10 months out
Jul 30, 2009
10 months...BLOWS my mind. I cannot believe its almost been ONE year since my surgery.
Okay updates: Im 174 so thats like 115lbs down or something like that. Im into a size 12 and loving it. I got to the gym atleast 4-5 times a week. Working out for 2.5 hours. I've been running. Working up my endurance for my final goal of a 10k by Sept. Then next year WHO KNOWS.
I still cannot see the new Karen in the mirror. Its SOOO hard not to think that Im the fattest in the room. IM NOT anymore. Im amoung the average. My husband calls me his trophy wife and LOVES to show me off. I LOVE IT TOO!!!
Even my daughter loves to show me off. She tells me all the time "Mom Im glad your not fat anymore"......yeah me too baby. 
Its still hard to accept the changes in me. I cannot wrap my head around myself. Who KNEW that I could run for almost 5 miles a day. COME ON....
I hope to stay on this high for years to come. And I never wanna take advantage of who I have become today. I've worked to damn hard.
I LOVE MY RNY......LOVE LOVE LOVE
WOW another month has gone by...
May 11, 2009
Can if really be....its been over a month since I last posted. Guess I've been out of it for awhile...to much upkeep. 
Okay soooo lets see where I've been for the past month.....I was down to 189...but gained 2 lbs ...so Im back to 191. Its killing me!!! Since I don't dump...I've gotten my hands on my #2 weakness...GUMMY BEARS.....my thinking goes likes this "well since I work out at the gym so much, I could afford this WHOLE bag of Gummybears". I wish I had surgery on my brain as well...ARGGGG.
But you know, knowing that I lost over 100lbs....Im still SOOOO proud of myself. I still wake up at 4am and hit the gym for 2 hours 4 to 5 times a week. I don't go for the treadmill in the back....Im using the ones up front with everyone else. (you know what Im talking about). My friends and family...see the difference in me all the time. Even with 2lbs gain..I still look damn good. My 14s are fitting, instead of tight on me. Im just another 40lbs still I hit my goal weight. I know Im gonna reach it. I just want to reach it NOW!!! 
My marriage is back to the normal again. I had to let go of some ugly excess baggage..and once I did that, my DH seemed to be a whole new man to me. What a wonderful present I gave myself, a saved marriage.
You know, even if I don't lose one more pound....Im just sooo happy of who I am right now. Im not that 300lb Karen who didn't want to do anything. Now Im playing with the neightbor kids....acting like a kid again. And its great. Its great to see the look on my kids face when they watch me play. I finally feel like a good parent.

Feb 02, 2009
WOW can I believe it...its been almost 1/2 a year since I had my surgery. Seems SOOO long ago. But Im down 89lbs and working out 2 hours every (almost) morning. Just seems soooo unreal to me.
I bought a pair of workout pants the other day...I bought a LARGE. Not XL, XXL or XXXL or even XXXXL. Size 12/14!!!
Im just so impressed with myself. My 5k is Feb 28th. Im getting very excited about it. In fact, this morning while running on the treadmill, I started to get all emotional. Thinking of me crossing the finish line, w/ my friends and fam. there cheering me on.
Im only 2 more pounds like I hit ONEderland. WOW to think my heaviest was 292.
Have you heard....I LOVE MY RNY!!!!
