8 weeks since surgery!

43 lbs and 24 1/4" GONE FOREVER!

Can't get better than that. Averaged out that's about 5 1/4 lbs per week. WOW! Since the last time i measured I've lost another 10", which is simply amazing! I can really feel it too, which is nice :-)
I think the last time i weighed this little was after Faith was born, unfortunately i quickly gained it back and more in the months after her birth. Oh well it's gone now! For GOOD!

40 lbs in 7 weeks

On thursday i was down exactly 40 lbs from my start weight, at 7 weeks out from surgery :) Today i'm down another pound, so actually 41 now :-)
This surgery is simply amazing!!! I'm not going to pretend it's not super hard work, it surely is, but i'm really feeling like i'm getting the hang of the eating. I can honestly say i don't crave stuff often, and when i do it doesn't last long, it usually a momentary "idea" that pops into my head.
This morning I was figuring out that if you average what i've lost so far it's over 5 lbs per week. Now i don't think this will continue at this rate, but figuring conservatively if i lose 3 lbs per week for the rest of the year, I'll be in the LOW 300's by New Years...WOW I can't even imagine!!

6+ weeks out (10/18/10)

6 weeks out...and FINALLY

broke the damn stall...i lost a whole 1/2 lb, but i'll take it if it means i'm not longer STUCK!

Hoping to start going walking several times a week with my newly unemployed (her choice) walking partner :-)

No change in weight BUT ....

I've lost another 5 1/2" . So even though the scale seems stuck, i am still losing inches. I am confident the scale will start to move downward soon as long as i keep doing what i'm supposed to do :-)

I already have changed size in some apparel items :-) Isn't that great! Overall since surgery I have lost 14 1/4"!!!!!
