I hit the 170's today!! I am so excited. I am only 3 pounds away from weighing less than my husband! That's been a secret goal of mine for awhile now. He has no idea what I actually weigh so I can't share with him.

Onward and downward!

:confused:

Yeah! doing the happy dance!! Dance_revamp_by_Droneguard.gif

Tammi-- Congratulations! What a fun goal...I'm another one that wants to weigh less than my husband. I'll have to check with him. I think I might be there. I'd forgotten about that and since you brought it up, I will have to see.

L2L- Girl, where have you been??? You back on track? Logging food? I haven't officially started back on track myself. Still have company and can't seem to get into a new routine.

Brandy-- You are amazing. I'm so proud of you. Your happiness is coming out in your posts! {{{hugs}}}

CC-- Glad you're feeling better!

Bea--Good info. Thanks for sharing all of that.

So I got a new job for my birthday!!!! I'm so excited. I am getting a raise and a whole new position. I interviewed in December and on Tuesday this week I got the call!! Woo Hoo!!! And then today, I lost 2 pounds. I am only 1 pound away from a major goal/victory! Onederland is only one stinking pound away. Just one! But tonight I shall dine. On cake. chocolate cake to be exact, with Margaritas. I'm celebrating! hee hee

Thanks Carol! I am super happy. I havent been 195 in forever haha... Well atleast 10 years. I have my Hawaii vacation in just a few weeks I am aiming for 80lbs lost by then and to be in the 180's thats huge to me as well. Every pound right now just gives me so much more motivation.

CONGRATS on your new job!

Brandy - what a great blog you have...that takes some dedication.

Turler - new job? I missed the post..... Congrats to you! I started a new job at the end of October. A CPA firm. Am having such a good time getting settled in. The staff is wonderful. I feel very blessed. Hope everything is going great for you!!

Tambo - I want to weigh less than my husband. He is a solid 180 so it is still a while off yet.............I am about 1/2 inch taller than him in flat feet so it would be good to be smaller around......since I can't do anything about the height.

Down 2 lbs since I last posted. TOM makes me not want to exercise but I have to work through it!!

All you gals are an inspiration!!! 8-)

Thats fantastic Carol!! I knew you could do it :thumbdown:

It won't take long and you'll be at goal.

Thanks Ngirl about my blog. It's not very much work at all. I don't post as much as I really could/should though. I only work 4 days a week and I usually do it from there haha.

Congrats on making it to Onederland!!! Way to go. When you all meet your goals, it motivates me to keep going. My husband and I are hitting the gym again tonight (took a month off for the holidays). I've been doing the 20 minute area specific Pilates DVD's, but am anxious to lift weights again.

I wish everybody a happy week!

      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!!
