I am now 46 pounds down!!

4 pounds to losing FIFTY POUNDS! WOW!!!

6 pounds to be in the 130's!

10 until my Labor Day challenge goal (135!)

We went to New Orleans this past weekend...i LOST WEIGHT while gone! WOO HOO! I worked out while gone, ate good at most meals, but ate what i wanted when we went to a nice place (cheesecake bistro!) and i STILL LOST!!

I was so worried i wouldn't be able to eat, or would get stuck, since no one knows i've had this....and it was all fine!!

of course not one person said a SINGLE work about me having lost the weight.....50 pounds was not noticed? REALLY?

oh well.... I haven't lost it for THEM...i did it for ME, and i feel SO MUCH BETTER about MYSELF!

Wanna B thin again...is almost there!

It's now 16 weeks out and i'm down 44 pounds!
out of the 150's!
no longer be obese!
12 pounds to my labor day challenge goal (i hope to beat that!)
17 pounds to be the weight i was when i got married! (would love to meet THIS for labor day!)
27 pounds to be the lowest weight i've been since having childern and my 'goal' weight.
32-37 pound to my OMG goal!
My birthday is at the end of Oct. and i would LOVE to be at goal by then. it would take a lot of work, but not impossible! It's a little more than 18 weeks away. that's an average of 1.5 pounds a week...that's doable! Then i could maintain my weight (or get to my OMG goal) until the beginning of the year, when we would be ready financially for the cost of PS!

I had to go to the DR. (my LAP-BAND® dr.) last week because after 16 weeks, the incision for my port was irritated and had infection! he said it was on the surface, and not to worry, it would be ok and not cause probelms. it's already doing great. he said it was probably the suture knot being rejected by my body....i had the same thing happen for one of my sections.

he was impressed with my progress, and said no to a fill. i wasn't there for one, and really didn't think i needed one since i've been steadily losing again. I will definitely wait until my next cycle is over to decide when and if i need a fill. The Dr. really thinks i'm at my sweet spot. some days i think yes, others, not. some days i think i should be able to eat more, others, i'm thinking i need a fill! LOL

I finished a month of curves, and i am pleased with the results. I lost 8 1/2 pounds and 10"!

I sent an email to a Plastic surgeon my SIL used to ask questions about WHEN to start the process of PS. I wanted to know when i should go in for my first consult (if his waiting list is long...i don't want to wait 6 months after i have my appointment if i'm ready to have surgery. i rather go 6 months early, find out what i will have done and the cost. and put it off if i'm not ready...rather than be ready and have to wait! )

I can't wait to hear back!!

I did curves YEARS ago because i wanted an all women's gym to go to. after i lost lots of weight, i started at the gym with my brother who body builds and LOVED it!


Not confident enough to go to the gym at the times i can go (in the evenings when it's probably the busiest. so, for now. i will go to curves.

I seem to be at a standstill right now. Just when i was thinking maybe i need another fill (i'm really not sure...) i went and had my very first PB today! I think i was just eating too fast. it was on grilled fish and veggies. oh well, i guess 120 something days before it finally happened to me wasn't bad! I'm wondering if my cycle is coming around again. i seemed to have gotten tighter this time last month also. i have also been drinking coffee every morning because i'm tighter in the morning. i'm even reminded by water that i have to SIP SIP SIP in the mornings. this morning, i didn't drink coffee because i went to curves early and didn't want to only have coffee in my to work out.

I plan to have PS when i get closer to my goal also. I've been starting to look for surgeons in my state and possibly in TX since i'm closer to Houston than i am to New Orleans. I want a full TT and breast lift/possible implants also.

I'm VERY short, so i need to get into 6's or 4's. if i wanted to get to the lower end of my ideal weight, gosh, i would be in 0's....but that's not gonna happen. not after 4 kids. (i wore kids sizes until i had kids!!)my smallest size i got into after the first 2 kids has been some 4's...but that lasted a VERY SHORT TIME before i started gaining it all back again! :-(
