Wow...Has it been that long since my last update??? My weight today is 144, with a BMI of 24.7... YEAH I am NORMAL. I'm still wearing a size 12. My breast have deflated from a full C to almost an A :0(
I am a few weeks past my 1 year & never made my goal of 140, but thats OK, I'll get there in another month or so....115 pounds on a year & a few weeks, isnt so bad. I have a part time job working nights at Target now, it get's my out of the house, making some exta $$ & I'm on my feet moving the whole 6 hours I'm there, so I'm getting some exercise.
I'm almost done Christmas shopping, or as done as my checking account will let me be this year. I get so stressed during this time, I wish some times it would just hurry up & get here, so I can enjoy it instead of stressing over what I can & can't afford to give my children.
Merry Christmas!!!!

I am 147 today..WOO HOO for me. It's been a great week. Yesterday I did something I wanted to do for years with my kids.... I went on a mud walk. I chaperoned my 5th graders class yesterday. A Mudd walk is where you walk thru the forrest in waist deep mud. It was nasty, the grossest thing I ever did, but I made it :0)

Hello, I made it to the 140's... I am 149 now. WOO HOO. I can fit into size 12 bottoms now & a large top. Only 9 more pounds to my personal goal. I haven't seen my surgeon for awhile, I cancelled my July appt. But I believe his goal was a 25 BMI, so I'm there.
I'm looking into going to school right now & working part time. I'm excited about that!! A year ago I would have NEVER considered this, but now I look forward to this new chapter in my life. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done for myself!!!

Hello All my OH friends,
A light has finnally came thru, hubby got another job, making a bit more, so now I can work a part time job & go back to school. ~ He starts Oct. 1st. Praise the Lord!!!
My weight is 151, it's slow, but at least it's still going down. My size varies, some 14's are too big, some 12's are tight & I tried on a size 10 dress the other day & it fit to my surprise. I look totally different that I did 10 months ago, a friend from church who hasn't seen me in over a year didn't even know who I was last night.
Last year my son had a pump it up birthday party, I was afraid to go on any of the inflatables, this year I plan on going on EVERYTHING...looking forward to that.
My 10 month anniversary post surgery is in 2 days, I will get a picture taken & update my pictures.
Thats it for now, Thanks for reading!!

Hello All,
Hubby got a job, he will start next week. It's only for 1/2 of what he made before & no insurance for 6 months, so I need to find a job w/ benfits more than ever now. Weight loss has been S L O W, but it's because I have been eating like $hit latley. It's too expensive to eat healthy with 3 kids, hubby & 3 animals to feed.
I am 152 today, I am a little over 9 months, so I still have hopes to get to my personal goal of 140 by my 1 year SugeryAnniverisary. My birthday is coming up 9-11-72, yeah...wish I was kidding, but I'm not. I don't feel like celebrating this year, feeling very depressed latley, hubby & I are fighting ; the stress is getting to both of us.

Aug. 19th...My younger brothers birthday is today. Happy Birthday Jason!!!
Things are still rough over here, I havent found a home for my pets yet. My house is looking good though, were getting close to listing it to sell.
My weight is 153 today.
I will be looking for a job next week, my kiddies all go back to school tomorrow...Wow what summer it has been. Hubby has been laid off for 5 months now..OMG it hasnt seemed that long.
I will probably go back to working as an asst. teacher...seeing that in 13 years I have only worked for a year & that was as an asst. teacher a few years ago. I am excited to go back to work but very nervous. Thanks for reading!

Things are rough right now. Hubby still hasnt found a job. Were about to list our house for sale, which means I have to find homes for our 3 beloved pets. We are going to have to move to a small rental house for awhile, so my husband can go back to school. I am going to be working & kids will be in school & then after school care. I am very emotional when it comes to my pets, so it's been a rough time. If I can't find homes for them I have to bring them to the pound & we all know what happens to most of them there.
My weight is at 155 right now, I am not eating very well right not, but stress has taken over our lives latley.
