Things are pretty good right now, I'm 9 months and 4 days out , I have lost 126 lbs. That is totally unreal to me, I just thought it would never happen and to think that it has not even been a year yet and to think that I have lost an entire person since last summer. We just returned from Norris lake, we have friends that are building a house next to the lake and my husband, daughter and I went there and helped a little during the week.
So things are looking up, my daughter is in FL for a week with a friend. My husband and I are home alone, which is wierd because we have never been home alone for a week. Yesterday we did what we wanted to do, my husband worked on building a shed and I laid in the pool and cleaned my house, did laundry, and believe it or not I enjoyed just being home and not sitting at a ball park all day. Don't get me wrong I love to watch my daughter play softball but the break was nice.
Well that is it in a nut shell right now. Talk soon.
Life is not changing fast enough for me!!!

Well life has not changed much since my last post, I weigh 181.5, so I'm down 7 lbs., for a month, that is not great, but I guess I will live with it.
My daughter is still trying to purchase that house, they fixed everything the appraiser wanted fixed and now the she is dealing with a loan officer at the finance company that is just an idiot. So she is speaking with the manager, hopefully he can do something. We hope to hear good news by this Friday, please pray for her.
I have been busy with softball with my youngest daughter every weekend we sit at the ball park morning till dark. Her team is doing very well, most weekends they play 7 games in two days. I love watching her play, so that is a big plus.
We are working with the mortgage company on our home, but who knows how long we will be able to hang on. I'm going to look for a second job in August when school starts back for my daughter. I run her every where now, but she will be getting her temporary permit to drive July 7th and then she will get her license in January. Yeah, she will be driving herself.
I think all this stress and me not being at home has made my losing slow down quit a bit. I still have 46.5 lbs to go. I hope I get to goal. I need to eat better and exercise more.

Where do I start, my weight is good 188.5 as of this morning but everything else in my life is terrible. My husband works a seasonal job and we got behind on house payments in the winter and now we may lose our home, if we do not get caught up. My daughter was trying to purchase a house and the appraiser went out today and said that it would not appraise for a FHA loan, so now she does not know where she will live, her lease is up and she has to get out of her apartment. My middle daughter is having some real bad issues that I can not help her with. I pray to god and hope that I have a guardian angel that will look down at my family and give us some guidance, because I do not know what to do at this point. So much for losing weight and thinking that would solve my problems, because my life has just bottomed out. I'm so sad.
My Official Century Club Card!!!

This morning, I weigh 199 lbs. I'm under 200 lbs for the first time in 18 years. I can not believe it, I really thought I was going to be one of those people that this surgery did not work for. I just can not believe it. I need a century card but I can not get the ticker nor the century card to work on my profile, maybe I need help. LOL. I'm so happy about having this surgery I can not even explain my happiness. 
WOW!!
Apr 17, 2008
Today I got on the scale it's reading 200 lbs., WOW, WOW. I can not believe I'm that close to onderland. My BMI is down to 35.4 from 53.3, holy cow what a big difference. I feel pretty good, just have a lot going on right now with my daughter in sports and my husband working a lot of hours because of the nice weather. I need to go this weekend and get me some smaller pants!!! Yeepee Yeah!!
6 MONTHS!!!!
Apr 10, 2008
I had my 6 month check up today.... 91 lbs., I was disappointed, I really wanted to be at that 100 lb mark, Oh well I will eventually get there. I told him I have been on a plateau for a week or so and he said "a plateau means you are losing inches and not weight and not to worry" But I want that scale to move....LOL. Doctor said my labs were great, no changes except I need more potasium. That means more fruits but not a problem, I like fruit but do not eat a lot of it because I'm busy getting my protein in. He also asked if I ate sweets and I can proudly say that I have not had anything sweet since surgery besides a few teddy grams, not sure if those count as sweets? So everything was great.
Will I ever?

I have not lost any weight this week, I have not been at a stand still since February, I'm so close to onderland and now I'm at a stand still. This sucks. I hope I'm not at the end of my weight loss, I will be totally depressed.
size 14!!!!
Apr 01, 2008
This morning I was looking in my closet and thought about the pants I purchased 1 month ago that were a size 14 and they were a little snug. I put them on this morning and guess what, OH MY GOD THEY FIT!!!! I have not seen a size 14 in 18 years. I just can not believe that I wear a size 14. LOL

Today, my weight is 206 lbs., I can not wait to be onderland, I was hoping I would be there by my 6 month anniversary, but that is next Thurs. so unless I have this extreme weight loss I don't think I will make it. But I'm still very happy with where I'm at. I shopped this weekend for some clothes to get me through my next size adjustment, size 16 pants and XL shirts, I don't even remember ever being in a size 16 nor XL shirts. My weekend was okay, I have a daughter that is very unhappy with her life and she tries to project that on me, she calls me all the time with her problems, I get way too involved and it puts me in the dumps, makes me upset with every one. I hate how my children can make me feel. I should be taking care of myself and not worrying about their adult problems. I used to eat during these times now I don't really know how to deal except to be in a bad mood with everyone.
