores. I started selling AVON and I love it. I get out and walk to deliver new catalogs door to door. I dont have the kids do it for me. i pick an area and stop the car. Get a lage tote full of catalogs and walk. Its been great. I can walk so much farther then before. I think Avon will be a good addition to the new me!

2 weeks out.
Oct 14, 2009
I'm 2 weeks out and still feeling great. I have lost -15 total pounds, not sure if that is about right or not, but i feel good. I get to start foods today, but ground up really well. Nothing spicy but i can at least eat. I have a list and I'm going shopping tomorrow..
We got a new dog yesterday, a Border Collie who is 9 months old we think. I plan to walk with him and jog later when I'm able. He is very smart and really ready to go when i am ready to go.
Well that's it for now. I'm doing great at 2 weeks out and feel good.

one week out.
Oct 09, 2009
So everything went very well with my first apt after surgery and I am very satisfied with the outcome. The Dr. said I am doing very good for a week after surgery. My only problem has been the pain in my left side that just doesn't go away. I mean it goes away till i move anyways. So he said no bending down for me.
I also saw the physical therapist who tells me what exercises i can and can not do and that was very nice to hear all the things I can do now and what to work for. (We are now in the market for a new dog for me to walk with daily)(hope to get to a jog.)
The nutritionist said I am on my full liquid diet until next Thursday and I am OK with that.
I'm down 11 pounds so far and counting.

Tomorrow is the big day!
Sep 29, 2009
Well tomorrow is the big day, Surgery! Its going to be the first day to the rest of my life. Today is the liquid diet. All clear liquids and no food to eat. Then im off to the hospital at 5am.
I have so many emotions running through me right now its hard to pick just any, Nervous, scared, excited and more. The one thing that is helping me is that I know that I am helping myself, making my life better for me and my kids. Hoping I will be around longer to enjoy them.

Well on the 1st of September I went to my last dietitian appointment and they submitted to my insurance. I'm crossing my fingers for a speedy replay. So far its been a week and they haven't heard anything yet. I went to the pre/post opp seminar already so all that's left is my physicals and xrays....
Here hoping for a new me soon enough.
