Well I STILL don't have my own computer up and running, but hopefully another day or two and I will be able to get on here and be as active as I was before. I sure have missed all of my AMOS buddies and especially my TMB pals! I am sure that I have missed alot!

I just wanted to give a quick update and let ya'll know that I am doing SOOOO much better with my weight loss than I could have ever dreamed! I got to go to my first German mall last week and I fit into a size 12 now!!!!! I haven't wore a 12 since 10th grade!!! What an awesome feeling! Hubby teased yesterday that I'm becoming a little vain....which has some truth to it, because wearing these jeans makes me feel DEAD SEXY!! I can't help looking at myself in every reflection I see LOL!

Anyhow hope to talk to you all again soon!

well, we are here in Spangdalhem Germany visiting some of our military friends who we keep running into :) We were all stationed in Hawaii, then they followed us to the base in Texas, and now we are following them here to Germany :) It's been a fun weekend, but I just wanted to tell ya'll the great news.........I stepped on her scale yesterday and I weigh 161 pounds now! WOO HOO! I LOVE this gift that I have been given! Just a few more pounds and I will be part of the century club for sure! Just wanted to fill anyone who cares enough to read this in! Talk to you all again soon!

Well everyone, I am officially in Germany :P WHEW it was a LOOOOONG trip trying to get here to my sweetie, but to say the least I have a feeling it's going to be worth it. It's very pretty here, so far the people (locals) are very friendly, and I have to say I ended up with a pretty nice house.....ya never know with the military what kind of place you will be living in hahahaha.

I made my goal of 170 lbs by the 14th (my 4 month anniversary) so I am now down 80 lbs which totally rocks. I am fitting into a size 14 already which is awesome because I haven't wore a size 14 since high school LOL.....I just don't know when I'll be getting my scale (my household items are not here yet) so I'm a little bummed about that.

Anyhow, I don't have my computer at home yet, so for all of you out there reading this from the TMB, I'll be back with ya'll soon I hope!

Until next time..............

Hey there ya'll :) Sorry I miss the Texas twang.....being up here with all the tree huggers is getting to me. J/K!!! I am actually having an awesome time!! I got to go up to Washington for the last few days to visit with some friends of mine who I introduced and they got married. She is from College, and he was my ex's best friend, from Hawaii. They live where I lived before I moved to Hawaii and it was kinda cool to go back and see the place I hadn't seen in over 12 years. It was such an AWESOME visit with my friends too. I am sooo thankful to have people like them in my life. She is even considering weightloss surgery and we talked about my experiences and I wish her the best in her journey if she decides to embark on it. Either way I will be there for her!! I also wanted to let everyone know of my weightloss this week. I am down to 173 :) TOO COOL! My goal for this month was to be down to 170 by the 14th (ONE MORE WEEK) so pray for me that I will make it :) talk to ya'll again soon!

Hi there!Just wanted to give a quick update and let everyone know that I am finally on my vacation and my hubby finally got to Germany yesterday. He said that it is really nice and that I will love it. I can't wait until it's time for me and the kids to go. I have to wait on my son's passport though, go back to Texas and ship the van and fly out :P I haven't had too much of a weight loss on this vacation so far, I guess that much is expected when you aren't cooking for yourself huh? I have lost about 4 lbs since the last time I updated so I am minus 70 lbs in 3 1/2 months! Down to 183 now. How awesome is that? Anyhow, I'll talk at ya'll later!

don't even get me started on the personnel at this base, but needless to say it's two days later and my computer is still here, so I thought that I would come in and change my weight loss to my anniversary date which is three months today :) I added another lb weightloss since the other day, so now I am down to 187 :) GOTTA LOVE THIS TOOL! I am leaving on vacation this afternoon though, so I will update for ya'll later!

Well, since they are coming tomorrow to take all my stuff out of my house and packing it and sending it on it's way to Germany, I thought that I should go ahead and update now since I don't know when I will get another chance to do it :)
Even though I hit a small plateau this month I still have already lost about 14 lbs (I got two more days before it's an official month :) ) which is not bad! As you can see, I am about 20 lbs from my second BIG goal which is 170 lbs. At the begining of my journey I decided to set little stepping stone goals so I wouldn't get discouraged. The first was to get under 200 and the second was 170. The third is 150! Once I get there I will have to figure out what I need to do next LOL
These past few months have had so many ups and downs I'm suprised it wasn't one huge plateau!! My granny always tells me that stress makes you retain weight LOL I wonder how true that is!
Anyhow, I will try and check in before I head off to Germany! I'll update again soon as I can!

well I got down to 194 last Thursday and I have been stuck there ever since :( I hate these stupid plateaus :( I even went to the gym this week and have actually puked twice this week already and STILL no loss :( Maybe it's because I'm sad. The best friend I have EVER had in my life is leaving me tomorrow and moving to Las Vegas. I know, I am moving to Germany in a month, but I wanted to leave first. This place SUCKS and it is really gonna suck without her :( LOVE YA HEATHER! Anyhow, that's all for now.......I'll update again soon I promise!

Well this week has been awesome for me as far as weight loss goes! On Monday I was still stuck at 204 lbs, but as of today (Sunday) I am 197!!!!! I think it's because I had a hard-core period and I was bloated for over two weeks!!! As soon as my period was done (Wednesday) I started pouring the weight out of my body :) I just wanted to share. :)

well techincally it's the 13th now (2a.m.) but I just wanted to give a quick update! I am 8 weeks out now and have a tremendous weight loss of 51 lbs! Oh how I LOVE this tool that was given to me! I am doing soooo much better with my eating now. I have finally gotten it under control with what I KNOW I can't have (and I don't even WANT anymore) and I hardly ever even WANT to eat anymore :)

I had an awesome suprise today! Andrea Dodd (Andi) and I have become good friends quickly the last few weeks, and I invited her, along with another WLS support group friend and some others to the house tonight for a potluck and to play games, just to have a fun night. Well Andi called and said she was almost to the house. I was down on the floor looking in my cupboards for my refried beans and someone walked up behind me and hugged me. I was like "WHY IS ANDI BENDING OVER TO HUG ME?" I turned to look at her, and it was MS. Teresa Romaine! Those little buggers suprised me! Teresa was my partner in crime the day of my surgery, she went under as I was recovering, and it had been awhile since I had seen her! I was thrilled! Thanks to Andi and Ms. T for the wonderful suprise and the oh so fun night!

I have one other thing I want to share! It's a total WLS moment :) The other day I was getting out of the car and my neighbor and her sister were sitting outside. I hadn't seen the sister since my surgery, and I hollared Hi to her across the street. She said hi back. Then my neighbor started laughing and said "Kay, Julie didn't recognize you!" they came running over and were checking out how big my clothes were on me! It was awesome! My clothes from last summer, which were tight, are FALLING OFF OF ME NOW! Its too cool!

Anyhow, that's all for tonight! I will update again soon!
