    Hi? Sorry was staying away from Internet, with all that crazy studying that I had to do. Thank God it's over.... Well, for now. On tue I should find out if I passed , and if not..... I have to do this again in Oct ;(

    Weight loss: thank you! And, I actually do not keep a good record. I mean, I have my fancy scale that logs my weight but as far as pictures go... No. I was going to, but ...... Oh, well. I do like that picture, but I don't think I look that good in real life. Not on a regular day, at least, LOL. Plus, Larry's iPhone is my best friend, it takes such good skinny pictures!!! but, seriously, I am starting a new "push" tomorrow. Vacation is in 2 weeks and I was really hoping to be under 200 pounds. Unfortunately, when I study, I eat. It doesn't matter what. I try to keep it healthy, but calories till add up. It's either that .... or I fall asleep studying, and that never gets me a good great, lol!
    Hopefully this was the last time and I will never have to use studying as my excuse, lol

    I think u look great, and I read all your posts about your daily excercise routines, that's so great! You are doing it the right way. I tend to relax , then do my next "push" trying very hard to loose 10 pounds... And relax again. I know that's not what our doctor recommended, but I feel like it works for me

    I think I am gonna try zumba! Looks like u enjoy it

    Do u still drink your protein shakes? How many calories do u get in daily?

    62! Me too! See, and you were worried!
    Well, I've been slacking the entire March and most of April. I haven't lost anything BUT I know it's not a stall. I think I was just a little too happy with all this weight gone and got this crazy idea that I was ok looking and maybe I can stop. UNTIL I saw pics from vacation..... that's a reality check I wasn't ready for..... It's probably not so bad but when I look at these pics I still see my fat self. I don't see any difference between before and after...hmmm..... I have a lot of self esteem issue (hense no pics of me on my Facebook account). I don't know how to get past that. I ve heard a lot of people straggle with that. And honestly, when I was 150 pounds I still thought I was pretty fat. Not like some crazy teenager who is absessed with herself, but more like when I look in a mirror I see a very heavy person. .. Childhood tramma, lol. I have 2 very thin sisters and I've always felt large.... Hmmm....
    Well, I ve worked hard this week and lost 5 pounds. Yeahhhh! I see that u exersise like every day, good girl!!!! I can't convince myself to do anything... Always so tired .....
    Maybe I will post some pics too.... I will try....

    MOMX2 - Thank you for stopping by my blog... You have a great smile! I am sure that if you are dropping sizes you are getting smaller... sometimes it just takes a little longer for "us" to see it in ourselves, ya know. I couldn't really tell for my first 30 or so pounds, know I can see it in myself more then before. So, it will come just keep doing all the right things...
    One step at a time, one day at a time and one pound at a time YOU will find the health and smile you are looking for!! We all will!
    I looked at your pics and noticed you had a before picture and no after picture - noe I am curious, you can't tell but I bet others can... maybe not so much people that see you everyday, but someone that hasn't seen you in a while or a stranger on here that has only seen your before picture.
    So upload a new soon ;-)
    Oh, and your babies are adorable!

    44 pounds, that' great! And it's good to set up smaller, more achievable goals. I try to get excited about every pound I loose. I also set a mini goal for the end of march ( my husband and I r going to Bahamas for a few days ) but so far not sure if I will hit that mark. I feel like I am a little too happy about loosing 50 pounds. It's kind of a pattern for me. As soon as I start thinking that I look "good enough" I fall off my diets..... and in the past that meant thAt I am on my way to gaining everything back. Hopefully, this time is different.
    Exercising sometimes is still better than not at all..... like me. I honestly don't have any energy or desire to do anything. I hope it will change. The weather is getting so nice, usually it's enough to inspire me

    Hi! Looks like you already lost 40 pounds!!! You are doing so great! I need to be a little more like you and a little less like me, lol!

    I've being taking like 10 vitamins a day... But still feel extremely tired ...can't do without naps..hmm.... I am very excited about the weight I've lost, but honestly when I look in the mirror I don't see it. I know I still have a lot to loose but even then it's most likely that I would still see myself as overweight. Some unresolved childhood issues..

    I was able to get into smaller jeans, so that's great! Otherwise, I pretty much live in my yoga pants, lol.

    So, did you get a chance to weigh in? I am sure it's going down! Did you start to exercise? I didn't .... Maybe tomorrow... Just so tired. My school started and that's always so stressful.
    Pudding, that sounds good! I need to go shopping and get myself something like that

    I love it! Much better than clear liquid... That got old fast, lol. I ve discovered i love canned soups. I buy healthy choice chicken soups or beef soups and get rid off pastas ( to lower calories). Then I just blend them. They look kinda gross.. A lot like baby food.... But they are good! And one can lasts for about a day. I am also back to my protein shakes. Overall I am doing great, BUT I can't get enough protein in. It seems impossible to have 70 g. How r u doing on proteins ?
    For "deserts" I like little baby fruit pouches. They are 100 % natural and no sugar added. About 60 calories each. Love love love
    Did you start to exercise yet? I didn't.... Feel so cold and kinda tired.... Hmmm....

    Vitamins: it's a good idea to wait, our bodies does have a good reserve of most vitamins

    Lol! Don't feel bad, I am like 6 ft tall so I loose weight fast at first.... But that stops pretty f-sat too..
    I didn't go on the scale for 2 days ... I was worried water retention would show in increase in pounds.

    I didn't try adding protein into soup.... I imagine I wouldn't like it, being my protein is chocolate, lol. I am planning on going shopping tomorrow, I have to find something I like... Hmm... I never had this problem before, I pretty much eat anything, hmmm. Now this new me is picky, picky, picky

30 Pounds to Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by MOMX2 on 04-14-2013 at 09:12 AM
I started this journey fifteen months ago needing to lose an incredible 159 pounds of fat! Since, I have been able to lose 129 pounds of the old me and surfacing is a woman who is happier and more confident in her skin than she's ever been. I love, love, love wearing dresses and skirts. I still keep me arms covered in most cases, but even those are getting better.

I never dreamed I'd be one of those girls who only has 30 pounds left to lose. I have people tell me all the time

Gall bladder surgery was Friday and a funk today!

by MOMX2 on 03-17-2013 at 09:54 AM
Usually a very positive person on this site, I woke up in a funk today. I'm hoping it is just the pain meds, lack of shower, and no exercise other than the laps around the block.

I want my control back. I want to wake up and exercise. I want to sleep at night. I don't want anymore incision pain. I don't want to be told I can't do something or to be careful. I want to eat like normal. At this point, I've been given no restrictions but I'm afraid to eat much.

Gall Bladder being removed tomorrow!

by MOMX2 on 03-14-2013 at 08:46 AM
So, I posted two weeks ago about the most horrific pain that put me in the ER for about six hours two weeks ago. Well, I met with the surgeon Tuesday and learned that I do have gall stones. I never want to experience that type of pain again so I am having my gall bladder removed tomorrow morning at 6:00 am.

Hoping my recovery is very quick and with little pain as I fly to Seattle Tuesday for a 3 day training. Wish me luck! For those experienced in this surgery (not at the same

3 scale victories this morning!!!!!!

by MOMX2 on 02-13-2013 at 01:41 PM
Ah, another great celebration of my sleeve...actually, three great victories!

Yesterday my scale read 171 pounds which I was celebrating. Today, it read 169 which is great for three reasons.....

1. I not only weigh what my driver's license says I weigh and has said for 20 years I actually weigh one pound less.
2. I am no longer serverly, morbidly obese with a BMI of 51. I am now just overweight with a BMI of 29.
3. I have lost a total of 125 pounds

My NSVs!

by MOMX2 on 02-06-2013 at 11:19 PM
I had to travel for work and had some time for shopping today. In one of my last posts, I wrote about feeling like I didn't belong in the "skinny girl" stores. Today, I not only went in but I bought. I bought way too much, but I had a great time. The old 3x--24w girl bought medium and large shirts, sweaters, suit coats, skirts, and dresses! I also bought 3 new pairs of shoes. I felt AMAZING! The last store ended with the checkout lady telling me I should go have my picture retaken
