i guess i'm doing what i did a few months ago when i wouldn't lose for 2 weeks or more, then down 3 pounds at a time..


this morning.... 124

ONE pound to be what the charts say is a NORMAL weight!!
FOUR pounds to goal (until i change it!)

no headache this morning...I hope it doesn't show up again.

I had to leave curves yesterday after 1 round because my head throbbed when i did the machines (i was ok on the recovery boards). then, it made me puke. i left.

ended up taking my imitrex even thought i really didn't want to. i wanted to see if the patch was working.

I can't believe i'm so close to goal.

if i lower my goal to 114, that's 10 pounds to go. (BMI 23)
if i lower it to 109, that's 15 pounds to go. (BMI 22)
although i believe 109 would be too low for ME even though i'm very short.

i guess i'm just thinking out loud.

Wanna B thin again...is almost there!

September 28--125!


2 pounds to a NORMAL weight and 5 to goal (goal for NOW, anyhow!)

Was put on an estrogen patch today to see if it will help my hormonal migraines, i hope it doesn't do crazy things to my body, like me GAIN!!

went back home to visit this past weekend and everyone told me how great i look. that was some GREAT motivation!

went to eat out with my father and did eat very much, he commented on it. I just told him my migraine was making me sick and i was afraid of getting sick if i ate anymore (which was part of it!)

I also went eat with my brothers, mom & step-dad. only mom knows about the band. I was sitting way at the end of 16 people at the table, so no one noticed.. it was OBVIOUS my head hurt (i could barely look up from the glare of the sun coming through the windows) so that was not a problem.

My band seems to be tight right now. not enough that i can't eat or drink, but it is making me REALLY sip in the mornings, NOTHING COLD, and not more than a cup of food...probably even less than that at a time. My TOM is coming again (the reason for the migraines) so i'm sure it's only tight until i start, then i'll be back to my 'sweet spot".

I went into the LAP-BAND® Dr.'s office this morning just to weigh in. it said 128 (i was clothed and shoes on...which is what my scale said when i weighed at home too (125 naked)

she noted it in my chart and said, wow...GREAT JOB!

i asked what was the last weight in the chart. it was 140!

HA! i hope the Dr. sees that! I remember him telling me at that appointment that my body may be happy at that weight. i told him NO WAY!!!

i'm still not 'there' yet. getting closer, but not yet!

Wanna B thin again...is almost there!

Yesterday, Sept 14, 2009....127!

woo hoo!

4 pounds till NORMAL BMI

We had a 'boot camp' game going on at curves (those measurements in the above post), and i WON! you got points for weight loss, inches lost, workouts per week, buying the monthly shirt, having someone visit curves, someone join curves, going to the weight management class. the only thing extra i did was bought the shirt because i liked it. the rest of my points were from inches and weight lost and my workouts. I usually go 6 times a week (i've missed very few saturdays).

I won a PRETTY silver curves overnight bag.

at first i thought, oh, this will make a nice gift to my mom because i just don't use bags often...and that one is not big enough for when we go out of town (it's more for one night).

by the time i drove home, i had changed my mind. it will be PERFECT for my trip to the PS consult (we are sleeping in TX the night of my appointment) and for the night before my surgery!

I'm plugging right along. the weight it coming off steadily...and i'm more than thrilled! EVERYONE has been noticing and commenting on it. these last 10 pounds have REALLY made a HUGE difference in my appearance.


today ended a promotion at curves, so i had to get measured and weighed. It was for 4 weeks.

I lost 11 pounds (according to them...i must have been UP on the day i weighed in and LOW today because i don't recall ever losing 11 pounds in 4 weeks besides in the VERY beginning!) anyhow....

i lost 2" in my boobs
4" in my waist
4" in my abs
3" in my hips
2" in my thighs
1.5" in my arms
HOLY COW! my waist is now 29.5" DOWN from 45" from my first measurements (which isn't from my highest weight! YIKES!) that's 15.5"! I'm only 4'11" (4'10.5" actually...LOL) i was as round as i was tall...or short if you will! LOL

I'm really excited with my arms. i have a little wiggle action going on at the bottom, but very little! muscles are filling it out nicely!!!

my legs, holy moly..... they are TONED UP! i get asked at LEAST 5 times a week now, WHAT do you DO to get your legs so muscular?!

to ME....my face is still big.... everyone says no though. i just have a BIG HEAD...runs in the family. LOL

and my belly. it's the place that just wants to hold on to the very end. in clothes, it's not THAT bad, but nothing fits right, i won't tuck shirts in either. if i could lose the rest, JUST there...i'd be doing good.

my butt could use some fat...it's SOOOO flat. i've NEVER had a butt.

i CANNOT wait until November for the PS appointment. if we hadn't planned a trip around the appointment, i would consider moving it up. i'll survive though, and it will be less time between the consult and the actual surgery this way too. I HAVE to have it in march. THAT can't be moved. we have to make sure taxes are in (we don't want to finance any of it), hubby needs to be able to take off, and my mom needs to be able to help. March is probably the soonest all of those things would fall into place.

I took new pics yesterday. i need to upload them and compare to the 44 pounds lost pics. Oh, i'm 63 pounds down!!!

That's only 8 pounds to my original goal (i'm thinking i'm going to lower it. I'm thinking i will keep doing what i'm doing and if i lose after i get to 120, then i do. GOOD! if i maintain, then good! I'll do that until i see the PS and see what he says. if he thinks i should lose more, then i have time. if he thinks he will take off the parts i'm trying to still get rid of, and take a few more pounds during surgery, then i'll be there already! i want him to have enough fat to do the fat into the bootie like he did for Josie, since i have NO BOOTIE!!)

I got my 6 month blood work script in to go do...it seems like i just did my 3 month (they were a little late sending it, and i took my time having it done)! I still haven't had to get a fill since April 23! I do like going in to the Dr's office though....he always tells me i'm doing wonderful and that i look great. He told me at my last appointment that my body might be happy where i am (i was around 140 or a little less i think).....i wonder what he would say NOW!! I know what i'd tell him.....NOPE, my body isn't happy with THAT...i'm going down, down, DOWN!!!

i LOVE MY BAND!!!!

I don't know if the predisone i'm on (i have poison ivy from yard work) is helping things along or what, but holy cow


....weighed this morning and i'm 130!!!

either i'm at my sweet spot, where i can eat just about anything, but small portions and stay full....or the steriods have UPPED my metabolism and i'm not letting myself eat all day, so i'm losing...but I'll take it!!

7 pounds to a normal weight!

10 pounds to goal!
