Almost 15 months out and I'm down to 124 lbs. Wow! I've lost more than I weigh! I'm down 130 lbs. My husband is really starting to worry. I need to get in and get my blood work done and put his mind at ease. I would have never imagined being this small. I am pretty boney now. I think if I ever do plastic surgery I would be tiny. I have a size 0 or 2 depends on the clothes and can fit into my 11 year old daughters clothes. Someday I'll have a flat tummy and boobs. I have boy boobs at this point  which as you can imagine are not at all attractive. I just have to wonder if we're ever really happy with ourselves.

I am so excited! I made it through my first year and almost to goal! I tipped the scales at 133 this morning. I have 3 lbs until goal. I am way past the drs goal so I guess I'm a success. Ok so I know I'm a success! A year ago I was 254 lbs in a size 22..today 133 lbs in a size 2..2! Unbelievable!  I've had some things happen that I would have never imagined. The biggest being the way people act towards me now.  Men that I work with that wouldn't even give me a second glance a year ago actually stop and make cheesy conversation with me. Are people that shallow that they can't speak to fat people? I'm beginning to think that's the case. I've had women refer to me as 'skinny bitch'..how funny. I have a lot more self esteem and energy. I would do it all over again definitely!! I'm going to lose 6 more lbs just to be able to say I weigh as much as I lost. I had to get my drivers license re-done due to not looking like my picture anymore. People don't even recognize me. It's all a little unreal. I'll take it!

Wow! It has been a while since I've updated. I am down to 137 lbs! I am only 7 lbs from my goal and I'm far past the dr goal. If I lose 10 more lbs I'll be 1/2 the person I was a year ago. It's all very amazing to me. I have so much energy. I just need to slow down now. I never thought I'd wish for that!

February 11, 2007--I weighed in at 145 lbs this am. My size 6 jeans are officially too big. My hubby said they need to go into the "pile".  This non-stop shopping is sure getting expensive. I would have never imagined 109 lbs gone in just over 7 months. Wow!

I finally did it! I made it to the Century Club. As of January 13th I weighed in at 154 lbs...100 lbs gone since June of 2006. I am amazed at how good I feel and all the great comments I get from people.  

My husband is so awesome. I was rewarded w/ a beautiful tennis bracelet..yes, real diamonds. He is always bragging to his friends about my success. He even went shopping with me and didn't complain a bit. I was shocked.  I'm in a size 6 pants comfortably now and small or medium top depends on the brand. I can wear a 4 pants, but still a bit snug.

It's been a little over 6 months since surgery and I am down to 157 lbs. Wow! I can't believe it! I've lost 97 lbs. I was shooting for 100 lb loss by Christmas but I don't feel like I've failed in the least. I am so lucky to be able to move around and play with my kids and buy clothes in normal sizes. It's amazing the changes I've gone through in such a short amount of time. I wish I would have done the surgery years ago. I've struggled w/obesity my entire life. I have 27 lbs to go to get to my personal goal. I am in a size 6 or 8 in jeans and small or medium shirt...unbelievable.

Not much to say except...down 92 lbs I was 162 lbs this am and bought a size 6 jeans. Ok, very tight, but I can button and zip w/out laying on the bed. Yahoo!

I am sitting here this morning reading the messageboards feeling like the luckiest person alive. I had the surgery less than 5 months ago and in that short time my life has completely changed. I pray to God I never go back to that place. I was 169 lbs as of yesterday morning. Yes, that's right...85 lbs gone! I am fitting into size 8 and 10 very comfortably now. I get on the floor and play with my baby. I can tie my shoes w/out propping my foot on something first. The best part of all, I feel amazing. I need to work on getting more water and exercise but that's been a struggle since the getgo. I was working towards 100 lbs by Christmas, but even if I don't hit exactly 100, I am still very thrilled with my results.

I've been ordering clothes on Ebay in different sizes when I see them cheap. I purchased 2 pair of size 8 jeans and I put them on this weekend...THEY FIT! I was so excited! Ok to be honest, I can't breathe but I can button and zip them w/out laying on the bed! I'm smaller now than when I was in the 5th grade. I was 176 lbs this morning--78 lb loss. I'm wearing size 10 and 12 jeans comfortably and medium shirts...yahoo. It's the best thing I've ever done. I don't regret it a bit.

Today is my anniversary...3 whole years! It's been a great day. My hubby was traveling so he called me at 7 am to tell me he loves me and wanted to let me know he'd be home tonight...5 hour drive geez he must love me. When I walked in the door tonight he presented me with diamond earrings! They are fabulous! The best news of all...I was 182 lbs this am...72 lbs gone. We're going out to dinner so I don't have to cook either. Seems about perfect to me. Off to dinner. Ok, so I don't really get to eat much but it'll be nice to get out w/out the kids.
