I hit the mini goal that I was tryinig for, two days ahead of schedule!!!

I was trying to get below 245 before my B-Day (this Thursday) and I did it!!!!! This morning I weighed in at 244.

I have been doing good everyday. I am keeping below 1000 cals, and doing the intermediate level aerobics daily. I am finally seeing progress. Well, it is about damn time!

I still haven't added the crunches yet, but that is my goal for later this week.

I am loving wearing clothes that haven't been on my bod in about 8 or so months... It really feels great! Including what I lost pre-op my grand total is -21 lbs. only -11 since banding, but at least it is starting to finally come off.

It is gonna be tricky to eat a piece of cake and still stay under my 1000 cal limit. I am definately foregoing the ice cream (even the "light"),. My 13 yr old daughter (Stephanie) is making my cake. This will be her first attempt at a cake, but all of her other cooking is excellent so I know she can pull it off.

Happy Birthday! and it is so sweet that your daughter is making you a cake -- just UP your exercise the day after - it won't matter that you had the cake :welldoneclap:

Happy Birthday! And, you are doing great! Keep up the good work. Oh and how was the cake? My b-day is in a few weeks...yikes!
