8 months post op, 110 pounds gone!

I am now at 8 months post op.
110 pounds lost, I am 54 pounds away from my goal weight of 175 pounds!

A lady I met recently, who oversees the place where my dad lives, was talking to me about her experience. She is 7 years post op, and plateaued at 2 and a half years at 145 pounds. She was right at 300 pounds at her surgery. I was 339.9 at my surgery, and since I have already lost 110 pounds out of 164, I am hoping that I may be able to surpass my goal of 175! My New Year's resolution is to make exercising harder a priority. I do walk a good bit now, and make it a point to get some walking in everyday; however, now is the time where some good strength training would become beneficial.

I have re enrolled in school, work a full time job and I run a couponing/savings website - so I am pretty busy. I have to make time for me. Afterall, this was MY goal. MY dream - to be healthy. Not thin, but healthy.

For those who are asking, or for new readers who never knew, here are my before and after stats:

Before:
339 pounds (352 last year)
Size: 26 W
BP: 137/75
Glucose (Non Fasting): 180

Now:
229 pounds
Size: 14/16W
BP: 90/52
Glucose (Non Fasting): 88

6 months post op

Hey everyone! Here I am 6 months post op, and I feel amazing!



I have lost 91 pounds since surgery, and I am finally starting to feel confident and come out of the fat girl shell!







Yes, I am still technically obese, but honey, I am WAY smaller than I was. Looking back, I cannot understand how I was able to go about my daily life in the lifestyle I was living.







Here is a picture that I just took today! FIRST TIME EVER wearing leggings! I am getting a little more adventurous, just because I feel more confident and not so afraid to wear things that I like to wear.







Anyhow, I hope everyone has a great week!

5 months post op

Hey everyone!

So here I am at 88 pounds down from surgery feeling great! I am still getting to achieve a 100 pound loss by September 18th, ani am excited about the fact that I am only a few pounds shy of being my high school size. That is not my stopping point though, considering I was overweight then, but it was a major accomplishment I wanted to achieve within 7 months of having the bypass surgery.

I also have decided to take another journey, which is to go back to school. I am hoping to move into another area of the company I work for, and I think ill be a lot happier there. We shall see :)

Have a great weekend!
