202.4, officially half way there! July was not a good weight loss month, however, prior to RNY I would have gained at least 5 pounds with all the stress and crap. Instead I lost 3. That still qualifies as success in my book!

I feel fortunate that my husband jumped right on the weight loss wagon once I had my surgery. One, too support me and two, because he to needed to loose weight. To date I have lost 70.7 lbs and he has lost 30 lbs. We both use My Fittness Pal and Map My Walk to help us along and keep us motivated. While we have only been together 10 years, we have seen our share of emotional and health related ups and downs. I was hospitalized 3 times two years ago for diverticulits,colon resection, mersa, and a fitula from the colon to the badder and my husband was diagnosed with stage 2 Prostate Cancer at age 47. I think we both felt that death was knocking on our door and we just weren't ready for that. This year has been a rebirth for both of us. Our children are happy and healthy, the youngest will be going off to College in January, our eldest just got a promotion and a girlfriend, and our middle daughter and son-in-law are expecting our first grandchild in December. 2013 has been wonderful to us. I can't wait to see what the second half of our life brings us. This forum has been so supportive to me as well. I look to you all for inspiration. You make me realize that I'm not alone in this journey...Thank you! I'm a happy girl!!!

Right before I had my surgery a good friend of mine asked what my goal size was, and I told her a 10. The day I came home from surgery, she came over and had bought me a pair of jeans from Victoria's Secret in size 10. I remember looking at them thinking, "wow, I will never fit in these tiny things".
I wore them today

So I'm 206, my 50 pounds down is 205, my half way mark is 202.5, and, of course, I'm dying to get to 199.....so naturally for the last 2 weeks I'm at a total standstill...all sorts of goals just out of reach...I know it'll come but dammit couldn't the scale drop 1 stinking pound since I'm so close?!?!? Evil scale, EVIL.

Stall stall stall stalllllll again! Arghhhhhh

I am about a week shy of being five months post op RNY. I have lost exactly 100 lbs since surgery date. Yesterday was not good and has me scared. I took my two kiddos to the movies and I nibbled on a a small popcorn and ate the whole thing. I also had a couple of licorice vines. I didn't get sick, but I haven't done that since surgery and it has me worried. I have tried to justify its by saying it was better than a large popcorn and an entire box of red vines. I was just so disappointed in myself. The process up to this point has been so difficult and I'm really seeing the results now. I don't want to compromise my success in any way. It made me realize that I can't wing it where food is concerned. I have to plan my Snacks. If I would have had some string cheese and apple slices in my bag I wouldn't have had the popcorn and licorice. It was a lesson learned.

I took s friend to the dentist yesterday and while I waited I crossed my legs!

I have not hit it yet but I can't wait to shop Victoria Secrets!!! Sound miner huh???

Please scale I promise to be nice to you... Please, please show a loss!!!

Thanks I don't want to disappear I want to stay in this weight

VEGAS HERE I COME.........bought a one piece swim suit not my favorite clothing item. I have to say that this time I'm rather liking the way it fits and looks! The big test is the formal for the cruise in August, I have three formats in the closet only one is wearable oh darn?!?! Must go shopping! LOL

Gootmy RNY Monday after having my band urgently removed in August. Surgery itself was not that bad...tired and run down but pain really not such a big deal. Getting rid of that band was a little piece of heaven!!!!

Wow! Congratulations on being so close to your goal!!

So I just bought size 14 pants (no W!), a couple size large shirts (no X or XX or XXX) and a 38 DDD bra (from a 46 D) the boob thing has me totally shocked!

As I write this I am sitting on one of my dining room chairs .................WITH MY LEGS CROSSED!!!!!!! (Comfortably)

My bra doesn't fit! My bra doesn't fit! I actually need a smaller bra! Hooray!

Tried on a one piece swim suit and surprisingly looked half way decent in it!
