Weekly Weigh In and Comment Frustration

Todays weight 111.8kgs!!! Total loss 19.9 kgs :) Super excited about that result and definately no complaints since its that time of the monthg and all.

I am getting very frustrated with not being able to comment. I think one comment of every ten I actually write seems to be posted. Very frustrating, to all those who have posted new comparison pics - I have commented on how great you are all looking - but blogger is being a bitch and they are not posting. I especially love it when fellow bloggers post comparison pics so I nearly always try on comment when they do. I find it to be very encouraging when people comment and kinda feel that all this work is somehow being validated even when you struggle to see it in the mirror.

Since I had my fill of .3ml at the start of May the scale has made a steady decline. I think I am at the point where I no longer need a fill, I just need to start watching what I am eating and just keep plugging away. My next appointment with my surgeon is on the 15 June. My 7 month anniversary exactly. I hope to lose 21.7 kgs by then, that would have me at 110kgs. That would be awesome!

As for the commenting I will keep plugging away, hoping that they will get through! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. I am feeling like I might be starting to get the dreaded cold/flu so I am on the defensive and filling up on medication in the hope to nip it in the bud.

Have a lovely week :)

Weekly Weigh In

This morning I was proud to see 112.9kgs on the scale! Lowest weight in years - happy birthday to me!!!!

Ramble ramble ramble...

When it's cold and dreadful outside it is so nice to be able to do a workout inside. I am loving the new Biggest Loser Wii game.

I did a 20 minute circuit this morning, my arms are still aching and it wasn't even that hard (?) crazy. I definately need to start toning my body. I do alot of team sports which is great cardio but not much toning really happens.

I have felt like I have had some serious brain-fog over the past few weeks. I am hoping that it is now clear and things can now start to make sense again. Thank you for the lovely comments :)

Tomorrow is my birthday! I will be 29, the last year I get to say "I'm in my 20's!". Tomorrow is also 13 years since Charlie and I have been together. Strangely it does feel like that long but yet it also feels like forever!!

Tomorrow is also weigh in day. I would like to crack into the 112. something kgs on the scale but I am not sure its going to happen. I will be crossing my fingers and moving my scale across the bathroom floor in a vain attempt for the number I want to magically appear!!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

MIA - but still reading...

So much is going on in my head right now but I can't process the thoughts enough to spell them out.

Let's hope the fog clears soon and I am able to put 2 words together again!

6 months = ?? lost

lap band + 6 months = 18.7 kgs (41 pds) lost!

I am happy with that :D and thank you to everyone for their lovely comments on my comparison pictures. Whenever I am having a bad day I will look at them and realise how much progress I have made :)

6 month comparison pics!

Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary! The past 6 months have gone by so quickly. I won't know my official weigh in until tomorrow but I just wanted to share some pics with you. The top picture is October last year - approx 2 weeks before surgery. The bottom is me this morning - 1 day shy of 6 months.

I am so happy with the decision I made all those months ago (18 months ago to be exact). It has been a long wait, I had to wait 12 months before my health insurance would cover a portion of the cost. There have been plenty of ups and downs, it has been an emotional rollercoaster. But you know what? I wouldn't change a thing! This has been the best investment I have ever made in myself and I am finally starting to feel like I was worth it.

Hope you all have a wonderful week :)
