Hey all! I know it has been a while since I blogged. I have been super busy with work and rehearsals, not only for my show but Nick's. We were both in production at the same time. NEVER again! Anyway, things have gone really well, I am officially down 128 pounds and have 25 pounds to go to hit my goal!! I really hope to hit it before the year is up! Although I am finding that the last leg is proving the hardest! Not hard in the aspect of pain or troubles, just the last bit is coming off slowly and I am so ready to be at that goal!

I feel better and look better than I have in years, and although I was really having a hard time turning 40 this past October, I think the 40's may prove to be the best years of my life, cause I have a new lease on life. This is the year I will go after all my goals and dreams!

Wishing you all a healthy, happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Today is my 6 month mark and I am down 99 pounds! I was hoping to hit the 100 pound mark, but I'm thrilled with the weight loss no matter what! Yesterday was an adventure as I shopped for a new bra. The lady at Macy's was awesome in helping me. I had to try on over 30 bras till I found that perfect fit! I went from a 46DD to a 38 DD!! The new bras makes me look even skinnier, cause my boobs aren't dragging on the ground LOL! I hope to hit 100 pounds this week! Just wanted to update everyone on my progress thus far! Thanks to everyone for their encouragement and support! It means the world to me!

Well I haven't posted anything in a while. Mostly cause I've been super duper busy but also cause things seem to be slowing down again. As of my morning weigh in I have lost a whopping 90 pounds! I am pretty stoked but am looking foward to that 100 pound milestone! That will be AWESOME! I spent the past 3 days in Wisconsin Dells in a bathing suit and I was not mortified by being in one! I actually was comfortable and confident! Now don't get me wrong i certainly don't have a swimsuit model body, or bikini body yet! But I did not feel like that grossest or fattest one there and that is an accomplishment! I also wasn't afraid to go down the slides nor did i worry about how small the seats on the roller coasters were! I used to have nightmares about sliding down the water slide and splashing all the water out of the pool at the end like in the movie "Norbert" with Eddie Murphy. Anyone seen it? If so you can understand the fear, but this weekend... NO FEAR!!! i had a great time with Nicholas and kept up with him! Things are good, my new life just gets better and better!

Well my followers,I know it's been a while since I blogged. Life has been pretty hectic, the new job is keeping me super busy and it just seems like every evening something is going on.

Here's my most recent update... I saw the surgeon on 5-25 for a post-op as of that appt. I had lost 72 pounds, 8 inches from my hips, 6 .5 inches from my waist and had dropped 7 points on the BMI scale. I moved out of the morbidly obese category which means I have added years to my life and am much healthier! I still am in the obese category but will hopefully move out of that soon as well!.

Last weekend I went clothes shopping with my sister and was pleasantly surprised when I was able to buy all my clothes from the misses section and NOT the PLUS size section! WOO HOO! I haven't been out of plus size clothing in over 10 years for sure!

As of this morning I am 76 pounds down! I feel the best i have in years!
Hard to believe all of this has happened in a little over 4 months!
More of my journey to come soon!

LIFE IS GOOD! I officially hit 55 lbs today and could not be more excited. It's been a whirlwind the last few weeks. I started my new job and I love it! I saw Bon Jovi last Thursday and felt like a schoolgirl all over again. I'm helping out with a play which opens Friday night, so that and work are keeping me running, but, I feel great! Last Saturday I walked somewhere between 6 and 8 miles, never got winded and felt fantastic. I cannot honestly tell you the last time I was able to do that! Life is good and it's only getting better!! I am finally starting to notice the difference and am happy with the way I am looking! I cannot wait to loose 50 more pounds! Haven't had any bouts of disagreeing food lately either! I'm enjoying trying new things!
