So, here I am with an upcoming 11 month surgiversary. My life has changed drastically in so many ways from the weightloss that I could write about it all day long. As I get nearer to my goal each pound means so much more. I WILL make it and keep it there. However, if you look at my original goal, I only have about 10 pounds to go. But, my new goal is one that I am proud to say I can achieve. Excercise is going to be the key. I know that kicking up the exercise again will help me get there quickly so now that work has slowed down and i have some other issues behind me relating to my divorce I should be able to focus my energies on getting to my goal. Will let you know how it goes~! I have lost 130 pounds in 11 months.... not too shabby!

So it was around this time last year that I started researching surgery and what benefits I would have from it.

I now have lost 126 pounds.... Started off in a size 26/28 and now wear a size 10 or 12.   I have a mere 28 pounds to go to reach my adjusted goal of 130 from my original goal of 145.  I no longer have diabetes, sleep apnea, or high bloodpressure.  I feel amazing and have more energy than I ever have in my life.

I think I will make my new goal as the weight is still coming off, but I am still following the plan and sticking to what I am supposed to be doing.   I need to take some updated pictures and post them and I will do that this week... since I think I have changed alot in the last 30 pounds or so.

So here I am at 9 months and what can I say but what a difference it makes.   I have lost  a person now (117 pounds!)   Some of the issues I am dealing with are self esteem... sometimes I know I look good, but I still think a little bit like my old self.   

I am getting divorced which was really a long time coming but i think the surgery gave me the confidence and energy I needed to take the next step.

I am paranoid though about my skin on my abdominal area and wish I could do something now to get rid of it, but I know I have to wait...

I have 37 pounds to go to my new goal and have to kick the exercise back up a notch to get there....

So, tomorrow will be eight months since my surgery.

Wow....what a lifechanging experience.   Lets see, whats new.... I have cheekbones,  I can see my shoulder bones!    I went shopping and put on a size 12 and it fit.... I was totally shocked!!!   My weightloss has slowed down in the past two weeks although my exercise has definitely kicked up a notch. I can easily run for 30 minutes on the EFX machine.... ( i couldn't make it past 5 when I started!)   I think most of the lack of weightloss is attributed to starting birth control to regulate my periods which have been coming erratically in the past few months.  Might be stress, might be weight loss.... who knows.

I am completely determined to get to 130 though, so I have about 48 pounds to go.....

Hi all...   Well, I have been exercising alot lately and hopefully it will pay off as I get closer to my goal.   I am becoming addicted to pilates..who knew laying on the floor could be such a workout.    It really gives you this incredible feeling the next day in all our bad areas!

I bought a hula hoop yesterday and plan to buy some rollerskates I used to skate all the time but haven't in years!

I posted some new pictures.    I am in a size 14 pants and they are getting a little baggy and wear a large/extra large shirt.  I went underwear shopping and was finally able to toss the granny panties and buy some nice underwear in a real size!!!!!!

Things are going well....glad spring is finally here so I can do more outside.

So, alot has happened in the past few weeks.  I made it  to 100 pounds and I am living on my own now.   I guess it would be interesting to find out how many spouses can actually deal with the surgery.    It makes you wonder sometimes if you were fat because of their insecurities or if they preferred you being that way.

Counting down only 8 more pounds to go.  I have my six month appointment on the 20th so I hope to make it there by then!

Yeah... No More 200's...

I am at 197.2  Woohoo.   I have 7 days until my 6 month surgiversary so I have three pounds to go until I reach 90 pounds weightloss in six months.
