thank you char!!! i know ill make it eventually just need to get my head back in the game!

ok so after last week i was really excited, but this week just hasn't been good for me.. so here are my stats 5'7" hw: 265 gw:250 dos: 238.1 cw: 203.6 so here goes, today is week 8 for me and i only lost 3 lbs from last week.. and i know thats not really terrible except for the fact that before i left for vegas on 2-2-12 i was down to 202.1 which means i gained weight! OK OK i know.. it is definitely my own damn fault cuz i partied like a rock star in vegas.. not really eatting things that i shouldn't, but because of the alcohol.. total empty calories.. it is officially the price that i pay! I guess tho it has been buggin me because even before i left i realized that i hit a miniature stall.. and normally i don't worry if the number on the scale doesn't change a bit, because i work out so much that im sure that i gain muscle which is much more dense than fat meaning at some point yes im going to stall on the weight loss i guess i just didnt figure it would come soooo soon. Now i really need to get back on the band wagon with my workouts and cardio, so that i can break this stall that i seem to be in. On a good note tho!!!! I HAD AN AMAZING TIME IN VEGAS bought clothes, went to go see a show (beatles love w. cirque du soleil) it was freaking amazing!!!!!!! and we got vip treatment the entire trip! so thats good.. i've included some pics..

oh ladies how i love thee!!!! you all are amazing.. and honestly who needs a man when you have VST! no but seriously.. i actually don't mind being single.. have been most of my life.. im not and never have been one of those girls that needs a man to feel complete.. I have very good friends, and i love myself, and im patient so i know the right one will come around eventually. infact CATS... me and a few of my single girls are planning just that, we are gonna get all dolled up and go out! and i fully intent on making someones girl jealous! lolololol no but really is it nice to have someone special send you flowers and candy... ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY....but i also don't mind getting flowers from my best friend who loves me to pieces too.

is it just me or does being single for Valentines day SERIOUSLY SUCK?!?!?!?!?!? LOL

lol love it!!!! BOB is definitely a wonder boy! lol and i swear it only gets worse the closer it gets to valentines day!

i had the repair the same time as surgery and at first it was a little difficult to swallow but its much better now.. with the meats i found that i needed to take smaller bites, i didn't go to red meats right away, mainly stuck with chicken and fish. But you are still early out so don't worry to much it will get better. my suggestion try smaller bites to start with, especially with the denser meats.

definitely one for the bucket list..lol.. everybodys gotta try a bad boy once! they are sooooo much fun.. but you gotta make sure its the bad boy with the good heart! those are the best.

oh weee favore, you go girl!!!!! see im a sucker for tattoos i love me some bad boy with a sweet smile!

Hey everyone.. i was just wondering if there was anyone in the sac, ca area that would like to train for the tough mudder with me. it will be a great way to kick up your weightloss as well as get mentally and physically in shape.. im tellin you right now that it wont be easy but when you complete the competition you will feel so free of anything that was keeping you down before, because if you can do THIS....YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!!!!! I am shooting for the Sept 2012 competition in TAHOE.. but im willing to also recognize that i just had surgery and that i don't think i will have built up the stamina needed to compete that early so worse case senario, i start training now and wait till next year FEB to compete in the bay area. It would be really nice to start up a team and do it together, but i know not everyone has the same level of fitness ability. So if you are interested let me know.. because i am going to start training ASAP! and for those of you that just want to see the journey i will document it.. pictures and all.. and its gonna be sweat, blood and tears!

lyra-- i will keep an update of my progress..and the experience.. im pretty sure about 2 days into it i will regret it.. lol but ill keep it up. and good luck to you as well i know you will have an amazing journey! when is your surgery set for?

the training work out themselves is enough to kill ya.. lol thats awesome you should try it.. and if you get a CT team we can exchange blogs and pics that would be awesome!

Less i was in the middle of drinkin some Water when i read this and litterally spit it every where i was laughing so hard.. lol girl you are crazy!!! that was too cute.. its intense i know, but its definitely worth while... cuz when you finish the race even if its last place you will have accomplished something that only about 3% of the population could achieve. lol

click on the link at the end of my post... its basically a fitness competition... really gruiling.. it test physical mental and emotional strength and stamina

You are gonna be sooooooo happy when you accomplish that goal and i know your gonna get there quick! and its definitely a nice treat for yourself.. although i have to say.. GO WITH MIAMI!!!! LOL

thanks irene!!! it was definitely nice not to have to worry about the gym, but i know i need to crack down. and now that im back to reality.. lol but now ive actually gotta get to business cuz im gonna start training for the tough mudder.. dont you live in the sac area.. would you want to do tough mudder?

alright so here is the skinny..lol no pun intended.. my stats as of today 5'7'' hw: 265lbs gfs:250 dos:238.1 cw:202.9 gw:150 As of today I am 53 lbs from goal. I had my first post op meeting with my surgeon a few days ago everything went well.. doc said im on track and infact that i have lost something equivalent to those on bypass surgery, which i took as a good thing. She said that im healing nicely and that i can return to full workouts...YAY!!!!! THAT MADE ME HAPPY. Im gonna really start working my abs now cuz i want to have a 6 pack.. or at least something that resembles a 6 pack. So i have to admit.. lately i have been slackin on hitting the gym, but its cuz ive been really tired lately, i think a lot of it is due to the fact that i am NOT getting in my required amount of food and i keep forgetting to take my vitamins.. I know i know.. not good.. so im trying to get back on the horse and remember to take my vitamins and eat right. I am gonna keep this blog short as i decided to slice my hand open and its kind of hard to type.. but ive added progress photos for you to see! ITS A NEW YEAR!!! TIME FOR A NEW ME!

thanks everyone!... im actually a little sad with this weeks numbers, but ill get back on track!

ok so here is the deal.. went to vegas came home... gained 3 lbs.. and honestly i guess thats not terrible seeing as how i didn't really follow any type of diet while i was out there.. and obviously didnt work out at all.. and drank like a fish... PLEASE NO BODY FOLLOW MY INCREDIBLY BAD EXAMPLE... now i need to get back on track cuz i have this sneeking suspicion that i am not going to lose one more pound without some serious effort... heres why im posting.. since a week before i left i haven't lost any weight been sitting at 202, and i swear all i wanted to do was make it to onederand before my vegas trip.. obviously didnt happen.. and im not trying to write about a stall, but i am trying to find out if my last 56 lbs are gonna come off at all a little easily.. cuz dang.. thats just gonna suck.

thanks ladies! lol.. i think i was just really tired yesterday cuz i apparently wasn't thinking.. i always weigh myself in the mornin and when i weighed yesterday it was mid day after i ate.. so when i reweighed this morning i realized id only gained a pound.. which is sooooo much better than the 3, but its still a gain regardeless.. which means definitely need to get back to routine.. and since i wont be drinking a ton of alcohol i think i should be ok.. lol But either way you are right..BACK TO BASICS! and hopefully i will be be losing soon, now the next problem i have to conqeur is the fact that im about to start my period which means inevitable gain. lol ugh.. the joys of being a woman!

lmao! see this is why i love this forum...no judging..lol i ask a ridiculous question and i get awesome responses..and can i just say... i just got back from vegas today... and i swear sin city has a whole new meaning.. lol and no i didn't sleep with anyone, lol but what happens in vegas will forever remain in vegas!!!!!!!!

hey guys.. i bought about 100 dollars worth of Vitamins from the bariatic advantage site and the chewable ones makes me nauseous.. i have found that i can only tolerate the gummy stuff so now i just have all these vitamins sitting here.. im willing to just sell them at the cost it would be to ship it.. cuz i don't want to waste them so if you want them just let me know.. heres what i have chewable Calcium citrate with vit D 270 tabs chocolate flav complete multi Vitamin 180 chewable french vanilla
