Checking in at 229, my May 31 goal!

Hello everyone. I got my first fill this week (well actually it was my second as the dr. had already put about 3cc in the band during surgery, but I didn't know that there was anything in there). Anyway...I am down to 243.5...would be more but my "aunt flo" decided to visit this weekend...she'll be gone soon and I'll be back on track.

Checking in at 173.

The weekend wasn't kind to me weight wise. But I had fun. Back on track today.

Sarah checking in at 196.6. I'm good with that!
