Last 15lbs
Sep 30, 2010
I am now faced with losing this last 15lbs. It has taken me awhile to start to focus on this last 15lbs to get to my goal because I am in a size 6 so I just got comfortable and stopped.
But I really want to get down to 135lbs!
I have found myself introducing bad things back into my diet...you know the crap that got me fat in the first place.
I was back home visiting my family and one of my sisters insurance will not cover the surgery.
We talked for a while about it because she was really down but for me it was the wakeup call I needed to get myself back on track!
I did not come all this way to not appreciate the gift I was giving.
And this was a and is a gift!
Watch out now cause I am back!!
This last 15 will not defeat me... I realize now that I am responsible for this outcome and me!
Food did not get me obese....I DID!!!
Man I'm feeling good!!
Lost 5lbs
May 10, 2010
I have finally loss 5 more lbs after about a month of up and downs.
It appears that I am back on track...yet a gain.
I realized through talking to a friend I was not getting enough calories so my body would not allow me to lose any more weight, even though I was working out like crazy.
I started back journaling and realized even though I was eating often I was not eating enough calories.
I was eating about 300-400 cal a day. Not enough. So i have started doing things like adding fruit to my shakes and making sure I eat my snack even if I do not feel hungry.
I go through periods were I have absolutely no appetite??? Go figure. But I am now eating anyway. I notice when I was not getting enough calories I felt dizzy all the time and my vision would go dark. Since I am not into starving myself I will continue to push through and make sure I get enough calories.
So far I am up to 800-900 cal a day. I need to get up to 1200 with my workout regime in order to be balance.
Wish me luck!!
Back on Track 21lbs til goal!!

I am finding other ways to deal with stress outside on eating. YEAH ME!
Usually, I go for a walk...if I am really having a bad day, I run....like a mad woman.
So far it seems to be working for me. Not only I have loss the 6lbs I picked up I lost 3 more.
I only have 21 lbs before I reach my goal of 135! My one year surgiversary is coming up in June and I am hoping to have reached my goal on or before. I am so glad I did this...even with all my complications! This is the best decision I could have ever made!
+6lbs WTH???

!But I have to take ownership here! I need to stop and change my behavior. Stress eating is what helped my get up to 290lbs in the first place. So starting today I am making a commitment to myself to do better by me!! I only have 27lbs to get to goal and I am going to make this happen before my 1yr anniversary on June 26.
I can do this...
I'm a size 6???
Mar 28, 2010
What the hell! I am a size 6 now! I Can't believe it. I am a size 6 now!
I weigh 158lbs and I wear a size 6.
Hot Damn!!
Stressed!!! Can't get it together!
Jan 13, 2010
It all started when I went home in October to TN. for a visit. I got out of my workout routine and got back to my poor eating habits. I discovered sweets do not make me dump. Only milk or cream based foods. This is bad. So now I am sitting at 183lbs and I can not get back moving. I am starting to feel like and failure and I keep thinking. How could you not take advantage of this? Do you know how many people would love to have this opportunity and they can't get approved. And here I am with a second chance to be healthy and fit...and you are blowing it big time.
I look at everyone's post and pictures and I see how well you guys are doing.
I am so mad and angry with myself…. and disappointed. I do not know what to do. I just can't seem to get it together and I feel really bad about this.
Have I grown complacent with my weight loss? What is it going to take?
Feeling really down
Lost 5lbs....

Loss of appetite?
Nov 13, 2009
Not certain if this is the norm..., but I seem to have no appetite. This has been going on for about a week now and I am starting to get nervous. I do not know why I am not feeling any hunger pains..., but I am not. I am hoping this is the result of me getting over the flu. But should I still not be hungry? I am averaging like one pound weight loss a day. This can not be good. I am not going to the gym our of fear that I could be losing to much. Does that even make sense?
Anyway, if I do not get my appetite back by next week I am making an appointment to go see my Dr.
Hope all is well?
Welcome me to Onderland!!!!
Nov 02, 2009
I did it. Sunday I weighed in at 198lbs!!!!
I have been fighting the flu this past week and now heading into this week as well. But it is not an upper respiratory infection so I can still work out! I am in the gym again full force!
I am soooo happy right now I could scream. It feels so good to be back in the Onederlands again.
No I am going to switch gears and will focus on heading to the Century Mark
.
I am ready to hit that 100lbs loss mark!
As of today I am in a size 12 (yeah me). I am thinking about resetting my goal. Initially I wanted to weigh 150lbs. Now I am thinking I may make my new goal 135lbs. I am only 5'6 and I think 135lbs would be a comfortable weight for me.
Man I am ecstatic!!!
I should be yelled at!!

Hey OH!!
The past to weeks have really been a struggle for me.
First of all...I did a very bad thing...I tested my ability to eat sweets and guess what.
Yep..I can eat them with no problem. No reaction at all. This is okay because I am really not a sweets person.
But when I went back home I got out o the swing of going to the gym. Needless to say this is a problem.
I have been back at home for at least 2 weeks and today is the first time I went to the gym
SHAME ON ME! I laid in bed this morning at thought okay Frankie, you did not go through all this just to stop now.
You see, this is a pattern for me. Every time I have lost weight in the past I always hit around 197-200lbs and I stop! Then I would gain it back. Not this time. I found my determination this morning and I made myself go to the gym.
I am currently at 201lbs and I am hoping and praying to get to 199 by my weigh in dated which is this Sunday.
You guys will know if I make it....You will probably hear me screaming where ever you are.
Wish me luck on the goal and staying focused!
Frankie,
