Hi YÁll!<br><br>Well the snow has all gone and the Spring flowers are blooming and birds are arriving, its getting quite warm in the sun so I guess Spring is here and the Summer will be soon! Jim came home for the summer last week YAY! and he got the job at the open air museum near here again, so he can earn some money :) I love the summer mainly coz Jim is around, but I hate it if it gets too hot coz I just feel like melting. I guess that's part of the downside of being my size.... In the winter I can cover up with big coats and sweaters etc but in the heat I have to wear light clothes like shorts and shirts, and you cant hide the tummy and the fat rolls under those :( So I guess folks will just have to put up with seeing me as I am. I'm bigger this year than I was last coz then I had the balloon and I couldn't eat much, but I've had a winter of lovely feeding so I guess I'm probably as big as I ever was..... Jim hasn't persuaded me to get on the scale yet and I'm dreading the result when he does. I've tried on a few of last year and the year before's gear and some of it is way too tight, but some fits Ok still :)<br><br>Its around now that I wish I was half the size, coz then I could move around easier and not feel like I'm going to just melt in the heat.<br><br>Anyway, have a great Summer Guys :)<br><br>Hugz<br><br>Katie

I've been feeling so much better since I had the balloon out! I just didn't feel great with it in. Its hard to say just how I didn't, but now its out I feel happy, I sleep better and I wake up looking forward to what the day will bring and what I will get to eat today! OK so I'm putting back on the weight I lost, but I don't care, its just great to feel like normal again LOL.<br><br>Jim is coming home for Halloween YAY so maybe we will go out for a meal G. I hope so.<br><br>Have a great Halloween guys!<br><br>Hugz<br><br>Katie

<br>We had a great time. We drove around in his car looking at cool places like Ghost towns. We went to Trout Lake, which isn't a ghost town but is VERY old like a prospector's town. There's a real old hotel still being used and we had coffee there. We went to Beaton which is quite near Trout Lake too. There's not much there now, just a few old wood buildings. Jim took a pic of me outside one. Those old guys must have been real skinny, coz there's no way I could get through the door LOL. It was locked anyway so I didn't try. We went to lots of other places too.<br><br>Jim came back from school for Thanksgiving last night. He brought some humongeous chocolate bars and took a pic of me eating one G. I think it would be better if I didn't wear that belt. Its the only place it will fit LOL. I think I'm losing my waist. I did have one but since I've been eating more again its kinda disappeared. Weird.<br><br>Happy Thanksgiving!<br><br>Hugz<br><br>Katie

<br>Hey<br><br>I had it out on Aug 13th. I didn't feel very well for a day or 2 I guess its that stuff they use to numb your throat so the can put tubes down it. It feels GREAT not to feel like bloated and hungry at the same time all the time! I lost 46 kilos, 16 inches from my hips/lower tummy (I guess mostly the tummy, the hips look just as big LOL) and 12 inches from the waist, like after the balloon was out. With it in I guess there wasn't a waist LOL as it made my tummy stick out a lot. It sure felt like it did and I could feel it all the time. Jim said he could see it but he guessed other people wouldn't notice. I think it made me look like I was kinda pregnant. It was weird coz I went all flabby and floppy and soft all over. Before I was kinda firm and my tummy felt quite hard under the fat, so you could like bounce off it, but it lost all that. Mom says I look better for losing some, Jim says he liked it best before I lost and Dad just grins and says he loves me whatever my size and how I look :)<br><br>I did try to eat kinda sensible for a while and then I went on a holiday with Jim for 8 days and kinda gave up and ate loads :) It felt GREAT to be able to eat real food again and feel FULL for a while and not just bloated. Jim always takes me to great places and makes sure I get real full LOL. I gained 5 kilos since the balloon came out and I guess it was mostly Jim's fault LOL!<br><br>He's back at college again now so I'm TRYING to be sensible again but its HARD.<br><br>Hugz<br><br>Katie

Hey Everyone<br><br>I weighed again yesterday its 227 kilos. I lost 40 kilos now and 12" off my hips/tummy. I think its slowing down though. I guess its kinda good that I lost some more.. I'm having the balloon taken out in about 3 weeks. YAY!!!! Haven't booked the flight to Toronto yet though.<br><br>Mom is already on at me to make sure I'm used to small portions (I'm not - I hate it) and keep on losing weight even without the balloon. Jim says Hey you'll be able to eat loads again like you did before! I guess its a bit easier to get around with a bit less weight but it doesn't make much difference. I still get puffed if I walk far and my knees still hurt a bit. Otherwise I feel just the same and guys still look at me just the same saying OMG she's ginormous. I don't know if I should try to lose more (it will be VERY hard not to eat big portions again) or if I should just not worry and have fun in buffet restaurants LOL. Do you guys have any thing to suggest?<br><br>Love n Hugz<br><br>Katie

Hi Y'All<br><br>I weighed this morning its 232.9 kilos so its still going down.....<br><br>I can get around a bit more now so I went to a car show and shine near here with Jim last Sunday and we met up with another guy we know called Jason. When Jim is away at college sometimes Jason takes me out for a meal LOL. He took a snap of me walking (a rare sight LOL) and I thought I'd put it here so my friends can see it. <br><br>Have a great w/end.<br><br>Hugz<br><br>Katie

On Sunday it was 238.6 kilos. I think its getting a bit easier to move around and I managed to move some stock from the stock room to a shelf at the filling station! The room is very small (OK for most people I guess) and hard to turn round in it but I did it!<br><br>I'm still SOOO tempted by all those choccy bars just next to me at the checkout! There's a guy who buys me one sometimes, and Jim does too of course!<br><br>Have a great week.

Jim came round yesterday and we weighed - I'm down to 244 kilos. I lost 2.6 ks this week I don't know why coz I think I ate as much as last week (it was only 1.8 ks last week). Hey I've lost 6" from my tummy and 5" from the waist and 24 ks since I started. The Dr thinks it should be more :(<br><br>Its a long weekend this w/end coz its Victoria Day in Canada so a public holiday today. So I don't have to go to the filling station today. We have guests coming for dinner tonite and Mom and I are cooking roast lamb with new potatoes and broccoli and roasted parsnips and a BIG cheesecake with cream and chocolate :)) I'm just a bit sad I won't be able to eat nearly as much as I could before the balloon..... :(<br><br>Have a great day!

At Sunday's weighing I was 248.4 kilos! Lost a bit more even though Jim kept tempting me LOL. Also I got a holiday job at the gas station here. I work 4 hour shifts 2 to 6 pm on Mondays Wednesdays & Fridays. Mostly its sitting at the checkout and lots of guys pay at the pumps so I don't have to do anything, but I serve cigarettes and candy and drinks and stuff and the occasional guy who wants to pay cash. I did the first one yesterday. I was quite tired after it. Mom takes me and Dad fetches me in the evening. I get $10 per hour! Jim came in and filled his car and bought me some Snickers and Mars bars. I think he doesn't want me to lose too much weight..... he's BAAAADDDD! But I love him!
