i would like to take some time to say thank you to my husband chad for being my biggest supporter, there is no way i would of done this without you. i love you so much baby.
thank you to all my family and friends, you guys have given me so much love and support this past year. lifting me up when i am doubting myself, reminding me why i did what i did. and a thank you to those of you who maybe didnt think i could do it, this is for you too!!! whoever you are.
my life was great even before the surgery, but now... words cannot even describe how much i look foward to every day. i may still have to drag myself out of bed in the am, but at least now i can do it without the symphony of aches and pains that plagued me for years.
and last, but certainly not least, big thank you to everyone at the Y, ESPECIALLY rodney and brenda who really pushed me to go beyond what i ever thought was possible. you guys rock!!! i aspire to be just like you!
i cant wait to see what is in store for me this year...ohhh the possibilities!!! i am going to start thinking of what goals i am going to accomplish!

new years day 2011
so here i am, almost a year out, and down 90 lbs. what a year this has been!!! cannot believe all the accomplishments i have made this year. i never really thought when i went in that i would be this far. i am pretty excited with the way things have turned out after the surgery. not only am i losing weight, but i am totally embracing exercise as a way of life now.
i am still stuck on my plateau, but i know its only temporary, and i will move past this. i have about 42 more lbs to go to get to my goal. i was going to wait until i got to my goal to reveal my starting weight, and current weight, but.... here goes!!!!
i was 272 at my heaviest, that is what i weighed in the new years eve picture from last year. i had to do a 2 week fast before my surgery, so they wheeled me in at 260 that morning. i am now down to 182. i would like to weigh about 140, that is the weight i was before i got pregnant with andrew. i may not look healthy there, i may go lower, i dont know. i have to wait and see where i am at, and how i feel. i am not going to obsess over the numbers anymore. i want to get to a healthy bmi. i went into my surgery as morbidly obese, i am right now in the overweight range. major improvement there!!!!! i am at a 29, and i went in as a 45!
even with all the improvements, i still see where i need to go. but for the first time, i think ever, i can actually see myself getting there!
