First 50 lbs!!!

Jun 26, 2012

Yesterday June 25, 2012 made me officially 6 weeks post op and I am officially down 50 lbs (21 pre-op and 29 in 6 weeks).  (I don't do the tenths of a pound because my scale tends to be off +/- .4)  I am pretty excited about that, but it comes with mixed reviews!  When I was pre-op I gave myself 3 months to lose 50 pounds and thought that was pushing it so to be 1.5 months out and to be down 50 pounds really is amazing...BUT...I have been in a sort of stall for weeks and that has been really frustrating especially with the little amount that I am eating!  The first 40 something pounds flew off and then NOTHING!  That was enough to drive me crazy!  I only weigh on Mondays now because during the stall I was getting way too frustrated and upset watching the numbers not move, but I think not watching the scale has been good for me and yesterday was my first lost in a while and I was pretty relieved!  I keep double checking the calculator to make sure it's REALLY 50 lbs gone!  I'm afraid to get back on the scale and find out I've been reading it wrong or something! 

My co-workers are noticing the difference, my boyfriend noticed the difference immediately...especially just how differently I feel in his arms!  That made me smile!  It's nice for people to tell you you look good or to notice the change so I focused on that during that stupid stall!  My clothes are fitting very differently, my face looks different in pictures...I love it!

I finally went back to my trainer and I've lost a lot of strength during my time off...not happy about that, but ready to get back to work and get back in the gym more regularly.  But so far so good!  The first 50 is GONE!  GOOD RIDDANCE!!!! 

Stay tuned....
