  1. Celebrated 1 year post op on December 20th. Down 152 pounds! Life is GOOD!

  2. One year ago today, I started my pre op diet to prepare for surgery1

  3. And, just when the caterpillar thought it's life was over, it turned into a butterfly<3

  4. Ugh :( I missed my appointment to have my POST OP photo taken. I'm totally bummed. My boss said we could leave when the last student left each day this week. Yesterday we had a kid until almost 4:00. And, today they all manage to leave on time and she calls a staff meeting :(

  5. Only 27 more pounds until I reach goal. WOW!

  6. Today hubby and I were taking a walk so I could experiment with my new camera. And, out of know where (and after an extended silence) he says to me "Do you realize there's now 70 pounds between us?!" Ok, so I didn't know what to say. I had gotten so used to being the one who weighed more..... But, I was just happy to hear him acknowledge my progress in a positive way in comparison to his weight!

  7. As of this morning's weigh in... I am just OVERWEIGHT! Goodbye being Obese!!

  8. finally got around to submitting my patient story to my surgeon's team. :) If it was up to me I would of waited until I met goal instead of submitting while I'm a work in progress! But, only 29 pounds until I hit GOAL!

  9. Congratulations on being half way to goal! That is so awesome

  10. one of my newer students (who has only seen me as I am now) was giving me a hard time about eating some candy claiming I should eat healthier! I was telling him that I DO eat better than I used to. Explaining that I don't drink soda, limit the candy/salt intake, etc. I showed him an old school photo of me, and he couldn't believe it was me. He kept looking at the picture, looking at me... and vice versa. Finally he said "That IS you I can tell with your eyes! Wow, You REAL...

  11. is going to run a little inside while listening to it rain. AWESOME!

  12. had a great first day back with the kids. I walked into a classroom and one of my students who I haven't seen since June was SHOCKED! He stated loudly OMG! And, the entire class was looking at me. Later on he was trying to hint around and ask questions.. I told him as long as we talked appropriately, we could discuss...

  13. has learned that she GREATLY benefits from a routine. Because of that she is looking forward to returning to work. However, the last two days have been closed due to Irene... =/

  14. Hey thank you! I would suggest drinking more water. Do you food track? How often are you working out?! Love your new picture!

  15. decided to give food tracking a try. Today is a good day :)

  16. has 36 pounds left until reaching goal... Wow, this IS real.

  17. ended up going on vacation for a few days... was afraid I'd gain weight since I really didn't make the best food choices. But, it looks like I'm still down a pound or two. :)

  18. is bummed. :( Had to decide if she should go on vacation like planned, or stay home to recover. Unfortunately, I think staying home is the best idea right now! Boo! :(

  19. had her gallbladder surgery yesterday. Definitely in more pain TODAY then yesterday :(

  20. is 13 pounds away from just being "overweight" WOW! Only 42 pounds left in the "losing" part of this journey... then, onto the next phase!

  21. is waiting for her surgeon to call her back =/ concerned my gallbladder may be going to crap.

  22. Yesterday, two of my female students who I haven't seen since returning to school for ESY... noticed my hair, and started to make comments. But, they both noticed something "different" It was quite comical. Neither could figure it out and it was really bothering them. Later in the day, on of them came back to me and said "you look very pretty" and then the other one seen me during fun activity and asked if I had been exercising more. These kids have been so sweet throughout my journey.

  23. While I missed my 4th of July goal by only a few pounds... I did manage to come AWFULLY close and I'm thankful for the 23 pounds I did lose while working towards my goal. Today also brings me to a total loss of 120 pounds!♥ Only 47 more to go!

  24. feels accomplished. Today meant Day 1 of the new plan! And, WOW! I did it! Reached water intake goals... took vitamins.... completed c25k, did some extra exercise ! :) And met my goal of 10,000 steps! Such a good feeling! Now, it's off to bed!

  25. decided it's time to switch things up! I have a plan... and I'm going to stick to it! =)
