…Heart On Her Sleeve…

one day, i’m gonna run out of rhymes for these titles…   one day.

i’ve been a terrible poster.  my life is a bit upside down right now as i’m moving at the end of the week.. but things on the weight loss front are still going full steam ahead!  i’ve been feeling great, full of energy, getting out and about, playing softball, riding my bike.  life is good!  once i’m in my new digs and all settled in, i will focus more on taking pictures and posting recipes and all that fun stuff.  i promise!

in the mean time, here are my 8 week pictures.  i lost 12 lbs in the last 4 weeks.  not as dramatic a loss as in the first four weeks, but hey.. i’m not complaining!  as long as the scale is moving, i’m a happy camper.

not so great with the photoshop skills, but there you go!  what i’m most excited about this month is the introduction of a waist!

i am a day late and/or a dollar short.  my 1 month surgiversary was yesterday.  i can’t believe it’s gone by so fast! just like every wednesday, i weighed myself, and this week i lost another 6 lbs, making it 31 lbs since surgery!  add the 20 that i lost pre-op and we’re at 51 lbs since my consult in february.  i am pleased!  if you look at the top of the page, i am keeping tabs on my weight loss under the tab “weight loss tracker”.

i took photos the day before my surgery with the intention of taking the same shots once a month so i could see how i was losing month to month.  the good news is, i actually followed through!

as you can see in the side view, most of the weight came directly off my belly. which is just fine with me!  i anticipate taking these pictures every month to see how my progress is going!
