Before's and Now's! ;-)


June 2009 - 2 weeks before Surgery, 273 lbs


June 2009 - Morning of surgery 269 lbs


December 2010 - 210 lbs-ish

Still got a ways to go! But proud of the distance I've already traveled! I love picture posts, hope you do too!

I just spent a little bit goin through my weightloss pictures. I've always kept an album titled "weightloss pics" and just saved 'em all by date. Today I went through and created folders for '09, '10, and now '11. Organized those all and I'm going to begin to make my weightloss scrapbook. I'll be doing an online photobook and then you just buy it and they mail it to you. I'm very excited! Of course, it won't be done. But I'm starting to feel alittle motivation creep in, anxious to run my next run, anxious to sign up for my next race, and excited to lose the next 20 lbs! All I can focus on right now is the next 20! I just need to add exercise back to my life, that's the key to MY success and the only thing I've missed lately. My eating has NEVER been perfect, not even close to perfect. Exercising has given me the majority of the success I've had and it's the ONE thing I cannot let go of! 

So just to compare close up...









xoxo,
Libby Lou!

    Lookin' good! Exercising seems to be the ticket for jump starting weight loss, although, I haven't begun myself, but I need to!

    You look great! You're right, we are band twins-- starting at the same weight and right at the same spot now :) Let's lose the next 20 together.

Apparently...a grain is a grain and any grain...is a piece of shit!?!

So I recently joined a Facebook page for Weight loss Surgery peeps and this has brought back this whole idea...or reminder that...Oh yeah, I hate weight loss surgery! Lol! So I had to drudge up my old before pictures, re-calculate the weight I've lost, inches lost and just all those wonderful memories come rushing back. Honestly, other than getting stuck on certain foods, occasionally eating too fast, my band horribly too tight in the humidity when I travel back to Arkansas...I tend to live my life like there is no band. It stops me from eating too much, that is my way of life now and I just don't think about it very often. But so in joining that Facebook page there were a handful of chics I vaguely know on Facebook as locals in my town (who I've never or only once met in real life) who were on that page. I never knew they had a WL surgery! That's so neat! So then tonight I was Fb chatting with one of them and she was telling me how she had gastric bypass in 2008 and ...

Woah...dude...it has been FOR-EV-ER!!!

Well here I am, once again starring at a computer screen to share my life or a story with an audience I cannot touch or see. I came to this blog because I am trying to get into my writing professionally part-time to follow this huge passion of mine and in doing so I had to find and share the links to a blog I "used" to write on. In coming back here and exploring a bit I feel great nostalgia for the blogging community that helped me become who I am, helped me lose weight, helped me face fears, changed the very person I am to my CORE so many years ago! Starting in 2009 and up to about 2013, this blog and this community was a giant part of my life. As life got busy, as it always does, the seasons changed and life took me away from this blog. Not to mention it was died to an AOL account that caused me to have to log out of ALL my gmail accounts just to login to Blogger so that was a pain in a butt so it slowly fell away. But here I am today, with a desire to update you on my li...

Let's get MENTAL!!!

...Lol, that makes me think "Let's get physical, physical, physical"!!! (emailed myself while at gym) There's this skinny chic at the gym I was watching run. Had to be 110-120 lbs. She ran a 13 min mile. I thought her tiny body could've gone much faster, my sister does!! (Go Jennypoo!) But she had super perfect form. Her arms and shoulders never faltered, go her! Seriously though, I think she was running on her tip toes, I'll have to try that. Hehe! THEN this hot, hot guy gets on a treadmill and sets it at 6.0 (!!) For his warm up! Damn it man!!!! Yes, I am a people watcher...keeps me entertained! :P (after gym) Running: So I couldn't run on my toes. Did my best to run my 1 mile (to check my speed) and I did it in 14.2 minutes. Not awful, but I did struggle. Maybe the leg soreness… Cycling: Then I did 6.3 miles cycling and I swear I thought I was gonna die!!! (Half way thru!) But I had a glorious finish with an average of 4.7 min/mile, hooty...
