1 year Bandiversary
Aug 08, 2010
Today is my anniversary. Its been one year and I ust hit 175, wow that's cool. I know that seems slow to some, 30 lbs in a year but to me its friggin amazing to lose anything at all. After years of working my ass off in the gym and distryong all my efforts by being constantly hungry its unreal to not have hunger and be able to stick to a healthy eating plan. I celebrate every single pound, every one is such a victory.
I am now 10 lbs from my goal, I don't think I will look the same though as I looked at 165lbs 10 years and 3 kids ago lol and think I will probably readjust my goal when I get there and think about going for an extra 6 lbs or so, all the loose skin on my tummy from 3 pregnancies and 3 c-sections changes my whole body.
This seems to be a good restriction for me, I am not hungry and can still eat a little bit of just about everything. Some days are tighter than others and I am not sure what influences that but I have noticed if I am in a rush and do'nt eat all day or just drink smoothies then I have to be REALLY careful at dinner time as I seem to get tighter if I miss solid food for more than a few hours.
I need to find a way to get omegas down though, I have full body aches and pains and joint pain, I am convinvinced I hae transient fibromyaglia as it comes for weeks then goes away for a while and then comes back again. Omegas are such an essential thing for you body I have to find a liquid form.
170 here I come!
3rd goal met

Finally down below 180. Wow its amazing every time you set a goal it feels like you will never get there and you struggle and struggle with it and then bam, you have passed it and you are looking at your next goal. It was a year goo this time I was fighting just to get to 205 and felt like it was an impossibly and here I am more than 25 lbs from there!
Had my third refill since being defilled and am now at 4cc. I am not hungry at all but am limited to liquids and mushies at the moment which I'm okay with since the scale moves so slowly for me and this will speed it up provided I can get good nutrition in which I think I am managing so far. Have been going to kickboxing this month and injuries seem to be holding up okay to the workouts.
back to the gym

I am at abouat 3cc now, down from 4cc I was at before I injured myself so I need at least one more fill to get to that sweet spot but I am well on my way and feeling back on track again. Yesterday I was 181 which is only a lb from my next goal!
Its definately a process and an exercise in patience but I am getting there, one little lb at at time:)

2nd fill
Oct 25, 2009
I am trying to focus on protein first, then veggies, then carbs and trying to stick with the right kinds of carbs. Not drinking with meals is still difficult but I think I am getting much better at it and getting better at staying away from liquid calories and focusing on solid foods as much as possible.
I am encourage by the change in how I feel and my hunger level and feeling like I am making good progress.
