Just counting the days and the lbs. before my wedding day, July 12th, 2014.

I have certainly had better days than I have had the last week or so. Hope things get massively better soon.

Take it one thing a time girlfriend, you will be fine! Stay strong and be well!

Well bust my buttons! New scale and it wghs me in at 211 lbs. 2 lbs. off goal weight. I think I take this scale as my companion! lol

217 pounds today. 97.5 lbs. lost to date. 8 lbs. more to go, until I reach surgeon's goal weight of 209 lbs. (45 kgs.), lost, in just under 9 months post op. As Nina Simone would say "and I'm feeling good".

Wahoo! Got a size 12/14 large sundress from Walmart tonight for $9.00. It actually fits, although it is, shall we say, snuggish. By the time I get back to New Zealand, I am hoping it will be just right, like me, lol.

Today, 218.5 lbs. 9 more lbs. to surgeon's goal weight, very much within reach.

10 lbs. from surgeon's goal weight this morning. Slow but sure, step by step. One day at a time seems to get me there.

OMG 221.5 lbs. 12 more to go until goal!

224 lbs. with 15 lbs. to go to goal. God that pound was a long time going!

Well got back on the bucking bronco (the treadmill) again today. It only jammed up X3 in the 50 min., or so, that I was sweating to the oldies. Anyway, hope to get a small squeeze bottle to help me lube this pony again and fix the bucking problems. Hope to continue with the treadmill, Mon. through Fri., from now on. Hopefully, this will help me move that stuck WL at 225 lbs. into a more downward direction.

Oh to be young (and thin) again.

What is it (my new profile picture) you might ask? It is the gap between me and the tray table on the airline flying from Auckland to San Francisco. Please note that the table is not resting on my stomach and I am not wearing a seatbelt extension!

Stuck at about 225 to 227 lbs. Need to hit the treadmill and cut about 50 calories, I think.

Got my new Fitbit from my Vertical Sleeve Talk pal Kirk today. Now I have no more excuses for not keeping track of my food intake and activity levels. Gee thanks Kirk! LOL

Well on the move again in a downward direction. 225 lbs. with 16 lbs. more to go until goal weight by May 2014. Let's hope it continues this way for the rest of my stay here in the U.S.

Arrived in Baltimore at 7:30 a.m. Friday. What a disruption long distance air travel is to WL efforts. Got to get back into the groove and on track for the next 6 months of my WL journey/efforts. t

Arrived in San Francisco around 1:00 p.m. PT. I took pictures of the gap between my tray table and my body. First time that I can remember that the tray table didn't have to rest/ride on my belly fat. Wahoo!

Well got my hair cut today and have no more denial about the hair I have lost since surgery. Good news is their is new growth showing up there somewhere! Here's unupdated photo of me with the new haircut and the newer 88 lb. lighter body.

Well after having a long hard reflective talk with myself, I got back on the x-trainer for 45 mins. today. I still have the Fibro pain, but I can't afford to not loose as many of those burdensome pounds, as possible over the next 12 months of my "Golden Window". Happy 6 month post operative anniversary to me!

Thanks so much for the kind wishes on my birthday! It was nice to be remembered by you on this special day. I have had a good birthday and look forward to the next year with great hopes and substantial anticipation! :-) Since WL surgery, I'm not getting older, I'm getting better!

Having HUGE problems with my gmail account. It has been hacked! I changed my password, but when I got in all my mail is GONE from all my boxes and files. Contact only left. I am screwed big time.
