I just wanted to give a quick update because it has been a couple of months since my last entry. Busy with my daughter’s wedding and she is now happily married. I've been stuck at 170 for about a month now and went to the fill station and received a small fill. Hopefully this will kick the weight loss back into gear. I haven't had a fill since April. I also haven't exercised in two weeks but I changed that starting yesterday. I'm planning on my first 5K in March 2013! Run for Life!! I have to keep away from those zombies. I think it is going to be fun. Until next time...

I just wanted to touch base and give an update! I am feeling wonderful and very excited. I now weigh 176lb and had to buy some new pants. Yes I bought a size 12 and was grinning like a fool in the dressing room. The feeling was AWESOME! I was feeling really down the last couple of month but since I broke the 180 mark it seems I am back on track and feel great! I am just taking one day at a time. I still keep a food diary which I know really helps me. I am running 3 times a week and do some sort of exercise every day.

Well I saw my surgeon on Wednesday and he is happy with my progess. I guess I just needed a pep talk. We decided on adding some weights for toning. Thank you for stopping by!!

I had my aftercare appointment today and I broke the 180 mark. FINALLY! I weighed in at 178.2 today. After talking to the NP we decided not to do a fill. She stated "You have lost more than 66% of your body mass and we except 50% at the one year mark." She also stated "You have lost a great deal already now you are just going to have to change things up." So we decide to change up my exercise routines and see if a see better results in the weeks to come. I do see my doctor next week and I'm going to see what he has to say and move on from there. I feel so much better after my visit today and I am thankful I am still losing!

Nothing has changed in the last two month weight wise. I'm still hovering between 181 and 182. I seem to have hit a hard plateau and struggling to get over it. I am still sprinting every other day and have added toning exercises on the days I’m not sprinting. I’ve stopped my morning walk at work because it is too HOT to come back presentable, LOL!! I love :wub: the way I feel and can’t wait to drop the next 30 lbs. I do have an aftercare appointment next week and a doctor’s appointment the week after. I really think I need a fill. I have only had two and the last one was in April. Until next month…

I just wanted to stop by and give a quick update. I'm still losing weight at a slow pace. I am a very inpatient person but I'm hanging in there. I feel great and that the most important thing. I have dropped 4 sizes since being banded and it is a great feeling to be out of the PLUS size clothing! I completed week 6 of the C25K and my doc stated he wanted me to continue with sprinting because it burns more calories. So I have been doing this around the neighborhood because the weather has been great and my blue healer loves going with me. I don't know who is in charge me or her. LOL Let’s just says she keeps me going. Also I have been taking a break in the morning and doing a 1 mile walk at work. Had to stop the afternoon walks because it is just too HOT!

Stay strong and clear of the donuts! Someone is always bringing items to work and I just stay clear of out kitchen area all together.

Sports bra and hold those baby if needed. I unfortunately I do not have this problem because they are disappearing on me. LOL

I have noticed some in my legs and I seem to be thinning but nothing defined. Hope that makes since. LOL

I started week 5! I was easier than last week. Which I am happy about because the last few weeks have been killing me. Also had an aftercare appointment today and down to 186! I have managed to loss about 8 lbs for the last few months but not this one. Oh well it has been a tuff one for me but I still lost and I am happy!

Checking in at 186!
