Still weigh the same, Aug. 19, but I just wanted to share this lil bit of info...went to Curves a couple days ago, and got measured, was hoping to join the "3 foot club", well I skipped over the 3 foot club and hopped right into the (drum roll please...) "4 foot club!!!" I've lost a total of 48 and 3/4 inches entirely! AWESOME OR WHAT???

aug 2nd, today I weighed 184, bmi thingy says I am moderately overweight instead of obese or morbidly obese! wearing a size 12 jeans, ( i don't remember when I wore a size 12 jeans last), and how in the world I can weigh 184 and wear a size 12...insane~but i'll take it! Have a little bit of loose skin but not too bad, worst area is my upper thigh area, and of course...the girls will never be the same (god i miss them...) but hey, they are still kinda cute! I feel better then I have in years, and it's so fun running into people that I haven't seen in a long time. I feel that I look younger and prettier than I have in a long time...and that makes me feel better about myself....it was always so hard trusting that any male in my life could accept me the way I was due to the fact that I wasn't accepting of my physical appearance...And I am finally done with my ex-boyfreind...omg...i will not ever speak to or meet anyone on the internet again (avoiding saying never! lol) I have never met such sick peoplein my life....at this point I am back in my own apartment...I have a second interview next week and switching to a job where I can finally be of service to people trying to recover from alcoholism...(I am in recovery myself)...and will probably be working part time and attending school again part time towards an AA in Massage Therapy...time to focus on me again...and rebuild my life and go in a GOOD Direction....I would like to lose some more weight, and if I continue to do what I am doing I should be able to...my highest weight was 290...so I am 106 lbs from that weight, and my weight at surgery time was 264, so I am down 80 lbs from that...life is full of new promise.

Today is July 7th, my Dad's Birthday! He's 79 today,wow! I went and excersized yesterday and the day before, weighed in...and if I was physically capable I would have done a handstand or a cartwheel at least lol, finally down to under 200 lbs! (doin the happy dance for sure) I weighed 198, so that is a big goal reached, and (drum roll please), I'm finally smaller than my sister! HAHA! I felt like I was on the worlds biggest plateau, but I'm still losing so that's is grand, if I can keep up the excersizing and drinking my protien drinks and taking my vitamens I can turn these size 14 pants into size 12? That would be sooooooo cooooooool! I went on vacation with my boyfriend to Albuqurque, NM, he gained and I lost! He's smart though, he gains 5 or 10 lbs and he's hitting the weight machine (he doesn't wait til it's a 20 or 50 lb. gain before trying to do something about it like I would have in the past) He's one of those who's been thin all his life, now I can see why. (I can learn a thing or 2 from him.) I'm so grateful I haven't had any complications so far, not even any hair loss...I make sure (99.9% of the time) that I get my protien in (shakes), and take my vitamens, calcium, b-12, and b complex. Well,enuf for now, there are chairs to refinish and a kitchen to clean, and so on and so on........life is good...(one of the benefits of this surgery is how much better one feels about themselves after u start losing, I don't have to beat myself up on a daily basis about my weight and hate myself everyday...I can feel comfortable about my appearance most of the time, and be more confident, and men sure do treat you differently! lol)

June 17, 2006 Weight loss has really slowed down, Still wearing a size 14 jeans..and the other day I bought a size 12/14 top and it fit! Can't hardly believe that size as I sit and look at it here...feels good. Some times i still feel huge though (mental) I guess of all the things I've lost I miss my boobs the most lol. I bought a belt yesterday lol...I haven't boughten or worn a belt in years (didn't need any help keeping my pants up i guess). It's so funny running into people I haven't seen in a while, people I used to be bigger than and now I'm smaller, some of them don't even wanna see or speak to me (the jealous ones? LOL) It feels good when they say OMG u look hot, or good, or whatever, I actually bought a swimming suit too... a 16, should have bought a 14 but oh well..I can sew. My thighs are like jello...if they don't like it they don't have to look, right? I used to be harder...I guess all that water weight made me that way? Now i'm softening up, and I need to excersize more...I'm scared to death that I will need a boob job and a panni and a lower body lift and I don't have my same insurance...the worker at the social services won't even answer her phone...let alone respond with a message when I call her answering machine. BITCH!

6-10-06 I've lost a total of 34 inches...weigh approx. 203 lbs...(every scale is different)...got an infection in my eye the other day (unrelated to the surgery) and went to go to the doctor...they informed me that I no longer have insurance...(MA) seems my worker canceled me because she wanted pay stubs (that I hadn't saved)...I gave her a letter from my boss stating my wages, but that wasn't good enuf...so I gave her another letter from my boss and a letter from her accountant stating all of my wages (on both forms) and I guess that still wasn't good enough...soooo, I'll be speaking to my workers boss today and possibly to the attorney general and my senator...I got a new job, but the insurance doesn't kick in until 6 months down the road...(so I better not have any complications..) so far I haven't and i'm doing pretty good...I'm also calling my doctor today to let him know what's going on...this is not good. I'll post more later.

It's the 26th of February and I am at 210, not too bad, the pair of pants I am wearing are a size 14 :) These are stretch denim, boot cut, I may be a 16 in other jeans, I don't know, I really like this style so they are all I buy. I've lost a whole bunch of inches...5 and a half inches off my bust (i'll be back in a training bra soon!) 5 and 3/4 inches off my waist...6 inches off my abdomen, 4 inches off my hips, 4 inches off my thighs, an inch off my calves, and 2 inches off of my arms...I've really had a hard time lately though, so many old habits creeping back in, caffiene, not getting my water in...I get my protien in because I drink 2 shakes a day, been snacking on chips, not every day, but sometimes...sometimes it's hard to find things that will go down, and i know that the chips will...ya know what I mean, like sometimes something will taste fantastic, but my stomach won't like it...or sometimes i chew the heck out of something but I can't make myself swallow it...my check up is coming up soon...hopefully they can help me get back on track.

I've been staying up at my boyfriends house for the last month or so...but packed n came home tonight...it's good to be home in "my" world...was having a hard time coming to town to excersize and some old habits have been creeping back in...need to work on those and get back on track.

April 11th, 36 lbs gone...(the scale is moving slowly lately), I went to Curves last night and they measured me...for those of you who don't know about Curves, it's GREAT, when you lose 12 inches they put a "foot" cut out of construction paper on the wall with your name on it, (at least at the one I go to) well ,last night she started measuring me and said, " your going to end up with 2 feet!" I said " ya right", and she said, " no, i'm serious!" I said, " Really? NO WAY!" I went and tanned and when she was done I asked her what it had come out as and she said "24.25 inches!" I was sooooo happy! So now I proudly have a double foot on the wall and that was only after a month since I have joined, according to their scale I have only lost 15 lbs this month but it worked out to that many inches! LOL I'm amazed and truly grateful for this surgery... oh, some more good news, i'm out of the plus sizes now. 18's are fitting! (had to buy a smaller bra though, lol, too bad we can't keep those!) :)) the sad news is my brother, my mother told me last night that he stopped by and reported some weight loss to her...(not sure of the number but it really doesn't matter), and then he told her, ya know how i'm doing it? Laxatives! omg...i'm going to have to call him. or better yet, go see him. I haven't read up on the bad results of abusing laxatives to lose weight yet, but I'm sure that can't be good. I understand the desperation he must be feeling tho, and that is sad. It's so easy to put on and so hard to take off. I've got a little research to do before I talk to him, about how he is affecting his body. Think I'll print out whatever I find and give it too him...
