It is so hard to believe that a year ago today Janelle and I had our RNY! And both of us have done so great with our weight lose. I am so thrilled that I went to that group where they talked about why they did the band or RNY and I chose the RNY! It was so the best choice I ever made for myself physically! I Love the way I look and the way I feel about myself now! I Love the self confidence I have now! And am so thrilled with all the wonderful friends I have made because of doing this!!!! No life has not be easy this past year, yes I have had a LOT of rough things to face. But I am still thrilled that I had the surgery and that I have achieve my goal weight!!!!! To this date I have lost 130 lbs!!!!! I weighed 278 lbs when I started this process and today I am 148 lbs. I haven't measured in a while because all my information is packed away of what my measurments were last time. So as soon as we find a home and get settled I will get my measurements. I think last time I was down 92 inches. But not possitive on that. I started out wearing a size 26/28 and am now in a 10!!!!!! Who would of EVER thought that would happen!!!?!!! Surely not me! I was hoping to get to a 14/16 but am so thrilled that I stuck to it and have pushed myself to lose more. I am very happy with where I am at right now! I would like to some day have plastic surgery and get rid of this lose skin. But right now I do not have the insurance nor the money to pay for it. So I will just keep working at it and hopefully some day be able to have the work done.
Happy Anniversary/Birthday Janelle!
We have come a long way since this day!

Well we finally found a house and are so thrilled! Can't wait to get moved in. We are getting help with the first months rent and the deposit from Family Independence Agency. So we are just waiting to find out how long that will take. I will be so thrilled to have a place of our own again! We will be renting and that is just fine with Don and I right now. We will be out in the country and Don and the boys are very excited about that! I actually am too. It will be so nice to look out the windows and not see houses. We will see wide open fields!!!!! AWESOME!!!! Yup guess I am a country girl. LOL
I have been going to the gym almost every morning and working out on the recumberent bike and LOVE IT!!!! So Don and I were looking at them at the store the other day and he said that when our income tax check comes, he will buy me one to have at home! I am so excited!!!!! I have several DVD's that I can work out with too. And also my exercise ball and weights. So I will get a good work out at home. WOW that is so nice to say! "HOME" I so can't wait to get moved!
I did the 5 day pouch test last week and WOW did it work! My stomach has shrunk down or at least feels like it. I am feeling the tightness again telling me when it is time to stop eating. I had gained a few pounds back and now have them off again! That feels so good. it was only a couple pounds, but I don't want to ever gain the weight back again!!!!!
Yesterday Don and I went for a walk down town and we ended up walking around 2 miles in the beautiful out doors! I stopped at a second hand store and bought 3 skirts too and also stopped and got my eye brows done. They feel so much better!!!!
This morning I went into work with Shelly and hour before she had to start working. We worked on the recumberant bikes and I did 24 miles at 35 mph in 45 minutes and burned 900 calories!!!!!! I still can't believe I did it!!!! But it is what the bike said I did and it was AWESOME!!!!!! I am going to be going with her every week day before she starts working. So we will be getting a great work out in!!!!!!
