Under 200!!
Apr 12, 2010
Welp, I finally did it!! I am under 200 lbs as of April 2nd!! On top of that, I finally was able to order my first JCREW bathing suit since high school! I ordered an XL out of habit and it ended up being too big.
I am so thankful, this weight loss has been such a blessing. Although I slip up here and there with my diet, I am more active and more health concious than ever. Even though I have a slip and get right back on track and don't let it discourage me like I use to.
I am 57 lbs away from goal, I'm so close I can taste it!!

22 DAY STALL.....and counting
Nov 24, 2009
Today is DAY 22 of my stall. This is getting to be a bit ridiculous. I know I haven't hit the gym as often as I should have, however, I do run 3 days a week. I guess that's not enough. I know these stalls are inevitable but it doesn't make them any less ANNOYING!! 
So not only am I at a stall but my hair is falling out at an alarming rate.......awesome. Oh well, I'm just going to keep doing what I do. I've upped my protein and water intake so hopefully that will help.
BTW....I'm running my first 5K on Thanksgiving Day. This is the same person that use to walk when coach wasn't looking during softball practice. I'm so excited!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Frustrated
Sep 01, 2009
The last two weeks have been frustrating. I've been fluctuating between 247 and 242. I don't understand. I started running two weeks ago and thought the weight would really start falling off, the exact opposite has happened! It's only week 10, I can't be stalling already can I?
Any advice? Suggestions? Is this just one of many stalls I'm going to have to deal with?
I'm pretty worried, I'm afraid of failing.

RYN - Social Suicide?
Jul 14, 2009
Today is a rough day......I work with all of my friends at the same firm and lately I've really felt left out. Since I can't go out to lunch everyday (and consume 1000 calories) they have started to not include me other things as well. I'm not longer included on the group emails, dinner dates, happy hours, etc. I figured this would happen, I just didn't think it would hurt my feelings the way it does. Once in awhile I think "was being big so bad?" 
I wish I could just be normal like everyone else and not have to worry about what goes in my mouth. I'm tired of eating lunch alone. I know it sounds insignificant and small but it bothers me. Our lunch hour is like the social highlight of the day! sounds pathetic, I know.
Oh well...this too shall pass. Just thought I would vent....

Surgery in 3 Weeks . . .
Jun 01, 2009
Having surgery is finally become real to me. I began the journey in January and have been relentless ever since. I went to weight watchers for three months, met with my primary physician several times, spent hundreds of dollars in co-pays and admin fees, and surgery is finally here! Like my dad says "If it were easy, everyone would do it." I know it will be worth it in the end and I am so excited to have a new start at life!
Since being approved for surgery I am more aware of how hard everyday activities are for me. Memorial Day weekend alone brought to my attention that I don't fit in beach chairs, I am out of breathe walking in the sand, I can't fit in carnival rides, and restaurant chairs with arms are uncomfortable. Everytime I had one of these realizations I thought "this will be the last time I sit on the beach feeling this way" or "this is the last time I worry about breaking the plastic chairs on a restaurant patio." I would have done anything to play football on the beach with my boyfriend, but I couldn't because of my weight. I would love to sit in a beach chair, but I can't because they are too low and narrow, I can't get up and out of them.
I can't wait to let this active, energetic, vibrant, 25 year old out of this prison!!
