❤ JANUARY 2019 CHALLENGE ❤



Recommended Posts

Initially my motivation For starting this process is that I was sick of being afraid and sick of being in pain all the time. Now my own progress and success motivates me as well as being a good example for my kids. We do so much more active stuff together and I love it!

Inspiration is easy to find right here on this website. We are overcoming odds that are stacked against us every single day. We rock!

Pics of my progress graph since June (surgery was in aug) and my babies ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They were huge fans of my NSV last night. Hubby still gives them piggyback rides to bed even though our 10yo is 5'3". I got to take a piggyback ride down the hall too this time! We are BUSY!

Ok I know because I'm running this challenge so I should have all my ducks in a row but nah, this is real life. You are all my motivation.

I fought the innate food laziness and moved an entire box of Protein Cookies (yes I have a whole box don't judge me) out of the way to get a packet of Salmon because I made a promise.

Thank you everyone for partying with me!!!!

Well when I failed the whole dying thing I decided if I'm going to do thing thang called life I'M GOING TO DO THIS THANG! My mind and spirit was getting some sweet slow lovin' but my body had blue balls. I had already decided I was going to do a complete turn around in my thoughts. I now have the desire to live to 100 complete with the ability to still wipe my own ass, like I've been doing since birth as I often remind my mother.

Oh yeah, I also want to look f**king sexy! Now and at 100!

Day 7 motivation / inspiration :
I love catching glimpses of my reflection in shop windows and mirrors. When I'm not expecting it, I see a totally new profile of my body and it blows my mind. So that's my Jan motivation.

Overall, I want to be a normal sized person. I've never really been one except for a few years in my teens when I did Weight Watchers and was a gym junkie. They even approached me to feature as a WW slimmer for their magazine but my body dysmorphia was so whack I couldn't accept I was not horribly obese. So I want to be normal and feel normal. (I know normal is one of those words, but I know what I mean in my head anyhow).

Day 6/7

I've turned a new leaf in the last couple of weeks and have really up-ed my fitness game and its showing. My personal trainer even joked with me asking if I have been cheating on her with another personal trainer in regards to how much I've improved lately.
All this is keeping me motivated. I'm really enjoying how my body is looking and others seems to be also ;)
I was incredibly fit about 4/5 years ago and it's nice to see that I'm on my way back to that point.

"Normal" is so overrated, hon. Trust me, you're on your way to being extraordinary!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
