8 months and I am only 6 lbs from my goal
Well I am now 8 months out & doing great - I can eat anything within reason - to much sugar makes me feel very tired, warm and my arms feel heavy if I eat more than 3 bites of my kids ice cream but everything else is GREAT I cant believe how good it is and I am still losing weight many times I think I ate to much and I regret it but the weight is still coming off. sometimes I see someone elses numbers and I wish I would exercise more so I would have already lost 100 pounds but I dont exercise much maybe once a week is my average honestly so I am SO lucky the skin is not very loose and the weight is coming off nicely all over! I am now in a size 10 the 12's are loose but nice
 I weigh 144 pounds I am lighter than my hubby & my son my daughter is 13 and only weighs 104 pounds so I dont think I will weigh less than her eventually she will catch up to me since she is little still - it is NOT a goal of mine to weigh less than her I just wanted to weigh less than the men in my house & I DO! everyone eats better because of my surgery and everyone lost a little weight because we eat better - we dont eat out as much as we use to and my hubby always shares his meal with me its been a nice adjustment for everyone the food related head games were tough in the beginning giving up food and having the desire to eat but i couldnt eat without throwing up in the beginning stunk but i learned and i dont over eat now I just know i can have a bite and be satisfied.now the head games are with everyone taking a double take or making nice comments and my poor hubby who I dont think makes enough comments messes with my head a little some days more than others...so I am guessing this will pass too in time??? Because I do really love my hubby and we have been through SO much together since we have been together forever I mean he was 15 & i was 17 and we had our son when he was 16 & I was 18 we have really grown up together, I have cancer which has spread and is in remission again for the 3rd time and I was morbidly obese for about 5 years and he has been by my side the entire time without ever saying anything negative about my weight! well enough about that here is how my last 8 months of weightloss have gone..... I met surgeon in August 2005 I weighed 238 pounds on the Dr Scale- I am Morbidly Obese & I am going to change that! Sept 2005 - 231 lbs on the Dr Scale oct 18, 2005 - day of surgery 225 Nov 18, 2005 - 1 month - 200 = 25 lbs gone Dec 18, 2005- 2 months - 187 = 13 more lbs gone Jan 18, 2006 - 3 months - 178 = 9 more lbs gone Feb 18, 2006 - 4 months - 175 = 3 lbs (what am i doing wrong?) march 18, 2006 5 months - 159 = 16lbs gone April 18, 2006- 6 months - 153.5 = 5.5 lbs gone May 18, 2006 7 months - 149 = 4.5 lbs gone June 18 2006 - 8 months - 144 = 5 lbs gone July 18 2006 - 9 months - Aug 18, 2006 - 10 months - Sept 18, 2006 - 11 months Oct 18, 2006 - 1 year out today - My goal is to maintain this weightloss now - If I lose more fine but I never want to weigh more than 150 again! Never weighing more than 150 again is what I will keep as my lifetime goal! This surgery has changed my life I feel GREAT I look so much better and have so much more happiness inside me! ok so some of the photos arent the best looking but it was what i have right now of before (me fat in the black swim suit) and along the way and the most recent photos my daughter took of me by our pool because she is going to visit my grandma in Minnesota and they havent seen our yard a

Heather you look great. You are a strong and giving person and my prayers are with you. Just like all the stuff you have been through before this you will see this remission through and be 3 times stronger to fight it. Even though you haven't hit the century club you are a Gold Member in my book.

It feels so good to be fit!
Wow, you are looking good. Come on over here to Tennessee, I need an exercise partner especially when the girls go back to school. We can walk and carry weights or do step aerobics. I watched my 11 year old do some work on an exercise ball today. I still don't think I'm that coordinated, but who knows when their not around to laugh, I'll give it a try.
