A little over 8 weeks out

I weighed myself this morning and I've lost another 1.6 lbs since Saturday! It's a constant battle to get more exercise. The surgeon wants me to get 45 minutes a day of exercise in but I'm doing good to find 30 minutes a day. However, I did buy a FitBit a couple of weeks ago and I really feel like it keeps me more motivated to be active. 

When I first had surgery I had this high expectation that I could lose 60 lbs in the 3 months between surgery and the end of May. I've lost a little over 30 lbs in almost 2 months now. I'm still really happy about it and try to remind myself of how great that is. Yes, I'm disappointed because I really thought I could lose more. Instead of getting down on myself, I'm trying to use it as motivation to work even harder over this next month. Maybe I can lose another 10 lbs before the end of May!

Another 2 lbs down!

I'm down another 2 lbs. It is really going slowly but at least it is going down. I can really see the weight loss in my face, stomach, and back. I know I've lost weight around my hips too because I'm down a size, but I'm not noticing it as much. I had such big goals to be down a total of 50 lbs by the end of May but I just don't think it will happen.  I'm down 31 right now.

Just another weekend

I'm not going to weigh myself for a few more days so no weight update today. Yesterday was a really lazy day for us, but today I've stayed busy cleaning the kids' rooms and purging their closets and toys. Then I topped it off by purging my closet too. I got rid of all my clothes that are too big. I'll probably have more to get rid of by the first of summer. I even picked up a swimsuit while I was out this evening. It was a size smaller than my last one and fits great, maybe even a little loose. I get a feeling I'll get to buy a smaller one later this summer!!

6 weeks out

It's been 6 weeks since my surgery. As of yesterday I have lost 29 lbs! I had an appointment with my surgeon yesterday. He said my weight loss is great. I'm averaging about 2 lbs a week for the last 3 weeks.  I do need to work on getting more exercise though. My blood pressure is looking better and so is my blood sugar. Neither were that high to begin with but they're even better now.

I started cleaning out my closet yesterday. I found several pairs of pants that are just way too big now. I also found a pair that had been too small that fit me perfectly now! I love it!

25 lbs lighter

Here I am 25 lbs lighter. I still have 65 lbs to go but I know I can do it. It's just slow going right now.
