Yvonne is NOT a bad girl.... just busy going in all directions!!

REALLY surgiversary is JULY 23!!!

Absolutely amazing!!
What is your total weight loss?  And how do you feel?

It is amazing! I can't believe it's almost a year already.

My highest ( acknowledged KNOWN weight was 288. I phrase it like that because I know I very briefly hit the low 290's... but that was at my Primary Doctor's office and their scale is always higher than home- that happened long before I seriously considered WLS) 

It shocked me. I realized that I would soon be over 300 if I didn't do SOMETHING.
However, I also knew that every time I DIETED I would have a greater weight GAIN in the end. So... I didn't diet.  I just would watch the scale and keep it under 288. Never going below 280 really just flucuating 284-288.

I had recorded 270 when I joined Obesity Help.
My starting weight at the Bariatric Center was  268.
At home morning of surgery ..........................234
October 4, 2009...... ONEDERLAND.................198.5
present........................................................140.5  LOSS to DATE: 147.5
GOAL...........................................................135- (130)

So my total final loss will be just under 160!


IT HAS ALL BEEN WORTH IT!
I FEEL GREAT. No more Blood Pressure pills. no more arthritis med -
just a tylenol now & then. 

I've done a couple of 5k's- walking. Looking forward to doing a Half-Marathon in October... not in it to win... just in it to finish!!!  

Yvonne has been my inspiration all the way!!!

Awesome!!! You are truly an inspiration!! Keep up the good work!!

You know what I did? I put my calendar in "list" mode and didn't realize it was on the wrong month.  Well I better not miss it this time!!!  I just want you to know how much you mean to me and I don't want to miss your special day my love.  Wow...I need help don't I???
hugs, Y
