What a journey this has been its hard to believe its been a year and a half already. I'm currently fluctuating between 184 and 180 MD whats me at 166 I'm aiming for 160 a nice round number, I'm getting married in aug so I've got alot going on made it to the gym last week three times and aiming for 4-5 this week hope everyone is doing well

Had some plastic sugery in Feb (lower bodylift) posted on the surgery board had a lot of complications but doing alot better now currently weighing 186 which is nice I go for a check up on the 20th. Hadn't been to the gym much lately due to complications but plan on returning this weekend will post new pics soon hope everyone is doing well.

Well we made it congrats to everyone who just hit there one year mark. I had my 12 month appt. today labs looked great according to the MD and I weighed in at 203.4lbs not bad huh? I'm so grateful for having this surgery and would do it all over again tomorrow if I had too. I'm suppose to be down another 20lbs before my next visit in April of 2009. My overall goal weight according to the MD is 166lbs. I definetely need to pick back up on the exercise the last two months has been rough especially since its gotten cold but no excuses right? My work schedule has been a little hectic but come Sunday things will go back to normal (if there is such a thing) and I hope to be back in the gym. I want to lose as much as I can before the plactic surgery at the begining of next year.

Well its been almost a year time went by so fast my current weight is 210 which is awesome I feel great my one year follow up is scheduled for Nov. 21st and Plastic surgery has been scheduled for Jan. 29th I'm really excited about that can't wait to post an after pic. Hope everyone is doing well.

So I know I only post once a month but I couldn't resisit I am down about another 15 lbs and couldn't wait to tell someone I weigh 215lbs can you believe that 215 ! That only puts me about 26 lbs away from my goal weight OH MY GOD!!!!!!! That is so freakin AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! 

So I had my nine month check up the MD he says he's very proud of me. Switching/changing my work out really helped my weight loss picked back up 10lbs for the month 28 lbs for the last three months and only 42 more lbs to lose before I reach my goal weight. The MD said he would make a referral to a Plastic Surgeon at my 12 month check up in November, I'm really excited about that I can't wait.

Wow didn' t realize it had been eight months I was thinking seven oh well that explains the slowed weight loss. The MD told me to expect the weight loss to slow down some but until now hadn't experienced it. I have been averaging 10 to 15pounds per month and this month I only lost 4lbs! Big difference right? It was a little disappointing but just makes me want to try harder. I have switched up my work out routine which I have been doing for the past six months. Someone told that could definetely help especially if your body has gotten use to your old routine which after six months I'm sure it has. Tomorrow I'm going to class hoping for some variation I attended one tonight too and it was pretty good, so maybe I'll see some better results next month. I'm planning on doing the walk from obesity in september can't wait hopefully that will help I weigh 241lbs now! thats a total of 140lbs lost! Awesome! I want to lose 60 more to reach a goal of 200 lost wish me success.

A friend of mine who also had this surgery a couple of years ago was telling me how the body goes in waves, as far as cravings are concerned. I knew this partially at least because I have experienced some. For instance on most days my meals are mostly protein with little to no vegtables or fruit (I did share this with my dietician during my 6month check up. She said I was fine and that my lab results were good. I do eat a lot of meat substitues though veggie nuggets and dogs and bocca burgers etc). I have also experienced sweet cravings Thank God for sugar free goodies.  Anyway today I started craving vegetables like crazy. I ate brussell sprouts three times today, I had a salad (added meat,cheese, and egg for protein) then I went out at like 9pm in my pj's on a grocery store binge, all produce cucumbers, tomatoes,onions carrots,etc. it was the weirdest ****ing thing. 

OK I couldn't wait technically my 7month surgerversary is not until tomorrow and I have been routinely weighing myself on the 21st of each month but I couldn't standit any longer. I weigh 245lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats another 15lbs down a total of 136lbs since the begining of this process I'm so freakin excited. I've lost an entire person (My God) WOW I really am speechless (which is not something that happens often, LOL) I'm so grateful I know I could not have gotten these results otherwise. I'm so close to my first goal of 189lbs. I believe I am suppose to aim for 160-170lbs according to the MDs office thats only 75lbs away from my overall goal........man that feels sooooooooooooooooo good

I'm sorry it took me so long to post these results it's almost time to post 7 month results but my six month labs were good MD was pleased with all my results and my  steady progress. I'm going to post one last picture (six months out) and then wait until I hit the 12 month mark to post a picture again so I can really get that WOW affect. I weigh in on the 20th and will post my 7 month results then
