Discouraged and Disappointed

So it has been a long time since I have updated and it is because I strayed. Things on my end have gone haywire!!! Last time I went to the doctor (last month) I was at 237lbs. I have stayed there ever since and I don't know why. I am eating the way I am suppose to and doing thing right yet I haven't had a loss yet. I thought I would be in Onederland by now. On labor day weekend, my husband, son and I were in a serious car accident and I just now have been released to go back to the gym.

pushed it out

so i pushed off starting th C25K. i dont know why. i tried it last thursday and i made it through but it was hard. i just didnt want to do it this week. i did however do kickboxing yesterday which was fun. i am just so tired of looking at myself in the mirror. im at another plateau and i cant wait for my fill on monday. money is still an issue here with me and i hate constantly complaining about it but i am tired of losing things i worked so hard for. and to make matter worse, i dropped my googl

Back down to 237

ok guys so currently i weigh 237 and i have been holding off on starting the couch to 5k bc my husband says that i need to be under 220 before i start any running program. i have now decided to ignore that and i got a friend of my to join me and we are starting the couch to 5k on monday. im soo excited. im having a hard time losing weight lately bc i hit a plateau. a few weeks ago i started working out hardcore and gained back 4 of the lbs i lost and it got me really discouraged, so i stopped wo

beyond stressed

I’m just trying to not think about the bills that are coming due in 3 days. The more I think about them the more stressed out that I become. I just want to bury my head in the covers and not come out until the economy is back on its feet and we are no longer barely making ends meat. I am stressed out beyond belief and I am trying my hardest not to take it out on anyone. I worked out a few weeks ago and thought I was doing good but when I got back on the scale I gained 4 of the pounds I lost ba

mad at my body!!!

so its coming up on week 14 and right now i am a little discouraged...so heres the problem. this week i started working out and dd the treadmill on monday for 45 minutes, tuesday did a kickboxing class at my gym and thursday did a "beach body sculpting'class that involved free weights focusing on the arms, legs and adominals. i got on the scale yesterday and i was at 237 and now i am at 241. wtf!!! i figured that when i started working out i would lose the wieght faster not gain back the 4 frea

week 13

so i am commited to only weighing myself once a week. so when i weighed myself yesterday i was down another 2lbs so my current weight is 237. i went to the gym to day and am really interested in training for a 5k. but i want to make sure that my body can handle it. i dont want to screw up my knees or ankles. i am still eating the right amount of food and so far am not in need of a fill. mind you i have only had 2. but i made sure to be more aggressive on th second fill which i paid for in the

No longer considered Morbidly Obese - BMI 39

I know that it has been a long time since I posted on my blog and I apologize to those who read it. Things havent been so good with me lately. I have been feeling defeated for stupid reasons and my husband is still out of work which makes it that much more stressful. I went to my doctor yesterday to get my 3rd fill. I got on th scale and it read 239 when I went there a month ago it read 247, the same thing it read back on 3/18. So need less to say seeing a change in numbers was refreshing and

8 Days post opt

ok guys so i am officially 26 years old bc yesterday was my birthday and since i really cant eat anything i went and got my nails done bought some strawberry cheesecake icecream since i cant have the real thing. i know i know not the smartest idea in my head. well let me be honest i havent behave too well the past couple of days. i have been down in the dumps especially when i couldnt be intimate with my husband. (stupid reason i know) i have been sneaking stuff here and there and just chewing

day 2 post opt

so i definately over did it yesterday loading and unloading the dishwasher. im taking it easy today. i woke up this morning at 4:30 and took some medicine for the pain. its gotten more tolerable though. im not really hungry which is probably from the swelling. my arm where they had the iv in is black and blue though. i guess thats what i get for having small veins. so today i am going to be working on some homework that i need to get caught up on. i cant wait to take a shower tonight since

day 1 post opt

ok so my surgery went very well, so well that the doctor was surprised. then pain i my stomach isnt dibilitating but it is uncomfortable. it does hurt when i get up off the couch to move around. my throat is what hurts the most bc of the tube they put down my throat. when the surgery was finished i was only allowed to have room temp liquids do the only thing i drank yesterday was water and apple juice. today i made som chicken broth. so i had water and apple juice for breakfest and chicken bro

sorry i havent posted in a while

ok guys so i have my surgery tomorrow and when i went for my preopt i found out that i lost 15 lbs on the preopt diet. i was soo proud of myself. i am sooo nervous today i hate surgery and the thought of being put under and not having any control over anything. i hate that feeling you get after coming out of th anteshia (sp?). but i am soo exicted to have this done. tomorrow is going to be the first real step into my healthy lifestyle. i even went out and bought a new purse and wallet to congr

5 days to go

so i have 5 days to go and then i get banded!!! im soo excited. on monday i have pre opt at the hospital my copay is 980.00 which i was amazed when i found out. im gathering recipes and making lists of what i am going to need after the surgery. im scared of the liquid diet after the surgery. im hoping that it isnt going to be as hard as it is now.

so today was a bad day

so today was a bad day a real bad day...im very disappointed in myself and still feel defeated. i want this so bad and then 1 family emergency and it all goes to hell. the damn diet is making my stomach hurt and the dr said that it could be bc of not enough fiber so they want me to take some benfiber to see if the pain goes away. if not then i have to go back to the doctor. then i opened the email and found out that my surgery is scheduled for 3/11 at 11:30 with pre opt on 3/8. i just need to

Day 5 on Pre-Opt diet

So my weekend is over and tomorrow i head back to work. i thought that this weekend was going to be the hardest and that i wasnt going to make it bc lets face it when you are on the go constantly like i am its easy just to grab an optifast and go. but when you are home all day and have to make breakfest, lunch, and dinner for kids its a completely different situation. sunday was the hardest day for me this weekend bc i had to cook the family dinner for everyone. :rolleyes2: so i made dinner a

Pre-Op Diet Day 4 and a little about myself

My name is Ashley and I'm a 25yr old mother with a wonderful son and a amazing husband. My husband loves me the way I am but sees that I need to get healthy and get some of this weight off. He sees that it is starting to affect me. As a child I was never overweight until I hit puberty then it all went down hill. I was very athletic and fluctuated between 160-180, until I got pregnant with my son when I was 20. I have never been able to get the weight off. I have been at my highest these past f
