I did it!

Unbelievable! This morning the scale shows that I've lost 75 pounds. I reached my goal of being there by the trip. It may only be a fleeting moment for now, since usually when I drop weight, it goes down a couple of pounds and then back up one. But the scale really did read 228 this morning. Brad says I only weigh 40 pounds more than he does. That is so cool. Yay!

I'm not a liar anymore!

I weigh exactly what my drivers' license says I do. Woo hoo! I don't think that's ever been the case before. I think I've always fudged the numbers by at least 20 or so.

Also, today I jumped over my halfway mark by a pound and a half. Onward and downward!

I'm only two pounds away from my goal of 75 pounds by the trip. We'll have to see if I make it. Either way, I'm feeling pretty good.

Played basketball!

Well, okay I shot some baskets, but I jumped a bit and ran around some. We had Family Home Evening last night and for our activity we shot baskets and rode bikes. Brad and I are borrowing a set of bikes from some friends here and we pumped up the tires and got them going yesterday. Mine doesn't have working brakes, so I only rode a short distance and very slowly at that.

It felt great to get out and do normal stuff. Yay!

75 pound goal

We're going to Utah in a couple of weeks and I'll see lots of people for the first time since my surgery. I'm hoping I can be down to where I've lost 75 pounds by then. Only 6 pounds to go. I guess I should exercise some more to help that out. I've been getting some walking in, but it's sporadic at best.

I'm feeling so good about myself these days. I enjoy getting dressed and doing my hair and makeup. I was told that I have sparkly eyes on Sunday. I was told you can't see that with my glasses on, but that my eyes sparkle without them. Nice compliment. :)

Still feeling blessed to be living my life every day.

4.5 pounds to go until halfway!

I'm getting ever closer to that halfway mark. Soo exciting!

June progress pictures in regular clothes

Since the before outfit is getting baggy and you can't see all the differences in my body, here are some shots that same day in my regular clothes.
