Half-way to goal....

I am so excited to finally be able to say I am half-way to my goal of 115 (maybe a little less, we'll just have to see how I feel when I get there). My weight loss is fairly slowish and keeps fluxuating up and down by a pound or two. It's weird. I was 165.2 on Monday, 167.0 on Tuesday and then back down again to 165.2 again today. Arggh!! I don't know if it's something I'm doing, effect of my thyroid meds or maybe both? It's driving me nuts, but at least I am still losing and I'm still fitting into smaller clothes. People have actually used the term "svelte" and said that I'm shrinking away". I have to laugh, because I think elementary school was the last time I could have been referred to as svelte. I just turned 40 last week and I am still so glad that I got the band. My goal is to get as close to I can to my goal by my 1 year anniversary on 09/08/11.
