| 6/18/04 Here we go again! Although I have not lost all the weight I want, I just graduated and will be starting my career soon. Therefore, I will not have the required 4 weeks to recover for a long while- which has led me to my decision of having my abdominoplasty now- June 22 to be exact. That's right, I'm gettin' my tummy tuck! I am so excited, I don't think I've ever had a flat stomach. It is actually going to be a sort of body lift, because it will wrap around to the back, and I am also having liposuction around the area and under my neck. Goodbye double chin and flabby tummy! =) I am really scared, but I am also happy. Tune in for updates and before & after pics on my new plastic surgery page. 1/28/04 Well, sorry I am definitely avoiding this place. There's really not much to say anyway. This surgery was great, I am much healthier, but I am not skinny. It surely wasn't a magic cure, and I have all the same issues and battles as I did before. I feel like somewhat of a failure, but I have to remind myself that I did lose 90lbs. which is still great. There's really no point in updating since things are the same, but if anything changes and I finally get my act in gear and lose some more weight I will be sure to start posting here again. Good luck to you all in your journeys~ -Jennifer 4/13/03 I bet you thought I forgot all about my progress pictures. Well I didn't! I found out that my roomate has a webcam, so I took some new progress pics with his camera (which is of even crappier quality than mine). So even though I don't look any different, go ahead and check them out. I know that I've been sabotaging myself lately. It is my own fault I haven't really been losing weight. But once again I am back on the Weight Watchers and doing well. In the last week I've lost like 9lbs.! So hopefully I can actually stay on the plan this time and maximze my weight loss. Wish me luck. Oh yeah, and new measurements today, too. 3/30/03 *sigh* I know, I'm bad. . .I'm just so mad at myself. I know I'm not trying hard enough, or even at all, to make this surgery work. It is my own fault, and I am stupid. But I am going to keep trying. Things are weird because I moved and I had to cancel my old gym membership since there are no 24 Hour Fitness clubs around here. Maybe I will look into Bally, but I hear it's more expensive. Until I get my ass in gear again, I don't really see the point of posting my weight and measurements much since I've gone back and forth between 212 and 216 for like 2 months now. But I did do them today, and so even though they are about the same, here are my new measurements. Oh yeah, and I finally made it to the beach and did not feel like vomiting or passing out on the way back up the cliff. Yay me! Goal. 3/11/03 8 month anniverssary! I can't post a progress pic though because my webcam isn't set up and even if it was my new computer room (I moved) doesn't have enough space for a full length webam shot. As soon as I get all my stuff unpacked I will figure out how to amend this situation. So don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the site! 3/2/03 Well, I finally took new measurements after a long protest since I wasn't losing weight. I've actually somehow gained 2lbs., which is really pissing me off. But somehow I still managed to lose inches. Granted, I've been eating very poorly lately due to some depression (got to stop eating to make me feel better!), but I have been walking a hell of a lot around campus and I take the stairs every day to my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor classrooms. So hey, maybe I've just gained some muscle. 2/17/03 New measurements, but you don't need to bother looking since they are the same. I've been avoiding this place because I am mad at this major plateau. I also kept on forgetting to take my measurements in the morning, which would probably have made me shrink a bit, so I finally just took them tonight. I can't ever wake up early enough to take measurements on weekdays, and my weekends have just been really busy. Hopefully the scale and tape measure will start moving again soon. 1/26/03 New measurements. 1/25/03 I finally put up my Hawaii pictures, and I also added more pictures including my hospital pic and my pic with Carnie Wilson. These pics won't be up forever since I don't have the space for them, so enjoy while you can. 1/13/03 New measurements. I'm finally doing really well with my eating and water intake. Yay Weight Watchers! |
