So today my girlfriends and I went shopping for dresses for our friends services next weekend. It was an AMAZING feeling for me to pick out dresses that were 3-4 sizes smaller then what I had been wearing! I also got an awesome pair of heels to go with this new pink dress. I know my friend was guiding me in my choices today because they are all things I was going to walk away from initially.

We are all getting tattoos in her honor also. Can't wait for Friday, but Saturday can stay away for awhile. I had always thought about a tattoo but never did anything about it because of my weight. I must say, I am feeling damn good lately. I cut my hair off, bought a hot dress and "hooker heels" (not really, but they are high!), and am getting a tattoo.

Exciting things on the horizon. I might need to go dress shopping again!!

I love tattoos! I have 5 but they are all in simple places like my ankles and foot..ive been picky on where I get it because of my weight but I am using a new tattoo as a reward when I lose 100 lbs...I wanna get one on my shoulder. I never got one there because im too self conscious to wear a tank top and whats the point of a tattoo if u cant show it off right? Congrats on the dress and the new look! I cant wait til I get to the point where I can shop for smaller clothes! Reading these stories inspire me even more! What is ur tattoo going to be?

It is going to be an elephant with a pink ribbon incorporated into it. I'm super excited! I'll post a pic when it is done.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
