7 AND A HALF MONTHS

I'm seven and a half months into my journey and feeling great.  I must admit I've bumped my head a bit along the way but I'm ok. This mornings weight 169.8 - closer to my goal of 150 than ive been in a very long time!!  I'm still working. currently wearing a size 12 skinny jeans purchased at Walmart on 11/1/14 ...

Stuck & Frustrated

I've not lost a pound in over a month!! UGH!! This is almost depressing! I had a great exciting weigh in the weekend of my birthday 8/29 but I've not lost since.
I know its partly my fault. I've gotten comfortable and started allowing things back into my diet. Well that ends today!! Its 5:23 am and I'm heading to the gym here shortly to do a bike ride and a lil time on the treadmill. I've got to get my head back in the game in order to get to my goal weight of 150 !! I'm heading into my 7th month and IM NOT DONE!!!

24 Weeks & a Birthday

Last week I celebrated two things.... my 41st birthday and a 70 pound weight loss.
I'm at 24 weeks post surgery and down a whopping 70 pounds. I'm so very excited and grateful for all this surgery has done for me and will continue to do for me in the months to come. My understanding is most people lose the bulk of their weight in the first year, hell that only means I'm only half way done. I've got another six months of weight loss head of me.  Although I'm completely aware these will be slower months than in the beginning i dont care ... loss is loss.
I'm only 23 pounds from my original goal weight of 150 pounds. That to me is the biggest blessing!!

A lil lighter

Woohoo down a few more pounds. On July 17th I set  a goal to be at 173 by my birthday - well today I am 175.6 so I only need to lose 2 pounds in the next 11 days and that will be another goal I can put a big fat check mark next to! Wow 175.6 - 25 pounds to go ! I'm get so excited everytime I jump on the scale!!

5 Months

Im just a few days shy of my 5 month post op anniversary and I feel amazing.
Current weight is 177.6 only 27.6 pounds away from my goal of 150. Gosh I never thought I'd see the day where I was down to a healthy weight and feeling great.
Its amazing the strength and energy I've gained during this process.
Tammy started this process a few months before me 7 months prior to me to be exact and now for the first time we weigh the same !! 177 and 178 respectively!
Im so proud of her - I'm so proud of both of us !! The idea of surgery came up on a whim - and the decision was not made lightly. I know for me - sitting in that seminar and watching Barbara Satterfield speak of her experience and see her transformation I just knew it was my best chance! I only wish I had done it a few years ago - but I'm a believer in timing and this was my time!! They say most patients will continue to lose weight for up to a year - I hope so that means I still have 7 months of transformations!! Those last 27 pounds will be gone before I know it!!

Boot Camp 4 Months Post Surgery

It has been exactly 4 months since I had the surgery that changed my life.
I am down 60.5 pounds and now I'm focused on toning up!! Looks like Ive got a lot of work to do!!

17 WEEKS POST SURGERY

Its been 17 weeks - I'm down 60 pounds and feeling great. My diet is completely back to normal and I'm feeling amazing!! For the first time in many many years my goal weight of 150 pounds actually feels obtainable -- 33 to go!!
Ive decided its best to set small goals for myself - so my new goal is to be at 173 - 10 pounds - by birthday !!
