1 year 83% gone
Aug 16, 2010
WOW..I never thought i would be sitting here 1 year out.( on thursday). I feel like i have come a long way in this journey... Ive just come home from seeing the nut and exerise specialist....
they say i'm doing great i lost 83% of my excess body weight that most wls patients do not always reach that.
my BMI is 26.8... i'd like it to be a 23-24 bmi(= healthy weight of about 140).
I weigh 160! right where the doctor said i could be if i followed everything right.. so that is good? no great? 167 lbs gone from my heighest recorded weight... 167.. thats a overweight person right there... whew!!!!!
i see him again in 6 months and said i can lose 10 lbs in 6 months....and another 10lbs following that.,
but now the nut said to me today that i should expect maybe only a 10 or 15 more lbs loss...
TIME OUT>> HOLD IT>>
id like 20-25 more lbs to come off.. kinda like what the dr is saying
but the NUT said shes being realistic.. phooeey on realistc-ness. i want to be 140-135.. prime weight for my height. but the darn NUT said with my body type its not going to happen..darn big boned family..
Also..
i'm alot smaller on bottom than top it sucks. a reverse pear shape.... i have on a size 10 jeans but they are loose on me within a hour of wearing. gotta yank em up all the time.... ive tried 8's some work some do not soon ill buy a new pair.. i havent had much luck with "used" jeans a few here and there but nothing up to my daily standards? hmmm ill buy a new pair soon i'd liek to wait til i lose a few more lbs tho or until i cant keep the other ones any longer... so yah back to the reverse pear thing....
I'm a large. on top. some mediums.. oh BUT i bought a size small sweater from new york and company but it ran big?button down with a tie around the waist.. grey and has a black fur collar and it was at the goodwill with the tags still on for 6.50! i love the goodwill for some items..
i sound like a clothes whore..wow talk about addiction transfer (i always loved clothes tho) but still dang.
so yah..
i just dont liek my new body shape? i do to a point.... but the saggy skin and the reverse pear shape and i think ive also become a number girl. DONT get me wrong i love the healthy person i've become.. i feel great but i want that size 6.. i want that 140lb ideal weight is that wrong?.. i feel like im still a "big girl" around other girls my age in their size 4's and such..
okay so boo to never being a size 4... but yay to being a "normal" size.. (if i lived in the UK id be about plus size though? thats dam near crazy..)
sorry i keep going off track here with my post . My mind is running every time I write in this darn thing. usually when i see the doctor.. but no one seems to be using OH anymore half of the friends i had are now deleted and the rest havent been on here in months...come on now WLS people we have to stay on track
