2 years out and 19 more pounds to go.
Feb 14, 2012
Hello,everyone. It's been some time since I've blogged about anything. Well life is good,I'm happy and doing well. I'm still losing and that's a good thing. Yesterday I put on a size 10 pants.WoW They are a little tight in the waste but I put them on and worked in them without any problems.I don't have any good pictures yet but give me a few more weeks and I promise I will post them.I turn 50 in March and will be having a really big party,so you know there will be lots of pictures.
You know when I was larger I said there was a little person inside of me just waiting to get out.Now that the weight is gone the big person is still in my head. I still see me as a big person.Everyone else sees a smaller person.What I would like to know is; Is there anyone else out there that still have big girl issues? Oh I know I look good when I do put on things that fit and I'm very proud of myself.After all it was lots of hard work in getting where I am now. Hey Janis come on to Greenville and party with me......

Happy Birthday To Me/ Everyone

Good morning everyone. Today makes it 2 years for me. I must say that I'm very happy. No I didn't get down to where the MD wanted me.However; to day I'm a size 14 and some 12's. I have never been that size in my life. It is so good to be able to walk inside a store and pick up something that don't begain or end with xxx. LOL I really wasn't sure two years ago if this would ever happen for me. The only problem I have now is my Hair loss. But I'm using "Baby Don't Be Bald" and it seems to be working for me.. I would like to wish everyone who had surgery on this day a Happy Birthday.

The New Me.
Mar 24, 2011
My starting weight was 256lbs. Pants size 24 Tops 3X. Well I made it to were I wanted to be.My Doctor wanted me to weigh less.But in the end it was up to me. Once I put myself in a size 12 I was happy. I didn't want to be to small.But I did want to be able to go into a store and buy clothes that fit and didn't have xxx's for sizes. And now I have done that. I still see a fat woman when I look in the mirror. I'll always be a big girl. I still get upset when I hear others talking about fat people. But now someone will say you're not a fat girl, and I laugh and say "oh yes I am." I don't care what you see on the outside,I know that there is and always will be a fat girl on the inside. I know where I came from and that's a good thing because this way I will not forget what the fight was like or how long it took me to get to where I'm at. I must say I'm very happy with myself.I like the way I look and fill in my clothes.I no longer run from the camera, in fact I welcome it. LOL I also find myself looking into the mirror more. I also know that I need to work out more to tighten up some of this loose skin.I still don't know if I would do it again,but I can say that I'm happy with myself and in the end that is all that matters.I plan on posting more pictures after this weekend.So for everyone out there that is reading this remember in the end it is up to you not your family and friends.Because there were a lots people who didn't want me to do it. Remember you have to Love yourself before you can love someone else. Lisa

I everyone.
This is my lates pictue, I'm in a size 12.LOL Who would have guess. I'm still not a size 8 or 6 for that matter but I'm happy. When people see me they have to look twice lol. The only real problem I have now is my hair. It has always been thin but it is falling out badly.I take my vita every day,but it isn't helping.Oh well looks like I'll be wigging it. LOL You know what they say, if you can't grow it buy it. Oh I did get another job.The pay isn't much but it's a job.
Janis maybe this season both of our teams will do better..lol
Much love to yeah .

Well I'm a little disappointed in myself. Here it one year later and I haven't reached my gaol weight as of yet.. I can't blame anyone but myself. I fall off the boat.. LOL Every day is a new battle.I haven't given up not by any means. However I'm proud to say that I've went from a size 26 to a size 14 and some 12's wow. Oh that mid-section of mine is hell. It has gone down a lot but not where I would like for it to be.I went to Wal-mart on Saturday just to try on a pair a pants so I would have an idea of just what size I needed to buy. The funny thing about it was I took the size 14 down and looked at it like yea right ,you really think you're going to get your big butt in this little pair of pants. Well I really did get in them and it felt good. Yet when looking for some thing to buy I always find myself going back in the womens department. LOL. All I have to say to that is I'm going to freeze this winter because I refuse to buy a lot of thing that I don't intend on wearing for long. 10/04/10

Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I've written anything. Well you know I lost my job back in March. So I had to make some tough choices along the way. Well with the help of a friend I'm now starting my own business.This has been one of my lives long dreams. It hasn't been easy,but I'm having fun and making money and that's what counts.
Well it's been one year since surgery,and I'm still not at my ideal weight yet. But when I look at where I've come from I'm still proud of myself. Just think this time last year I was wearing a size 26 pants and now I'm wearing a size 14. lol I have never in my life been in a size 14 anything. lol My weight lost should have been more I know,but I was battling depression and wasn't getting any excise at all. I'm still not getting much but I'm getting some. So there is still hope for me yet. lol Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Hey Janis are you ready for some football. Your team is going down on Saturday. LOL

Hey everyone. I know its been awhile since I've logged in,but I'm still moving the scales slowly but they are moving. I can hardly believe that its been almost a year. It has been a trying year but I've made it. Lord I thank you. I'm still the same size 16 as I told you about a month or so ago. Now I have to work on my thunder thighs and wings. LOL. My family and I went to the beach on Memorial Day and I know I did look great but Lord know I didn't look my worst either. LOL I still have 55lbs to go to reach my goal.And I'm like Mikey D's I'm loving it. To all my friends you can find me on face book under the same name..
Much love to everyone and keep on keeping on..Lisa

Hi

Took some pictures on Sunday and wanted to share them with you. I'm doing just fine. Yippee!! I went off the deep end on my birthday and Easter but I'm happy to report that I'm back on track. I'm holding my own. I did put on a few pounds but they are now coming back off. There aren't any more holidays coming so I will be OK. lol I don't know what I 'm down to now,but I just brought some pants on Saturday and they are still a 16 reg so I didn't do to much damage. lol It's late and I have to go job hunting in the morning. Oh I'm jobless right now. But I know this too will pass.Much love to you all...

Hello
Mar 07, 2010
Hi family. All is well here. I'm down to a 16
wow who would have thought, I haven't seen a 16 in 28 yrs. lol I'm also for filling my goals slowly. I still refuse to buy any clothes because for one I don't know how to buy them. I went out yesterday to buy a skirt or dress for church today. Needless to say it didn't happen because the first thing I did was go to the 3x's lol and I did it in every store I went into. Oh I did buy a shirt a week ago. It was a size L, because thats what I'm sure to (letters) xxx,xx,xL,L All I can say that when the time comes I'll have to take a shopper with me so that I don't come home empty handed. The ulcer seems to be under control, and I'm very thankful for that. I'm also graceful for the warm weather that is coming. I do hope everyone is doing well and keeping up with their diets. Yes, I've cheated more times than I care to share.
Peace and Love

Hello family. Just stopped in to up date everyone. I'm doing so much better now. No problems.
I went out last night with a friend,we had a ball.However I'm getting old I can't be coming in at 1:00 AM and getting up at 6:00AM
The body just doesn't work that way any more.lol I'm slimming down slowly, I was wearing a woman's 18 but now they are beginning to slip.Don't get it twisted I didn't say fall, I said slip. lol The scales are playing with me,what do I mean when I say that.Well the last time I was on them they said 202
however the other day they said 201.I just can't believe that I'm going to see the one hundred mark soon.wow. I don't know if I told you about my WOW moment. But I caught a glimpse of me in the mirror and I saw a curve were my waist is going to be lol and I had to take a second look for my self, and than I had to smile at myself. It's funny because I looked at everyone pictures and everyone is looking good and different at the same time. Yet when looked at myself I couldn't really see any changes at all.That was until I took my first picture and I have to agree a picture is worth a thousand of words. If it wasn't for my friend Janice I wouldn't have taken any pictures at all. Thanks Cat Woman (Janice ). 2/21/10
