Ok, so here I am, just over 10 months out from my MGB, I have lost 157 pounds and counting, going from 302 down to 145 as of this morning. I have gone from a size 24/26 pants and 3X tops, down to a size 6/8 pants and small tops. In many ways my life is completely different, and in some ways it is the same. I am still lazy, and a procrastinator, I just can't use the excuse of my fatness anymore, and I am finding ways to deal with it constructively. Now when I go to the gym, I get on that elliptic… Continue

I can't believe it, this morning when I woke up I was no longer obese! I just about started crying. I am 7 months out and I have lost 122.5 pounds to date. I was actually getting concerned because I am loosing at the same rate as I was in the beginning. I called Sandy in Vegas and she told me I should eat higher calorie foods, so I am going to start working on that, and have been adding in a bit more juice today. Who ever thought I would have a problem loosing too fast? Not me!

It has been many… Continue

Ok, so I haven't been on here much. Things got really busy in my life as I was preparing everything for my grandfather's big 90th birthday bash. All of the work I did for it from the invitations (making them), to the food (I catered and sourced the whole meal), the rentals (hall, dishes, decor, a/v stuff), the liquor and license, and everything else for the party. There is no way I could have had the stamina to do it all at 300 pounds. I loose weight in cycles no matter what I do. Monthly I fluc… Continue

I am not sure how and when it happened, but I am busy. Running around doing things, being active, spending fun times with friends, even cleaning up my apartment. I did a closet purge on Saturday with a friend, and I am getting rid of 3 huge trash bags full of clothes. I still have tons of clothes, as my closet was stocked with a complete wardrobe in 4 different sizes. I am fitting into most of my size 16 pants, and XL shirts, even some L shirts from H&M. As of this morning I am 230 lbs, whic… Continue

Hi, so I am six weeks out now and I think I am doing pretty good. As of today I have lost 34 lbs, which is about 22% of my excess weight. I have gone from a BMI of 50.2 down to 44.6. Yay!!!

I am feeling alright although I do have problems occasionally. I can not eat in front of the fridge, this has been an ongoing learning experience but I think I finally get it. I never really noticed it, but I guess before I used to eat food from the fridge, standing up in the kitchen. Well apparently when I… Continue
