Long time NO write

Wow! Things have been busy and it's only going to get busier with the holidays...

I've lost 85 pounds so far and I'm feeling great!

I've lost 70 pounds so far and I feel wonderful!!

I'm baaacckkk!

I'm back from visiting my Grandboo-boo's - it was a wonderful trip! I wish I could have brought them home with me!!

For the almost 3 weeks I was there, I only lost 5 pounds! I didn't eat the way I should have and I only exercised a few times....So now my weight loss is at 60 pounds.

Update Update

I'm leaving to go see my Grandbabies for about 3 weeks but before going I thought I'd announce that I have lost 55 pounds!!!

I have found if something doesn't agree with my new stomach, up it comes!! I've barfed more since the bypass than I have all the years Jim and I have been married up to that point!! Even at that, I would do it again and again because it is way worth it. For so many years of my life food was my everything - get togethers, stress, PMS, fun times and boredom to name a few. Now food means nothing to me except to give my body the energy it needs to get throughout the day - wierd grounds for me.

I can't wait to report how I do after being on vacation....Best to all of you!!

I Have a Question

So many people are password protecting their blogs - how come????

HALF WAY THERE!!!

I've lost 50 pounds - I have 50 more to go and I hit the goal weight I set for myself before the bypass!!!!

Before and During Photos

I've had several people ask me to post pictures. Can I tell you that I HATE having my picture taken?!! Maybe it's because heavy people don't like their pictures taken?? Anyways, I'm attaching 2 pictures. The first one was taken of me at Jenilee's wedding with my sister Wendy a couple of weeks before the bypass and, the second one of me about a week ago with my sister Wendy right before going to the Heart concert while I was in Boise. I've lost about 45 pound - can you see a difference in the pictures????
