Hello OH, 



I am doing well and I hope that you all are doing the same. It's been a hectic couple of weeks.  I have had family in town and my sister will be here this coming weekend. I have missed a few days at the gym, but did get some exercise dancing at the club....I mean I was really dancing out there on the dance floor, not that I am a huge club person, but normally you would catch me holding up the wall.  With family comes the food and cookouts. My family is from all over Atlanta, Oklahoma, and Chicago to name a few, I did good with portion control, not that I had much of a choice. I did almost...what I like to call OVERDOSE on sherbert. I have that dumping thing bad....the smallets bit of sugar, fatty foods, or too much food and I am down for the count.  I can't wait to get back to my routine. I did manage to lose a few pounds. I am down to 175lbs, a total loss of 75lbs, which puts me at 25lbs away from my 150lbs goal. I am so happy I did this, no regrets.


Wow Moment:
I know it doesn't seem like much but, I purchased a pair of size 11/12 Apple Bottom jeans, if you know anything about the brand or jeans period they run smaller than slacks or dresses, they fit so good. I used to only be able to look at those clothes and dream , now I am leaving the dream. Shopping is fun again , I can shop at Agaci, Bloom, Body Central, and Macys, in juniors at that. Also I am outta the DD and down to a D cup how awesome is that. Glory to GOD!

Hello OH, 


I am down to 179lbs a total loss of 71lbs and made it to my goal of at or under 180lbs by the end June. I have been doing much better with the vitamins and staying in the gym. I still need to set up an appointment to get my labwork re-checked. Boyfriend is still tripping, each pound lost he seems to trip more. I haven't treated him any different or threaten to leave. Actually I treat him better, because I feel better. I wish he could just be happy for me and not focus on what I might/possibly do, and what I am doing. Enough of that. I am setting another goal for a 10lbs loss by July 23, 2008 to be at or below 169lbs. Then I will only be 10lbs away from my goal. 


Talk to you soon

I am pleased to say I am doing well with my vitmams!!! I bought my little pill case to make sure I don't forget. I have family in town, but manage to still get to the gym. I'm down to 184lbs, a total loss of 66lbs. I have two weeks until I reach 4 months post op, hopefully I will can get under 180lbs by the end of the month. I hope you all are doing good as well. 



Love Ya!

Hello OH, 


The doctors office called me today in regards to my labs.  Now mind you I haven't been doing very will with my vitamins and supplements, because of that I have even more to add to my list. They said my white blood count is low (not good thats my immune system), my potassium is low, and my vitman D. so now I have to take prescription vitamin D and potasium on top of my usual stuff...b-12, iron, calcium, multivitamins. Sigh!!!!!!! I am going straight to the pharmacy when I get off work and investing in a pill holder thingy. I have come to far to mess it all up over pills that can save/improve my life. Anywho I go back to the doctor in 3 weeks, for a follow up. I know Ima pass with flying colors.....Talk to you soon.

Hello OH, 


Today I had my 3 month post op check up. I weighed in at 190lbs (with clothes lol), a total loss of 60lbs. The doctor said I am doing extremley well with my weightloss and said at this rate I will probaly lose more than my goal which is to get to 150lbs, he said that he doesn't want me to be any smaller than 130lbs or they would have to put me on a special diet and all this. I'm like 130lb....I aint gonna ever see that again. He wasn't very happy when I told him I wasn't doing very well with the vitamins, so I have to go see the dietican next week, as well as get the results of my labwork. I told him I felt like I wasn't losing fast enough, he looked at me like I was crazy and politely said, you lose half of your goal weight in the first 3 months, which I did and more, and he also said thats when diet, exercise, and all that really come into play as weightloss may slow, but if I could lose 40 more pounds by my Febuary 25, 2009 I would be happy with that. I really feel so good about myself. I'm doing better at work, I have more energy, I smile more, I dress up ( I mean literally wear dresses). I am so thankful. Well I could gone on forever, so I will end it here. Talk to you soon 

Hello OH, 

I hope you are all doing well. I'm doing great. I'm fitting in a size 12 comfortably. I missed my 3 month check-up with Dr. Patel had to work, you know how it goes. It's scheduled for Wednesday of next week, I'm curious to know if I'm on track and what they will say health wise since I haven't been all that great with the vitamin thing. I have been keeping up with the gym. I am going through it with my boyfriend though, He is tripping big time. The more weight I lose the harder he trips. Why can't he just be happy for me? Pray for me. Lol!

Hello OH, 

I am down 56lbs and have 44lbs until I reach my goal. The weightloss has slowed a bit, but as long as I aint gaining I'm cool. LOL! I have been at the gym working out with the trainer, which has been going really well. I know I have gained some muscle and toned a bit and lost inches. I'm in a loose 14 and can squeeze into a 12. LOL! I can finally see some difference in myself. I can't believe I was 250lbs at one point, Looking at the scale seeing 194, Im like....DAMMMMN! still along way to go, but I am so thankful for what I have lost. People are asking me "what miracle diet are you on" my good friends know I had the surgery, but all them other folks get the eating right working out story. What a difference losing weight makes, I feel better, look better, and people treat me different. Weird and Sad. The World we live in. 

Today I had my first session with my personal trainer. I  have been going to the gym since before the sugery. Doing okay I thought....WRONG. He had me doing and moving muscles I haven't worked in years. This was just an intial meeting to show me around the equipment we would be using. He worked my butt out. I was skeptical about using one, but I am glad I did. I can feel the burn already. I am motivated to get moving, cause even with a trainer, my success is up to me and how hard I work.

I decided to get a personal trainer. I am doing okay at the gym, but can stand to do better. I wanna tone and not have too much hanging skin if I can avoid it. I start with Jeff the trainer on Monday, 2 days a week. I will let you all know how that goes.....Kim

Hello my OH famly, 
I am back from Chicago. I attended my boyfriends grandmother's funeral. She was a great women and deeply loved and will not be forgotten. It was nice being around family, but there is no place like home. Okay so I set a mini goal for a 10lbs lose by 4/30/08. I will tell you the food in Chicago is different then in Texas and his family eats good. I did good drank my water, did eat a couple not so good items, but did good overall. One thing about Chicago is you will walk. You dont have to drive everywhere like here so I did get a little bit of excercise in. I got the OMG face when everyone saw me, they thought I was someone else. LOL. I am back to the gym, we go back in July and I wanna look good in the summer time. So now I am down to 198lbs. A loss (so far) of 13lbs in April and a total loss of 52lbs in 2 months.
Praise God!



Wow moment:
When looking for a dress to wear to the funeral I slipped my self into a size 14.Can'tell when the last time I wore a dress, let alone a 14. I'm like what the heck, I looked and felt great. Also I finally let go of my maternity clothes. My youngest is 1 yrs old. LOL!
