LoseIt!

204 views

Another month gone by! In some ways, it is hard to believe that it has been over 7 months since my surgery. In other ways, it just seems like it could've been a few weeks ago!

 

I was only slightly dissappointed when I realized that my loss for the month was 4.8 pounds. I mean pre-surgery, that would have been a really big deal! It is 60% of my monthly average. So the irritating portion of my brain says that isn't enough, but the other portion (the one that I CHOOSE to listen to) says that I should be proud of myself. I hit a plateau this month and instead of quitting in discouragement, I hit it head on. I learned a lot about myself and my body and I got myself back on track. THAT is the difference between me NOW and me BEFORE. I like it!!

That little lady is on the move! :tt2:

 

Today, I took my monthly measurements which I take in 13 places (neck, upper arms, wrists, bust, waist, belly, hips, thighs, calves). I am absolutely thrilled that I lost 11.25" this month. I have been tracking weight loss/measurements for eight months to include my preop diet. In those eight months, this is the 3rd most inches lost, but the LOWEST pounds lost. That just goes to show how important it is to measure!! It sent me from "not being disappointed" to being "absolutely thrilled." :thumbup: YAY!

 

I have to go sit through some boring CPE webinar. Boo! Talk to you all later!!

Every loss is just that, a loss. And 11.25" holy cow! How did you do that????? When I started this journey I read that people measured themselves and I said I was going to do it, but I forgot to do it. Now I am going to march into the other room and have my husband measure me. Keep up the good work. I am very proud of you. You go girl!

Congrats on your lost. Measuring yourself was so smart and like Bklynike, I am going to do that also. As for my husband to help me, I guess I can't do it right away cause he is still in bed............LOL But it will get done this morning. Thanks for the great idea.
