HOW LONG IT TOOK AND WHERE I STARTED-

I started in November 2017, my appointments went quickly. I was held back by not doing well enough in nutrition classes. My surgery is scheduled for July 25, 2018. That's 8 months of waiting.

This year after losing 67lbs I felt confident enough to make our first Christmas card. ?

Having a little fun with my new face on thanksgiving!

Hey everyone! I always post the good and the bad. So I’ve been stalled for nine days. But I feel like it’s about to break. I’ve continued working out and have resisted some very tempting extra calories here and there. So, hopefully I will have a weight loss post soon. My hair isn’t as bad anymore and I’m taking my vitamins regularly. I get in 3-5 16 ounce bottle of water a day. Not as much as I should. Also, I’ve been able to eat slightly more and have found some foods to be slider foods that are even high in protein. So, I’m trying to navigate this for long term weight loss. My goal is to be baby ready by June/July. ?

So, I haven’t lost any additional weight this week. But my fingers are smaller and a few other places. I need to do some measurements. But here is a selfie because my face keeps looking thinner!

Did my measurements, lost 4 inches overall in the last month. Also non-scale victory-I fit into my bath towel completely now!

Thanks so much for keeping us updated! I loved reading through all of your updates and appreciate that you posted about your good days and bad days ? You're doing a great job!

Following!

Nothing new to report. Still at 289. Feeling fine, working out. Taking it day by day. Legs are looking good. Gym clothes fit great. Winter coat feel much better now. My husband put on my old jacket and said he couldn’t believe how big it was.

288!

285! My gym did my body composition and I have gained 12lbs of muscle! That is from just twice a week strength! Doing a hair conditioning mask for myself to relax.

Today is a great day! Thanks to working out, even though my weight is higher, I can fit these 13 dresses from when I was 265lbs. I’m still at 282 but I’m sizes down and have put on 12 lbs of muscle! Can’t wait for the next set of dresses! But I will be enjoying wearing these for now! #saveyourclothes

Hey guys! I’ve finally started cooking. My new instant pot has got me busy making healthy meals!

So, I wrote down my food Wednesday-Friday in preparation for the nutritionist. I decided today that my failure to write the other days just shows how much I need to get in check. So, I cancelled the nutritionist because they are going to say the same things they always do. BUT I have four weeks and four days until my next appointment with my surgeon. According to a chart I’ve been following I should lose up to 30 more pounds by that point. Obviously I’m not going to lose 30 pounds but I am at the minimum end of expected weight loss in a six month period for my starting weight. So, only time will tell friends. I have about four weeks and I need to get my act together! Wish me luck!
