Chris (my husband) and I have worked out two days in a row. I feel like such a obese cow right now. I don't know why, I should be feeling good. I know I shouldn't but I weigh myself through out the day and of course I gain weight due to all the water I drink and whatever else I consume and it makes me get all down and discouraged. I need to stop that BS and just weigh in the mornings. I cannot wait to be at 200 lbs!! I know I need to take it one lb at a time but when I reach 200 I can comfortably fit into ALL of my old jeans. That is where I left off at weight watchers. I went from 275 lbs to 190 and then gained it all back. I am hoping with the band I will never see 200 lbs again (once it is gone of course), even when I am pregnant. I did weigh 220 last week but I was sick so once I started eating again I came back to my normal 224. My goal was to weigh 220 (firm) by 3-31-08. I am going to work hard to achieve it!!

Well, I haven't kept up with this blogging as well as I had hoped. I did horrible the last couple days due to poor choices at the family gatherings over the Easter weekend. UGH... but today I have gotten back on track by eating (drinking rather) nothing but smoothies. They are really filling and delicious. I have also gotten back to drinking my 64 oz + of H2O. I think you are supposed to drink half your weight in ounces so I need to step that up as well. Anyway, we had a wonderful Easter holiday aside from me gaining 50 lbs. Chris and I are going out of town this coming weekend to one of the resorts for a mini vacation. I cannot wait. We don't typically eat out, instead we cook at the resort so food shouldn't be an issue. I hope the weather is nice so we can get some long walks in. Until then, it's smoothies and school and hopefully me getting off my F@T @$$ and walking.

I was banded on 8-24-07. I have lost about 53.5 lbs so far. I should have lost a lot more by now but I have just recently started exersicing! I am currently at 220 and cannot wait to get under 200. I am hoping to amp up my almost non existing work out routine and reach that goal by the middle/end of May. I was having an incredibly difficult time sticking to 900 calories that I am supposed to be eating each day. I think I was eating closer to 1200 and on really bad days 1400 but after my last fill which was on 2-29-08 I have started eating smoothies more and more and I have dropped 16.5 lbs. My husband bought me the magic bullet which works wonderfully and it really helps with portion control. I make my slim fast shakes in the bullet and I also make fresh fruit smoothies that taste delicious. I will get around to posting some of the recipes. Well, I better get off here but I will try to write more soon.
