Husband 2.0

John has decided to get the gastric bypass surgery. I am very excited to take this journey with him. Our marriage will be so much better when we are both more active and healthy. I have decided to add him to my blog so I can brag about his progress. He had surgery today, February 9, 2010 (almost a year after mine), and it went very well. I am so proud to be married to him. As he drops the pounds and gains quality of life, I will post every step of the way. I will update about his weight and measurements monthly as well as his new adventures. Together we are gonna be a power couple in our own right!

Week 50

Original weight: 295

Weight when I got home after surgery: 283

Last week's weight: 174

Today's weight: 172

Weight loss this week: 2

Total weight loss: 123

I am down 2 pounds this week. That is way better than last week's gain. I hope next week is equally as rewarding. I have a one week gap in my boot camp schedule so I have my fingers crossed that I will not have to give a bad report next week.

Week 49

Original weight: 295

Weight when I got home after surgery: 283

Last week's weight: 173

Today's weight: 174

Weight loss this week: gained 1

Total weight loss: 121

I am super bummed out and discouraged by this 1 pound weight gain. I have worked my butt off (literally) at boot camp the last 3 weeks and my diet hasn't changed so I don't know how this is possible. My brother thinks it's because I am working out harder than I ever have and I am gaining muscle but losing inches. I just hope that next week my weight drops and I can get back on track! Here is a sad face to really hit the bummed out factor home :(

Week 48...12 Months!

Original weight: 295

Weight when I got home after surgery: 283

Last week's weight: 175

Today's weight: 173

Weight loss this week:2

Total weight loss: 122

Monthly Measurements (inches lost since last month):
Chest: 2"
Arms: 3/4"
Waist: 1/2"
Hips: 1 1/2"
Thighs: 0"
Calves: 0"

This was a bad month for numbers on the scale but a great month for numbers on the measuring tape. I can't believe I lost 1 1/2 inches in my hips. That is awesome and so motivating. When I saw that I lost 2 MORE inches in my chest, I was kinda bummed but then I realize that's why God made plastic surgeons. I am just happy that my hard work is showing up in inches. Hopefully next month is just as rewarding! I love my boot camp...it has given me a new found love for working out. I am currently training for a 5k mud-run and I know that boot camp combined with my training will not only make me stronger it will make me smaller too.

Week 47

Original weight: 295

Weight when I got home after surgery: 283

Last week's weight: 175

Today's weight: 175

Weight loss this week:0

Total weight loss: 120

So this was a big fat disappointment. I was hoping to lose a lot of weight this week since I started boot camp. I work very hard at boot camp and my muscles felt it all week long. Unfortunately the scale did not my reflect my efforts. I am expecting a drop in weight this week and I hope the scale is on board with my plan! In any case, I feel good about my workouts this week. I can already tell that I am getting stronger.

Week 46

Original weight: 295

Weight when I got home after surgery: 283

YAY! A loss is a loss. My weight loss has slowed lately but next week I am hoping for a big loss. I begin an all women boot camp 3 nights a week for 1 month starting Monday. This should kick my metabolism into high gear. I still have 45 pounds to lose. My goal is to be there by August.
