1yr Checkins

Hey guys! our 1yr surgeversary is coming right up on us and I would just like to check in and see how everyone is doing. We have been super busy my way and I got to travel to Oregon and spend 10 days there with my husband and his family and we are planning to move there 1st of next year. As far as my weight I have to day lost 143lbs. and went from a size 26/28 to a 14/16. I hope to lose another 50. I am happier, healthier than EVER before. I am no longer on blood pressure medication in fact I only take 1 medication at this time but just found out I may be hypoglycemic,  Please let me know how yall are doing too.

Thant is wonderful, I am very happy for you. Happy anniversary and great job on the weight goal!  

 thank you.....congrats to your accomplishments also 

I was 233 DOS and I am now 126 and a size 2 or 4 or 0. LOL!

Either way I am amazed. : )

That is wonderful. I plan to lose more weight but even if I don't I am happier and healther that I was 1yr ago. 

I finally lost 100 lbs but I have so much excess skin. My scale says 210 but I look much smaller and wearing 14-12. I love shopping in new stores but really can't wait til I can not have to wear shape wear

Was on vacation over our surgiverary and did not have internet access, but thought of you all and how it just doesn't seem like it was just a year ago we were having our surgeries.  Spent a week with family and went on to spend a week at the beach.  For the first time in years I wore a bathing suit in public.  Still not ok with getting my picture taken in one, but at least I wasn't covered up with clothes and could get a decent sunburn.   I have lost a total of 107.4 lbs.  I am 5'11" and was a 26/28 pre-op and now in loose 18's ...and where I was in a size 12 shoe, I can now wear some 11's again!   If it weren't for the loose skin, the jeans/shirt sizes would probably be even lower.

I work out twice a week with a personal trainer and hope to amp that up now that I am getting in better shape.  My life has seemed to plan itself for me over the past year and a half and has been quite chaotic being the full time caregiver of home, kids and a disabled SIL, while husband has had to take jobs overseas.  The stress levels are at their highest peaks now and my exercise routine has been a savior!  Seems to be the ONLY thing I get to do for ME any more.   Just have to watch falling back into stress eating habits!! I am not doing horribly, just know I can always do better.

I posted some current pics on my blog/photo albums page and updated my blog as well.  Sounds like everyone is doing great and keeping on keeping on.    Glad to hear the success stories!

Just checking in... my one year was a couple of weeks ago (I'm almost always late to the party) LOL. I lost 159 in my first year. Yay! I've lost down to 210 as of this morning and hoping to hit 175 in this next year and figure out where to go from there.
