I can see ....

I really can see how someone can quit a life change. I can see how that most obese people fail at losing weight and keep the fat and don't forsake it. I was really sick all last week, I am not sure if it was a virus, medication, or what but I am feeling so much better. I am glad I am back onto the horse and keep on going!!! The weight doctor said that I have lost 5 pounds of fat, but still holding onto water, but it could be anything from female problems to the temperatures outside. I am just glad I get to cross off another number on my chart of fat! I also measured myself and have lost inches and that is exciting to me! I put on my shorts from last year and they fit comfortably and this is all new and exciting...

I went bowling last week which was A LOT of fun and haven't done that in a long long time

I was able to go fishing before I got sick and was able to do that all day, a year ago I could not have ever been able to do that! how awesome is that? 

All I eat is pills

I am really struggling lately. I'm on a new medication that doesn't make me hungry. My brain disease is acting up and I'm on a million pills it seems like, I'm taking 15 a day, 15!!!!!! I am so sick and tired of being sick!!!!!! I havent really kept track of my food since Saturday afternoon, havent eaten much either, or lost anything. I hope I start feeling better soon, at least to get back out riding my bike

Circus Victory

So big news is about two weeks ago I went to the circus, and had an amazing experience! I actually was able to sit in one of the seats comfortably!!!!! I couldn't last year! I am so excited.

 This week I've seemed to gain water because I've lost inches and I'm in a size 24 now!

 I got a cool three wheel bicycle as well.

New reward system and 20 pounds lost

Ok so buying new clothes when i hit another 10 pounds isn't a great reward system for me. I am needing new clothes randomly and it's not really something that seems like a reward, at least for me. So I googled rewards and stumbled upon a forum on spark-people. I ended up deciding that for me every 10 pounds I'm going to get a new bead. So for my 1st 10 pound weight loss I got the bracelet and the second a bead. I still have a few bigger rewards like going to a concert when I hit 50 pounds but at this point, I'm doing the beads every 10 pounds so I have something to look at every day :)

Good Bye 350s

Hello 340s!!!!!
So my friend figured tonight I am loosing about 2.25 lbs a week which is awesome! I am so excited! I am losing weight steadily and not too quickly either. This exchange program really isn't bad at all! when I woke up yesterday morning and weighed in I was out of the 350s how awesome is that? I am so flipping excited. I found some new khakis at goodwill lane bryant brand with the tag on them tonight. They are still a bit small. I started out in a 32 cathrine's jean I bought a 24 this weekend they fit but are too tight to be comfy just yet, yay for all the non scale victories.

 here's one pair of khakis I found not brand new ones though

Just a cute pic of me lol

Just my cute new shoes thought I would show them off!!!

Bariatric Doctor

I just began medical weight loss a few weeks ago. I was a bit overwhelmed with being stuck at the same weight for a week or so but it seems that I have finally started losing again.  She has put me on a pretty strict exchange diet, and honestly it isn't that bad at all! I was already doing the right things and been watching my calories and things for almost 2 months so it really was not hard at all to be able to move right into this exchange system. I do not feel deprived, as you can see a lunch here in a picture. I am no longer using my fitness pal except to keep track of my weight loss and inches. I am doing the exchanges only. I have finally hit the 16lb mark so close to 70lb over all weight loss and so close to 20lbs and so close to being out of the 340s, I can taste it! Well gots to go and work out!

A good week, January is gone

Overall it's been a good week. It's officially February. I am in a size 26 pants, was the biggest at size 32. The bariatric doctor was awesome today. She seems to be the only one who has cared lately. She seems so excited! She remembered me from when I was younger. I feel in charge and life really is changing!!! I watched that 600lb life show and started a chart on my wall, it's very inspiring:)
