Happy Day

Dec 20, 2007

Just a note:

I reached goal this morning. 160 lbs. I did think it would be a bigger deal than it is. But since I did this surgery to get rid of my diabetes (done as of 3 weeks after surgery) the weight loss is just a bonus. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Just a couple like quotes I like:

Dec 12, 2007



" Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."

                       "One day at a time--this is enough
               Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone,
      and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come
                  Live in the present, and make it so beautiful
                        that it will be worth remembering."

11 MONTHS OUT

Dec 09, 2007

Today is my 11th month anniversary. Not a whole lot going on right now. I am still down 109 lbs. I did by the way get into the baking mood. In a matter of 4 days I baked 66 dozen cookies. I have given most of them away. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Paula

What a Day!!!

Nov 20, 2007

Just a little note to say that anyone with grandparents should give them a hug or call them today. My DH grandma (whom we live with) passed away today. She was 87 and went into the hospital a week ago today with pnemonia (sp?). She had a wonderful life and now is in the presence of GOD and reunited with the love of her life that left us 12 years ago. Glory to God for grandma. We will miss you.

10 MONTHS

Nov 12, 2007

Hi y'all
Well Saturday I was out 10 months. It still sound crazy that 10 months ago I was 271 lbs and now I am 165 lbs. 106 lbs gone forever. I only have between 5-18 lbs to go in the next 8 months. I got to buy my first pair of size 12 jeans last week. I was trying to remember the last time I wore a size 12 and figured out that I have never been a size 12. When I started gaining weight in high school I went from a size 10 to a size 16 over a summer vacation. So this is a new experience for me. I still work-out 3-4 times a week, one of which is a bariatric water class that my doctor has his patients go to during the 8 week program that comes with his program. 'till next month. ByeBye

Inches gone!

Oct 16, 2007

Last night I went to the health club and after my workout I had the instructor do my measurments. Get this since Feb. '07 to now I have lost a total of 43 inches. That is crazy! Just thought I would put it in print. Bye Bye

First Time!

Oct 10, 2007

Today was my first episode of dumping. I thought I had had it before, but boy was I wrong. It was my own fault. I ate wayyyy to fast. I was rushing around this morning and soon I got this pain and now I am not putting anything solid in there today. Even after 5 hours I still feel bad, so liquids only today. Well got to go. Bye

I did it!!!!

Oct 08, 2007

This morning I went over the 100 lb mark. I went to bed at 171.8 and woke up at 169.8 (101 lbs) What a way to start off the day. After 6 weeks at 99 lbs. I thought it would have more of an impact but I guess for so long at 99 lbs gone, 2 more lbs does not seem like alot. Well at least I made it to the Century Club. Talk more later. Paula

WOW moment

Sep 29, 2007

Just a quick hey. I had a WOW moment this morning. I was at the mall and went into C.J. Banks I was looking for long-sleeve tops and the clerk came over and asked me if she could help me. Then she said that if I was there looking for myself then I would have to go across the way to Christopher Bank because she did not think anything in that store would fit me (in a good way), usually it means that the sizes were to small. I have never had anyone tell me that their clothes were to big for me. WOW great day. Later

Low iron?

Sep 14, 2007

It turns out that I do not have low iron, so I don't know why I get light-headed everytime I stand up. Why I am so tired all the time and why I freeze all the time. I saw my doctor at his seminar last night and told him that I would like to know the results of my lab work because I can't deal with getting dizzy everytime I stand up and being the humorous doctor that he is, he said you get dizzy and your not even blonde. Ha!Ha! He actually said that my vitamin levels were good so no need for any additional ones. Just my multi and calcium, biotin, b-12. That's it for now. More later.
