HELLOOOOOO Everyone!!
I am so sorry that I have once again been MIA for a while.
After I made my last update (6 Month Update-Down 115 lbs!!!) I was so busy with the wedding and new job that I didn't log on for close to a month.
Then when I finally tried to access my account I was unable to do so.
I have been going back and forth with the Admin's for the last 1.5 months trying to gain access to VST.
I have TRULY missed all of you guys! (Especially my SO CAL Sleeves Group!!!!)
Now that I have access again I will try to be a lot more active on here like I used to be. :-)

OK, OK, UPDATE TIME!!!
The wedding was absolutely perfect in every way. I will be making a YouTube video on Saturday and I will make sure to put pictures at the end if anyone is interested in checking them out.
My Job has become something that is very fulfilling and I enjoy going in to the office every day. I am so busy some days that I forget to breath but I never forget to get all of my Protein in.
I am now down 143 #'s at 8.5 months out which is only 7 lbs away from the goal that my Dr. set at 175#'s.
I think that I will be "Comfortable" at the Dr's goal of 175 but I want to let my body stabilize where it is happy. As or right now I really don't know where I am going to end up because this is the smallest I've ever been in my adult life so I cannot say what "Normal' is.
I am still loosing consistently every week so I think that my body is going to go below 175 no problem.
In the last 2.5 months I have seen the most drastic changes in the way that my body looks and fits in to clothes. I see it in my progress pictures; everything is really tightening up.
I FEEL small...Even my harshest critics told me that I look like I am 145ish and guessed Size 8 pants. (Which I laugh at because those number are so foreign to me...lol)
Realistically I am in Large-Medium Shirts from regular department stores and Size 10-11 Pants Depending on the Brand. (5'9")
I have sooooo Much more to talk about that I will address in my video on Saturday so please watch it if you want more of an update.
I'm really looking forward to being active again and can't wait to meet some of the newer users that I've missed since being away!!
Thank you all again for the nice comments on my 6 month update!

Did my weekly weigh in yesterday and I MADE IT! Wooohoo.
Looking forward to the Easter Challenge.
You are all doing amazing as well! Keep up the great work!

Grrrr this makes me so mad! Im so sorry you are going through this and I'm hurting for you lady!
No matter what he is going through emotionally he should at least be concerned about your physical healing process and help you in what ever way possible.
He can work through his own emotions just like you are going to have to in the coming weeks but right now is a time to focus on getting you home, comfortable, hydrated, and healing.
No married man should be more concerned with his phone then with his wife's physical well being. (That would be a MAJOR red flag even if you didn't just have surgery IMO)
Have you confronted him about being such a tool?!?!
(Im using "tool" because I don't think I'm allowed to use the term I would really like to)
