i like it!!!! they say a picture is worth a thousand words... well i just have one.....DAMN!

lol i feel ya on the $$$ part... damn projects..lol

i was like that last night... i swear i couldn't satisfy my hunger to save my life... or my thirst for that matter.. i just kept drinking and eating..all day! i honestly think a lot of it has to do with your period, but i think a lot has to do with the fact that in general we are not takin in a lot of food and your body just gets to that point where it goes.. ok damnit..im hungry ..go eat something..lol Trust me that is not in any way shape or form the scientific explanation for why you are hungry.. its just my opinion.. i found that if i just go eat that day then im good. I get back on track the next day.. now im not eating crap food, but ill just go eat Protein or veggies till im full.. and then do it again in about an hour. funny part is.. i don't gain weight cuz im not eatin actually all that bad.. and if you think about it your still not eatin any where near what you would need to .. to actually gain weight, unless you are ingesting carbs or sugars. so try and stay away from those.

Im 10 weeks out and I have actually been running/jogging since week 2. It is very doable, just make sure to listen to your body, if it tells you to stop.. well.. stop. lol But I am actually training right now for tough mudder. Im at the gym 5 days a week and running 4 days a week. I start boot camp today so we shall see how that goes. good luck to you on the marathon I think you are gonna love gettin in your work outs.. I was always active before my 4 knee surgeries so picking up on the exercise wasn't too difficult for me. But i would say start off slow and see how your body handles everything then slowly work your way up to more each day. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

lissa, ima hit you up next time im in FL..lol borous, you know you like it!! lol all men like to be used and abused in bed.. now in real life.. i still like treating you all like you are the king of the world. lolol

I wouldn't personally know anything about this tho... *clears my throat* lololol

SOMEONE PINCH ME CUZ I MUST BE DREAMIN!!!!! I just don't know how i lived as a fat kid for so long... I have energy like you wouldn't believe!!!!! I am at the gym every other day and the days that im not at the gym im running outside! My only day off is Sunday and i dont mind it one bit! I honestly thought that me being in ONEderland was a fluke, but nope its hear to stay.. as of this morning I am officially 195.6.... HECK TO THE FREAKING YEAH!!!!!!! Ok so that was my happy dance..lol. These past few weeks I have been on one hell of a ride. gaining, losing, pretend stalling, lol.. but i know no matter what is goin on that week that the weight will countinue to fall off because im workin hard to make that happen! Im not perfect. I eat things i probably shouldn't, i drink alcohol, and in all reality, i need to stop that. But the best part of all this is i know i screw up sometimes, but that i do my best to get back on track. Before I had the mind set oh i screwed up well i guess i will wallow in my guilt and keep messing up.. now i just go well hell it happens now let me fix it! I know i normally start with stats but i just wanted to get my piece in. so here are the stats 5'7" HW: 265 CW: 195.6 GW: 150 and of course this blog wouldn't be complete without pics..lol the first pic..i wore that dress back in 2008 when my best friend got married.. it fits again! the second pic-- i know you have seen the dress before but that was me on valentines day!

PEOPLE I HAVE THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS!!!! IT CAME TO ME IN A DREAM... it was heaven sent... i almost didn't know what to do with the information and then i finally decided........ I'M HAVING A PASSION PARTY!!!!!! LOLOLOL OR Im going to vegas and checking out this bunny ranch idea! or was it THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER!!! I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO REMEMBER ALL THAT WELL.

mmmmm... sounds delicious i may have to check that out!

for the back supermans are great..... lay on the ground on your tummy.. and lift opposing limbs meaning left arm right leg... and switch. when you lift hold for approx 3 sec before switching.. do 3 sets of 8 reps on each side.

grrrrrr!!!! all this talk about sex!!!! I SERIOUSLY NEED TO FIND ME A BOYFRIEND...LOL!!

ok i guess i needed to be a little more specific on that one.. PDX is correct.. i wasn't condoning just flat out lying if you weren't really mentally ready for the surgery i was just saying that there are certain things that will get you denied on point if your not careful and something that happened 11 years ago probably doesnt need to be mentioned... but i agree completely that there are some people that really aren't ready to have a surgery of any magnitude until they get there mental state in check about food first!

thank you ladies.. yes i am very excited and hoping to keep up the losses!!! he he he

it definitely is some of the fat being expelled from your body, and actually the water will help flush that out more quickly. But also exercise will help to.. because it will force your muscles to contract causing them to move the gunk inside you to move as well. ... you will notice this from time to time but its nothing to really worry about... i guess you can say its a good thing... you know unless you are eattin a lot of hard boiled eggs in which case... its probably the sulfer! lololol

yay!!!! finally a few more men!!!!! for those of you that havent been sleeved yet, good luck on your journey.. you are gonna be really happy with your decision to get the VSG. I can't wait to start seein your progress! and listen to GMAN, its very important that you tell the psych person what they wanna hear, i know it sounds fake, but seriously that is the one place where it can hurt your chances at getting the surgery... sucks i know!

freakin emoticons!!!!! i love that it sums up everything you wanna say... lol

ok.. nope not experiencing it, but i can kind of let you know whats going on.. basically because you are not intaking a lot of food anymore, your body now has time to remove the plaque build up on your intestinal lining... thats where you are getting the smell from and probably the greasiness. drinking lots of Water will help dissipate the smel and actually help get rid of the plaque quicker. hope that helps

ill keep praying that you have a speedy recovery!!! so glad that its not a leak!!!! But make sure to take care of yourself, cuz we don't wanna see anymore of these posts lol... feel better soon!!!

i love it!!!!!! i mean what you wrote.. lol... see this topic is just too funny not to talk about.. so i have figured out a way to control my um.... urges..lol... i run like the wind.. daily.. so im tooo exhausted to even think about it..I guess the only good think about bein a girl is that we wont pitch a tent every morning..lmao!!!! ****** construction*** oh trust me you will!!!!! )

keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!!! please let us know what the docs say.. as you haven't responded im a little worried... but im hoping for the best!

you will get there... and hell congrats on being so close to goal!!! those last 2 lbs will be stubborn i sure, but you will kick them.

Ok everyone status update: 5'7" HW:265 GWS:250 DoS:238.1 CW:199.6 GW:150 WOW!!!! where do I start... Since December 12, 2011 this has been one amazing journey! I am down approx 39 lbs in 9 weeks, I don't think i could have accomplished that in 6 months prior to the surgery. This is my tool for a better life and a better me, living pain free. I never thought i would make it here but yesterday I finally made it to ONEderland!!!!! And even tho its that TOM, and i throughly expect that number to go back to the 200's i know that it will drop below again once aunt flow goes away! But for right now I will take this little victory!!! AND SHOUT IT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!!!!!!! lol... on another note... Today is also the start of my TOUGH MUDDER training.. i will be kicking my own ass all up and down the block.. and i am hoping that this will help keep the lbs away during aunties visit.. lol But more importantly im doing this to prove to all my haters, doubters, and **** talkers, THAT I DON'T GIVE A RATS BEHIND if they think i CAN'T do it.. I AM NO LONGER LOSING WEIGHT FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT ME!!!!!! he he he... go me! so im trying to decide if i want to start a whole new blog for my training or not.. i guess let me know if you guys are interested in the journey..and if you don't know what TOUGH MUDDER IS.... youtube it for 2012... ITS INTENSE AND NOT FOR THE FAINT OR WEAK! and no you wont see any blood or gore..lol
