Almost five months
Aug 17, 2007
Hello my OH fam,
how is everyone doing? Me I am doing just fine and can not even fathom the fact that it has almost been five months already!! Can you even believe it? Well I can not. 
But here I am almost five months in and I thought well what the heck I will weigh myself just cause. And low and behold I was a little shocked. Now mind you five months is Sunday and also happens to be my sons birthday and a big BBQ we are planning. {I will be good, to much cooking will not want to eat much.}
But anyway I weighed today and found out I have lost a few more. Not as much as I hoped but I have lost. My new weight is 245.....
Now I have a ways to go to my next goal of 228 but I am getting closer.
I will have to take pictures this weekend and post some. Until next time. God bless and be encouraged no matter were you are in this battle. At least you are not where you began.

Progress
Jul 31, 2007
Well we are at the end of the month and remember I said my goal was to be 248. Well I did not make it. No big secret to me. Man I have been so out of wack and cheating up a storm. Not proud of it but trying to be honest.
But on the other hand I am only two pounds from that goal. Well now that I think of it I made another milestone I had set. To get to 250 and I am there. So not to bad. I need to get back on track I am so out of focus and not doing what is needed. But with the help of God I will be where I need to be.
We moved this weekend and everything is up in arms!! I have to keep mine up asking God for assitance. But he is good and faithful!! So with this move we live one house and a field from my gym. Now if a sista does not make it to the gym she really has some issues huh??
1. TO WEIGH 299(BELOW 300)..................................
2. TO WEIGH 270..........................................................
3. TO WEIGH 250............................................................
4 TO WEIGHT 228(THIS WILL BE THE 100 PND MARK).........
5 TO WEIGH 199(BELOW 200)...........................................
ONCE I GET TO THESE GOALS I WILL SET OTHERS.
DATE I MADE THE GOAL(S)
1.4-3-07 299... YES.....
2.5-19-07 267
3.7-31-07 250

CONTINUE TO WATCH TO SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO GET TO THEM.
Well until next time that I have some progress to report. Love ya all!!

Four month post op
Jul 19, 2007
I have updated this chart since it is my four month post op but not where I would like to be. Still have 12 days to loose 7 pounds. I can do this! I will post pictures later. 73 pounds is not so bad for four months.
Updated chart
Jul 02, 2007
Okay I went to the doctor and I am down 68.5 pounds according to the doctor. They were very, very pleased. And told me to stop being hard on myself. But my figures show different. But I did not count the ounces. I hope that I can get down to the 248, by the end of this month. So I have 10 pounds to loose and than I will be at the next goal I had set. Wish me luck.
THIS IS FOR MY SEXY BOY {MY HUSBAND}

The other morning my husband came home and it was at 5:30am and we normally go to the gym but this particular morning I was knocked out and did not want to get up out of my bed!
Here he comes talking bout get up and come to the living room. I was salty and did not want to get up like I said before. So I drag myself out of bed and lo and behold he has something for me.
Yall ready for this?????????? I look and have to adjust my eyes. he went and got me a BIKE..................
I have been wanting one so very bad so me and my two youngest could go out and ride bikes. We did just that, and my brother joined in with us. I told my husband he needs to get one, { he says I need to get in shape first so I can keep up with him} And that is the truth so I am not mad about it!
Anyhoo, I am posting pictures of me and my kids and oh yeah brother, after the ride that almost killed a sista. And also after my second walk my husband bought me flowers for doing the dang thang. So I will post those as well.
Well until later and until I have some weight loss to report I do not think I will make another post. But you never know.
