RJ'S/beginning

First bike ride this year and since losing 70+ pounds! What a wonderful feeling

The moment when you're husband tells you he's going to have to find someone to go out and eat with after you're surgery..Thanks that makes me feel awesome.

Feeling pretty sick with this withdrawal from pain meds.......feel so sick! bla!

Bought some size 14 jeans this weekend. Yay!

Minor binge and now I feel sick...

My word of the day? Is MORON... If this is applicable to you.. then my deep condolences!

I remember the doctor telling me in December that I could lose 80 lbs in 8 months if I worked hard enough. Lost 50 in 3 months. Just hit 7 months and I'm at 78 lbs lost! I can move, run, laugh, play and love myself again. Brightest wishes to everyone where ever you are in your journey.

A whole day all to myself...no husband or kid! Just me and the dog!

9 more pounds and I'm officially not obese!

Today I am under 300 pounds for the first time in well over a decade! And for the first time in my life I am sure I'll never see the 300's again!

If everyone would just stop eating solids around me for about 3 weeks, that'd be great.... thaaaaanks.... #Day2

Is it even possible I'm this **** fat? I saw a picture taken of myself today and really look gigantic. I still feel like a normal weight person inside after all these years so the photos shock me. Can't wait to get this surgery done. Approval, please come soon.

My dog Max had to be put down last night....I am so broken hearted....can't stop crying. A sad time for me.......

I ran today...It wasn't fast and I didn't run for long periods of time, but I ran!

I hope everyone is doing well! I am a year and a half out,(117 down) slowly gaining and trying to learn to maintain!

Hi. My name is Misty, and I am addicted to smoothies.

So proud of myself for not stepping on the scale in about 2 weeks now. Loving that I am weaning myself from this sometimes painful reliance of the numbers. My dress sizes gives a much happier experience!

Need some motivation...... Feeling defeated

Getting sooo saggy! My poor skin!

I have been invited to speak at a Bariatric seminar tomorrow..I am so excited!
