I broke through the 400 mark this past week!

180 pounds gone, holy hell! 15 to go.

may we all be as happy tomorrow as we are today

It has been such a great year. I wish everyone the best for a happy and healthy holiday season.

Which should I post first? Bari-friendly eggs benedict? Or make-ahead bell pepper breakfast boats?

Posted after pics to my gallery. Tomorrow's my one year surgiversary and I'm officially one pound below goal. Will do a full forum post tomorrow.

About 40 pounds lost since surgery on 5/26 -- not sure if that's good, but I'm feeling great!

NSV - bought new slacks today, AT COSTCO! Say goodbuy CasualMaleXL. Pictured on my profile are my pants from February

Get up and brush my hair before my shower...hair in my hands...shampoo and shower...hair in my hands...blow dry hair...hair in my hands...ugh...I hate all this shedding!

Today is my 2 month surgeriversary. Down 40 pounds total!

The babies have arrived -two beautiful baby boy goats!

One pound away from being under 200 ~ It's ony a number but for me a massive goal!

Saturday was my 11 month surgeversary. I'm now 3.8 pounds from goal and I've officially lost over 100 pounds from my all-time highest weight of 270.

I bought a jacket at Macy's today in a Size Large. Large. Not 2XL, 1XL, or XL. Nice moment.

I finally did it !! Thursday 23/07/15 at 5pm, I headed down to surgery, nervous and anxious but the staff were fantastic and kept me laughing by cracking jokes and chatting about holidays etc. I can't thank them enough for that as I had told the anesthetist how nervous I would be in the pre op room and she'd obviously told the team. "Have a couple of deep breaths and", next thing I know, I wake up in recovery. Well I say wake up, I tried hard but was very sleepy so stayed in there a while and couldn't have morphine for 24 hours because of it I felt really dreadful for the first few hours but managed 2 walks and some fluids, a trip to the loo and finally some sleep. I came home yesterday, so stayed in hospital 3 nights and could have stayed longer if I had wanted but I missed the family and my animals and wanted to be in my own bed. I had two visitors in hospital (previously I had asked the few who knew not to visit apart from the two who did), other than my husband and was so glad of that, as I even found chatting tiring. I am still really tired, I know it's my body healing and I am glad for it but last night a good friend visited and after an hour I had to go back to bed lol. So today is the start of day 4, the sun is shining, I can hear my 17 year old son snoring in bed in the next bedroom and the dog is snoring right by my bed on a rug (he's very happy as he is never usually let upstairs in the house but he won't leave my side without crying). Life is good, Might have been a tough first 48 hours but it gets easier every hour and I am soooooooooo looking forward to the future. Keep smiling folks and apologies to those who wanted me to contact them earlier... I was sleeping Hugs Kate view.jpg View from my hospital room... So lovely!

Just harvested my first fully ripe ghost chili, the flavor is much better than store-bought (in small doses, of course)

Finally, the job hunt is over! Now the only problem is I have to choose which job I want... Good problems!

Waffles posted, much better than the pancakes: http://barideliciousfood.blogspot.com/2015/07/cinnamon-vanilla-waffles.html

Thank you sunlight, for helping transform water and CO2 into a zucchini. I was just weeding the garden, pulled back a leaf and found a 2 foot-long, five pound zuke. The thing is a BEAST!

Holy COW! 135 pounds makes a lot of difference. My gallery has the photo.

NSV - wearing a regular (not plus) size 16!

Made it to the 250's today, 72 pounds down and less than 100 to go!

Happy Friday!

Milestone today! Down 70 pounds!

Peanut butter is not my friend anymore :-(
