  1. My weight loss has now eclipsed my current weight.  I have lost 199 pounds and weigh 198 pounds.  One more pound until I have lost an even 200 pounds, and only 18 pounds until goal!

      Thanks! I am hoping to get to 180 by Labor Day, but we'll see. I know it will be glacial from here on out, but that's okay. I'm pretty happy with where I am, but I want to get to the normal BMI in case insurance does something freaky over the next few years...

  2. Day 11 pre-op:

    Another busy day. My baby girl turned 4 today. Had her party today as well. Didn't want to do it on the weekend...way too busy at those kid pizza places. Anyway, forgot about water during the party, I'm parched. Will need to get better at that (being super busy and drinking water). I ate a salad with the most ridiculous amount of grilled chicken on it. I even questioned the oz. Hmm....? 

    Anyway, had appt with the surgeon yesterday and my post op directions. All is well. Labs were perfect. Took a mini test, he said I got a 100 and there was nothing to school me on. Nut went over post op directions. Main keys are:

    1) eat when you're hungry. 2) water, water, water  3) get protein in 

    no counting calories, etc  good! I have to learn to listen to my body, as I've always known that's the way for me. It's what I used to do at my healthy weight, so I know I can and will do it again. 

    Three more days of pre-op. The end is near to the beginning of another chapter.

  3. I got my biopsy results back today. I am so thrilled to be able to tell you all the biopsy is benign. Thank the Lord o:) there is NO Cancer. Now I go back to the breast surgeon, get insurance approval again and go to the Plastic Surgeon to get these hugmongous breast and excess skin off my chest. Who knows maybe it will even help my back so I can walk again without the back surgery 

  4. Hubby, myself and my 5 new bikini's are off to Boa Vista, Cape Verde  (just off South Africa). Will be nice to get away from the cold English weather we are having right now... see you on the flip side ;)

  5. Do I have the WORLD'S FASTEST APPROVAL or what? Paperwork was submitted yesterday, and I received my approval today before 11am.  You're saying WHAT!? :D

    I go in for my pre-op paperwork on Monday, May 1st.  Surgery is May 15th.

    Sooo excited!

     

  6. I'm off to Jackson, Wyoming.  In 11 years of work travel, I can say that this will be my first visit to Wyoming.  Should be an interesting few days...

  7. Tomorrow will be three weeks since my band removal.  So far i've managed to maintain my weight and even went down a pound or two.  So far so good.

    This weekend is a big one....  I'm flying to Ga to meet Tim's family.  I was supposed to go the weekend of the 24th... but the emergency band removal killed that.  So we are going for Easter.  i'm a bit nervous.... apparently his mom likes none of her daughter in laws and never liked any of Tim's gf's or his wife of 21 years.....

    So ya'll pray for me... hehe

    i'll update on Monday

    have a Happy Easter Everyone

      That was a very nice thing to do! I know meeting the family of significant others can be a daunting experience, but it sounds like you are up to the challenge!

  13. As of today my BMI is in the 'Overweight' category instead of 'Obese', at 29.9.  Woohoo!

  14. My friends husband killed himself last night. He leaves a 4 and 6 year old and a lovely wife. You never ever know whats going on in someones head. Just hug the person you are with, tell them how much you love and support them no matter what and be grateful for having them in your life. I'm sat here crying, I could bloody throttle him for doing this but also know how low he reached. I have hit the gin and tonic again. I don't mean to be a drama queen but fuck.... 

  15. found a new place to shop.... (well when someone else is buying .... lol)  Chico's....  according to THEIR sizing... im a Double zero..... no matter that a 00 is 3-4.... the tag says....00.... hehehehe

      Carnival about killed me this year. But it was a blast. And now I happily put alcohol back on the shelf for a little while so I can push toward getting these last 40 pounds or so off!

  20. I'm three weeks out, and I've hit my first stall. I didn't think it would happen so quickly, but I just saw someone referring to it as "the three-week stall", so I guess I'm on target. :unsure:

  21. We are back from a week in London and Paris.  I am now engaged to my long-time partner, which is super exciting.  And, to boot, I lost 4 pounds on the trip, even though I had more wine than I probably should have had.  (Nothing food off plan though!)  This journey is so intriguing!

      The super krewes are the big ones (Endymion, Zulu, Rex), but some of my favorites are the smaller ones like Chewbacchus, Druids, Nyx, Muses, etc.  And I only mean small in relative terms; they are quite the production!

      Thanks!!  I took 12 Premier Protein shakes over with me, so they helped a lot.  Other than that, I mostly ate meat and cheese.  On alcohol days (which was 5 of the 7 days), I tried to keep the calories from food lower to accommodate the alcohol calories.  I hate having to do that, but the protein shakes help me get my protein goal even when I eat less.

      Make sure you do let me know when you are headed to NOLA and we can definitely meet up for a drink.  And, yes!!  That's my plan for Valentine's Day night.  About time after 8 years together! :-)

  25. I truly never, even in my wildest dreams, believed I could get to my goal weight. I truly never even had a glimmer of hope that I could one day have a healthy relationship with food, a healthy self-image, hope for my future. But here I am. How in the world did I get so incredibly, unbelievably lucky?
