The scales finally dropped below 200.  Today I am 199.8, down from 201.8 yesterday.  It will probably go back up tomorrow but for today I am claiming it.  I will wait to get my century card until it stays at 200 or below for at least 4 days.

I can now wear a size 14 pants and jeans (if they stretch) and a large or extra large top.  The biggest problem with the top is my batwings.  The only thing I can do for them will be surgery which is not on the horizon in the near future. 

I have been shopping for a new Easter Outfit but am having a hard time finding anything I like.  Most of the dresses & tops have the cap sleeves and I definitely need longer sleeves.  I really didn't want to buy another piece but it looks like if I get anything I will have to.  I am really trying to not spend any more on clothes than I have to.  I am about 30 lbs from my surgeon's goal for expected weight loss. 

I will be happy if I lose those 30 lbs but I really would like to lose 50.  I think anything more than that would be too much for me.  My mother-in-law keeps telling me I should not get below a size 12.  She said I wouldn't be me any more if I did.  LOL  My husband will only say that he wants me to be healthy.  He loves me no matter what size I am.

I am hoping to be able to start exercising soon.  I found the source of my sciaitia is a slipped vertebra and am getting epidural shots to try to fix the nerve.  If that doesn't work I may have to have back surgery.  I am hoping and praying the the shots work. I go back for the second one next week.
