Week 4

So Thursday marks my 4 week mark since my surgery. It's been a crazy ride so far! Here are my current measurements.   Waistline: 38.5" Weight: 227.3 lbs Bust: 45.5" Hips: 48" Neck: 15" Wrist: 7" Bicep: 15" Forearm: 11.5" Thigh: 29.25" Calf: 18"   Weight Lost: -37 lbs Total Inches Lost: -19.25" BMI Reduced: -4.2   I love watching the inches fall off as much as the weight. It really is wonderful! My waist hasn't looked like this in years!

Week 3 Measurements

I know I'm a week behind, and I'll get my Week 4 measurements up soon, life has been crazy. But here they are!   Waistline: 39" Weight: 237.3 lbs Bust: 46" Hips: 49" Neck: 15" Wrist: 7.25" Bicep: 16" Forearm: 12" Thigh: 30" Calf: 18.5"   Weight Lost: -17.7 lbs Total Inches Lost: -13" BMI Reduced: -2.7

Week 2 Measurements

So here are my second week of measurements, 3 days post-op. Already seeing amazing changes!   Weight: 247 lbs Waistline: 42" Bust: 48" Hips: 49" Neck: 15" Wrist: 7.25" Bicep: 16" Forearm: 12" Thigh: 31" Calf: 18.5"   Weight Loss: -8 lbs Total Inches Lost: -6.25 BMI Reduced: -1.2   I'm really excited to see what the results will be next week!

Before Surgery Measurements

With my surgery being on Thursday, I decided I'd write out all of my measurements so that way I can track how far I come every month after the surgery.   Current Weight: 254 lbs Waistline: 42.5" Bust: 48.5" Hips: 50.5" Neck: 16" Wrist: 7.25" Bicep: 16" Forearm: 12.75" Thigh: 31.5" Calf: 18.75"   I am able to keep these measurements with me on my phone thanks to the app "BodyShot." I know it's available for iOS, I'm not sure about Android. But it's an app I've used in the past, and I

Almost the End

Tonight at 6 I have my last appointment with my dietitian and then tomorrow morning, everything will be submitted to insurance. I'm not as worried as I was last week after speaking with some people here and the coordinator at the surgeons office. Now it's just feeling more surreal. After this, it's all out of my hands. Okay, so if I keep talking about that, I am going to freak out again.   This appointment is supposed to be going over any questions I have for the dietitian, so all month I've b

Things I Want to do After Surgery

So these are things that I can't wait to do after I've had surgery. Some things are things I've wanted to do all my life, other things are things that I've realized I can no longer do and want to do again. Become a runner, or at least a jogger, and complete a 5K. Go zip lining, sky diving, bungee jumping, white water rafting, and maybe even mountain climbing (that one kind of scares me). Ride every ride at every amusement park my little heart desires, and it desires a lot. Buy a wardrob

Started in Childhood, Now I'm Here

I clearly remember the first time I thought about my weight. I had spent all summer having slumber parties with one of my best friends the summer between 3rd and 4th grade. We would stay up late eating pizza and ice cream and soda and it never once dawned on me that maybe I shouldn't (and I was a kid, I'm glad it didn't). That year, her and I were on a new basketball team together, and unlike the year before where we ordered the same size, I had to get the size larger. A few years later, I remem
