Silly observations

My wedding ring is loose- which means my fingers have lost weight.  I think that's kinda funny.

'a family member' (or 2) are larger than I am- I'm not the 'big one' anymore.  Yay.

Today I weight 218.  I'm so glad to be out of the 220's.  That seemed to take forever to get out of.  I'm still kinda 'bloaty' so I hope that in the next day or two that I lose a few more lbs when that's over with.  I looked at my BMI and so far I've lost 10.3 BMI points.  I have almost 13 left to go.

Today my mom told me my skinny sister just lost more weight and is 141 right now (she's also tall) - so that's about my end weight goal- I won't be as skinny as her- but almost if I hit that number. 

I'm 8 lbs away from being 1/2 way to my weight loss goal.  Then the next hurdle is getting under 200, then under 180 (that's 100 lbs lost).

I haven't been wearing bracelets- ha- the whole point of the blog- out the window- at least for now.  I still might do it- I'll see.

Results

Month one:  Lost a total of 30 lbs!

I'm a week into month 2 and am at 7 down right now. 

Bad news- nothing is staying down-  but the weight is falling off... not back to work yet- I feel ok as long as I'm not eating.  I do get tired out quickly though.  My energy levels need a swift kick in the butt.

I have a decent(ish) waistline again

I looked in the mirror sideways and guess what?  I didn't cringe!  I actually look ok - things are slimming down- quite a bit actually- which I am very glad about.  I started - boo-- but the scale says 231.  Usually I gain 5 lbs so if I lose 5 in a few days- that will be great!   My mom got me a dress at Target the other day- it fit- but I think it will look better after I lose another little bit of weight (like 15 or so).

228 today

I've gotten past the 50 lb mark and my next little hurdle was getting below the 230's.  Today the scale said 228.  Yay.  I didn't dare step on it again in case it was a mistake or something.   I hope the 220's go much faster than the 230's did.  That seemed to take forever. 

6 more days and I will be at the one month point.  So far since surgery I've lost 30 lbs in month one.  That's OK I guess. 

I'm hoping for month two to have me lose at least 15- maybe 20- that would be cool.

50 down since last summer

Today we went to my MILs house for swimming with Evan's cousins.  My sister was there and her and MIL both said they could really tell that I've lost weight.  That's good.  I swam (well its a shallow pool- so more like soaked) and then was supposed to go to my moms house but I just don't have enough energy for that too today.  I'm slowly getting energy- but I'm still really drained.

The scale said 230 today.  I didn't hop back on it to see if it would still say that- I was happy enough and moved along.  Now to tackle the 220's. 


I'm definitely thinner than my MIL now and close to my sisters size- she weighs less than I do (I think) but not by all that much anymore.  Soon I'll be smaller than her.  (this makes me happy)

2 week follow up appt

My 2 week follow up went well.  I lost according to their scales- 11 lbs- which is not correct seeing as I had gained a bit before surgery-- but they were pleased with the amount that I had lost.

I am now allowed to eat REAL FOOD- not just drink stuff.  Yay!  Sipping 'food' is for the birds.   I can have a few things now and each week they add a few more things to the list.  I have a followup appt in 4 more weeks.  I think I weigh 234 today... something like that.  I do feel dehydrated though.  I need to drink way way more than I currently am.   I still can't wait to be out of the 230's.  Baby steps.
