  Well I made it. I did not have any complications over the year. I had to increase D3 to take with calcium. I take 6 calcium chews daily. I take 5000 units of D3 daily. I take a multivitamin with iron. My regular meds are Zoloft 100mg,thyroid meds levoxyl150mg. and B12 1000 3 times a week. My annual visit with Dr. Aranow is on Nov.11,2009. I weigh 145 pounds which is my goal weight. I consider 237 my beginning weight so that is 92 pounds gone. (Dr. A started with 231 pounds).  I have so many beautiful clothes because I shop at Goodwill. I have 2 Pendleton jackets size 8! I just won 3 down coats on ebay so my winter big clothes are replaced. Last year I had coats size 3x and today they are size large.  I bought 6 sexy cami's to wear under seaters. I never had anything so sexy and pretty before. I buy good bras,Cacique brand. I still have to tuck those floppy girls in. I love having my picture taken even though my face is so thin. I look more like my mother all the time. That is a good thing. Now if I could figure out how to upload pictures that would be good. I look forward to another healthy year. I do not have sleep apena,gerd,or difficulty moving or walking. I exercise by walking the dogs or working in the yard. I really like to move now. 

 I am 67 years old today. I have lost 66 pounds since 10-8-08. I shop at Goodwill and have more clothes than I have ever had. When one size gets too big I return them to Goodwill and buy more! I am going to Maine this weekend. I have a new llbean bathing suit in size 18. It looks good and I can't wait to swim. I haven't been in the water for years and I live by a lake. I like me! I like looking in the mirror. I like talking about my new self. I am semi retired and well on my way to a new life. 

WOW  THIS IS THE FIRST NEW YEARS EVE EVER THAT I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT OR ACCEPTING MY WEIGHT OR IGNORING MY WEIGHT.  WHAT A JOY!  I HAVE LOST 44 POUNDS SINCE OCTOBER. I LOVE FEELING MY CLOTHING AS IT GETS LOOSER AND LOOSER. I WENT TO GOODWILL ON THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. THEY HAD A 50% OFF SALE ON EVERYTHING. I BOUGHT 4 BAGS OF CLOTHES IN  SMALLER SIZES FOR 65.00! MY SPRING WARDROBE IS READY. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK IN LARGE SIZES. I STARTED THIS JOURNEY A YEAR AGO. IT HAS BEEN WELL WORTH IT. I DON'T HAVE TO HATE MY NEW PHOTO'S OR BE DISCOURAGED BY MY WEIGHT. THANK YOU LORD!! 

My surgery was a success on oct 8. Only problem was with anesthesia and scary reaction. Changed meds and I was ok. I am home(came home on Fri.10th) I don't have any comprehensio of all that is happened. My husband walks me and makes sure I practice breathing. No pain just vague uncomfortableness. can't tell you how much my husband loves me and is caring for me. this was not his favorite choice for me but he has never let me down.

 I hope that I am doing this blog correctly so that  I can make friends. I have just discovered that I am one of those people who laugh off comments about size. Confrontation doesn't make me feel better. Now I am ready to take the step to be the size I want to be. I want to feel thin in my body and in my clothes. I have lost 2 inches in height over the last 2 years now my height and weight will match.
