Weight update- Total loss....

I don't know why I can't get this photo to rotate left, but in case you can't read to the side....
That says 212.4!!!
My starting weight was 344.4.

That's a total of 134.0 pounds lost!!!



After seeing the scale this morning, I was feeling myself and snapped this pic:
And I felt NORMAL.


Then we had a work outing to go ride a carousel today.

As I hopped up on my horse, I wondered if there was a weight limit.
And then I realized I am sure there heavier adults who've ridden these horse.

And guess what?  My horse did not break.
I'm not sure when I'll stop feeling like the fat girl I used to be.

Maybe one day I'll just feel like the semi-chubby girl I currently am ;)

    That was amazing. you've lost a lot of weight. We need people like you to promote healthy living and proper weight loss.

    BTW, I'm Laura Rani Wood - an Independent Beach body program coach. I am a 40-year old mother to two lovely girls.

    I work a full-time job that includes some travel. After I had my second daughter I was frustrated and depressed about the way my body looked and felt. I couldn't get back to where I was. I started to look for a way to get in shape and shed those unwanted pounds from pregnancy but going to the gym was not in the budget at the time. I began my fitness journey just 3 years ago.

    On July 4, 2010 I began a P90X Challenge which changed my life.

    I felt great.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
