I haven't updated this in awhile and figured it was time I did so. I have been taking Chemistry the first 6 wks of summer, I will be done in 2 wks, and so it has consumed my life. Stew lost his job, officially. We are going to keep the kids and stew on COBRA insurance, but can't afford to keep me on it.

I am down to 238 right now. My weight has certainlybeen a VERY slow loss, especially lately. I have also returned to WW, in hopes and moving forward. I feel more capable of doing that now, then I did when I was weighing closer to 300 lbs.

41 pounds gone - May 6, 2007


So, once again i have the stomach flu. I am so tired of being sick, I wish there were proper words to explain my dismay. So these are horrible pics but i suppose they give a small idea of my loss.

And the Journey Continues




That's right I am down over 37 lbs now! Yay! I, once again, went through a period where I didn't lose any weight and now I am back on track. I never know if I should get a fill or not because there are plenty of days where things just won't go down and then there are days where anything and everything goes down. I have to admit though my appetite is not what it use to be. And I am not eating all the time. Most days i only eat two meals with a small snack.

New pics at 247

Shirt is getting WAY too big now, doesn't do me much justice anymore.

Still Losing!





As you can see I am down a couple more pounds, Yay Me! I am so happy and become more and more happy with every pound I lose. It is just so freeing. I just can't wait to be out of the 200's and back into onderland. Only 47.4 pounds to go. At that point I will begin to look like the old Holly, instead of the obese one. It will be so satisfying.

I still can't believe that I have lost nearly 35 lbs and NOT one person outside of family as noticed, or at least said they have noticed. Seriously, someone loses 35 lbs and you can't tell. What the heck? Oh well. At some point someone will notice and have to say something. I can't get down to 159 w/o people notcing that i have gone from a size 26 to a size 10, at some point it will be impossible.

The day a non-family member says something will be my greatest NSV!

Out of the 250's forever!!!




I still can't believe it! I am down into the 240's now, granted only by .2 lbs but still it is NOT the 250's anymore. I find it amusing that everytime I get out of the previous 10 lbs., how much smaller I am, and how when I was down to those previous 10 lbs, how great I was feeling. It just continues to get better and better every day. I am just so thankful for my band. I never thought I would be able to lose this weight but I am. And it feels soooo good! I will try and post new pics later today.

Down 31.5 Just in time for Spring!




Wow, I don't know if I have every lost this much weight before! This is sooo exciting. I am shrining slowly but surely. I have gone from a size 26 to a size 22/24, so that is also good. In May we are planning a trip to Orlando for a week and I hope to be down in the 230's by then, so about 11 lbs to go! Yeah me!!!
