Measurements taken...

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.
