1/5/2009 Update (8 weeks out)

Jan 05, 2009

I am now 8 weeks out as of tomorrow.  I got on the scale today and it said 245, down from 284.  That is a total loss of 39 pounds.  I may have lost a little more - it seems I am retaining some water today.

Although I am happy to have those pounds gone I really thought I'd have lost more by now.  Perhaps I am a slow loser.  As of today, I am making myself exercise and trying harder to make my food choices lower in fat.  I've also probably been having too many carbs this past week - kinda splurging because of the holidays.  That is behind me and we will see how it goes.  Even if I loss just 10 pounds a month, by my 6 month surgiversary I'll have dropped 80 pounds - nothing to sneeze at for sure!! 

Things do really get better after the 6 week mark - it seems I can take bigger swigs of water and I am now able to eat 1/2 cup of food, which really is a good thing as it helps me get my protein in for the day!
