I haven't been here in a really long time...wow!  A lot has happened with me since I last updated.  I have gotten divorced, moved back home to Wyoming and met a wonderful man and remarried lol.  I now work full time as a server in a diner and am pretty much happy there.  I love my co workers and it's a fun place.  I am now like 4.5 years out from my surgery and  I have jumped up a little like everyone says happens...My lowest weight that was stable was 135 lbs...after a few months I jumped up to 140 and stayed between that and 145 for a few years.  Last year I lost my job and ended up getting transferred to another department which was A LOT less physically active and then last winter my mom ended up sick and in the hospital for over 3 months and all the old stress eating habits came right back with a vengence!  Holy hell!  I got on the scale after in March and was back up to 167!  I nearly died!!!  I started trying right then to get back on track.  I lost the first 7 relatively easy and stayed at 160 for a few months.  I've lost another 10 since then and have been stuck back down at 149-151 for a few months now.  I wanna lose the last 15 lbs!!!  or at least another 10!  It's frustrating...but at least I stopped the cycle before it got waaaaaaaay too far out of control!  It's funny to me now bitching over 15 lbs when before I needed to lose 130 +  lol.  Wish me luck!!!

As of this morning... June 17th, 2007 I am at GOAL!!!!   I know it will likely jump up and down some but for today, right now, I am at my goal...  I'm so dang excited it's just unbelievable and amazing to me!  I did it, I really did it!  I made it to a goal I set for myself that when I set it I thought was basically unattainable...  I mean who would have ever thought that I could weigh this little!  Not me that's for sure!  Now I'm thinking... hmmmm if I lose another 2.5 lbs I will have lost exactly half of me... AMAZING!  I think I'm gonna go for it!  LOL  might as well weigh 132.5 lbs...   YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY !!!!!  I DID IT!  It is possible, just keep on going, always keep on even when it gets hard and it seems like it is going sooooooooo slow, just remember it is going!!!

HUGS!!!

Hey all!   I haven't been to OH for quite some time...  I guess life just gets more interesting after losing so much weight or something like that anyway...  lol   So, as of this morning I am at 140.5 lbs.  I have 5.5 more to lose before my 1 year surgery anniversary on May 22.  I think I can do it even tho the loss has slowed waaaaaaaaaay down, but that's to be expected at this point in the game.  I pretty much like myself now, I just set that goal and damnit I'm getting there!  The only thing I don't like is the normal extra skin and hanging boobie issues...  nothing that a little ps won't help tho.  And in all honesty I'd take those issues over being as heavy as I was ever again.  Right now I'm in a womens size 8 or 6 shorts and med - large shirts.  It sooooooooooo amazes me.  I never thought I'd fit into such a small size... Crazy!  I'll probably update in about a lb or so because that's when the U.S. Centers for disease control BMI chart says I'll be a "normal" weight and not overweight anymore and who can believe that?!?!  So, till then, take care!!!

It's been a little over a month since I wrote anything.  So, I guess I better update!  Things were going sooooo slow for awhile after I hit my 100 lb loss in December!  I'm happy to say that I've gradually added another 10 lb loss since then so I'm up to 110 lb loss total and at 155 lbs!!!  I haven't weighed this little since I got pregnant with my son 10 years ago!  Now I have 20 lbs to go before 5/22/07...  I have to do it! ;)  That gives me over 3 months get there!  VERY DOABLE!!!  I don't know what I'll do when I actually reach my goal, I've had such tunnel vision about my goals that when I get there where am I going to focus all that energy?  lol  Guess I'll cross that bridge when I come to it!!  Have a great February  everyone!!!

First I want to tell everyone I hope you all have the Happiest New Year ever!!!   Ok, so I decided that my next goal is to be at my goal of 135 lbs by my 1 year surgiversary on 5/22/07!  As of today I'm at 163 lbs so I have 28 lbs to lose in 19w & 5d!  Equals out to about 1.5lbs a week... That seems doable... at least if I don't hit many more of those awful stalls...  Keep your fingers crossed for me, please!!!! 

YAHOO!!!  I finally did it!  165 lbs!!!  I lost 100!!!:-D  I'm so excited I've been calling everyone in my whole family and friends too!  I even had a week to spare before my Christmas goal was up!!  To think how much I was stressing over not making that goal...  Whew!

Ok, I'm so close to -100 lbs and yet my weight loss has really slowed down...  I have had the goal of being in the century club by Christmas since my b-day in August and I'm only 3.5 lbs away from it... It's just frustrating because for the last 2 weeks I've only lost  1.5 lbs!!!  It's driving me crazy.  Yesterday, I decided that I'm going to up my protein with a extra shake a day and drink more than my 64 oz of water.  Today, I worked out for a hour doing the Chicometrics DVD and then I went for a 1.25 mile fast walk.  I have to make this goal!!!  Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!!!

There is this strange thing that has started happening to me... I have to move the drivers seat forward when I get in the van after my hubby has been driving. This is so weird because in the whole time we've been together I've always kept the seat in the same position as him and it was perfect. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why this was happening either... I mean it's not like my legs have gotten shorter! Then, out of nowhere, it finally dawned on me that my butt is smaller so I sit farther back in the seat and this (not shrinking legs) is why I have to move the seat now! One of life's great mysteries solved! LMAO I'm such a dork!

WooHoo!!!  I'm out of the 180's!  179.5 lbs this morning.  My goal is to hit my 100 lb loss by Christmas.   I have 14.5 lbs left before I hit that mark and I have 7 1/2 weeks to lose it!  2 lbs a week shouldn't be too much to ask.  I can do it!  I Will do it!!! 

That's what I weigh as of this morning.   It's crazy because for the last 2-3 months I have one week where I lose a nice amount and then for the rest of the month it's between .5-2lbs a week...  Gets kind of frustrating, but at least I'm still losing so I guess I shouldn't complain!!!
