drumroll please.....
I have lost 42.5 inches. 10 of which were in my hips! Can I get a woohoo?

6 MONTHS!

Wow! Time flies when.. well you know the line. I can hardly believe it has already been six months. I will officially weigh in tomorrow. As of Wednesday I had lost 98.8 pounds since the morning of my surgery, and a total of 148.8. I really hope to get my last 1.2 tomorrow. I will be also checking my measurements for the first time since surgery. I am the most curious about that. Wish me luck! :)

Woohoo

Hi all! I just went through my ridiculously large stack of jeans. I can now wear jeans that are FIVE sizes smaller. I can hardly believe it. I put on a buttoned a pair of jeans I bought when I was 19. It's so difficult to see results in the mirror, but those kind of sizes really amazed me.

Happy New Year!

Yah for 2011! I have put off updating for a little too long. I have started out the year on a healthy note. I decided to start walking 3 times a week around my neighborhood. Just a half mile or so at first, then last week I did the whole loop for 2.2 miles. It's amazing how tired I was. LOL Gonna keep pressing on and hope to succeed.
I was discouraged for a while this month. It seems that every other week my weight loss has been around half a pound. It was hard for me to understand that small of a number. So I talked to my nutritionist and she gave me some ideas. I started counting my calories more closely and watching what I eat. I have lost over 4 pounds two weeks in a row. I don't care for "dieting" but I love the 4 pounds. As of Monday, I have lost 72 pounds for a total of 122.

Gobble Gobble

Hi all! :) This week is thanksgiving. It will sure be different. No food-coma for me this year. We are going to go out to eat instead. That will be the first time in 12 years. I ate out a restaurant for the first time this past week. We went to the Cracker Barrel. I had meatloaf. I felt pretty silly for taking 95% of my meal home, but oh well. :) This past Saturday marked the 2 month point. Only lost .8 pounds last week and I was very discouraged. I lost 5.8 this week, for a total of 45 in 2 months.

Hi all :)

Hi there. I lost 3.8 this week. Not as big a number as I would like. Patience is not one of my virtues. :) I have been able to eat more things this week. I started trying mashed potatoes and chili. I found some really yummy sugar free fudge bars. More exciting news..... MY WEDDING RINGS FIT. I am so excited. They haven't fit me since I was about 26 or 27. My hubby is thrilled.

My Weight Loss so far

So far I have lost a total of 80 pounds. WOOHOO! I lost 50 pounds as of the morning of my surgery. I lost a total of 30 pounds in 31 days. I lost 7 pounds the 4 days prior to surgery, so a total of 38 since September 15th.
