11 Months today. Wow. Let’s hit those stats: Starting weight 251 Surgery day weight 238.8 Weight today – 182 Total loss – 69lbs I don’t know where to begin so I am just going to ramble on and see where I wind up. I am coming up on one year and I am very happy with my progress. 69lbs is pretty fucking nifty. Did I think I’d be further along, sure but did I ever really think I’d get “here”? Honestly, no. I mean I hoped that I did but I still look at the # on the scale and find it hard to believe that it’s correct. I still try on clothes that are too big for me when I am shopping. Yet it is and that just thrills me to bits!!! I am not done or completed yet. I will continue to work and make the effort. It’s not easy and I am ok with that. I am willing to put in the work and the effort. There are certainly days when I want a cupcake (and I mean a good one) but I’ll physically feel like shit and the thrill certainly doesn’t last as long as I’d like it to. So I seek my thrills elsewhere. I am happy to be back to yoga, it’s been awhile. That stupid car accident threw me for a bit of a loop and although I’d love to be hitting the weights I know right now just isn’t the best time for that. Instead I have been doing 90 minutes of Vinyasa twice a week, walking a lot (I mean really a lot, my son and I play Pokémon Go) and I am going to go back to my squat/ab challenge tonight. I really want to push myself to hit my surgeon’s first goal which is 175. I am only 7 lbs away. What I’d really like to do is blow PAST that but all I can do is try. What frustrates me at 11 months out? That my BMI is 32.2 and I am still considered “obese”. What the fuck!!! LOL. But I realize that it’s obese for “me” and my height and where I am now and where I will be. I realize I didn’t think this was ever going to be a quick fix. I realize that I am more than halfway to my goal. Here’s to next month…holy crap 1 year surgiversary here I come!!!!

almost 10 months out, still losing...slowly but losing! hope everyone is doing GREAT!!!

I am still here! hanging in there! slow and steady!! how about you?

I am having a tough time seeing the image, can you post the direct link to pinterest? thanks!!!

Slow loser here too. I try not to get discouraged or get in my own head too much. I remind myself that the weight didn't show up overnight and neither will the loss. It is just nice to know that I am not the only one!
