Still the same!  Feel great, happy and loving life!

 92lbs gone.............183.............Wearing a size 12 jeans.........large tops............feeling absolutely marvelous!  Very happy, but would like to say 100lbs gone!  It could still happen!  I haven't given up hope, but if it doesn't, I am sure not going to cry about it!  I love the way I feel and putting on a size 12 jeans feels soooooo good!  I started at a 24, but I didn't like jeans then..........now I do!  LOL!  I have about 10 pairs...or maybe a few more!!  

  I can't believe it!! I woke up this morning and weighed in as I usually do...............and TA-DA!!! 90lbs gone!  I couldn't believe it!  I figured I had hit the bottom of what I was going to lose.  I really didn't expect to lose anymore as the doctor told me I would probably get down to about 190.  Being as tall as I am, I was beginning to think he was right until a couple of weeks ago, I started dropping again after a long plateau.  My goal of losing 100lbs total is now in sight!  Maybe then I take it down a few more notches and lose what I originally wanted to lose and that is 125lbs! I was told that was being unreasonable by many.  Then again...I am happy where I am at, but I would like to say 100lbs gone! My daughters think my arms and legs are way to skinny.  Oh well! 

Okay, I am 14lbs from goal and if this is all my body wants to give up....I couldn't be happier!  It is so amazing to be in a size 14 after living in the 2x to 3x for so many years!  I know you all know what I mean.  I am a tall girl, so 189 does well on me.  It's been an amazing ride and I look forward to more to come. Things have only gotten better for me and I feel great! I am still a diabetic, but I am okay with that too. I am on such a small amount of insulin compared to what I was on a year ago!  It could still happen that some day I may be off, but if not...I am okay with where I am.  I need to update photos, just don't have the time right now.  I am so busy!  I have a new grandson!! He is 3 months old today, so I try to spend lots of time with him and the other 3.  I will try to post more often, but I am sure you will understand if I don't!  Have a great summer!!

Three months later.................Oh well!  I am down 76lbs now and it seems the plateau might be over!! Yeah!  All of a sudden the weight started to drop again.  I hit 199 yesterday!!  I was so excited!  I am finally in ONDERLAND!  Yes!  I have not seen these numbers in 30 years, but so happy to be here!  My blood sugars have started to stabilize now and the numbers are staying lower without insulin to get it there. I am still on Metformin and a Lantus shot at night.  Maybe a few more pounds and I will be off the last shot! Not bad for someone that was on 6 shots a day before surgery, huh??  It's all still very amazing to me and I love it!  My daughter calls me skinny, but I am far from that!  Although being 5'11'' has it's advantages and that's one of them.  I am wearing 14/16 in tops and 16 jeans that are lose, but 14 jeans are still too tight in the waist. I'll get there though!  Have a wonderful Easter!

Okay, I hit a plateau at 5 month out and have not come off of it yet! It is very discourging and I don't want to be stuck here!  Everyone tells me not to worry and just keep doing what I am supposed to be doing and it will start up again. The honeymoon period couldn't be over yet, could it??  I think I will go back on a fast!   I did hear of a 5 day pouch test that I might try and see what happens. I eat plenty of protein and very little carbs.  I just need to get this thing going again!!  Any suggestions???

I am still at a 70lb weight loss!!!  I went for a group meeting yesterday for my six month visit and got to meet Deloris!!  We met on here before surgery, but finally met in person at our doctor's office!!  She looks fab!  I know I have lost in inches because my clothes just keep getting bigger and the sizes keep dropping!  I just want to see the numbers go down too!  Surely this is not it for me???  I am going to have to step it up and exercise more!  Tha't got to be it!  Plus I need to tighten up some of this loose skin!  Yuk!  I hate it!  I will update when there's news to update!

I feel like I have hit a wall dead stop!  I have been stuck at 70lbs for almost a month now!  I was so hoping to be in Onderland by my sixth month out, but with only 3 days away and 6 lbs to go,  I don't think so!  I am still very happy with my progress though, but I don't like this stall!  Happy New Year everyone!  Let's all meet our goals in 2009!  Good luck!

All I can say is.............WooooooooHooooooo!  I hit the 70lb mark today!!  My goal was 75 by Christmas and I just may come close!  It's been a wonderful journey so far and I am loving the baggie clothes!  Just means I get to buy more real soon!  I try to wear them as long as I can or even take them up to fit, but it will not be long before I have a whole new wardrobe!  The skin is shagging, but I would rather be healthy and thin!  That's all that really matters to me!
