Way to go!!!!!!! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 270 GW: 150

Yesterday I started couch to 5k .... I could actually jog the running portions. I've tried it before and couldn't get through the first running session. Last night I made it through half of them. I am going to repeat day one until I can do it completely I am just amazed! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 270 GW: 150

Just finished day 1 Couch to 5k surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 270 GW: 150

Yesterday I moved myself and 3 children with minimal help and the only time I had to sit down before we were finished was in the car! Major accomplishment! A year and a half ago when I moved I couldn't even lift a box! Yesterday I helped and I don't feel horrible this morning! AWESOME!!!!!! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 276 GW: 150

I started this journey in a tight size 28 pants. Everything was elastic waistbands and stretchy knits. Yesterday I wore a size 20 pants with a button and zipper and NO stretch at all!!!!! It has been since before my oldest daughter was born 22 years ago that I have worn that size! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 276 GW: 150

Thanks RJ! I'm planning something big to celebrate! So excited ! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 276 GW: 150

I am just 11 lbs away from loosing my first 100lbs! My mind cannot even process it! I can't remember if I posted this side by side or not but it tells the whole story! Me at my heaviest and then just last weekend. For the first time in a long time I am excited about my future! Really really excited! Oh and a friend put it together for me so the text on the side is his encouraging words. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 276 GW: 150

I stalled for 3 weeks BUT what I realized when I took my measurements is that I lost 2 inches in my waist during that time. The scale is one of several measurements of your success! Stick to the plan! Your doing great! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 280 GW: 150

I'm doing exactly what I said I would not do! Today while cooking dinner for the gam I munched and 3 hours later I still feel oh so full! I'm so mad at myself! The afternoon s the worst for me! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 280 GW: 150

Thanks RJ ! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 284 GW: 150

I painted my own toenails tonight and I didn't have to be a contortionist to do it!!!! I had totally given upon being able to do that! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 284 GW: 150

Pic on left is the morning of surgery. Pic on right is today! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 284 GW: 150

My current stats are in my signature .i've lost 51 since surgery and 81 since December when I started the process. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 284 GW: 150

I'm really struggling now that the initial weightloss shock has passed. When I look in the mirror now instead of being so excited by how great I look in ow pick it apart again and only see how much further I have to go. I'm frustrated by that. My head knows how incredible an 80 lb loss is but my eyes just aren't seeing it That frustrates me so much. surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 288 GW: 150

Mine varies a lot I just notice the more I eat the more I loose but that is a good number so sorry I have no suggestions surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 288 GW: 150

I got the best compliment this week. Someone told me I look like my sister. She is tall and slender (married to a personal trainer) AND 13 years younger! Whoot whoot! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 299 GW: 150

I have a very upset pouch today. Not sure what I did to her but geez I feel like I am back at square 1! I can't even think about drinking a protein shake without the thought of loosing it. Hmmmmm I guess it's liquids for me for a couple of days! RJ, I think you might be thinking about Laughing Cow Cheese. I love that stuff! I dip my almonds in it! surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs.
