Hello everyone! Just stopping by to say hello, hope you are all well!❤

How much closer can I get??haha I weigh 152.2 this morning which means I've lost 99.8 pounds....and on top of that I'm only 2.2 pounds away from meeting my goal. I never thought I'd get here this quickly!.....just a little over 6.5 months!!!

Happy Saturday everyone! I finally got into the 150's this morning...150.8! So I'm down 92.2 pounds now with only 9.8 to go to my goal weight!! This is awesome!

Hurricane Matthew! I'm in Jacksonville, FL and worried! Luckily I'm about 30 miles inland so that should help. However, I'm worried about all the Oak trees that hang over my house!!! eeeekkkk!!

I stepped onto the scales this morning and finally reached the milestone that I was begining to think would never come-ONEDERLAND! Do I have loose, saggy skin? You bet! But I would take that any day of the week over fat filled skin. There is a surgery to help correct that just like there was a surgery to help me get to where I am today. To finally see that number makes me feel even more determined to reach my goal and to maintain that for the rest of my life. So very grateful for my sleeve! Happy Monday everyone:)

So getting rid of 72 pounds feels GREAT!!!....I've loved being able to do things I haven't been able to do is so long....walking my literal butt off .....However, my knees are letting me know I've lost my mind with the jogging that I've tried....my knees are KILLING me right now!!!

Spent yesterday in the ER. Incision is open, weeping and infected. Sometimes I just shake my head about what some people think is all mighty important...

Finally broke out of the 190's...189.8 today! Down 62.2! Yay me! Everyone have a great weekend!

So, I've proven myself right! I've been eating nuts since I was cleared to do so....but knew it was a slippery slope for me because I love love love nuts. For about 5 weeks eating nuts I averaged about 1.7 pounds lost per week......but I knew I eating too many nuts! This last week I stopped with the nuts and lost 3.2 pounds.....This is good information to have! I need to work on controlling my portion sizes because I don't want to not ever be able to have them.....but I think for now I'll keep myself in "timeout" from nuts for a while....3.2 pounds in a week feels better than nuts taste!!!

I have walked 23,662 steps today!!!

Home for skin surgery with four drains, powerful narcotics and more pain than I thought was possible. Was it worth it? Time will tell. I want to thank you all for the good wishes and prayers. I am humbled by your concern and compassion. God Bless you ALL.

I added a new picture showing off my new hair cut!

Surgery tomorrow at 8:30am. "If I die before I wake, a date with John I will surely make". I am ready...

Yes indeed! I just fit into one of my old size 14 capri's.....The day of surgery I wore a size 22 to the hospital...Not too bad for less than 3 months!!!

My surgery was May 16th and as of this morning I'm half way to goal!!! 56 pounds lost, 56 pounds to go!!

So this morning the scale says 200 lbs exactly....Yes I'm an everyday weigher....and most of the time I don't let the scale frustrate me....but today I'm FRUSTRATED!!! Come on already!!!
