Come on 50 LBS! I'm waiting...

I am 49 pounds down...I wanted to have lost 50 before the dr., but it doesn't seem that's in the plan.  I'm not getting discouraged.  I've increased my walking to 3 miles a day.  I'm watching what foods I eat.  So, since I KNOW that I'm doing everything I can, I have decided not to worry.  I have confidence that I will lose it eventually.  I am hoping to lose 70-80 more pounds.

Starting weight 258... Current weight 209. :)

Will post pictures soon... 

Getting used to my new stomach

I think I am used to my new stomach.  I have learned how to discern how much I can eat compared to a normal person size meal.

I'm walking 2 miles in the morning and 1-2 miles in the evening.  I feel SOOO much better!  Finally, I'm getting to change clothes.  This week I am cleaning out my closet and getting rid of those size 26s! I'm thrilled.  Now, I'm wearing some 20's..

Although my weight loss is slow at 1-2 pounds a week (sometimes 3 pounds),  I like seeing it slowing going down.

For those that wonder:  My weight before surgery was 258 (highest weight was 259)... my current weight is 210!  (48 lbs gone)...

THRILLED THRILLED THRILLED!

Every now and then I get afraid that something may happen and it will be like all my weight losses before, a few pounds off and then the climb begins again.  I am being very conscientious about the fat in my food and the sugars.  I make sure that everything I eat has less than 5grams fat... and 15 grams sugar.

Overall, I think I'm doing good.  I have a dr.'s appt on June 28.  Let's see what they say.
