Well, in my last post, I spoke about the size 20 jeans that i didn't think would fit. They are now TOO BIG. They still look ok....and I wear them...but they are getting baggy in the thigh area and in the waist area. I finally broke down and bought more clothes that fit. I went to "Fashion Bug" and they have these "Right Fit" jeans. I got a size 3 and they fit PERFECT. Size 18/20 tops. Hopefully what I bought I can wear all winter....even if they get HUGE.   I guess I don't want them to fit ALL winter....but as long as possible would be great. Otherwise....will hafta do another shopping trip. Oh hum lol
I uploaded some pics that I had taken on Oct 31 and I swear that doesn't look like my butt. It's more proportionate to my body then it ever has been before. It's amazing what 88 pounds gone will do.
 Hope everyone is doing well!!

I took my son to walmart last night to buy a birthday preseent for his friend, and decided to buy something to use as my "goal". I bought a pair of jeans...size 20, because my 24s fit me not too loose but not snug at all. I bought a top in size 18/20. I have size 1x to 3x in my drawers. The 1xs fit me good now. So I get home and decide to try them on for my husband...to show him how they fit now...and that to fit in them was my next goal. OMG  they fit...YEsss the pants were a tad snug....but they were ON   BUTTONED and ZIPPED....I was THRILLED!!!  I have not been a size 20 since before I got preggars with my twins ( they will be 16 in DEC). What a wonderful feeling!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!!

I have had issues with seeing my loss in the mirror. When I look in the mirror, I see the same fat person looking at me that I saw before surgery. I have asked my hubby to take pics of me since the night before surgery and every month after. But they were all still loaded on the camera and so what good did that do me. I finally got them uploaded...although I only added the before and the most recnt pics at 4 months since surgery. I can finally see the difference . I am very happy with my loss...although at times I have felt it should be more. When I step back and think that I have lost 73 pounds in 4 months ( 295 surgery date to 222 now)   I am amazed. I will have to keep posting pics...so that I can see my progress more often. it's a great feeling!!
Hope all are having a great day!

Today is exactly ONE WEEK that I have stayed the same weight. Talk about FRUSTRATING!!!! I log my foods daily...and am taking in between 600 and 700 calories a day. How can you not lose weight on that?! I know in my silly little mind...that I need to not weigh everyday....but I'm an addict. I feel that I got fat because I didn't pay enough attention to the scale, so now I pay too much attention to it. I have my followup with my doc on 9/12 and the projected weight they have for me is 227. My scale weighs me in at 3 pounds less then his...so i actually need to lose 6 lbs before then. It ain't gonna happen!  Man o man....this sucks! I'm happy aout the 65 pounds gone.....but sheesh man...can't I have 66 or 67 yet?

I have to say that I am happy with my weight loss..but feel that i have lost some motivation to exercise along the way. It might be residual from my mom's death....that's what i think....kind of like a type of depression. I will get it back together....and start moving...hopefully sooner then later. Hope all is well with everyone :)

I haven't posted because it has been a stressful month. My mom was admitted to the hospital on July 1st  and we found she had terminal lung cancer. She never left the hospital and died on July 15th. I was with her when she died which I'm thankful for. I was holding her hand when she passed....so she wasn't alone. My step-dad, my aunt and my step-dad's brother were all in the room also.....I'm sure she was happy about that. It was hard to get all my foods and protein in well and also exercise so my weight loss slowed up some. Hopefully I can get myself in gear again. It's just been a difficult time.
I will post soon.
Hope all is well!

Yesterday I went to the hospital to have my IVC filter out. OMG...it was way worse then having it put in. Anesthesia wasn't there so I had benedryl and morphine for meds and it was NOT ENOUGH! I felt everything...maybe not to the extent as if I had NOTHING...but I felt more then I wanted to. It was very uncomfortable and now i look like Ms Frankenstein with a big bolt coming out of my neck     Anyways....glad it's done with....it went well besides that.....my surgeon said that it was a text book removal...so at least that part is awesome! .  Oh yea...just passed my 6 weeks after surgery and have lost 39.5 lbs. VERY HAPPY!

Hope everyone is havong a great week.

Well....TOM came on Saturday and I have stayed at the same weight the entire time....still 258.5. It gets frustrating when you aren't eating so much....like there is nothing you can do..your body has a mind of it's own. I am hoping that once TOM is done....that a quck 3 or 4 pounds are gone....UMM what are the chances?!?!   lol   we'll see what happens. Hope everyone is having a good day!

Well...this past weekend, My dad was here for a visit and we went to Ocracoke ,NC for a couple of days to get away to the beach. it was beautiful there. The beach was wonderful...my kids had a wonderful time. Anyways..I weighed myself when I left on monday and was at 262 lbs. I got back yesterday (Wednesday) and was 260.. I was THRILLED. yesterday was 5 weeks since my surgery and I had lost 35 lbs...that's a pound a day!  This mornign I get up, of course I weighed in...but this time naked and empty  258.5..that's 37.5 pounds. I am so happy I did this...not for a second do i regret any of it
Hope everyone is having a great day!
