I usually try to Oder what my hubby eats cuz I really don't like eatting left overs. And for some reason I really can't handle eatting out anymore. Chinese used to be my favorite but I've tryed it twice now and it just makes me so sick. So when I eat out it usually salads with chicken.

I'm thrilled to say that with the one year coming up I've hit my goal weight. Any regrets..... No way!!! I just miss chucking down some thing to drink. That's about it :-)

Hey everybody on Fed 20th/2013 my 1 year Anniversary is coming. My starting weight was 255, surgery weight was 235 and my weight now is 130 :-) I'm so freaking proud of myself. My total weight loss is 125 pounds in total. Wohooooo . I just LOVE my SLEEVE!!!!!

You will be So happy!!! When that year comes around :-)

I'm glad you got a laugh out of it....lol. I got mine off of EBay only 78.00 and free shipping and I bought the DVD to learn OMG it's a work out for real. I think any kind of moves on a pole is sexy I just hope I don't bust my Azzzz. Last year I wasn't able to do anything for his birthday. So with my weight loss and his Bday I'm going to make it Extra special ... And you so should get a pole. Its fun have a pole party with the girl friends. And the for your Anniversary you'll be ready to party !!!

Thanks ladies. My husbands birthday is on the 23rd of this month, SOooo as a gift I bought a stripper pole. Man the work out on that bad boy . Zumba is easy compared to that. I busted my butt a couple of times....lol it's like the movie TRUE LIES . I can see my self now trying to be sexy and flying throw the room......OMG I'm hurting from laughing so hard!!!!

Just make sure you don't over due it because your only 2.5 weeks out.

I lost the first month like 25 pounds. And I did come to a stand still for awhile aswell. But it picked back up. It ended up being 11.5 pounds per month. Some months it's more than others. The first 6 months the weight flew off me. My work outs. I fast walk. Even when I'm home alone. When I'm cleaning. I go up and down the freaking basement stairs all the time. I do Zumba 3 to 4 times a week. And that's about it for now. When it gets warm again, bike rides and nature walks. I try not to over do. Because ill get board and then ill stop. When I clean the house I put fast dance music on, so I get my heart rate up. And it's actually a work out its self. And the best part is its FREE and fun. My daughter thinks I nuts. Lol. :-)

That my husband and my daughter. This year for Christmas and last year . And the other photo is of my sister and my self. This year and last year . So before and afters:-)

It feels amazing. Keep up the great work :-)

Oh yea, I totally stalled. But I put the scale away and knew that I was losing inches. But the numbers were not dropping. So I didn't weigh myself for two weeks. Meaning I stuck to the diet plan and when I finally took the leap of faith too get on the scale, too my surprise I lost over 15 pounds in 2 weeks. I think that's great results. Right now I've lost 125 pounds in 11 months. That's alittle more than 11 pounds per months and I think that's super fantastic. My daily work out is Zumba. I bought the DVD's and I love them. I get 3 things out of it. 1st I'm sweating and burning calories and toning, 2en I'm learning how to dance SUPER sexy...lol and 3rd the bed room is very interesting... I know TMI but I'm just enjoy my NEW life and QUILTY of LIFE :-)

And that's what you have to do is just LAUGH it off. Now what I did I did it in stages. So that it wasn't such a sock to me. I went from hair past the back of my bra to, shoulder length too a bob an now a pixi cut. So it was easy going and it was not to much weight on my head. Meaning you brushing it all the time, putting it in a ponytail,hot rollers, blow drying it.., and it was fun because every time I lost 15 to 20 pounds I cut my hair to go with the weight loss and new face. So my thoughts would be do it in stages. Or if your BOLD and BRAVE go all the way. I wasn't BOLD or BRAVE with my hair either :-) just remember you'll look hot either way!!!!

Girl, did it fall out... I had longgggggg hair. And around 3 to 4 months my hair was coming out in clumps. I mean we all lose like 100 strans aday but this felt like 1000's . So I slowly started cutting my hair. Shorter and shorter. Now I have the face for it. I do all my protein intake all my Vitamins. And after around 6 to 7th month it started slowing down. And now at my 10 to 11th month I'm having regrowth. My doctor told me because your body is going throw such a shock, from the surgery and the weight loss it is bond to happen. And I decide to cut it off cus I didn't want comb over. Lol. I look at it this way, I'm a sexy skinny No haired gal....lol it will come back. And the positive side is. I use less shampoo and it only takes me 5 mins for me to get my hair done. Than before it would take almost 1 hour... I love it now. One trick that my hair stylists said if you have dark hair is to lighten it. To give the allusion

Well the 3 things that I have changed in my life style is.... No fast food. Wendy's and ect.. More movement walk, dancing PLAYING.. I hate the word exercise...lol and NO late night snacking. Once you have this down it works. I also try not to eat after 6pm.. The hardest part was reprogramming my BRAIN. And from time to time I do have slip ups. Hope this helps :-)

Thank you all. I know it sounds like I'm gloating but this was work. Just because we are or have had the surgery it's not that easy. I always have to tell my self THIS IS A TOOL. But for now my train of thought is 1 day at a time. The other great this is we have each other. Major support group. I love it :-)

You will just think positive, and don't let the small bumps in the road discourage you. Cus we all have had them :-)

You look super :-) keep up the great work.

Oh you will be amazed and so In love with your NEW body. It's still kinda weird. I'm getting better now. When I went shopping like 5 months ago I would still get sizes that are to big. I would think I'm bigger than I was. My starting size was a 24 in plus size pants. And now I'm a 5/6 . Omg I'm happy a healthy. And I know that your going to love it :-)

I feel it... And thank you. If I only knew how to add a photo I would :-)

Is their a point were you might be losing to much weight?? I know that sounds really weird. I thought I would NEVER have these thoughts coming from my mouth. My weight Pre-op was 255 and now it's 129.5. And it's only been 11months on the 20th of January. I'm scared that I'm going to get to thin and look sick. I eat all the time . my calorie intake is like 1650. Is it going to level out soon????

I really wish that it was that easy, plus to stay on a healthy diet aswell is not that easy. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE the new me. But I'm scared if I lose more weight that ill look sick. My BMI is 19.6 now and I really think its to low. And I eat all day long. I mean all day long :-)

Thank you all for your for your comments. This helps me a lot :-)

The same with my husband, he's like you look great but your done now right... I tell him I'm trying. I'm not doing anything to lose weight for the past two months.. And I'm still losing yesterday I was 132 and today 129. I'm 5"7 and I went from a 24 pants size to a 5/7 I'm happy. BUT enough already.
