Week 37....Scale Moving...110lbs Gone

(Jan 30, 2010) Well, this past week was very uneventful. I did lose the water weight and two more pounds. So I have lost 110lbs now and only five more to goal!

 

I am a bit concerned about my band. Seems like I can't keep much down but I don't get sick off of everything.

 

I think I am just re-adjusting again. I use to be able to eat salmon earlier on in my process but now, it just sits there like a ball of coal. I'd like to eat more fish since it's good for me. Tomorrow I am going to try and make a Tuna Casserole.

 

I'm not so sure it's the food, maybe my eyes are bigger than my tummy again. I hate to waste! I am not a big person for left-overs. Thank goodness I got a hubby who usually eats everything I don't. I don't know why I hate re-heated food. I am OK with things like Veggie Soup and Chili, all the stuff seems to taste better the next day anyway but anything else....no thanks.

 

Also, I am having trouble getting all my water in each day. I am no where NEAR the intake I should be taking in.

 

Are there any good cookbooks for one or two people out there?

 

I got an email from my doctors office this past week. They have been going through files and picking out the most successful people and they are starting a photo board. They would like me to submit some photos! I was honored!

 

I turn 40 Feb. 23rd and so I planned a photo shoot on Feb. 19th! I am so excited about it too. I have been looking at new clothes and hairstyles and everything. It will be so much fun! I can't wait. I'll share of course.

 

Ok, so I have something funny. I have NO BUTT! I need some padding back there. We went out to eat and those darned seats were killing me. I was squirming in that chair. The things you did not know before you sure know after! HEE HEE!

 

Ok, I know you guys heard me say this before but I am not very happy about how my tummy is shaping up. It feels so weird. I am not sure it will firm up right. I am going to give it a good whole year of working and toning it as much as possible, but I don't think I will be able to really rule out a tummy tuck. I just really don't want more surgery. I've never been a surgery person and I've only had two in my life with the lapband being one. I'd love to hear from others who have something to say on this. If you've had surgery I want to hear from you and if you've not had surgery what did you do to firm it up.

 

So....just five more pounds people. I can do this!

 

Always....I am blessed!

I so happy for you!

No BUtt!?!? AAAWwww i cant say i feel sorry for you.

I know what you mean about the tummy..i have lost only 1/3rd of what i need to loose and i already see the loosen skin all around my belly button. i know i need to take it easy and give my body to re-adjust. I have heard that you do need to give your body/skin about 1 year.

I started using St. Eves firming lotion after the shower on my belly, thighs and upper arms. i have never considered myself a vain person, but i have a feeling that when i reach my goal it will bother me to see all the loose skin not just because of the weight loss but also for carring twin boys. The left sice of my tummy has more skin...GREAT!

I cant wait to see the pics..you deserve it!

How much water are you drinking?

I love my 64 oz water and that is something i have no problem drinking but i do worry that the more fills i get the harder it could get.

Keep it up!

Congratulations on your wonderful WL success. Enjoy the photo shot - you deserve to enjoy and "show off" that new, healthy body.

I had a tummy tuck when I was 50. The results were marvelous, but the recovery was challenging.

Thanks for your comment on my blog.

You have just done incredible. I was banded the week after you and am only down 67. I am very thankful for where I am but you must be blown away. It is hard not to compare myself to others and be a little jealous. You are doing absolutely awesome. You were pretty before but you look georgous. You look so healthy now. I hope to lose a total of 103 before my one year. We will see. Good luck and God bless. You are doing great.!
