Finally met my first OH goal
Sep 19, 2010
Well as of Saturday I met my first published goal of weighing less than 300 pounds. I am a week away from my 3 month surgiversary and have lost 80 pounds since surgery, added to my pre-surgery losses, I have lost 100 pounds total. How great is that! I have been getting compliments from a few people, though only a couple have asked if I have lost weight, I seem to be hiding my loss in clothes that are too big... Lol. I think the biggest loss change I notice is in my waist size, it has shrunk and my stomach is getting smaller. My hips and behind seem the most resistant to change, makes shopping for pants hard, when they fit the hips they are ultra loose in the waist. I am excited to move down belt notches without being able to see the wear marks on the last notch I used. Maybe I will have a lovely hourglass shape when all is said and done... I am still amazed at my lack of hunger and no cravings, I hope it continues for a long time, forever would be great! For once in my life I don't snack on anything, very different in a very good way, I do have to get better at eating my 3 meals a day, some days I only eat breakfast and lunch, not good. I seem to have less hunger now than a few weeks ago, so maybe the extra Ghrelin is gone and the Leptin is finally able to work properly.On another note, I started doing Pilates this week... It is really hard! I have sore muscles where I didn't think I would have any muscles... The program I use doesn't move you to the next exercise until you master the previous ones and let me tell you it will be some time before I move on to the next one... There is this one where you curl all the way forward from laying flat, well I think I need a rope and pulley system to accomplish that right now! Whew, getting tired just thinking of that exercise... Lol! I'm hoping to strengthen my core, improve my balance and flexibility, and get stronger ab muscles. Every little bit gets me further along and helps me push toward my ultimate goals and success...
