Feb 2012 vs. Feb 2013

Seeing this picture from last year started the whole process of getting RNY. I didn't want my kids to grow up with memories of an unhealthy mom.

Had surgery 10/17/12 and I'm down 59lbs. Slow and steady wins the race, right? I'm gonna give myself one whole year to get to my goal weight loss of 125lbs lost. 66lbs to go.

So happy with my result so far. Went from size 20/22 to 14/16!

Awesome job! You look great! How did eating on the cruise go? Keep up the good work. Do you workout your arms. I need to do that. Starting to get bat wings. Lol.

Thanks Nicole.

Eating was good. I didn't feel like I was restricted. Ate a lot of fruit, cheese and tasted a little bit of everything. It was so hot so I wasn't in the "mood" to eat much of the time.

I didn't work out on the ship but once so I only lost 1lb during the cruise. I probably could've done more...LOL

I'm doing small weight workouts on my arms, I'm gonna eventually have to have surgery on them, they've been sagging since my teen years so there is no elasticity left.

Guess we shall see if I can help them in the meantime!
