Halloween Blast

Current Weight: 197.2 lbs.
Total Lost: 89.5 lbs.

Well the Halloween party was a blast.
For the 45 people who I invited and didn't show up...you missed out!
And thank you to the 5 people who did show...I hope you had a great time.

I danced, I drank goodies, I didn't eat much.
Didn't eat much today either.

Went for a walk around the neighborhood this morning.
Went for a hike on the beach this afternoon.
Great weather, great friends, great times.

FINALLY!!...199!!!

Current Weight: 199.0 lbs.
Total Lost: 87.7 lbs.

I held my breath and stepped on the scale.
The third square in front of the microwave.
And yes!!!
It finally said 199!!!!

THE 1's!!!!

I haven't seen the 1's since....6th or 7th grade??
I swear.
I can't even remember.

I feel great!
My body finally let go of the 2's.
Now I just have to keep it that way.

Ok...another goal accomplished.
Lose 80 lbs for wedding....check.
Get down to 199....check.
Next goal...be able to say I have lost 100 lbs.
It's not that far off people.
I'm at 87.7 down.
And then new pictures again!

What a great day!
I am at 199.
I felt like I got a ton of sleep last night.
I'm wearing a size LARGE pants today.
It's the day before Fall Break!
Woo hoo!

Look at me! I'm wearing a BELT!!! I haven't worn a belt since like 1985. Seriously. This whole outfit is new from my favorite store...Goodwill. Size 18 top and size 20 pants. And yes...I am wearing makeup in this photo. I thought I would give it a whirl.

199 Lb Party

Current Weight: 202.4 lbs.
Total Lost: 84.3 lbs.

Tammy threw me a 199 lbs. party on Friday night!
Even though I'm not there yet...
But everyone says they have faith in me.
It was a good little party.
We had chili, broccoli cheese casserole, apple pie, veggies and dip etc.
My sister and her husband drove all the way down after work!
That was so sweet of them.

Auntie Adie...you would be proud of me!
I drank almost a whole bottle of wine myself!!

So, after a week and a half hiatus with cardio, Tammy and I went back on Wednesday.
It felt good to work out again.
I pulled my thigh muscle at Julie's wedding and didn't go to cardio for a week.
Then Angie, our massage therapist, worked it out and it was amazing!

Today I think I am going to work outside.
I haven't cut the grass in a month.
There are leaves everywhere.
This might be one of the last nice weekends to get this stuff done.

My incision finally healed up!
It's a little crusty around the edges.
BUT...I don't have to wear a panty liner on my tummy any more!!

New goal...get to 199 by the end of the week.
Or the end of the month.
But I'll probably make it somewhere in between that.

The Wedding

Current Weight: 205.8 lbs.
Total Lost: 80.9 lbs.

Yes...I have lost 80 lbs!!!!!
I lost 2 whole pounds dancing my butt off at Julie's wedding.
The wedding was awesome.
My dress fit like a glove.
Julie looked beautiful.
Kevin looked handsome.
Mom looked stunning.

I am so happy that I started that cardio class before the wedding.
There is no way I could have squatted to fix the dress or dance like I did if I didn't prepare.
The DJ was awesome and I think he only played one song that I didn't know.
Hence...I danced all night like a mad fool and lost 2 pounds.

Today, my thighs are KILLING ME!
My feet ache even though I had gym shoes on during the entire reception.
Even my arms ache.

Well....I did it.
Julie has been bugging me for as long as I can remember about losing weight.
She always said to me, "You're gonna have to fit in a dress for my wedding."
Well...it was still a big dress, but I fit into it.
It needed to be taken in.
And even though I'm still a little puffy...I looked better than I would have at 286.7 lbs.

Julie...thank you for giving me a goal.
Thank you for helping me reach it with all of your support.
Even though I have a big head...you still were more beautiful than me.
You were georgous and radient...I was girlified and cute.
I have never seen you more happy.
Brian...you are one lucky guy...you are getting a great girl.

Congratulations Brian and Julie! Have fun in Hawaii!
