I feel so much better and havr energy. I am having problems with haor lose luckily mines thick so ican afford to lose some its nice to be able to shop in the regular size went from 26 to 16 as pf now

I just got the call from my spine surgeons office. After meeting with his partners they decided my back issue is a definite surgical problem and will be doing the surgery on December 12. I should lose more weight by then which will help both them and me. I am very happy that it is scheduled and is going to happen so I dont have to live this way forever! Not looking forward to ths surgery and recovery but the thought of being pain free makes it all worth it. So glad I had the bypass and lost the weight so this could finally happen!

I want to be in the 150s by a year out.....I'm 208 at five months out, so I think I can do it!

Oops forgot to change my weight loss on my signature. .hey its only a pound but I need every one I can get lol

I started my weight loss journey at 360 and so far I've lost 50 pounds pre op. I was denied by insurance and I appealed it, and on Wednesday I found out that my appeal worked and was approved for the surgery. I go in for the pre op September 10th and could be having surgery that week or the next week. Nervous, and scared, but I know I can do this, and be able to live longer and be more health and not have to have so many issues with my chronic back pain and other medical issues

Happy birthday Dorian!
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have been feeling a little better today. Still laying around in bed but hopefully be up and moving tomorrow. Ended up with all kinds of medication and I was so proud to not be taking hardly anything after surgery so that kinda sucks.
My whole family has been eating waaaayyy healthier. No sodas or Snacks in the house except fruits and veggies, diet Decaf tea and some not-so-bad crackers. The kids are loving the fruit and veggies. My hubby has lost about 15lbs in the last couple of weeks. He is doing a weight loss challenge at work. Of course my inlaws do not understand how I am losing all this weight, they don't know about my surgery and think I'm on drugs. LMAO! They freaked out when my hubby turned down his Moms fried potatoes and spam. I was super impressed. Hope this lasts, it makes it easier.

Huge milestone for me last night lol...I got out of the shower dried off and decided to see how much further I had before I could wrap the towel around me and it actually close and it already does!!!! I haven't been able to do that since before I got pregnant 3yrs ago !!! I always just dry off and get dressed and don't even try or when I go swimming i just hold the towel in front of me because I don't want to be embarrassed that it won't reach around but now it does and I'm pretty excited haha I know some may not get it but its little things like this that make me feel like I'm on my way!

My husband and I have been married for 17 years. We married at age 26, and he had lived in his own for 8 years. We both work full time. When we first got married I did everything. But then his job was cut and he spent the next three years on and off work. During the time he wasn't working he did everything. Now, jobs are stable. But I still do all the cooking and he cleans up after. He does the laundry and we hired a cleaning person so we don't have to do that in the little spare time we have. Works perfectly. He is my biggest supporter. He now calls me skinny Minnie. He makes me feel beautiful every day.

My 1st goal is to be down to my wedding day weight by my 12th wedding anniversary which is September 29th. I am pretty sure I am gonna make it. I am at 207 now. I was 199 when I got married. I was 269 on day of surgery which was 5/16/2013. High weight was 279.

My current goal is that I want to be down 200lbs by my birthday, in January.
I will be 22, Down 200lbs, and in the 200's.
I have 82.9 lbs to lose in little over 4 months.

I have 7kids so im super active now I cancel my cable and walk everyday sometimes I ride my bike to the park which is 14 miles away
This is me and my 14 year old today I steal her cloths now
