Update on my dropping weight

[Guest guest]

To all the awsome folks on this board that have always been great

support I wanted to drop by and give an update on my weight loss.

For a refresher for those of you who know me and just fyi for those

new to the board ( a big ole howdy to all of ya by the way)

I am 35 years old - the mother of 5 children ranging in age from 5-

14, I am 5'10 " and my starting weight on June 26,2006 when I had the

blessing of going on Dr A's scapel to have RNY I was 302 pounds. I

usually only weight in once a month on the 26th but I decided to cut

myself some slack because the 26th of this month I will have just

returned home from a 5 day cruise. So I weighted in yesturday...

212.... yeah - that is a full 90 pounds in 7 month 3 weeks.

I am in 14/16s for the most part. I still have a couple pair of pants

that are size 18 that with a belt I can keep on but they feel like I

am wearing 'hammer pants'

I feel human again. I am starting to level off emotionally it is

certainly a roller coster sometimes with all the emotion and the

drastic change so fast. I think I am finally looking in the mirror

and seeing the smaller me. My mom at age 64 with the same height and

weight stats as me had RNY done here in the stated on January 7th.

Boy what a difference. I would choose Dr A and his team over the care

my mom got any day of the week. But anyhow she has done well weight

wise. She is down about 25 pounds in the 6ish weeks. I am so proud of

her and it is nice to be on this path with my mom. Honestly I begged

her to have it done because I wish to continue sharing things with

her. She was becoming old at 64 and that is actually why I choose to

go to Mexico because I saw myself becoming my mother at an

accelerated rate.

I don't blog/post often at all but I can hardly wait to reach to

century mark so 10 more pounds. Which I do not see happening while on

a cruise ship......Honestly I can not wait to be in UNDERLAND = the

under 200 mark!!!!! My goal weight is 175 and I do intend to have a

complete body lift at perhaps my 2 year out mark so I hope to level

off one day in the future at the 160-165ish range. At 5'10 " perhaps I

can become a model....lol!!!!

God Bless each and every one of you. I will post some pictures after

we get home from the cruise since I will be all dressed up and

looking pretty.

Dawn, this is wonderful news! What a great success you are having. Hope you have a wonderful cruise. You can eat health on a cruise, you can drink water and exercise in the gyn, walk on the upper deck track or swim---oh yes, the dancing at night! Wooo hoooooo! Can't wait to see more great photos of you and the hubby!
