You look wonderful! Great job, and Merry Christmas to all.

7 months and my little girl is moving like crazy. Still loosing weight everywhere but my tummy. It's like my baby is a mini bypass, lol. This surgery was the best decision ever. Because now I will have a daughter is a little under 3 months. I don't regret a thing.

Hi y'all! Christmas is almost here and we have about made it through our 1st hurdle of holidays. I got to say I'm pretty proud. I did have one mess up around thanksgiving but I severely learned my lesson! I'm quiet proud as every year I seemed to have packed on so much more weight and lost control this time of year. I don't see that happening this year! It's a huge victory. We are turning the corner from 2013 and 2014 is bringing closer our 1 year marks. Amazing!!!

Went to goodwill today to find something to wear for Christmas. Every year my sisters always dress up and I was always in old jeans and a sweatshirt, looking fat! This year I will be stylish in my size 14's! Got 2 outfits and a few extra shirts for $25. Not a bad haul!

I went out for a 32 oz porterhouse dinner before I started my liquid diet...creamed spinach, chop salad, garlic mashed potatoes...I ate it all. This seems to be a common phenomenon with many if us...the good news is I can still eat steak...just 3 oz instead of 32...still satisfying and delicious..

I went shopping and got my first pair if skinny jeans. No more mom jeans for me. Also got two smaller bras. Good for me but bad for hubby. Lol

Prayer answered! At least maybe now they can help u. It's def a step towards progress. Yay!!

I've lost 132.8 lbs and have 25.6 to go until goal. 8 months out was the 11th. I set my goal and all my Dr's agree with it since my frame size is large. Holy Balls time fly's.

Taco soup..made with 93% lean ground beef and lots of Beans good recipe, but what a sodium bomb!

Go Pack! My twins are going up for the game...a Christmas present...hope Rodgers can play!

So..medical update...I saw the head of neurosurgery at UW Wisconsin...he works in a team , so I'll be seeing a neurologist, an ENT and him. More tests, but they hope they can find a non surgical approach. Quite the difference from the other doctor who just said to live with it and sent me back to pain management. It goes to show how proactive we need to be with our health.

Been having some really good days lately! The leg pain is getting better every day! Today i did some cleaning which made me feel good. Have also been doing some shopping and getting out of the house! Weight is at 208 today which is 132 down! There is a light at the end of the tunnel for me!

Hey friends. I had the baby! Malik Robert Jordan born Mon 10/28. 7lbs5oz 20in.

You guys are awesome!

Go Eagles...beat the Bears! Lol...I'm a Packer fan!
my one size fits most clothes now actually are loose! Great feeling, isn't it?

For those of you who think they don't like quinoa, it may be that you have bought the kind that hasn't been pre-rinsed. Freshly harvested seeds are covered with a bitter substance called saponin. In nature the saponins function as a pest repellant. This coating needs to be removed, both because it is somewhat toxic, and also it is very bitter. Even when I buy "pre-rinsed" quinoa, I give it a quick rinse in a strainer. It is worth the trouble, though, because this is the only high (ish) carb food that I eat- it is a great seed and it also has Protein. I use it anywhere I would use rice, oats, etc. You can also buy quinoa flour.
This morning I made a baked custard with quinoa, eggs, milk, pear puree, and vanilla Beans. So yummy, you wouldn't believe it. It will be my Breakfast for the next 5 days, or so...

Great job so far! Keep it up! My high was 340 and now 8 months post op I'm at 212! Hope that gives you something to look forward too!

It must be the day to get the scale moving again! Today I officially broke free from the 300's and was 299.8 !!!!!!!! In the words of Dane Cook, skiddle dee dee!!!! That's right, I said skiddle dee dee!!!!

Not sure if anyone else still uses this thread. But today I weighted myself and I am down below 250 pounds. 250 was my goal all along since I weighted almost 600 pounds three years ago. Surgery was 10/3/12 and today I am 243 pounds. Day of surgery I was 427.

Just picked up some new clothes bc we are going to the Caribbean in a few days and I can't wear any of my old summer stuff! I got my shorts/shirts in a 1x! Down from 3 and 4xs! I also got a new swimsuit and went from a 32w to a 22w! My pants have gone from 30/32w to a 22w and could probably wear an 18! I'm flabbergasted! :-)

I was never boobalicious. I would consider a reperkification.

I have remote start envy...my remote start is my 17 year old son...he's really good about it.

Hello everyone!! Figured I would hop onto this thread. I had my rny on 5/14/13. I'm down a total of 105 lbs weighing in at 168! I'm actually a size 12 (loose) from a size 22 . I can't believe it. Life is so great. My hubby picked me up last Sunday twice and I wrapped my legs completely around him. Good luck everyone on your journey. I have faith in you all.

I had bypass on 4/29..at 297. Today I was 178..it seemed like there was no way I'd ever lose over 100 lbs...
