umm, that teal top is so flattering on you!! you are doing awesome!!

I just wanted to scream out on my LBT blog about how I'm no longer Obese, I'm just plain old Overweight. wOOOhOOOO!! Being 14 weeks pregnant, I havent gained weight, infact I've dropped a pound every 2 or 3 weeks. BUT, my clothes are getting tight, so I'm glad I didnt get a chance to throw my fat clothes away!! My skinny jeans are getting too tight around my tummy, so I have to go back to my bigger size, problem is the a$$ is so baggy, I look stupid. So, I bought a nice comfy skirt, and I'm thinking about buying some more....

would like to see a picture of this cuteness!!

I get nakey before a weigh in at home. kekeke. Today I stood on the scale with clothes (was busy), and it said what it did yesterday when I was nakey. So that means, I lost some weight!! I cant wait for tomorrow when I take a shower (and have to get nakey again, so can have a quick peek at the scale again!!)

I'd only say it's alot because you are pregnant. I think 5cc's in one fill is a bit crazy too. I mean, I thought the whole point was working your way up, until you reach the perfect amount. Then your body gets used to it/you lose some weight, so you get a little more, etc etc. I got 2 fills for 3.5 ccs, and got 1 cc out when I found out I was pregnant. So with 2.5cc's, I've still lost 10+ pounds (I cant remember, I havent been keeping track how much I lost since I got pregnant). I dont feel restricted, but I still eat 1/3 of what I used to. If you feel fine being so restricted, and feel comfortable you're getting enough nutrients for baby, I say everythings fine. But if theres any issues, it wouldnt hurt to get a little out.... So, how do you feel??

Waaahoo!!! Keep up the good work!!

I think you'll be at 175, and flying past, in no time girl! I bet this time the scale is nice to you!!

So my first goal was 131lbs. Now that I think about it, thats crazy. Sure, I got weight loss surgery, I have something helping me lose weight, but I still have to be realistic!! Thats my dream weight, my dream goal. I dont remember being this weight. I think I need to set an attainable goal first, and once I reach that, I can go for more from there. So my new goal is 151lbs. I was that weight when I met my husband. And I was happy. When I get to there, I will be happy, and anything else will be a bonus. I am now 191lbs, which puts me half way to this new goal. I've lost 40lbs since Feb 13th. It's amazing. I want more, but I cant at the moment. But I'm grateful 40lbs are gone for now. Yay for me!!

yeah, I've been looking for you!! Good to hear youre still alive and doing well!! Did you really get banded 3 months ago? feels like it was just yesterday!! Well youre doing great!! And by the way, 170 is a totally attainable goal. I think your PS is smart to tell you to wait until you get there, or at least in the 190's. Dont sell yourself short, it'd suck to get a TT at 215-220, and then get down to 170 and want another one....

I think the port has a chance to move a little. Especially the first time after surgery, I did, and happily would do it again under an x-ray. My doc does all mine under x-ray, but he has a machine in his clinic. He pokes me only once, fast and precise. then its's all done. I wouldnt want to have him dig around looking for the port!!

your clothes fitting better is the thing you should focus on. My scales go up and down depending on what time of day it is, if I just ate, if I just went to the loo, etc. even my doc's scale adds 3-4 pounds onto my home scale number.... (might be because I get naked at home trying to make it lower!) Youre doing great, someday soon you'll be in onderland FOR GOOD!!

Wow. I was 231 when I started, but I had no style. I felt ugly in everything I wore, I never felt pretty. You look so stylish in the 240's. It's just amazing the difference confidence can make. Lend me some of yours!! Sorry to hear about all the stressful things in your life at the moment, but if you still managed to lose 0.8lbs, it means youre still in charge of yourself. Keep at it!!
