It's been so long since I've been on here...miss you all! Just a quick update:
weight: 167 (220lbs gone forever)
Jeans: 8
life: INCREDIBLE!!

I am feeling so blessed to have had this incredible tool of lap RNY to help me change my life and my habits FOREVER!! I never would have lost this weight otherwise...and I am still losing, slowly but surely.

 THANK YOU sincerely for all your support and friendship. I thought I would post my transition  in photos for all to see. I would LOVE to see my fellow September babies too!!

OK here goes the scary part!!

Starting weight 385+
July, 2007 YIKES!! I look like an overstuffed pool floatie...i don't even remember this chick, it's so weird...

Hope you like my transitions! Seeing it all out this is a little weird for me but I LOVE the new me, would do it all over again in a nano second if I had to. Enjoy your day!! ~HUGS~ Tomi

It's been awhile since I blogged. Sorry about that.

I just tracked my weight tonight. I am down to 247! Hot Tamales!! From 380....this journey of WLS is still blowing my mind. Things have slowed down a little bit but am still losing weekly/monthly. It's not easy, but it's getting sooooo much easier than it was. 

I am just loving life. Loving the new me, the new look, the smaller sizes and feeling so much better. Still working on some issues but don't we all.

So here's my big eye opener today...
My BMI was 53 when Is tarted this journey less than 6months ago and today it is 34.6...That is almost 20 BMI points~! Just blows my mind. AND, in about 30-40 more pounds I will be "slightly overweight" and no longer in the "obese" category...what the...lol

I don't know what that will feel like, but I imagine pretty damn good!
Hope everybody is doing well.

Hugs and protein kisses, lol ~ T

Wow my BMI today is 37.4, it was 53 when I started this journey...HOLY SMOKES!!!

So....now I am just obese...not moribd, not super morbid...just obese. Pretty soon I WILL be in the normal category!! lol

Thanks everyone for your, love, support, and encouragement!

Many HUGS!! ~ T

And I made my own little century club card...

THANK YOU EVERYONE for your support and guidance thus far!!
98 more pounds until goal!

HUGS ~ Tomi

273!!! I have lost 100lbs!!! (well a little more than a hundred)

I honestly never really truly thought this would happen. It seems surreal. I love this new life!! 

I've got another hundred to go just about to get to goal. I know it will be alot harder than this first 100. Wow it just seems weird typing it out, sorry. So weird, but I AM LOVING IT!!!

HUGS ~ Tomi

since I posted a blog.  The holidays were just so busy!! lol
I can't believe Christmas is here and gone already. BUT, we had a magical one with family and friends, and that's what counts. 

The weight is still creeping off...

So I couldn't be happier. I met my first BIG goal of "being under 300lbs by Christmas (07)" back in the beginning of December. My next BIG goal to track is "to have lost 100lbs by my birthday in February (6th)" and I am on way to making that one too I hope. I started at my highest weight, about 375-380ish (I say that because it depended on what scale I was on, but I tend to believe the 380...) and today hover around 290-292. So If I could get to 275 by Februrary 6th, that would meet my next big goal. So...about another 12-17lbs depending on which I go with, lol. BUT, I'm shooting for 18lbs by then, so we'll see, I'll keep working this tool hard! ;o)

Hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season, and for those who celebrate it a very Merry Christmas and Hasppy 2008!

~Hugs~  Tomi
