Dallas, TX--need motivational kick to keep going

[Mommie_of_4 0]

Mommie of 4, I was banded Feb. 18 2008. I have lost over 70 pounds. My goal is still undetermined because I have found that the scales and the size of clothing varies. I have gone from an 18/20 to 12/14. Now, let me tell you that size has been interesting because I tried on a size ten about two weeks ago and got in it, but for me I feel I'm not ready until it hangs on or falls off.

70 pounds since February that's great!! Have you been working out this entire time or did you just start? If you just started working out, do you find that this has produced a greater loss? Do you feel toner?

I walked my mile last night. Im kinda afraid to push it too hard. I want to get back to walking in the morning and at night. Right now my disolving stiches havent dissolved so the waist of my pants rubs against the stiches and Im afraid of harming the stiches by too much activity yet.

I asked if the stiches would come out by themselves, now I wish Id asked how long it takes for them to come out. I could email them, but guess Ill give it another week first. Im a self pay and no insurance to cover anything.

Sweatmeat--you need to update your ticker. It says you've only lost 51lbs--not 70lbs.

What portion of the 70lbs is post-band?

Currently I am in a size 16. I've decided not to have a "goal weight. Instead, I have a goal size of 12 or when I loose so much

weight that my face starts sinking....which ever comes first.
