75 mile bike race on Saturday! Nerves are setting in!
-
I haven't been active on this site for a bit. Been busy riding my bike!

Thanks Kathy! I have been riding to work. It's about 13 miles each way. I did it one day last week and I rode again yesterday and today. 2 in a row was rough. I may gave to space them out a bit, my motor is running on empty. I burn 2200 calories a day riding to and from work. Its about 50min each way. such a great workout.

My only regret is that I did not have my surgery sooner! #soblessed

I am 4 months post-op sleeve, down a total of 115 lbs since I started the journey. Went into a big and tall store (just to know I don't HAVE to be there) that carried the size jeans I now fit in to. I walked in and the lady there asked if I was there to shop for someone who is big and tall. I never heard that before and I almost cried and gave her a hug. Feeling AWESOME!!!

I finally had to buy new jeans. I have been wearing my 52" waist jeans the past 4.5 months since surgery. I just keep adding holes to my belt and it wraps around my side, almost to my back. Well, I noticed the other day that the pants really look bad in the back where they bunch together and I don't have a butt to fill the seat of the jeans. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, I am now a size 42" jeans. Heck yes!

I hit a milestone today that 4 months I would have never said I would have seen again.. I hit 298.4 lbs today.. UNDER 300!!! It feels amazing and is such a motivator to keep pushing myself and making myself better!

Happy New Year to All of You! I stepped on the scale this morning, hoping to have lost 100lbs since I started 4 months ago. I did it! I am actually down 102 pounds. so excited to start this Healthy New Year and a Healthy New Me!

I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Thank You, for your inspiration, your information, and willingness to help! Looking forward to starting 2016 a new person. I am proud, and you should be too, of all you have accomplished and are aspiring to accomplish in the new year ahead. You are AMAZING, and don't let anyone make you feel any less.

@jane13 - I am sorry you are going through some stuff. Best of luck with that and I am sure you will bounc back. I have been getting slightly off track as well with all of the holidays and parties. I keep reminding myself that this cannot be the new norm. I have to try to be diligent, but if I stumble, I must get back on track.

As much as I love the holidays I can't wait for it to be over and all these temptations between the office, holiday parties and even my own house to be gone. I've allowed myself to do too much grazing. Thankfully it hasn't come back to bite me in the ass on the scale. That no reason to justify it though.

A good friend killed themselves today. Sad and mad. Three kids who have to deal with this, and the loss of a sweet soul.

7 am tomorrow is my surgery , and my new way of life.

Ran 4.25 miles in 55 minutes? Yes, I did.

SO much gas. I feel like I can pop myself with a safety pin right now!

Almost there --- I have now lost 99 pounds from my all time high and am close to a normal BMI. I am just reveling in all the compliments especially from my family and friends. The loose skin is beginning to show and I have lost a moderate amount of hair - small price to pay for health and looks advantages of sleeve. I am thrilled and now looking at the long haul of maintenance. My appetite is much improved which is scarey but I am staying completely away from refined sugar which helps. I have been given an absolute miracle with this surgery and I am deeply grateful. Happy Holidays to all my friends on this forum.

That dreaded moment you are told you need to come to the trauma center to meet your spouse. It has been a rough couple of days. Hubby broke his C2 vertebrate which is right up underneath your skull. We are so blessed that he is not paralized. We spent days on the nuerology floor at our local trauma center. I didn't grab my vitamens or protien drinks (only 4 weeks post op)....I ate mushy protiens at the hosptial and took lots of walks to help with the stress. I know my vitaman levels will be a mess later this week at the dr, but I am proud of my self for not turning to food in a time where no one could blame me for doing it. Total NSV!

100 Down Today!
-
under 10lbs to go to 100lbs. gone. I need to shed just 8 more before Christmas and I will be so thrilled. (Sh!t, I'm thrilled with what I lost anyway!)
-
@goblue9280 Keep it up! Thats awesome. I am also counting from the start of my pre-op diet, as that counts as 25 pounds. Otherwise, I only lost a measly 75 pounds since surgery (I am being sarcastic, 75 lbs. is still nothing to scoff at)

9 more days until I'm looking for a seat on the Loser's Bench!
