Still the same weight
Nov 05, 2007
I'm still the same since the last post. I am eating terribly though. I know this. I have to get it under control. I have to get this weight OFF!
I feel as though I am losing inches. At the beginning of the school year I bought a shirt with my elementary school on it. I bought it small and it would not button up so I had to wear an under shirt with it. I knew I would be getting into it soon. Well I had not put it on for a couple of weeks (it would not button still then) and today it buttoned and looked good! So that was encouraging.
I know I will get off this plateu thing or whatever it is. It is just frustrating. I am going to start doing tae boe and I'm waiting for it to come in the mail. I walked some today and that made me feel better.

6 month news!!
Oct 21, 2007
Well I finally had my 6 months check up with the dr. I weighed in at 226 lbs for a total loss of 85 lbs! The dr. said I was right on track but I do not feel like it. I feel disappointed in my exercising and my eating habits. I have done better in the past week with eating and just can't get motivated to exercising. Maybe the wedding will be motivation!!! I need to get into a nice sized wedding dress!!!!! Adam proposed last week and I am so excited. Our date is set for July 12 so I have 9 months to get the rest of this weight off!!!

Beyond Frustrated
Sep 20, 2007
I am BEYOND frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am hardly losing ANYTHING!!! I am so upset and I can eat almost anything and I feel like I am just slipping back into old habits. GRRRRRRR!!!!! I want to cry.
My current weight is 231. I have lost less than 8 lbs in one month. That is AWFUL. I feel like I did this all for NOTHING. I hate myself for it. Here is my inches:
Neck: 13.5" ~~~ -2 goal: 12

3 and a half months
Jul 07, 2007
Hi all!!!!!!!!!!
I have been going to work and class and sleeping for the past two weeks and that is IT!!! I have not weighed in a few days but my last weigh in I was 247.6 lbs for a total loss of 63.4 lbs!!!! It is coming off slowly but surely and I am starting to tell a big difference when I look in the mirror. The other day when I went to my niece's house I walked in the door and her daughter said "wow you are small!" that felt good! Adam is coming in three weeks and I can't wait!! I have been sending him pictures all along but he hasn't seen me since before surgery. I'm so excited!!!! I love him and miss him. I am really missing Malachi and cry every day because I just wish that he was here with me.
I am interviewing for teaching positions and hope to have one by the end of July!!! It will most likely be with the school that Malachi teaches at as a kindergarten or second grade teacher.
I am really frustrated with my weight loss because I feel like it should be faster and I'm still not exercising. AHHH!!! I just need to get on the stick cause my window of opportunity is slowly going away!
Well I hope all is well with everyone!! Happy losing.
Rita :)

Addicted to measuring!!
Jun 20, 2007
Okay so I'm addicted to measuring! The scales are not moving like I would like them to and I have to make something pick me up! Okay so below is a total loss of 59.5 inches. I feel really bloated today too. Maybe I will measure when this goes away. In fact I've felt bloated all week and it is not the time of the month to feel this way. Maybe I am eating to much sodium? I will watch that over the next few days and see if this feeling goes away. I usually do not watch my sodium intake closely because I don't put salt on everything and don't really like things salted too much. But maybe I am taking in more than I think. We shall see! :) Gotta run to work!

Just a few more days till my three month!
Jun 18, 2007
I know I just gave an update but I wanted to write about some things I struggle with. Maybe getting it down will help me struggle less. I am really having problems mentally not being able to eat what I used to eat. Food really was my friend and suddenly the loss is very draining and causing some major depression. It sounds so stupid. I'm feeling better physcially. I also am not exercising and I think its a way to sabotage myself and this journey and it angers me greatly.
I am going to miss my son this summer but, in a way I am looking at this as a chance to regain the life that I have seem to lose in the past few years. I want to get back on track and makes some positive changes. I need to stop looking at life so negatively. I am generally a positive person, but it seems that over the past year I have grown cynical and pessimistic. I don't want to be like that and it is time to change!
I got on the scale this morning and weighed 254.6. That is a total loss of 56.4 lbs!! Only 2.6 lbs to go to make it to my next 10% goal and 3.6 to make it to my three month goal. I got some more protein drink yesterday cause I had been out so we will see if that helps! I really want to be at a 60lbs loss by sat. the 23rd!
The 21st is my boyfriends birthday and our 1 year anniversary. I got him a shirt, some socks from where I work, and some golf tees. I miss him so much and really want him to come for a visit. We are both so strapped for cash that it is hard right now. He is supposed to be coming in the middle of July and I think that will help my mood a little ;)!! Plus I will have lost more weight by then and wow him!
I guess that is another thing I feel frustrated about: how I look. I feel flabby all over. I'm sure that is due to the rapid loss and the fact that I am not exercising but that is mentally challenging as well. I know all these things will improve and am looking forward to that but right now it is hard to deal!
sorry for the downer post but I had to get some things out on the table.

Just checkin in.
Jun 15, 2007
Hello everyone!! Time for a measure cause the scales are stuck!!! Not really since my last post but over the last week as I have been PMSing..grr! :) My weigh in today (12 weeks and one day post op) is 256.8 lbs for a total loss of 54.2 lbs! I am hoping to lose 60 lbs by my offical three month which is June 23..a week from today. That means I have 5.8 lbs to lose in the next week. EEK!!! We shall see! Ironically I have also lost 55 inches!! I have added my approximate goal inches to the bottom! I don't know if I will look funny like this but I measure people all day at work and i have an idea of how big I would like to be!
My son left for michigan yesteray and I am SOOOO sad. We had a BEAUTFIFUL day together on Thursday. I had the day off and we went to six flags over texas. We had the BEST time and I am sure created some very happy memories. I felt squished into some of the rides so I will be excited for next year when I don't feel like that! :)
Okay must get to work!
