Measurements...

Every so often I have that husband of mine take my measurements. Typically I like to do them when I am seriously feeling like NOTHING has changed and just need a pick me up.

So, as of right now these are my most current measurements:

Wrist: 6 1/4

Arms: 12.5

Hips: 42.5

Neck: 13.5

Thigh: 20.5

Waist: 41

Chest: 38

That's an over all change of:  51.75 inches since my journey started.

 Unfortunately, I lost my pretty spreadsheet I made on my computer. We tried for hours trying to recover it with out such luck :(

Free Time...

I'm finally on break for work! Whoohoo!

Well, I won't get TOO excited because I'm only off until July 1st.. and, my mom has already asked me to come into work ONE day to help her with some stuff.

I am planning on using my time wisely and use it to get back in the routine of working out again! I have 49 pounds until I reach goal! whoohoo!

But, for today I was a little bored and played with some photo editing stuff!

I think it's pretty AWESOME! If I do say so myself!

Measurements!

I haven't really taken any measurements since 12/19/10. I decided today they were LONG overdue. So instead of doing a regular weight check in, I'll be doing inches..

I don't have a fancy spread sheet today because my Word stopped working... but, I have this from my facebook :

Tonight, I'm going to post a different kind of update. INCHES! In my 

arms, I've lost approximately 2 inches, wrists: 1.5, thighs: 2, hips: 7.

 Neck: 3 , Waist: 6 and Chest:7. Combined that's a total of 28.5 inches 

lost in 3 months! My BMI has also dropped about 13 points since 

December! =)

I finally weigh...

Under 250 pounds!!

Oh yes! The scale was nice to me this morning. I have been hovering in the lower 250's for about a week now. And while I can't say it's been bothering me too much because I drink a LOT I was hoping it would move soon.

So today I got on and it read 248. OH YEAH!!

That brings me to a total loss of 69 pounds thus far!

I love love loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee my sleeve!

Sunday Update 1

Good Morning! Today is Sunday so that means MEASUREMENTS♥ In short, I decided against tracking inches. As for pounds as of today I'm 6 days post op. I am down 7 pounds since surgery itself. But in total I'm down 32 pounds since PRE-Op! ♥ Whoohoo! Hoping today I can get to the mall and buy my first charm for my bracelet since reaching my first goal of 25 lbs lost!

Sunday Updates

Originally Sunday updates were to include inches AND pounds.

I made a nice little chart to track inches.

After today, I decided against that.

It's too much making sure we remember WHAT part we used last time (l or r)

And, exactly WHERE we measured. I wanted it to be as precise as possible and it doesn't look like that will happen. So, BOO!

But, nonetheless there will be an update!

Sunday's

I decided Sunday's will be my update days. I am tracking my weight, and my inches. And, even made a nifty little chart to keep it all organized.

Just looking at this chart, I am already amazed with how much weight I have lots AND how my BMI has changed. When I started this journey my Body Mass Index was 52 :(

Date:	Weight:	BMI:	Chest:	Waist:	Hips:	Neck:	Thigh:	Arms:	Wrist:	Difference in Inches
12/19/10	289.4	48.09	52	56	57	18	27	18	8.5	N/a

Nervous.

I have been going back and forth all week if I wanted to post my starting weight.

I have NEVER felt comfortable with sharing my weight with anyone.

But, after much thought I decided I would share. After all, the purpose of this blog is to show others that they can do this too!

When I first started my journey I was 317 pounds.

That was how much I weighed at my first appointment with Dr. You.

The next appointment I was 309.

Most of that was because I was sick. And, I thought I'd gain it all back after I felt better.

Last Monday, December 6th I started my Pre Op Diet.

As of Saturday December 11th I am down to 296.4.

I'm very excited. My goal for myself was to be under 300 by surgery day.
