While my recent pics show that I am doing great, that scale isn't giving me the number that I need. I actually got down to 176, but through this painful experience I literally had to have an ECG done where the doctor had to take everything out of my band back in August of this year. I had expanded my pouch and it was swollen like crazy. I had my first fill since then just last week and I am headed in the right direction. I am now weighing 206. My biggest turning point was when I had some extra cash and wanted to go shopping and realized that I had to SQUEEZE into my size 16's and actually had to go shopping for some size 18's:cursing:. I actually broke down in Lane Bryant. I just knew that I was finished with them.
Needless to say, I am refocused and determined to get to 170 :smile2:. WHile I know it will take me until around January to do that, it will be fine with me. Wish me luck and keep me in your prayers.
I have also decided to have a photo shoot of myself every 4 months, so I can see the progress and continue to celebrate myself in pictures. :smile2:
