I am so shamed of myself, I haven't been on here in a year!  
All is going well. I hit a bump in the road every once and a while, but doesn't everyone. I am maintaining my weight very well. I am waiting on the consult for skin removal, there is lots to be removed.
I finally talked my mom into having surgery. I am SO glad!! I want the last years I have with her to be good for the both of us.

I am into this "Do I look ok" thing. Is't like I am looking for approval. I don't like it but I am always doing it. I look in the mirror and I like what I see so why wouldn't everyone else? I am LOVING shopping I can go anywhere and buy ANYTHING I WANT!! I am wearing a Medium shirt, and a 10-12 shorts/pants bras are the freeky part I am in a 36 D or 38 C depending on the make and style. I weigh less than DH, by about 6 lbs. He said he is going to start working out so that won't last long. Well, I don't have much to say so LATER!!

Well, I think we are about settled. North Caroline isn’t too bad, would have been better. We have our farm up and going with chickens, cows, goats, and pigs. It is a lot of work but we love it. It is a good experience for the kids also. 
I am so happy!! Today I got on the scale. And I am UNDER 200 pounds. I have lost 120 lbs since surgery. I am in a size 14. My next goal is to get down to Chris’s weight. I am already wearing his clothes. If I wear his it is loss I have to buy at this stage. 
It has been slow going the last few months. With us moving, I wasn’t able to work-out the way I liked. Then we are so far out it takes 45 minutes + to get to a gym. So, Chris set me up an area to work-out here at home. Now, I have broken my tailbone and can’t sit down much less ride a bike. It hurts to do as little as move my head. The Doc’s say it will be a couple months to heal. I will try to get some new pic’s up soon. 
Talk to ya soon!!

I have not been on here in FOREVER!  I am 3 pounds from losing 100 pounds. I can not wait for those 3 pounds to leave. I am still in Illinois. I have had a spat with Kidney Stones and they won! I had 2 that ended me in the ER on 2 different days. Is for my eating all is pretty good, still losing. It is hard not being in my on house. when you are at someone elses house they cook, that just doesn't work to well. What gets me is everyone thinks they are cooking a healthy meal for me. OK what was that a stick of butter you just put in that pan of veggies? NO THANK YOU! I will be glad when I am back in my own kitchen. Well I think that will do for now. I will put some pics on first chance I get.

I am so happy!! I am down 80+ pounds. I just can't believe it. I am wearing a size 18 pants and they are comfortable

I know I haven't checked in for forever. I am 50+ pounds down. I still have a long way to go. I know it is coming off, just sometimes it seems slow going. I know that is crazy thinking. 50 pounds in 2 months is great!! I am feeling alot better. I start with a personal trained on Monday, I am really excited about that. I need to buy clothes but I won't let myself. I have noticed food does not taste the same. I am looking for that one thing that just satisfies me. Mom says she hopes I don't find it. LOL     Gotta Go! Will write soon!! ~~Mindy~~

I am felling better! I am still having to make myself it (not hungery). About 5 hours after a meal i start to get light headed, so I know it is time to eat. I am eating between 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup at a meal. I haven't weighed in a while. A part of me wants to but I haven't. I guess I will next week at my 2 month mark. Well thats all for now. Will write more soon! ~~Mindy~~

Well I went to see Dr. Lord yesterday. He is sending me for a sugar work-up. I have to carry hard candy with me at all time, just incase it gets too bad. I had not realized that dark floaters in your vision meant you are about to pass out. This will make me sound stupid but I like to look at them. I think I feel all little better this morning, go figure. I go to the Dr. and magically get better, after 2 solid weeks of hell. Good news is I am down 32.5 pounds. I think Chris is just as excited about that as I am. Every time I say 30 pounds down, he says 32.5. I love him so much. We, Chris and I, are walking a mile a night. I think it is about time to add another block to it, just to push a little. I started back to aqua aerobics last night. I could really feel it in my tummy, so much I had to back off a little. I was able to take a link out of me watch too, that was exciting. Well I guess I have run out of things to say so, later!  ~~Mindy~~
