I've completely forgotten how to update my weight loss ticker. Can anyone give me a hand??  Thanks.

Hello from the other side (I couldn't help it!).  As of this morning and 10 month and 7 days later, I've lost 100 lbs. I had to step on the scale twice this morning and scared my dog yelling and hopping around celebrating. The first pic in the hat and

I am a few days shy of my 7 month surgery date (4/8/15) and I've lost 85 lbs. so far - WHOO-HOO! I've stopped running away from cameras but when I see the picture of myself, I just can't wrap my head around that it's me. I still feel (in my head) tha

I'm almost 5 months out from RNY (4/8/15) and was on a *!@$&#! 3 week stall.  I've bounced from 180 to 183.4 and back for 3 weeks. I have to admit that I was kind of freaking out thinking 'this is it - this is all I'm going to lose.'  I've been drinkin

I'm 4 months out and my period is MIA and my hair is falling out. REALLY???  I've been deactivated so I can't have any more children so that's not an issue and I've worn wigs for years because of alopecia so I can deal with the hair loss thing. I'm gue

I stopped into Safeway the other evening to grab an iced nonfat latte from Starbucks and they had these little packages of Moon Cheese in a basket. OMG - my new favorite snack.  They're a little high on the sodium so I limit to one serving a day, but D

After my very first appointment with the surgeon and nutritionist in October 2014 and started my weight loss journey, I made a promise to myself that when I lost at least 50 lbs. I'd buy myself something really awesome.  Had RNY on 4/8/15 and so far, I

As of today, I am three months post RNY (4/8/15) and I've lost a whopping 65 lbs. total (11 lbs pre-surgery and 54 post). Holy smokes!  My blood pressure is now 130/80 without meds, my diabetes is in remission, no more sleep apnea, my knees no longer h

I just checked the BMI calculator and now I'm considered "obese" instead of morbidly obese. Whoo-hoo!  I had to laugh - it's seems like such a backhanded complement.  You're fat, but not that fat.  LOL 

Sunday afternoon, my mom lost her 3 year battle with metastatic colon cancer. It's been a very difficult week with lots of stress and tears.  We are so relieved that mom is no longer suffering and is finally at peace. This morning was my first quiet mo

I did my weekly weigh in this morning and nearly fainted - I am 202.3 this morning and so close to ONEDERLAND I can nearly taste it! I am only two months out from my surgery and can't believe how quickly I'm melting.  Most of it is great - my clothes a

This morning I am 7 weeks out since RNY and a total of 40 lbs. down since my 2 week pre-op diet (11 lbs.) and surgery (29 lbs.) AND I'm 7 only lbs. away from the one-hundred club!  OMG!!! Did the happy dance this morning when I did my weekly weigh in.

And as I was driving into work this morning, being almost 6 weeks out from my surgery date, I was feeling all self assured and cocky that I haven't had any of the dreaded foamies or issues with food getting stuck or anything like that.  So today, the g

I'm about 28 days out since my surgery on 4/8. I woke up this morning, got ready for work and MY STOMACH GROWLED.  WTH?  Are these the nerves that I hear about waking up from the surgery?  As I'm sitting here, it's gurgling like it needs to be fed - it

Since beginning my WLS journey (3/24/15) and RNY (4/8/15), I've lost a whopping 34 lbs (252 to 218)!  I wore a super cute dress and heels this morning  - I haven't been able to wear this dress in YEARS.  As I was walking into the office, this really cu

I work for a law firm and everyone here LOVES to eat and drink (emphasis on drink).  Today, to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we had a Cinco de Uno pot luck.  I've been back to work one week and am 23 days out from my RNY so I was seriously sweating what I'd

I've been DYING for some almond butter.  Yesterday I went to Whole Foods, Sprouts and even Walmart in my search for almond butter or cashew butter. I found tons but all of them have sugar, pure cane sugar or some other creative name for sugar as the se
