18 months today

I won't lie - seeing that +2 lbs this morning freaks me out. But I track everything and am completely honest about it so I know it is most likely fluids as I had alot of sodium this week.       SW 242 Height 4'11'' 6 month Pre-op loss (-28.6) Surgery date 8/8/11 213.4   1 month - 194.2 (- 19.2) 2 months - 180 (- 14.2) 3 months - 170.2 (- 9.8) 4 months - 164.4 (- 5.8) 5 months - 167.2 (+ 2.8) 6 months - 162.4 (-4.8) 7 months - 155.4 (-7) 8 months - 149.6 (-5.8) 9 months - 143.4 (-

17 months out today

I have been reflecting a lot recently about where I was a year ago, going through my leak and basically housebound. I am happy to report I enjoyed the holidays and even lost a little during them. I am so thankful for my sleeve today.     Start Weight 242 Height 4'11'' 6 month Pre-op loss (-28.6) Surgery date 8/8/11 weight 213.4   1 month - 194.2 (- 19.2) 2 months - 180 (- 14.2) 3 months - 170.2 (- 9.8) 4 months - 164.4 (- 5.8) 5 months - 167.2 (+ 2.8) 6 months - 162.4 (-4.8) 7 m

16 months post op - Merry Christmas!

Well the holidays are in full swing! So far, so good here! Still small trickle losses but most days I do get my calories in for maintenance. I am still trying to keep my walking up but darn the cold weather. I do a lot of trips to Walmart to wonder around for exercise. Have been taking advantage of some of the nice weather we have had as well. Have a great holiday, everyone! Be safe and enjoy your loved ones!   Start Weight 242 Height 4'11'' 6 month Pre-op loss (-28.6) Surgery date 8/8/11

15 Months Post Op Today

I am not actively trying to lose anymore, I am fine if I do, sure would love to see 112.5 which would be smack dab in the middle of a normal BMI for me but I'm not trying to get there. Just working on maintenance and getting in my calories and such, in as healthy a way as possible. I made it through Halloween with minimal candy eating. I don't forbid myself anything these days and I think that helped. If I want candy, I will have it no matter the day - but I find knowing that, I don't want it at

14 Month Updated

I reached both of my mini goals this last month, weighing a normal BMI fully dressed as well as weighing in at 121 which is half of me.   No real info yet on the plastic surgeon consult - they have submtted to insurance and waiting to hear decision on that.   Still enjoying my Weight Watchers meeting and the accountability it gives me each week.   Started taking a mindful eating class through my program, it is kind of odd to go through it when at goal but I am learning a few things.   I

13 Months Today - Lots Accomplished!

This last month I made my goal of 123.8 which put me in a normal BMI. I then made my goal of weighing that fully dressed My next mini goal is 121 which will be half of me. I want to get around 117 so I can be solidly in a normal BMI range. I am in no hurry for that.   I am loving the fall weather we are having and wearing jeans in a size 6!! Have never been this size in my life! I have a plastic surgery consult on September 11th. Most likely I won't have surgery for a while simply because wo

Happy Surgiversary To Me!

I'm one year today and just a few lbs from a normal BMI. I love my sleeve. It was a rough start with my complications but I would do it again in a heart beat. The picture is the start of my 6 month medically supervised weightloss, about 6 weeks before surgery then last Sunday.                   SW 242 Height 4'11'' 6 month Pre-op loss (-28.6) Surgery date 8/8/11 213.4   1 month - 194.2 (- 19.2) 2 months - 180 (- 14.2) 3 months - 170.2 (- 9.8) 4 months - 164.4 (- 5.8) 5 months

Monthly Weight Lost

I've been keeping track of my weight lost each month in my signature and it is getting too big, at 1 year I'll have to delete something so I have decided to go ahead and stop the monthly tracking there - I track on MFP and will maintain it here in a blog but not in my signature.   SW 242 Height 4'11''.......6 month Pre-op loss (-28.6).....Surgery date 8/8/11 213.4   1 month - 194.2 (- 19.2).......................................................7 months - 155.4 (-7) 2 months - 180 (- 14.2)..

Working On Working Out

I'm ready to start working out. I have done little bits of walking since being sleeved 8 months ago and that's about it. I currently struggle to get in 800 calories a day and I worry I don't get enough to sustain me through work outs. Excuse. I really want to walk my dogs - but I have 3 and can only walk one at a time...excuse, I know. Take each one for a short walk, right? I like riding my bike but not in the wind. Major excuse. My 24 hour gym is boring (is it supposed to be fun?). Excuse. HELP
