Has it really been 9 months since I updated my profile?!

I need a good ol' fashion whoopin'.  I know how much I relied on this site when I was a newbie.  You never know who you might be able to help.  I'm sorry family. 

I'm doing well.  Keeping the weight off!  Wooooh Hooh!  I need to get back in the gym.  School has been kicking my bootay, but that's no excuse.  I'm going to post some new pics as well.  I have gone natural with the hair.  Y'all will have to tell me what you think!

Blessings-
Niko

I just wanted to say hello and Happy New Year to everyone.  I have not updated lately, but trust me I'm still here and in this battle. 

For any of you out there that wonder if your tool still works a few years out... YES IT DOES!  I will be 2 yrs post-op next month and my tool is still alive and well.  I'm am at my lowest post surgery weight.  I have actually lost 8 pounds in the last few months.  I'm still pushing.

When I see my surgeon next month I'm going to talk to her about my TT.  I think I'm ready. 

I'm gonna add some new pics soon.  Stay tuned!

Well,well, well.  Where does the time go?  I can't believe that it has been 3months since my last update.  Life has been good to me.  I'm still slowly losing.  I'll take it.  I'm in my twelves.  Woooh Hooh.  I don't have the frame to ever be skinny minny.  I'll be perfectly happy when I get to my perfect 10.    I have added some  new oics from my cruise, so take a look.  Here are few 15 month pics below.  Enjoy!

OK, If you know anything about me and my journey, you know that it has been slow and steady.  I recently came to terms with that.  They say slow and steady wins the race.  
Anywho, just here recently at 11 months out the weight has really begun to slide off.  I think I lost about 8-9 pounds in the last month.  That's really good for me, and I'm ecstatic.  I have really tried to get back to the basics.  Getting all my water in is hard, but I am trying.  I'm also trying to up my protein.  I just recently started having alot of issues with my hair shedding.  
I have really tried to eliminate sugar from diet again.  I'm not a dumper, so for a while there I was having a funky good time.  My pouch has really been holding me accountable these days.  I can hardly eat at times.  I love this tool.  Did I say that already?
This journey is really and truly about what you make of it.  I'm trying to incoporate my exercise back into my daily routine.  It's hard, but I know it's necessary.  School starts back next week, so I'm going to my schedule together and kick it into overdrive.

***I just finished proofreading this entry and I noticed that I used the word TRYING a zillion times.  I like that!  That's what it's all about....TRYING!

I can not believe that it has been well over two months since I las updated.  My life has been turned upside down in the last few months.  That is putting it lightly.
I come to OH almost daily.  I'm a regular lurker on BAF.  I jump in every now and then.  I love my family on that board.  It's amazing the support you can find there.
Anywho, my weight is steadily moving in the right direction.  I have lost about 6lbs this month.  That is pretty good for me considering I'm a slooooow loser.  I'm sure some of that has to do with all the stress in my life, but I'll take it.  
It's so funny, the whole WLS thing.  I went and bought a new pair of jeans to wear for Christmas.  I bought a 14 at Old Navy, and they are too big.  Go Figure...I'm not complaining at all!  It just amazes me how things change from day to day.  I can't wait to go try on a 12.  Who would have thunk it?  I can't remember the last time I was in a 12.  I'm shooting for a comfortable 10.  I'm confident I'll get there!

I haven't updated in a while, but I'm still here.  Things are slow but steady.  I have finally come to accept that.  I'm in a 14 very comfortably.  I probably could do a 12, but my midsection won't let me.  That's where I have alot of my skin.  That's always where I have carried my weight.

I'm happy.  I know that I could be doing better.  I haven't been making the wisest choices lately.  I'm not a dumper, so sometimes I abuse the system.  I have set some new goals for myself, and I'm really trying to get back to the basics.  

I have been going through some things in my personal life.  I have to really watch myself.  I don't want to fall back into some of my old habits.

Just a quick hello to let you all know that I'm still on this WLS journey...

I said I wouldn't be back until I hit ONEderland.  Who knew it was right around the corner?  Thank you Lord!  I got on the scale and look below to see what it said.  I know I'm barely in ONEderland.  Who cares?  I'M THERE, and I'm never ever going back!
