Drop down
Apr 23, 2012
I was up a little yesterday, but dropped down into the first goal I had set before me which has been 209 for some time now. Next goal is to see 199. I am 10 pounds away. that is 10 weeks away if I loose 1 pound a week like I have been. yay I can't wait to see under 200. I hope the time goes by fast. First little goal of course will be 205. I am less the 30 lbs away from my 180 that I want to really see. Then once I hit that I will reset it for a lower goal and work for a smaller amount. Because 180 seems to be the lowest I can go when I loose weight, but I seem to give up at that weight, never have continued on, this time I will keep up the lifestyle. This is for life, not just to loose weight. Not just to get the weight off and then to go back to the way things have been to regain the weight. I can't do that ever again. So I just have to keep this lifestyle, way of eating forever. Forever is such a long word, but I can do it , so long as I keep that image of my stomach in my mind. Then I can forever do this.

up a little
Apr 22, 2012
am up a little like 1.5 pounds from the 210. Don't know why, but hope it doesn't last long. Then I will go back down. I need to go down. I have to because I can't gain weight, not now. Not when I am doing good. I have been thinking this often then I dump some more and keep it off so I won't fret to much. So will keep my
chin up, just hate seeing the scale go up for any reason at all. I am looking better, and feeling better, must keep moving to keep loosing. Not the best photo, but a photo all the same.

210, can you believe it?
Apr 20, 2012
I am just 1 lb from seeing 209, can't wait to see it. then it will be only 10 lbs to see 199. 11 lbs now to 199 is just wow, blows me away. Can't believe how well I am doing, or so I hope I am doing well....
Jaw/ teeth haven't seemed to bother me to much today. That is finally a good thing. Going to Seattle to get it or them surgically removed. I have to go there because my dentist won't touch me, all because I am on fosamax... So off to UW of Seattle to get it removed. It sucks, but at least it is getting removed. OR so I think it will be getting removed any ways...
Still am amazed that I am 1 pound away from 209. WOW!!!!

My knees
Apr 16, 2012
Or should say my knee has been acting up so stairs hasn't been much of a possibility the last few days. But still can walk the hill, and do my band exercises so as long as I can get in exercises then I am a happy person. Have to keep moving and keep building muscles so they will burn calories even while I am at rest. Now lets see with this set back if I can loose my 1 pound this week, sometimes I think that I do better doing the band exercises. So will see how it goes. Hope that I loose it, I so want to see 210 and then I will be so excited to see 209, that is my biggest goal right now is to see 209, then I will reset a goal after the 209...

211
Apr 15, 2012
WOW! I thought I was excited to see 212, it is even more exciting to see 211. Hope to continue seeing it, had me a day yesterday of consuming more calories then I wanted to consume, but it is OK, I just know that it is not the end of the weight loss, healthier life style. It isn't a matter of how long can I stick to a certain amount of calories to loose weight, but rather eating right, lower calories, exercising, and healthier choices are the keys to what I am going for. Not how fast can I dump weight so I can get back to eating whatever I want. Because eating whatever I want is junk, and junk is poison to me and has proved three times or more to bring me nothing but misery, but eating better, healthier, being thinner, exercising has proved to be the right road to go and so that is the road I am going on, and I am going on it for life.

Yesterday was such a thrill
Apr 13, 2012
Yesterday was such a thrill seeing 212 that I was dancing around off and on all day long. I am only 3 lbs away from seeing 209, getting away from the double digits, and only 13 from getting out of the 200s, it is exciting. I have come so far and so I know that I can go all the way. I am able to move more and keep moving and keep feeling good. And with those thing happening I know that I can succeed. For eating less, and moving are the two tools to success. We hear it all the time, books, doctors, tv shows, here, and so on, so with be able to do those two things then I am sure to meet my first 180 lbs.

Happy Easter
Apr 08, 2012
First I want to give my thanks, love, respect, and honor to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and thank him for all that he has done, does do, and will do. If it wasn't for him I know not where I would be at this time in my life. He has seen me through so much and so many various times in my life, the good, great, bad, and worse times, He never fails, he is always there for me and with me. Thank you Jesus, I love you.
I have not been this low since maybe 2008-2009, from records I can find I might have been in still under 200 around this time a year later in 2009, but I think I was already above 200 if I recall right, which it is a long while ago to recall. And records aren't the best. But for sure by 2010 I was ballooned up over 250. and now I am 213.5, 4.5 lbs away from seeing 209. Which I saw that in 2008 or 2009 when I was still with the clinic that I am with now. Because one of the nurses told me I was that weight back then, well it was 20 something any ways. I will find out when I reach that goal, or pass it. Of course I have to reach it with cloth on.

So Excited and nervous
Apr 05, 2012
Just learned that my Aunt Marlene is going to be getting the gastric bypass surgery soon. That will make the 4rth member counting myself in the family who has had it done, yep we have had some large members, and still do have some large ones. So I am very happy for her, but nervous at the same time as she is in her 60s or 70s, but at the weight she is at she can't do anything and can't get around, her body can't bare her weight much any more, been there so I know what it is all about. My prayers are with her as I know what she is going to go through, hopefully she won't go through it as hard as what I had it to go through and she will be in and out in the three days that it takes. I am so glad for her. I know she needs this badly. Just pray nothing happens to her, there is risks, we all know that.
Hope today I can feel a little more accomplished at getting my exercises done then I did yesterday. Just nothing seemed to go as planned yesterday as far as exercising went. Did get in a walk down and back up a hill just out back my apartment building that for a year or longer wouldn't even condsider trying to walk down it , now I do without any fear of getting back up to the top. It is such an accomplished feeling it is hard to put in words just how it makes me feel, almost like a true champ. Now to set more goals out in front of myself, such as walking alone without Annie a mile every other day and the leg bands every othere day I am not walking while still doing the stairs when my knees allow me to climb them and go down them.
Suppose I better get off of here and get some sleep, been awake since 130am and it is now 5am and I need more sleep before my 1pm appointment in the next town over.

Over the shopping for awhile I think...
Mar 31, 2012
Time to get back to the exercising that I am use to doing.... I am down in pounds, but I have only been shopping for exercises, and so I need to do it the right way I guess. Well at least I am not just sitting at home doing nothing but sitting or lying around. I having been getting moms wheel chair in and out of the trunk of the car, and then pushing her in and out and around the stores. Looking through racks trying to find a dress to wear for church and so forth. I just hope that this dress I did find isn't to much for church, to sexy, don't want or need that.
Yes yes yes, looking forward to getting back to the exercising regularly once again. I am liking it enough that I honestly miss it when I am not able to exercise the way I want to or like to.

Over the migraine
Mar 30, 2012
I am over the migraines, 2 days worth, and bad enough that i couldn't do anything for exercising, IT SUUUUUUUUUCKED. I wanted to do some so bad but I hurt to bad to.
Scales have gone up to 219.6, it could mean many things so I am not upset or stressing over it. Thinking I am at a stay again or even at a slight rise while my body looses inches and catches up to the 10 pounds I have lost then I will loose some more again. That is how it seems to go. I am loosing slow and steady, and that is fine, I am happy with that rather then gaining slow and steady, that is no good. I just have to keep loosing. Time to get myself a food scale so I can start to measure/ weigh out food on the scales, and with the online sites I have and books I have I can keep up with calories and protein that I am taking in, and make sure that I don't go over about 1500 calories. 1500 should be more then enough for me. It took work to gain this weight, eating and doing allot of it, it will take work, MORE of course to get it off, one that this time I am so much more up to.
Today I won't do to much for exercises for I will be pushing Mom around in the stores while I/ hopefully we look for a dress to wear on Easter Sunday. Plus don't want to over do it today, still worn out from the last two days of fighting the migraines so start back slow...
