11-Month Update

Feb 20, 2009

Here's my 11-month update:

The Numbers:
I've lost a total of 102.8 lbs: 
    1.2 lbs in the last month
    I guess I really lost 3.2 lbs as I had to lose the 2 lbs I gained on the cruise!
My BMI is 25.6 - I'm hoping to be Normal by my 12-month update!
I'm only 7.2 lbs away from my goal!
I've lost a total of 66 inches, 5 in the last month:
     13.5 inches from my waist 
     11 inches from my bust 
     8 inches from my chest 
     13.5 inches from my hips
     4 inches from my upper arm 
     1 inch from my elbow
     4.5 inches from my thigh
     3 inches from my calf
     3 inches from my knee
     3.5 inches from my neck 
     1 inches from my ankle
I've lost 93.5% of my excess weight per my goal
In January I consumed an average of 1145 calories/day
     31.6% came from fat (goal = <30%) 
     37.4% came from carbs (goal = <30%) Oops!
     31% came from protein (goal = >40%) Yikes!
I drank on average 63.3 oz of water/day (goal = > 64 oz/day)

What I've noticed:   
I've gone from size 24 to size 7-8 pants. I'm now fitting into the odd size 6!
I'm also wearing size M tops, sweaters & coats.  
My shoe size has even decreased by a size
     My feet aren't as wide as they used to be.
I continue to get compliments weekly. 
I'm able to eat more foods & my daily caloric intake has increased.
     I need to control my snacking.
Despite my slower weight loss, I'm still losing inches.
     I'm amazed that I lost 5 inches after only losing 1.2 lbs.
     
During this time:
I've continue to go to Brampton & Durham Coffees.
I led another York Region Support Group. 
I'm continuing to track everything I eat.
I'm back to my exercise routine.
     I'm doing the treadmill 2-3X/week, doing Pilates1X/week & walking the dog.
I continue to get B-12 injections monthly from my PCP. 
I've started the PS Consult process. I've seen my first PS
     T w lipo, Breast Reduction = $8K
     So excited! I'm planning to have surgery in December.
I've adjusted my 12 month goal:
     I'm hoping to get to a Normal BMI by 3/19/09 
     This is 134.4 lbs or 3.4 lbs to lose.

So, I'm still loving my WLS. Absolutely! Now I can't wait for the final stage - Plastics!
