I have had a really great couple of months. I have not written in a while but I am still on OH every day. I am doin well. I am maintaining my weight. I weigh anywhere from 157 to 160. I am still in a size 10 jeans, although I did buy a skirt that was a size 8. Single digit.... Never thought it would happen. WLS is still the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Well I went to the plastic surgeon for Kaiser. She was very nice and she told me they would cover the excess skin removal but I would have to maintain my current weight for 3 more months. She also confirmed what I thought and that is that I would probly not be really happy with the results without the abdominal tightening. So I asked her to give me a referal to west La Kaiser where they do service for a fee. So we shall see what happens. I am not loosing anything this last month. I am pretty happy where I am. I will start the new year with no resolution to loose weight!!!!!

Im kinda discouraged. I went to a class at Kaiser about panis removal. It sounds to me that they will over cover it if the panis is down past your pubic area, mine does not. They also dont tighten any of the muscles. The pictures they show look like hack jobs. They even said you may not have a belly button. Well needless to say I think I would rather pay the money to have it done right. I am down a pound this month to 159. I dont feel like I am really loosing anymore and thats ok. My husband is always feeling me and callin me boney and stuff like that. That is still hard to swallow. I cant imagine I could ever be boney. Oh well Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  

I made it a whole year. This has by far been the best year of my life. The impovements in my health are tremendous. I just got my labs back, they are all good. I am very pleased. I weigh 160 lbs and I have lost 160 lbs. I have lost a total of 69.5 inches this year and have gone from a size 28 to a size 10. I would do it again in a heart beat. I love my friends I have made here on OH. The support has been critical. I even made it back to the gym this month. I am very very proud of myself....
  

Im down 4 lbs this month.... I can not believe that in 1 month it will be a year since my surgery. It seems like yesterday. I still have a hard time looking in the mirror and really seeing myself. There are alot of days I still feel 320lbs. I think it must take a while for your brain to catch up with your body. I found a bottle of my old blood pressure meds yesterday, it felt so good to throw that in the trash. I dont even know why I kept it so long. I think sometimes I will wake up obese again. Like this all was some dream that could not really happen. Untill next month.....

This month I have lost 2 lbs. I think my weight is finally starting to stabalize.
I am still holding in at a size 10/12. I am very happy at this point. I feel great and I really dont want to loose more than another 10 to 15 lbs or so. I dont want to look too thin. I like a little curve to my body. This month has been alot more crazy. My husband started back to school to get his teaching credential. I have had a lot less time to do anything this month. Its been nuts. I need to get my butt back on my exercise. I will make it a serious goal for this month to make more time for myself and my health.....And get back on the treadmill.

I am doin things this month... Things I have never done. I am in a swim class with my daughter. I would have never gotten in a bathing suit 9 months ago. I feel better all the time. 
I am down 103 since surgery, and 152lbs all together . 68 Inches total.
This month 8 lbs gone, and 5 inches. I am now less than 20lbs from goal. I am in a size 10. That even feels wierd to say. Thats tiny to me. I was a size 28!!!!!!  

Well another month has come an gone. Gezz 8 months already. I am down this month 95 lbs since surgery. I have lost 144 lbs all together.
I am down 8 lbs this month and am down 63 inches total. I feel really good. I am getting a little sagging in my skin. That is a little sad for me. I really want to think about plastic surgery. I am only a little worried about how I would ever pay for it. I am only 24 lbs from my goal. I can see it. It so close. I still go to the gym as much as possible. I am in a size 12. I think I would be alot smaller if it were not for all the skin. I am running on the treadmill now and can run 2 miles in 26 minutes. My goal is to run 3 miles in 30 minutes. Maybe by my 1 year out... We will see. I could not run for 3 minutes when I first started so I have come a long way. The journey continues........

I am so happy. I feel so good. This is such a different life than I ever dreamed for my self. I am down 137 Lbs total 88 lbs since surgery. I go to the gym. Yoga a couple times a week. I also love my bellydance class. I am down a total of 59.5 inches. I really just feel like such a different person. I am so grateful for this tool.

Well its really already been 6 months. I am down 81 lbs since surgery. I am down 131lbs total. I am down 54 inches since surgery. I am still very commited to working out. I am at the gym 6 days a week and I am doing yoga at a studio here in town. I also am doing bellydancing. I never thought that I would enjoy it so much. I really feel like a totaly different person. I love my new life.
