Well I have some restriction. Not a whole lot, but it is a start. I want to wait until I'm completely stalled before I schedule another fill. It seems like the only time I manage to lose weight is the week I'm on liquids after a fill. Although I must admit, that I only stayed on liquids for about three days.

I had my measuring day at Curves a few days ago. I'd lost 20 lbs. since I joined and they were all asking me what was my secret. So I pulled up my shirt and showed 'em my scars. Then I erased my name off the "Brag Board" 'cuz I'd really rather people didn't keep bringing it up. It makes me feel very awkward. I've never been good at accepting compliments & praise. I'm really very self-deprecating. Most of the time.

Here are my stats from the Curves measuring day:

Bust 49 in. -3 in.

Waist 47in. -4 in.

Abdomen 52 in. -3 in.

Hips 50 in. -3 in.

Thighs 28 in. -2 in.

Arms 16.5 in. -2 in.

Body fat 42.6% -1.9%
