I DID IT! Century Club Member!!
Jan 09, 2008
Got on the scale today- 205!! I was waiting to hit that 100 pound mark and I did it -and even threw in an extra pound! 101 unhealthy pounds gone!! Thank you so much everyone. I feel like I just won an award and want to start naming off names of people to thank- and hope that the writers strike don't get in the way of the show :o)
I am still aiming for the 199 and have until Feb 3rd to hit it. Wish me luck everyone.
Have a great rest of the week!

2008- And feeling great!!
Jan 01, 2008
I know I haven't been on like I used to- I hate feeling like some of the people I used to talk about, you know the ones that get on here crying for support then just fall off after they have the WLS and start looking good and not depending on the internet as a source of entertainment because suddenly the social calender is full. I promise thats not the case here! Most of you know I live in Germany and for those that have ever lived here you know how dependable the internet is here-about as dependable as a certain leader of a country whose name sounds like PUSH :o) But seriously, it sucks. On top of all that, I have been trying to get the holidays under wrap. Its just me and my baby but during the holidays my big heart gets the best of me and I adopt every single soldier on the base and my house becomes a cyber cafe (when it works) a telephone center (free calls to the states from my phone) a place to get a well needed home cooked meal, a break from the barracks, a place to play the Xbox 360- you name it, these soldiers do it here. Most of them are away from home for the first time so it doesnt bother me, but does get the most of my time. So that is why I havent been able to get on here and get my OH family caught up.
Ok, so not too much has been going on, but here is a little run down of what has.
First, the most amazing thing happened at midnight 2008. It started to snow. For those caught up in those crazy storms I'm sure that is nothing grand. But considering the atmosphere, the oh-so-glamorous ball room I was in and the New Years kiss that was given to me at the EXACT moment the first flake fell, it was undescribable.
Lets see, I haven't lost much weight. I have hit a nasty plateau. I am just a good stomach flu away from joining the Century Club lol. I figure that would be the only way to lose these last few pounds. My diet hasnt changed and I am more active but just havent seen the scale move. My hubby says its because we live on the 4th floor -no elevator- and I drag a 70 pound puppy up and down the stairs 4 times a day and its building leg muscle. Could be right. This is all new to me so that sounds like a GREAT reason :o)
Hmmm, Oh yeah- I went to see my OB and she told me that the weight loss has caused my Hyperlplasia and my PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) to go away- completly gone AND my body has started to ovulate on its own. For some of you thats not a big deal, but for someone like me that has NEVER had a natural cycle its amazying. I've depended on medicince to make my body work every month. It hurt like h*ll but felt good too. Wierd I know,but to me it really is a big deal. She said that soon I will be ready to start making babies :o)
I haven't had any drama to report (keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood) Instead, people that really had no dealings with me before are suddenly trying to be my friend. They get the big HELL NO. They wanted nothing to do with me when I was tipping the scales over 300 but now that I am smaller, dress better, am more active and all, they are wanting to include me in their "Hen House" rituals each day. For those that dont know- thats what we call the building with a bunch of bored house wives sitting out front all hours of the day gossiping about everyone - including eachother. Just not my steelo, sorry. I mean these females sit out there all day, all night, all weather...no lie. But none-the-less, I wasnt good enough for them to return a "Hello" to when I first got here, now they are all in my face. Oh and I have a friend that is on the plus side that swears up and down I am going to stop being her friend to hang out with all skinny people. I tell her everyday day that I have no plans on forgetting where I came from and the treatment I got all the time from the skinny chics so she has nothing to worry about. Besides, if that was the case, I wouldn't have even bothered being he friend because I met her only a few months ago - after I hit my 75 pound mark.
Thats really about it. I go home for a few days next month YES YES YES! I am about to make Wal-Mart so happy and at the same time really piss my hubby off. LOL. Sorry but I really miss that place. He already knows we are leaving Germany with empty suitcases on my end because I plan to stock up while I can. Its harder to do here because our PX is very tiny so we don't have a lot to chose from and despite what people think, having a tax free place to shop aint much when they jack up the prices of everything. With this surgery I just can't afford to buy 45$ jeans every few weeks and the 30$ matching shirt. I just want to take the 100$ I spend on one outfit and use it to buy about 5. I can't wait!
On that note, I am outta here. Its about my bed time. Take care everyone and have a wonderful and blessed 2008!
PS- I'll have new pics up soon I promise!
Say it aint so!

I couldn't believe it, I did my weekly weigh in and I weigh less than my hubby! So what that its only by about 2 pounds, it still was great to call him and tell him!! I still can't get over the fact that I am losing weight with not much effort and catch myself still dreading putting on certain items of clothing that just barely fit this time last year. I wish I had gotten this done sooner-but am glad I got it done period!
Sorry this is a short one today, just had to update my ticker and let everyone know my news. While to some it may not be a big deal but to me it means so much!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Nov 07, 2007
So.... to those that havent made up their mind if this is for them or those that are thinking they made the wrong decision- just do it- and then call me screaming when you are trying on your first pair of jeans that AREN'T in the plus size section... just ask for my number, we'll scream together!
Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Its my (birthday) party- I can cry if I want to....
Oct 20, 2007
Yes- another year has come around and its time to blow out the candles, accept well wishes and gifts and be happy. So why ain't I? My birthday is tomorrow (the 22nd) and instead of spending the day being happy and chillin with my boo I will be alone and sad- they are making him leave tomorrow for a few months so in the morning I get to get up, drive to his motorpool and spend a whole 45 minutes with him then he leaves. And please don't say to chill with friends because my friends are in his unit and they are leaving too! So I will be stuck in a town that has a population of nothing and I don't speak German just yet so going somewhere is out of the question.I don't hang with these Army wives, girlfriends and fiancees because the females here are messy as hell - I would be better off just sitting in my apartment watching the television. This base is too small- my business comes back to me all the time...I mean dumb sh*t too. So why am I gonna hang with these dirty females so when their men come back the stories will be about the mess they did with other men and at the end of each story is : and Stac was there too. OH HELL NO-not gonna happen. Well my baby made me a birthday cake and wants to give me a slice haha.Don't worry I'm only taking one bite. Have a great week everyone-kisses ....Stac
The joys of being an Army wife....
