Shop in a "regular" store for clothes

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Woke up today and the scale was being kind, said I weighed 196! I got on and off of it about 3,268 times so I could actually beleive it. That means to meet my short term goal of losing 30 pounds by my 30th birthday I have a little over 3 months to go and only 23 pounds to lose so I'm positive that I can make that! That means that I have to lose 1.7 pounds a week. As long as I don't hit that dreaded plateau, I should be ok. I'de love to be at goal by a year out, goal is 150 and today I weigh 196. I'm kicking my own ass!

so I weigh 199 pounds and am still technically "obese" for another 3 pounds, then I'll be "overweight". I've gotton several comments about being too thin. Um...WTF I wear a size 14! My ultimate goal is to be about 150 so I would like to lose another 48 pounds. When I say I want to lose another 30 pounds, people look at me like I have 2 heads. Oh well, I'm going all of this for ME, no one else and I want to be happy. I certainly don't want to lose my curves but c'mon I want to be in the normal range for weight! I did not go through all of this to be overweight, that's for damn sure!

That's all...carry on.

I went back to the states for 3 weeks. I got back to Germany about a week ago. During my trip back I let alcohol and the carb monster enter back into my life...and for what?!? I was up all night last night really thinking about my actions and what I was doing. I finally came up with a conclusion. My husband told me about a month ago that I am perfect the way I am right now and if I lost no more weight that it would be ok with him. I know he said it in the most loving way and he meant well however without even thinking, I started to let myself slide a bit!!!! I still weigh 203 and for ME I want to lost another 30-40 pounds. I have come up with a challege this morning while making my coffee. I will turn 30, November 16th. That gives me 3.5 months to leave my 20's how I think I should, by doing what's best for me! I am going to challenge myself to lose 30 pounds by my 30th birthday. I am cutting out the carbs and the alcohol and I have my eye on the ball!! Wish me luck!!

STOP STRESSING ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT! You have lost 94 pounds since surgery just over 4 months ago. You are down a grand total of 102 pounds since your heaviest. Just because the scale hasn't moved is about a week just means your body is catching up, not that you're done losing weight! You see people on OH all the time who stall for well over a month so stop stressing about just a week's stall!! You knew it would happen, you promised you wouldn't stress about it when it did happen but that's so much easier said then done! 

Love you!
