5 Months Later....

Wow! Can't believe it's been 5 months since I got the band. I've lost about 47 lbs. I'm usually about 1 lb a week and I'm okay with that as long as it is consistently at least a 1lb a week.

I really like that people tell me I look skinny sometimes or that I am melting/wasting away. I am wearing some smaller clothes and that feels great. My new favorite store, is still the Goodwill Store.

I'm exercising about 30-45 minutes a day during the week and minimal exercising on the weekends. Now that the weather will start getting nicer, I'll get back to walking my Lab at night.

I'm having more energy and I find that I'll do squats, stretches and walking in place while watching t.v..

I do still struggle with portion size. Should I be more concerned with amount like measuring 3/4 - 1 cup of food or by weight? I get really freaked out if I measuring something that is really light weight, but takes up a lot of space. Maybe someone will have some tips for me. Think I'll actually go ahead and search that on the discussion forums.

Later.
