Thirty eight pounds up to be exact. I'm going to lose it, I WILL. It's just sad, that's all. And infuriating. And who likes being angry at themself??

Lower body lift in a few months. yaaaaay!

I don't even know how I lost weight but I did, another ten pounds. 20lbs away from goal weight, I CANNOT believe it. AND I'm having my plastic surgery in a few months. HOLY CRAP. If all goes as...

So close I can TASTE IT. I had a virtual consult with Dr Quiroz (plastic surgeon) and he told me not to lose anymore weight, that I don't have to because those last twenty pounds are all loose excess...

And it feels soooo good. I'm almost there!! 38 lbs to go til goal weight, 38 FREAKING POUNDS, IS THIS REAL?!

I'm still tired but not as much as I was. It's not a huge, significant improvement but it's definitely noticeable. I got a pedicure a week ago and I could barely hold my legs up; they were shaking so...

I had the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery on 10/31/2011. It suffices to say that I hate the protein shakes and I really REALLY want food. I think I'm actually getting a little depressed. My...
