still holding on

Dec 07, 2009

It’s been over a year since I last post.  I didn’t know it’s been that long. I’m still holding on, I hit some hard spots, bumping roads etc… through out this journey, but overall I have enjoyed it.  Failure makes great process. I keep going and going like the Energize Bunny.  I posted some recent pictures. I am so proud of my self. Although I have only lost 6lbs in the past year. I’m still motivated and thrill. I will meet my goal of 165. When I don’t know, but I will.  Everybody please don’t give up, if you give up, please get and try again.. It’s worth it.....take care, Michelle

Jul 28, 2008

HELLO ALL,
IT’S BEEN 3 MTS SINCE I LAST POST. ONE GOOD THING IS THAT I BEEN MAINTAING AND I HAVE NOT GAIN ANY WEIGHT. ANOTHER GOOD THING IS THAT IM 5lbs. LIGHTER SINCE I LAST POST.  IM AM NOW SITTING ON 190lbs.  I HAVE ONE DOWNFALL & THAT IS EXCERSING. I HAVE SLACKED UP. I WILL START AND STOP. I DO KNOW EXCERSING IS THE KEY. MY MID SECTION WILL GO DOWN EVEN MORE, THIGHS & ALL.MORE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF. SO MY AGENDA IS TO QUIT PLAYING AND BEGIN EXCERSING MORE THAN WHAT I AM DOING NOW. I HAVE A QUESTION? IS IT ME, WELL I KNOW IT’S NOT JUST ME, BUT IS IT ME DAT GET A GREAT HIGH ON TRYING ON CLOTHES FOR THE HELL OF IT. I MEAN GOING INTO THE STORE AND JUST TRY ON SOME S**T JUST TO SEE HOW GOOD U LOOK IN IT. 90% OF THE TIME I END OF BUYING A SHIRT OR A PAIR OF SHORTS BUT THE WHOLE INTENTIONS WAS TO JUST TRY ON A SIZE JUST BECAUSE!!! WELL I WANTED TO POST BECAUSE I HAVE NOT POST IN A WHILE ..I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL AND NOT GIVING UP. STAY FOCUS IT IS SO WORTH IT. UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!

Hello All,
Its been a while since I post. I know on my last post I said I'm going to post again when i reach 199lbs. But as of 04/04/2008 I am officially out of the 200's sitting on 195
That smiley emotion is exactly what i did, I celebrated with a drank or 2 or 3 or 4. Its a great feeling & a great accomplishment. However, the road has been a rocky road, not a awful road but sometimes rough, but through it all i am so happy and satisifed. i am looking to lose 20 more and i will be at 175. this is the hardest 20lbs to lose, but im not giving up. Everyone keep your head up & don't give up...Holla


I CAN NOT BEAT THESE 200'S

Dec 11, 2007

Hello everyone,
   Its been a while since I posted. Everything has been going very well. I really have been slacking though. Not overeating, but I been very hard headed. #1 I have not been to the gym since 11/2/2007 & 2nd I started back on my protected, but quickly slipped off. I'm currently at 201lbs, and I been between 201-205 for over a month. It seems like the
closer I get to 199 the faster i gain 2 or 3lbs. My one yr. anniversay will be 02/27/2007. I have to bee less than 200lbs, I need to be less than 200, I want to be less than 200lb. Overall I feel great, I look great, I look good in my clothes, my face slimming down, my thighs slimming down & oh YES my waist is going down. Its a wonderful feeling. It feel good to hear compliments like"shell you look good, great job, i'm proud of you" Even though the weight may come down slower than the bypass, My advantage is that i can see the progress monthly, i can see changes. As soon as i see 199lbs, I will write back with joy..HUGS AND KISSES


what is really going on

Sep 12, 2007

Hello all, its been about a month of two since i post. To give a update my current  weight is 210 at the most depending on the angle of the scale
It seems i can not beat this 200 mark. Its like my body is refusing to weigh less than 200lbs...WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON...O.k i have my messed  up  on some days, but damn i don't mess up to the point im eating nothing but cookies and cake all day. I am in control of what i eat, but soon as i eat them damn oreo cookies with milk the next day 1.5lb and sometimes 2lb will be added to this damn scale. Now U tell me how you can gain 2 lbs in one day and but eat healthy and excersie all week & don't see a change in the damn scale...im puzzled. I guess thats how it rolls. But im rolling with it. Because soon as I hit 199lb. im going to party like its 1999. DON't PLAY. This weight is not going to beat me, I'm going to beat this weight.  I got my 3rd fill on 09/05/2007, i have not got on the scale since, but as usually i feel a difference now, because the fill is new, but how long will the restrictions last. Am i the only one that notice when you get a fill, weight seems to melt off that 1st week. I damn near want to get a fill every week to see those lbs melt away, but i know thats not the way to go. Overall I love my band, it really has helps me maintain, it keeps me in order. But one thing for sure when i hit 199lbs & it will be before the end of the year. i'm going to shut the clubs down because im going to walk in that place like WHAT!! Everyone take care and keep going, ITS WORTH IT!!!!


IT BEEN A WHILE

Jul 12, 2007

Hello Eveyone,
    It been awhile since I post. Everything has been going straight.  I have lost 31 lbs so far. Its like i can not get past 215lbs. The scale is playing with me. It will show 215, 218,216. Im like damn can it just say 215 three  times in the a row. But nawwwwww. I wants to hop on the scale 3 different times at 3 differnt angles
 (i know im not the only one that do that) I can not wait until I see 200lbs or better yet 199lbs. I feel good. My bmi is going down. I love whats happening to me. My work pants are getting baggie, my shirts are looser. I have not went shopping for a new wardrobe, but i have bought clothes here and there. I always shopped at Old Navy & i was able to fit most of the jeans in size 20. and work pants or slacks size 20 or 18. YOU READY FOR DA MOMENT!!. Ya girl put on a size 16 slacks. I was like whoaaa!! I can fit these.  I tried on 18 jeans and they fit good. The 20 was 2 big. I could do nothing but laugh out of happines..KEEP IN MIND. The Old Navy store in Memphis do not sell PLUS(women size) so these sizes are regular.  People notice. Its just a wondeful feeling. My goal is 199 by 08/13/07 which is my son b-day. I don't think i will make it but damn it. its whateva because i feel like a millon bucks. like i said i know im fine but DAMN ya girl is looking good. I do have my days when i slip up, but overall i am going by the rules. Oh yea i had a 2nd fill 06/28/07.  Everyone stay good and keep it up da good work
Holla 


I really messed up

May 21, 2007

Well U guys, I don't think I ever posted this soon after a post, but I don't think I ever  f**k up like this before (excuse my language) I am so mad at my self MANNNN!! O.K I'm going to try to make it short..After all that talk I did on my previous post. I really did it to myself this weekend..I PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR THIS WEEKEND....LIKE TO HEAR IT ABOUT IT , HEAR IT GO...Friday my nephew graduated from Kindergarten. after the graduation we went out to eat at O'Charleys. I didn't do to bad I order the appetizer sampler. I also ate two cupcakes.  I did not eat all my food so I took the rest home..Guess what I ate for breakfast Saturday Morning..YOU GUESSED IT.. my leftover food from O'Charleys which was a big no no.. O.K I live in Memphis and its Memphis in May. So I took my fine ass downtown to the bar-b-que competition and ate some bar-b-que......I munch quite a bit while i was there...I Came home rest a little that evening. That night I put on my hooker clothes and went back downtown that night with my friends and PARTY. I mean I Party.  28lbs gone says alot because I was moving these hips( keep in mind i been told i can shake a tail feather), dudes on my jock I was drinking and having good time & bam order some hotwings. Anyway Sunday came I cook a big breakfast, took my son to see Spiderman 3(good movie) went out to eat again that afternoon & no I did not order water & a salad... That night my Aunt cook dinner so I ate bar-b-que again, i had cake and icecream..That  night I made some daiquiris because my MAN  (he thinks he's my man:)  came over. Woke up this Morning 2 go 2 work with a hang over and GAIN 3lbs...You may say "girl  3lbs ain't s**t" but damn it its s**t too me. I know I put it on myself, I blame myself for eating all the wrong things this weekend. I FORGIVE MYSELF also ..    IT'S ON NOW..     The next time I post you will read some improvement. I don't down myself but I am ashamed. I work so hard to lose 3, 4 and 5 lbs but it was so easy to gain 3lbs in a weekend. But I'm the confident type and I like I say, its going to pay off in the long runs...So all you banders don't give up on yourself when you slip off. Slip your ass right back on and ride it on out. Till I lose another 10lbs I will holla..Stay Sweet

Not 2 happy

May 17, 2007

Hello All, 
Well, I'm not to happy right now. I got my 1st fill on 04/25/07. My 2nd fill appt is on 06/06/07...I was so hype an wilding out when i got my 1st fill, because I just knew I will have restriction for a while...GUESS WHAT....My restirction lasted for about a week. As of now I can eat WHATEVA. What i mean by that is I can eat a bar-b-que bologna sandwich combo with fries without gagging or spitting it back up, I should'nt be able to eat that. I got the bar-b-que combo just for the sandwich because I KNEW I was only going to eat half the sandwich and give the fries and  the rest of the sandwich to my son...HELL 2 da NAW I was able to eat the whole damn combo by myself..WTF.. So after I ate I felt so guilty and so bloaded. The next day I hit the gym so fast.  I really felt awful. I have slipped up on my water and protein, but I am going to pick it right back up. I'm still going to the gym. The excersing really helps. I have lost 3lbs since my 1st fill so total i have lost 28lbs since 02/27/07(surgery date) My face is slimming down, my pants are falling down(not that way naughty minds)LOL. So overall I am still grateful I had surgery & I am overall satisfied with my results so far. I know we all have our down moments, our crying moments and our WTF moments. but its all good. As long as our head is kept up and nothing brings us down. We will acomplish our mission...The only down point i want is the scale going down YA HEARD...Everyone take care!!


My 1st Fill

Apr 27, 2007

Hello All,
     Its been a minute since I last post, but I thought I will give a update on my weight lost. I have good news and o.k news. The good news is that I have lost 25lbs since surgery on 02/27/07. YOU TALKING ABOUT WORKING OUT @ THE GYM. This is most I ever hit the gym(French Rivera Spa) in my life. I been going 4-5 days a  week. Mainly on the treadmill, bike & this machine that works your triceps & biceps.  I love the gym.(DID I SAY I LOVE THE GYM?) Damn right I love the gym. Its like I have to go and work out  or I will upset myself. I take my Ipod with me, turn that music up & Walk It Out. Next thing you know an hour has pass & its time to go. I take a hot bath at the crib, get cozy & I feel ssoo good about my self. I also received my 1st fill on 04/25/2007. My doctor injected 1.5cc so i will see how much retrictions I have once I start back to solid. I do need restriction because I can eat more than 4oz. The o.k news is that it seem I had to work hard to get past the 15lbs I lost. I was stuck at 15lbs for a while and I was thinking to myself why me.  I hope I don't be a slow loser. I want to be a steady loser. I do not want to see "200's" at all. I got 25lb to lose until onderland and my goal is to get there by 08/13/2007
Thats 4 more months. I will be at 199 by then if not less. You best to beleive dat. I'm motivated now, I'm happy I got the band. As long as I do my part by eating right, eating the correct portions, getting my protein & continue to excercise & stay on point. Sexxy98 is going to be straight. I guess I wrote enough. Good Luck to all & do not give up.

What's up eveyone,
   Well i'm still holding on to these 15lbs. The good part is I have not gain, the mess up part is I have not lost. My appt was schedule for the 4th now its the 5th, but I talk to my case manger and she said my doctor does his 1st fill when you hit 6 weeks and the 5th of April  will only be 5 weeks. So when I see him on my check up & I hope he schedule my first fill quick, fast & in a hurry. To be honest, I can eat more now then when I first had surgery. Yesterday I baked porkchops & check this out. I ate two. They was regular size porkchips, but before I had my surgery I could eat  two porkchops, So I figure if I ate one I will be satisfied. I was still hungry so I ate another one, then I was straight. So I know that is a sign of a FILL... I'm fenning for  FILL....  I will update later. Take Care!!!
