The journey...

Nov 21, 2009

So here I am...nearly 7 months post op and as of this morning, I am down to 235.  I started this journey at 327.  I've been frustrated lately, just wanting to "get there" already but I have to remember where I started and where I'm headed.  It's truly a journey...and I'm trying to keep my eye on the prize. 

I have had 3 fills so far and have about 4cc's in my 13 cc band.  I think I'm at my sweet spot! I need to work on food journaling and exercising.  I've fallen behind in both of those areas, as well as my water intake but I'm still losing slowly and steadily...about 1-2 lbs a week.

When I started this journey, my goal was to lose 100 lbs in the first year.  That is still my goal but I'm thinking I can surpass it if I work really hard.  So...by April 23, 2010...my new goal is to be under 200 lbs. 

Thanks to all of you who have been such great cheerleaders and inspiration to me.  You keep me going, even when I want to quit.
