Hi Everyone,

Been so busy lately haven't been on much to keep up with everyone.  Great to see all the success that has been going on recently!  I am doing awesome.  Down 96lbs since pre-surgery and down 122 from my highest weight.  I went from a size 24 to a 14 and really if it were not for the skin may even be in a 12!!  I have a personal trainer that is really helping with my muscle tone, and I even run now.  A year ago I couldn't imagine stepping foot into a gym, let alone running anywhere.  Paige is doing just as well, actually down over 100lbs, going to look like Megan Fox pretty soon, if not better lol.  I met a great guy who is just knocking my socks off lol.  I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!!!!!


Kisses to all of you!!!!!!

Lost 5.8 lbs since 07/20!!

Well I am 4 1/2 monthes out and feel great physically.  Down 75 lbs, and see the progress made in the gym.  My trainer told me she can see my triceps now.  I do work out 5-6 days a week.  Tuesday I went on a two mile hike in Utah with a long distance marathon runner and an avid hiker.  Easy hike made into difficult due to snow and mud conditions...10,000 feet up with a hangover!!  I made it right along with the other two, they had to slow a bit for me, but both were impressed at me getting through it.  I know it is due to three monthes in the gym and daily on the treadmill.  So thats great, feel good about it.  The problem is lately I find myself crying for no reason, tearing up at everything all of a sudden.  My hair is almost gone in the front, that scares me, but I figure I can get a wig if need be...I wake up in the mornings feeling like I am afraid to look in the mirror, it may have all jumped back on.  I am afraid to eat because I might gain weight... So I know this is all part of the body image issue, that I may need some counseling, but is anyone else having these issues?  I should be so happy right now, my dating life is unbelieveable.  Guys are alot more responsive to me, I just feel depressed...It seems to be getting worse anymore.  Does it go away?  Could it be hormones?

Ok so maybe I am crazy, or maybe others feel the same way as me.  I can be a bit crazy at times.  When I decided to have this surgery, I planned that I would need some plastics.  Tummy and Legs.  I wasn't going to be concerned with anything else.  Well I started working out with a trainor, who is kicking my butt by the way, 8 weeks later I am starting to see definition in some areas.  I am also however starting to see skin wrinkles EVERYWHERE!!  I am single in Las Vegas, the land of the plastic barbie doll girl, so now I am getting this overwhelming sense that I will need every area of my body lifted...How do I show off saggy skin?  I know I am 44, do not want to be perfect, but I feel I may have turned my food obsession into a workout obsession.  I am not sure I want to be this type of person that is now overwhelmed by looking great.  However it is in my head all the time.  Anyone else feeling like this?

So down 6.2 since last week.  Toal is 57!  Got measured yesterday at training and am waiting to get results entered.  I was down 11 lbs since last measurement and half inch here half inch there.  Dont have the total yet since the computer was down... so have to wait!  So excited though that it is melting off again!  Key for me is working out, and limiting carbs for sure.

Wow working out makes all the differance in the world!!

So my trainor measured me last night, after 3 1/2 weeks of working out.  I lost 13 inches total. 3 each in the waist, hips and chest!  I was so excited.  I notice i will lose almost a lb a day when i work out.  So it is motivating to get me in there!!

Well it took 7 1/2 weeks, but I finally got below 250!!!!!  45.2 off since surgery sign up.  This is the lowest I have been since August of 05!!

I am so excited I just can't believe it is gone!!!!!!! I love my sleeve.  I will say there are times where I feel depressed when I can't eat more of something I love, also I have been grieving a breakup with my boyfriend of two years, and it has been really hard not having food to turn to.  Now I go to the gym, and talk to my friends.  Thanks to them for listening to me patiently drone on and on about the jerk.  It keeps me from losing my mind.  Now I just need to keep on losing and go out and get the new life I want!!!!!  I feel so much sexier, and more confidant, it is amazing :)

Almost there to be below 250!!!  My trainer has been kicking my butt!  So now I need to work on catching up with Paige :)  45lbs off.  Love my sleeve!

Finally on the losing track again.  Tracking calories and back in the Gym!!  So excited will be hitting my first goal in 2 lbs!!!
