Hmmm....8 weeks.....ok

I'm at 277, and I'd like to get to 255 and fit into my wedding dress. B) (22 lbs. Lofty goal, I know.....but I might do it!)

WEll, as of today, I am exactly halfway to my labor day challenge weight. AND, if you saw my post, I GOT INTO THE DRESS!!! WOO HOO!!

11 more pounds to lose in 5 weeks. I think I might just be able to do it. I've lost 5 lbs in the last 5 days. It's weird.

Hi all!

SW: 164 CW: 159 GW:149

I made some progress this week. It's a surprise considering I took a week off from running because my knees were giving me problems. The rest paid off! :) I hiked Mist Trail in Yosemite on Friday. It was awesome! So much so that I'm heading back on Thursday with a couple of friends. AND this morning I ran 6.5 miles in 75 minutes. Yeah, I'm not breaking any speed records, but had a great run after a week of rest. Yay NSVs to balance out slow weight loss. :)

22# to goal..whew! I don't know if I can make this challenge or not. I have been doing WAAY too many carbs the last couple of days. That has got to go! I have upped my Protein greatly though. At least that is a step in the right direction.

I think 6.5 mile in 75 min. sounds awesome. I have a torn up knee and I do 3 miles in 60 min. So yay for you :)

I saw you in that dress...WTG!! It is soo awesome to be able to watch the clock roll backwards. It made me want to try mine on too. So, I got the hubby to help me into it Saturday night. Yes, I had to have help. That thing is huge! It has a cathedral train that filled most of our living room. Anywho..it was falling off too big. I figured it up, I weight 45# less now than I did then. I told my hubby, when I get to goal, I may have it taken-up. I would like to have some pictures made in it; so I can look like how I wish I could have then. It truly is the most beautiful dress I have ever seen.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
