So I am horrible with posting. But it's a year later so why not. I am down 142lbs in total. It's kinda weird. almost seems like a dream. I remember before always putting off life, by saying "when i lose weight I'm gonna do this, when Iose weight I am gonna do that." it's funny to not have that gaurd to hide behind. I have done a lot of great things over the past year. I have gone white water rafting! ran a whole mile. rode on an airplane without a seatbealt extender. I went from wearing a 5x shirt to an xl.  I actually forget how much i have lost. but when i look at the pictures side by side I can see the change. I still have about 50lbs to go though. I have slowed down a lot, and I have fell back a little on my exercising and eating, so I got to keep at it. anyways! thanks for all of the encouragement and wisdom that has been shared on this board. I couldn't have mad it this far without you guys.  Check out the new pics I added!  thanks again. and be blessed.

So I was speaking to one of my friends a few days ago, and he preposed that we run a 5k this summer.  That never was a goal or dream of mine before, but when he brought up the idea I jumped on it right away.  Let's just hope I am ready by this summer.  I started "training" yesterday.  usually I walk briskly on the tredmill for about 45 min. well yesterday I walked for 40 min and ran for 5. I haven't really "ran" since high school. so I felt good afterwards.  Lets just hope I can keep up the good work.

As of today I am 298! First time under 300 since High School. I am so excited. I went on a flight this weekend and didn't need a seat belt extender.  Little victiories like that make this journey worthwhile!

Well I am at 304. 5 lbs shy of being under 300! I cannot wait! I havent been under 300 since high school so I am pretty excited to say the least. Weight loss has slowed down, but I am pressing on. Oh yeah I forgot. I can shop at Old Navy! They go up to a 3x. I started at 5x and now I fit a 3x with ease, I probabally can wear a 2 x but I don't want my mitties to show! :)

2 months out 60lbs gone.... not sure if that's enough though.

Day of surgery 387
today 327

Well tomorrow is d day.  and I am in full panic mode. It may also be because I haven't been able to eat all day and have a bit of a headache, but I know that this is the best decision that I could make for myself. and I know that I will come through this thing with flying colors. See you guys on the other side.

Well my big day is almost here and I would be being dishonest if I were to say I wasn't feeling a little nervous. But I am staying positive.  The one thing I can wait to do. Is walk into a normal store and be able to buy clothes off the rack! One day soon I hope.
