My husband has said the VERY same thing a few times, I just make sure I reassure him and remind him that I not only did this for myself, but also for him and the rest of the family so that I can be healthy, energetic and much better able to give of myself to them, if I feel good about myself...

You'll do great, and feel sooo much better physically and mentally. You're an inspiration to all of us... Keep us posted on your journey...

I know! i'm 51/2 months out and still eat too fast. I try so hard to chew chew chew but it's just not 1st nature for me.

Good luck tomorrow. You're so brave to leave home and start over by yourself. Sounds like a neat experience. You'll do awesome with this cuz you're tough...Keep us posted and take care. Hope all goes well tomorrow for you!

I reached my ultimate goal of 125lbs. My starting weight was 186lbs. My bmi is 22.1 now. I'm 5 months out, today!. I'm starting to appreciate just being able to coast and maintain weight. I'm curious to see how that goes. I'm wearing all of my old clothes from my previous skinny days! It has been fun gradually melting into them again. I haven't had to buy alot of clothes through my journey. Bought some just to encourage/reward myself along the way. Don't have alot to write right now. Will write more as I enjoy being at goal. can't wait until summer' I got a brand new Harley last september and plan to hit the road with my new bod this summer. Gotta get a tan yet and I'll be ready. Call it a mid-life crisis whatever, I can't wait to start my fun new life!!!

Beautiful poem, thanks alot for the post!

That's a tremendous amount of weight you've lost! We need pics!Good luck with the last 40 lbs. I just reached my goal yesterday. I lost 61lbs. I had a lower BMI starting out. I'm 5 months out tomorrow...you're doing awesome!!!

You're an inspiration to all of us. Thanks for your post...

YAY!

I was sleeved Aug. 28th 2012 and am down 49 lbs! Losing went slow ti.ll I reached the 3 month mark. I'm 7 lbs from my primary goal. My first goal is 125 lbs. I would be happy if I didn't lose any more. I feel great. I am so thankful I was able to be sleeved. I'm wearing younger, cute, clothes now. My husband is tickled to death about how I look, but kinda nervous about other men looking at me! But that'll keep him on his toes LOL! That's all for now. Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

3 months out, haven't blogged in a while been very busy working. I've been riding the motorcycle some, doing good with that. Rode into a small town sat. by myself for a sheriff's inspection so I can license it. Didn't have any trouble but was pretty scared. I just have 12 lbs to go to goal so feeling awesome about that. The hairloss has slowed down some (thank God). Feel tired alot lately...Not much else to write, thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

You've come a long way! Enjoyed your blogs! Youre doing great!

I got my reward a little bit before goal as well, I got a brand new Harley Davidson motorcycle from my husband. I learn to ride it this weekend!!! Congratulations to you, your pendant is absolutely gorgeous!

This is my after pic (so far), have 19 lbs to go to goal...

I was sleeved Aug 28th and have lost 37lbs. Lost pretty slow this past month but now have lost 4 lbs this week! I am very proud of myself and feel great. I'm gradually getting into my old clothes and I am 19 lbs. away from my goal wt. I had originally set my goal for 120 but changed it to 130 I feel that this is a more realistic goal. I'm very small framed so if i get to 120-125 lbs that's great, but i feel 130 is a good stopping point for me. I'll be able to wear ALL of the clothes in my closet at 130lbs. I take my MSF motorcycle riding course this next weekend and get my permit today! I'm so excited. I have a brand new Harley Sportster sitting in the garage that I have never ridden. That is my reward for losing this wt. my husband and I rewarded me this way. I want to be thin , dark, and on the road by this next summer. It will be a dream come true. It could be called a Mid-life Crisis by some i guess. Whatever it is I can't wait to make it come true. I have the boots, the jacket,the helmet (of course, won't ride without it),all I need is to learn to ride it!LOL! Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

I hope you can go ahead and have surgery... Maybe you won't break out any more...

I have ordered clothes that will fit me around my goal. I use them as inspiration to eat right, and as something to look forward to. I had part of the clothes from a ways back when I had lost the weight but then gained it back, plus some more. I bought a few pairs of CUTE levi's at a resale shop to hang around my closet to have for a goal. I enjoy knowing that eventually i WILL wear those jeans....

I weighed this morning (it has been a week since i weighed) and i've lost 3 more lbs. Not gonna weigh until next week. thanks!

I'm 3 weeks out and have lost only 18lbs. Havent' lost any last week. I hear this is pretty common. I know i am eating/drinking right. Taking 70g protein/day, and around 400-500 cal./day. I feel normal finally (since about day 12)... I had surgery in Tj. Mexico and had a very good experience with dr. Almanza and his staff. My follow up dr is Dr. Swain in Murray Ky. Everything is going normal... No nausea good restriction, and walking 1-2 miles/day. Just been walking 2 months or so. Plan to start running more and more as the weight comes off and i get in better shape. I walk very quickly and am progressing well with that. People are starting to notice the weight coming off. While i'm in a stall i still can tell my clothes are becoming more loose everyday. Haven't weighed in 4 days,, PLan to only weigh once a week instead of daily like before. It was discouraging to me to be in a stall and weigh everyday... Thanks for reading my jumbled thoughts...

Thanks.. You too...

What a B! You should have take her out back! People are so rude. Just use this as determination to be more successful. You're gorgeous...

I''ve been weighing every morning and need to stop...I just began a stall. only 4 days long so far though. I'm going to only weigh once a week starting today....
