I have stuffed peppers in my instant pot and boy they smell good!

I have surpassed my goal and have lost half of my starting body weight

Yay!!! As of this morning I am down a total of 90 pounds! I only have 12 more pounds to go and I'm not quite 6 months post op yet!!! I'm thrilled!

Every week I log my weight and document a reward... I didnt' log a reward for the last 2 weeks although I was treated to non food rewards such as a day at the spa and a family trip to the amusement park where I was able to ride every damn thing!! Anyways I was thinking of my reward for this week and I don't think this was so much a reward as it was a NSV but I was finally able to fit into those Kenneth Cole Jeans that I told myself although their a 12, I need to be about a 8 to get in them! I'm in them!!! *Biggest smile*

I get so excited when I get close to big milestones I can't wait....haha as of today I'm down 89 pounds!! hopefully in a couple of days it'll be 90. haha I'm less than 6 months post op and only have 13 more pounds to go until I reach my goal!!!! yay!!!

I took a bath today. Like soak in the tub bath. That's the first time I have been able to do that in at least 8 years! I wouldn't want to do it every day, but it was a nice change...

Some candy just accidentally fell into my mouth.

I thought I completely went off the rails for my birthday weekend. Didn't log anything, didn't drink a single protein shake, didn't go out of my way to get protein or whatever. Ate a few things that are not on plan, but found I only wanted a couple bites of them. Down 1# after the weekend, so it must not have been too horrible. Now it's Monday and I'm back on track.

Stepped on the scale this morning. For the first time since probably about 8th grade the first number was a "1". I cried, but it was a good cry.

Today is one month post-op for me. I lost 21 pounds this month, and 120 pounds total. I still have 2 more weeks of medical leave to concentrate on this full-time. Onward!

Life is being lived!!!! Finding myself off line more and more because of it. Finding a purpose for yourself ( not talking about raising a family, etc) is not only enlightening, but exhilarating! Would love nothing more than to scream it from the rooftops.

drinking water and making sugar cookies....but not eating them!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!! I am down 85.6 pounds in just a little over 5 months post op!! I'm getting very close to having a "normal" BMI....Loving my new life!!

I really should get exercise credit for eye rolls.

Seeing my weight start with a 1 takes some getting use to, as an adult all I've seen it start with is a2, 3 or 4. This an absolute first for me as an adult. It's crazy

I don't care what anyone says... Dating is fun.... Date again last night and tonight.... Friday maybe open... so hit me up... hurry... it's going fast.. Saturday another date...

Eighty six degrees on October 20? Extended summer? I'll take it!

Shredded BBQ beef tonight, first time trying beef and it was no problem. My stomach is doing very well, I'm happy.

OMG. I hit the 60 lb gone mark today! 4 days before my 4 mth surgiversary.

I eat what I want...but what I want has changed since I began the journey...Penn Teller might say it better though:

Still waiting on this boob shrinkage everyone complains about, the more I lose the bigger they are.

Hi! Hope everyone is awesome! I have one more notch down on my bmi and will be considered overweight and not obese. Man i havent been overweight since 2002 lol. So i am very happy to go from super morbidly obese of a bmi of almost 50 to now close to 30.

Bob Dylan, hot diggity.
