I hit a new milestone

I'm so excited. I got on the scale this morning and I hit a new LOW. I have lost since October 120 pounds. That makes 82 pounds since Jan. 28th. That's only 5 months ago. I feel really good. I still go to my sisters and ride her exercise bike plus I have been walking more. We even went swimming the other night and the bathing suit that I have is a little big, the last time I wore it it was somewhat snug on me.

I leave this coming Thursday to go to Chicago to see Jen and her fiance Dan, and the rest of my family that is up there. I will also get to met Dan's family for the first time. I am really looking forward to that.

This picture that I'm posting is me and my brother Ken. He was down here at the end of May. I should have more pics after my trip to Chicago.

I promised one of my friends from church if I continued to lose this past week I would do a praise report and let the congregation know how much I have lost, so will do that tomorrow. I Bless God and all my friends for all their support.

Not too much happening

I've been told that I needed to update my blog.

Not too much has happened since my last post. I have lost another 5 pounds. I have hit another plateau. I have been going to my sisters almost every day and ride their stationary bike for between 15-25 minutes. I walk several times a week, I know that I am losing inches because I have gone from a size 5x down to a 2x. That is really exciting. I am being more active and have a lot more energy.

Also my brother Ken came down for a short visit this past month. It was good to see him. I am going to go to Chicago the end of June to visit my daughter and to meet her fiance's parents. I can't wait to see her. She was down here for Christmas and has only gotten to see me in pictures since the surgery. I will also get to see my brother and his family and meet my two nephews that I have only seen in pictures. I will also see George's mom, sister and family. It will be getting in a lot of visiting in a very short time period.

I don't have to go back to the surgeon until November. I went to my family doctor and she said that my sugar levels were good and that I didn't need to go back on the medicine and she took some blood to check the thyroid and that came back that she lowered my dose of thyroid medicine, and to come back in six weeks and they would check again. It is possible that I will be able to get off of the medicine completely after I have lost all the weight I need too. That would be fantastic.

I don't have any pictures to post this time, but will after I come back from Chicago.
