Arms are sore, but I finally made the scale move!! My clothes are ALL too loose, but that darn scale wouldn't budge until this morning.

I am definitely seeing fast results from amping up my workouts. I wish I could let you all feel my biceps and thigh muscles!!

70.8 pounds gone as of this morning. That's 20% of my body weight from start of my pre-op diet and 38.9% of the weight I want to lose to get to goal!!

9 months out today. More than 100 pounds down. I am still in shock and can't believe how fast the time flies...or how fast the weight and sizes go away!! I'm a happy, healthy gal tonight!

After I posted my update this morning, I moved some furniture around, emptied my storage unit, and did some housework. Boring, right? Yes, it is, but it's exciting too. I have MY LIFE back! The sleeve has done that for me! If I don't lose another pound after today, I got what I wanted. I can DO anything I want or need to do without pain and without being exhausted from merely walking! Thank you, God, and Dr Domkowski!

Arms are sore this morning from all the weights I did yesterday. Today is brought to you by abs!

Biopsy done, results are due Tuesday. I'm praying for and expecting benign.

Breast biopsy is NEGATIVE for cancer!! Thank you for your prayers!!

Breast biopsy scheduled for 2pm today. I'm a bit nervous.

Cat Scan done tonight. Doctor suspects another pulmonary embolism or DVT. Gallbladder surgery has been tentatively moved UP to Tuesday from Friday. Waiting on CT result at home now.

CT results are NO PE and NO DVT! Yay...They did find some kidney stones, which explains the pain.

Feeling happy and content. Off to sing some karaoke with friends.

Finally broke into a new decade this morning! This last ten pounds has been hard won! Happy dancing here!!!

Gallbladder FINALLY removed yesterday! This time it all went smooth as silk. I'm already relieved of the constant pain I've been having for months on end!!!! YAY!!!

Good job!! You are rocking it!!!

Hit the gym pretty hard today! 10 minutes on the bike to warm up, at a much higher speed than I use for cardio, then worked my muscles to failure on the weight machines. Feeling pretty good right now!

How bizarre is this? I've slacked on exercise this week and my weight loss has increased! Not sure if the stall is broken or if slacking on exercise (some) has made this happen! I see my goal in sight..less than 60 pounds to go!

I just started a blog to follow my WLS journey. If anyone is interested, here is the link: http://lissawlsjourney.blogspot.com/

I need to shout out a big thank you to Alex and VST! I'm thrilled that I won the iPod Touch, especially as I was looking to buy one soon!! Thanks again!!!

I think I finally broke this stall. Lost 2.2 pounds this weekend... AND got into a smaller size!!

I wanna know how many calories I burn doing housework. I have stripped and washed every bed linen here, dried them, remade the bed, gone to wally world for groceries (walked the store twice for grins and giggles), assembled 3 lamps, crawled under the tables to plug them in, then back under the tables to figure out why they weren't working, to the bank, washed dishes, vacuumed, put dishes away, up and down the steps to the outside probably a million times. I'm still not tired, but my h...

I'm claiming it! I have lost 100 pounds!! YAY! Go Me!!!

I'm feeling great!! I just got my page fixed! Thanks to Ken S!!!!!!!!

I'm in a new decade! Say Goodbye to the 240's and hello to the 230's!! I'm getting closer to my goal.....
