Thank you Liliana, I feel much better about me and my body now that I have lost some of the excess weight. I do feel pretty now.

Just over 3 weeks out. Jeans feeling loose and I'm feeling great!

Today is an amazing day. I have lost 50% of my goal. Down 58lbs. and 58lbs. to go. Such a great feeling!

Your Welcome!! &

Thank You!!

Less than 30lbs to goal! I love my sleeve!!

No way, no way did I just fit my butt into a size 16 pair of jeans! Lane Bryant, but still 16. Huh, I think I'm really going to like this sleeve thing. JK Love it!

Well, I believe I may have it my first stall. Haven't loss any weight in 3 weeks and acutally gained a pound last week. Still holding on to it to. This is an awful feeling. So scared because I have so much more to go and I fear this may be the end of the fantasy phase. Terrified!!

Wow, you are doing so great!! I am so happy for you.

11 months 90lbs. Just did all stats and blog. Very impressed with the last year. So ready to make it to the 100lb mark for my one year surgiversary.

Thank you for your comment. You look fabulous yourself. It feels great to be in that final stretch to goal.

9 months, 81lbs. still moving along

Just trucking along slow and steady! Don't know if I'll make July 4th goal, I know I set it high, but I'll get close.

Oh, great news I recently just got into a size 18 pair of shorts this past weekend! So excited!!!!

Water Topic: The more I drink, the more I want to drink it. I am more thirsty now than anything. Try replacing any random hunger pangs you may have with water. Find what works for you. Small glass by small glass many times a day. Or try a bigger water bottle a couple times a day. Whichever feat is easier for you. I think that masking the watering with crystal light only makes it more difficult.

However if it works, it works lemon is great also. Switch it up throw in an orange or grapefruit too! I get crazy looks from some b/c I constently have a water bottle to my face, but it slowly becomes a habit and you forget that you hated drinking water so much. I never liked it. Actually I hated water, now it is my newest friend. I see a weight reduction on the scale when I keep my fluid up too!!

Thanks for checking on me! I am doing great. Some days better than others, but overall I feel great and look good too. The compliments are starting to come in yea. 37lbs in 10 weeks isn't to shabby. Thanks again, hope things are going well for you too.

Today I am over 30% on my way to goal. Yea!!

At last, the stall has passed! Yippee. Lost the extra pound I gained during the stall and even seem to have dropped another two in the process. Weird, but exciting.

Half way to 4th of July Goal, I'm gonna have to put in some effort to get to goal in three weeks.

Yes, I had my surgery done May 3 in Tijuana. My experience was great. Dr. Kelly is an amazing doctor. Tips well depends on what topic, however, my tip for a decision to have surgery is that if you have done your research and feel this is the right decision for you then don't hesitate, go for it!! I'm very early on in my journey, bu, I think this may be the best decision I have made for me yet!

We are so very close in our starting weight and height. Just looking at how much you have lost and how good you look in your pictures is such an inspiration. I am so excited to be 6 even 7 months out!

You have done such a fantastic job! You are an inspiration and I can't wait to lose as much as you have. Way to go!!!

4 months 53lbs. & 49 inches gone. Life is good!

I hit 50lbs. today, woohoo!

One year ago today I was waiting in San Diego to go to Tijuana to have the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. It was and still is the scariest and best decision of my life!
