Hit the 100lb loss!
Oct 17, 2009
I'm a terrible poster, I admit that, but now it's time to update.
We got home from vacation on Thursday night (10/15/09) and I got on the scale this morning. Lo and behold, I continued to lose weight on vacation and surpassed my 100lb mark. I still can't believe it! :)
A few observations...shoes are falling off, I had to move my car seat forward, I can put on the seat belt in one motion, no longer using the extender on my favorite necklace, traveled comfortably in an airplane-no seat belt extention needed!, can put on my shoes without having to pull my leg up on the couch to put it on and tie it, can reach the floor board in the car by bending at the waist AND see what I'm doing, my toddler's legs fit around my waist very nicely (my fav!), people tell me I'm talking years off my appearance (instead of the weight taking them off my life! :), I'm now in a size 24 jean-down from a tight 32, and on and on... ALL VERY COOL!!
I was planning on starting at a gym in November, however, it now looks like my husband is going to get laid off in the next couple of weeks. This will be a very scary time for our family with just 1 income. At least I feel like I have control of the stress eating now..

2 Week liquid Pre-Op diet
May 19, 2009
Today begins the 2 week liquid diet that Dr. Brian Lane requires before surgery. It's not going to be easy, but I know this is truly a new beginning. My daughter is 2 1/2 and last night insisted that I lay down on the floor with her to play. As I'm groaning my way down, I just thought "I can't wait until this is no longer a difficult, uncomfortable thing to do." How sad is it that getting down on the floor is such an issue?? I run around kicking a ball with her in the back yard, we walk to the park and down by the river, but just getting on the stupid floor is difficult. I'm so ready to not be so fat.
