In month 7 I had to face Christmas, New Years, My wedding anniversary, the anniversary of the adoption of my boys, selling one house and closing on another house. The month was crazy, and on top of all that I faced being past the wonderful first 6 months after surgery. That sweet time of the weight just falling off had passed. So how did I do this month? I lost 7 lbs!!!! Thats right, I lost 7 lbs in month 7! I am past my doctors goal, and just about 5 lbs from my own goal. I love the way I look. On top of losing 7 lbs, I met with my doc this month. He is over the moon with how I've done. He asked me to model for him, holding a pair of my old pants! I am so honored. I truly am happy and feel like im back to me.

Well, I didnt hit the goal of 8.8. But I did lose 6.4 lbs! So just 2.4 lbs and I will have reached my doctor's goal. The first 11 days of the month I lost less than a pound. So I was able to lose about 6 pounds in the last 20 days of the month. So im still losing, just hit a bit of a stall. I'm not worries, I kmow I will hit this goal and it won't talk long for me to get roh own personal goal of 170. NSVs this month Size 10 jeans!!!! Walking in 5 inch heels Dancing with my housband Even more running with my boys No more X in my top size. L and even a few Ms Stranger telling me I looked great at a work Christmas party Still loving me Seeing high school best friend wearing same size I graduated in.

I am starting to notice the dreeded slow down. Its been 5 months and I think I still have one more really good month left. I lost 9.6 pounds this month. Im excited that if I can lose 8.8 this coming month I will hit my doctors goal in just 6 months. If I slow down to just 1 lb a week ill be happy. I mean, I've done great! I have lost 81.4 so far. I feel great and thats why I did this in the first place. Nsvs for month 5 SIZE 12!!!! feeling normal around other people Being asked for advice about losing weight Seeing my dad for the first time since surgery and him saying he is proud of me. People telling me my pants are falling off and that I look skinny. Just being happy

 I cant believr three months have past! I am so proud of the work i'v done. This month my scale victory is 11.8 #. Not too bad when you think about the fact that i hit a stall, lost for two days and then went to Hawaii.I am down 59.6 lbs.I feel great and so greatful. 
U'm greatful for a husband you supported my pre-op when i wss scated to go under the knife.I'm greatful for four little boys who tell me thank you eveey day for playing with them. I'm thank for my Doctor for putting in yhe hard work to learn and master his craft. I'm thankful for the stregnth the Lord has given me to work my program. I'm thankful for the program i have. I'm thankful for my results thus far. I could continue for a long long time. i am just so overcome with gratitude
I have also been blessed with many NSVs. I like to high light those every month.

Flying with room to spare in my seat.
Being able to go paasailing with my husband.
My wedding ring being too big.
A neighbor from down the street that i hadnt seen in a while not reconizing me at first.
Being able walk miles all over Hawaii.
Being able to fit me and my baby in my pants with me.
laughing more.
realizing I dont have to change me just bevause so many others have after surgery.

I am just so greatful for all i have.

 Two months have past and I am going strong. I am down 47.6 lbs counting the 7.8 I lost pre-op. I am so happy. I'm enjoying visiting with people again. I'm social by nature, but had started to avoid people because I was so uncomfortable in my own skin. I am getting used to this new life and I think I'm doing well with sticking with my plan.

Some NSVs from this month:
Getting to a size 16
Beating my son in a foot race
Not hurting when I wake up
Driving my boys and I for 8 hours to go on vacation
Feeling like I look graceful while dancing
Climbing up and going down stairs without using the rail
Cooking healthy meals the whole family enjoys
And hearing from others that I inspire them to get healthier

Month two is a success! 

I am one month post-op and I feel great. I am down 29.2 pounds and already doing things I love to do again. I've started dancing again:) 
I am getting used to tracking. As of right now my body really doesn't like ham or beef (except beef jurky). I can eat ground turkey and i'm okay with that for now. I still struggel to get my water in, but I hit it most days. I get in my protein, but my NUT has me on 40- 60 g of protein a day. Most people I see are at 80g. I tend to be in my high 50s. I don't have to drink shakes any more, which is good because I never found one I like. 
I feel great. I try to do better each day, and I'm proud of the work I've done. Im not worried about failing because I havea plan and real goals that I know I can reach. I would say this first moth has been a success!
