Here is where I will document My Weigh Ins. I am going to try and update on a weekly basis, but I will not make any promises. I may miss a week or two (I have a lazy gene that may kick in from time to time) . I will do my best to keep up with reporting – I love to see numbers go down and that is what I am hoping to see here, fingers crossed.
Back in January 2011 when I met with the surgeon for the very first time I weighed in at 297 lbs – that was my highest weight ever. I am just happy that I never crossed over into the 300’s, but I was so very close !!
As of right now my personal goal is to be at 150 lbs for a weight loss of 136 lbs (OMG almost half of me) – I am only 5’4″ and I think that is realistic – if I go less then that even better – we will see what happens. I want to look healthy not starved if you know what I mean.
You can also see my Before and After Photos [ HERE ] Every Monday on weigh in day I have hubby take pictures of me – one set in my clothes and another set in my bra and undies (you will not see those – lol) so I can see the changes. I will be sharing them about every 4 weeks or so.
So here I go with the numbers……

*********************************************************************
I have not been weighing in every week due to some issues, will explain in a later post, but here is where I am today if anyone is wondering.
09-13-2014 – 143 lbs – The lowest I have ever been, but this was due to VERY poor eating habits – like not eating at all.
10-14-2014 – 152 lbs – I am pretty much back to the weight I would like to be – well 2 pounds up but much healthier
I have had many people ask where I have been and if I gained my weight back because I have not done a post in a while. Well I wanted to post an update as to what I am weighing in at these days and will be posting updates again shortly so stay tuned…
09-03-2015 – 155 lbs – I am holding strong with my weight loss and go up a few pounds and down a few pounds, but staying in the weight range I am happy at – woo hoo!!
