A chronicle of my weight loss journey started in January 2005. Continued in September 2008 with laproscopic RNY surgery. Continuing my story with the loss of my husband and how I'm handling the grieving process.
Michelle...Thanks, honey! I was just telling Tim yesterday that if I could keep up the average I have going in another ten months I'd have the second 100 gone. I had not counted the months to see where that would put me, though. And ... I don't know how soon it's going to get more difficult. I am guessing the last 100 lbs is going to be a bear and want to stick like glue but I'll just keep at it until it gives up!
Paul...Thanks! I was dressing in dark colors for the photos (you know the whole "black is slimming" attitude). Tim said it was hard for him to see the changes in dark clothes and asked me to wear the light clothes. I like orange myself, but this T-shirt is the only orange I have. I'm hoping as I lose weight to add more color to my wardrobe. For so many years I've worn black, navy, and dark grey slacks and dark t-shirts. (I think I have five purple ones!) I also hope to one day retire these 'old lady pants' (knit with elastic waist) one day. I long for blue jeans. I've not owned or wore any in probably 20 years and I want them back!
Jodi...I am finding it much easier to lug around my current weight than the weight of a few months ago. I'm just now realizing how much 100 lbs actually is. I don't think I can even lift 100 lbs! Good lord, my youngest daughter only weighs 125. So ... 25 more pounds to go and I will have lost her! ;) Oh NO!
Then I started thinking and Tim weighs 228. I have 225 pounds to go to goal so that is going to be like losing him. By the time I'm done I'll have lost the weight of my husband and almost my daughter! That just boggles my mind!!!
P.S...Karon, who's Linda? ROFL...you posted a note on my blog yesterday to a Linda. I got such a kick out of that (you're way too occupied over there!).
I am currently 53 years old. I was married to the same fella for twenty-eight years! He passed away in May 2013 after a long battle with diabetes and kidney failure. We have two daughters, four beautiful granddaughters ... Ceci born Feb 05, Chloe born Apr 07, Nadia born Aug 07, and Malaina born May 09, and a two grandsons Alex born Aug 2010 and Brody born Nov 2012. I've struggled with weight all of my life and this began as my story of trying to take my life back. I am continuing it now as I work through grieving for my husband.

Thanks, Jennifer!
Just think Karon! You are averaging 10 lbs a month - so by July you could be down another 100 lbs! Wow! You are are doing phenomenal job, my friend!
Karon, I have to agree with Michelle!! The more you lose the more you exercise, and that next 100lbs is gonna be no problem!!
You are great!! You are doing such a great job with the exercise and using your own foods!!!!
Will be praying for Tim's appt to go better than he expects.
Jodi
