Life is good! =)

Awesome NSV's this weekend!! 1. I fit into one of my goal dresses!! Not the ultimate, but one of my stepping stone dresses!! 2. I was able to buckle my seatbelt w/no problem and had to tighten it w/lots of the belt left hanging out! What a great feeling! Loving my band! Pix are up if interested! =D

Feeling good.. no loss but I can still see my body going through changes! =) Hope you all are progressing well!

Uhmm HELLLOOOOO NURSE!!! Whoa!! You are a damn bombshell in that blue dress, mami!! You are doing so amazing!!

-44lbs today! Not too shabby! =D

Hey! We have the same surgeon! =) Congrats on your success!!

Yesterday was my 4mth bandiversary!! I was officially down 41lbs!! Feeling pretty good with this steady pace..hope it keeps up (maybe even pick up! lol)!! Hope everyone is doing great!! =)

Minus another 2lbs.. bringing the total so far to 39lbs lost!! I can hardly believe it!! =D Enjoying my uptime.. cuz I surely wallow in the low ones..hahah

I hate mirrors these days. They just remind me of how far I haven't come. =( I'm almost 4mths out and I'm only 34lbs down.. feeling like a failure. I can't help but look at myself and wonder if there's really a thin person in there....

You look awesome!! You're def an inspiration of mine! Hope things are well with you! =)

Well, the reason for my past discomfort is I had an IUD placed a few weeks ago and after an exam and an ultrasound, I was told that it settled into the wrong place (my cervix instead of my uterus) which caused the pinching and cramping..amongst other discomforts. Hopefully once I am over this, the weight loss will kick back up. HOPEFULLY!! Sheesh.. =/

Things are going ok.. just kind of rolling along. At another plateau ..but I know I'll get past it. Had some things done and my body is still in the adjustment phase from those. But, feeling good overall. Hope everyone is doing well!! =)

Down 32lbs as of today!! I can't believe it!! I lost 3lbs since Thursday! Gonna be awesome to see a new set of numbers on the scale! =D

Had my 3rd fill and it looks like I'm at my sweet spot!! =D I can't eat much AT ALL and I'm loving it!! I know I'm going to be seeing some serious results soon! Hope you guys are doing great! =) *O yea..I bought a new car this weekend!* Good things all around!

haven't heard any updatea from you..how are things post op?? don't fall off and leave us hanging! =D hope you're well! <3

Logged a 5lb loss this morning!! Woot!!

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Sometimes you just have to step away.... bad attitudes won't stopping anything over this way.. just know to keep my happiness and excitement away from certain people! =)

Just had a thought: Mad props to those of you doing this w/o support!! It takes strong will and fierce determination even w/people backing you.. how much more for those w/no one to kick you in the butt or encourage you every once in a while! Mad love to all of you!! <3

*singing* Just keep swimming.. just keep swimming.. just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...

Doin well.. trying to get my behind in gear to exercise! I gotta stop thinking about it so much! Like Nike says, "Just Do It!" =)

I stepped on my scale this morning.. I had to prove to it that I wasn't scared..lol. I'm down 6lbs from my last dr.'s appt..which is probably more like 3-4lbs cuz I had clothes on at the dr.s appt. But I'll take it! =)

Went to church w/a friend Sunday and heard something that didn't really click until yesterday: "Stop letting your past dictate your future." Past failure is exactly that, past! I am ready to stop dwelling on what was and focus on what will be! "Focus on who I am becoming these days." A happier, thinner, healthier me! =)

Mood: Extremely discouraged. Thursday I'll be 6wks post op and I'm feeling like I'm doing something wrong. The walking and eating right does not seem to be helping. It's so easy to encourage others, but I can't seem to do it for myself. There are days that I wish I had chosen to get a bypass. I feel like my worst fears are becoming reality..that I do everything right and I still don't lose weight.. I don't know how much more I can give or what else I can do to ki...

had a moment of discouragement this evening.. just seems like this weight is determined to stick! I've been sticking to my program and not seeing any changes. Guess it's just time for me to change things up a bit and find what works for me. *sigh* honestly..this sucks! It's one thing to be losing the weight and not see it.. it's quite another to not be losing and seeing everything staying the same.. =/
