Today makes 3 mos since I was joined together with my Band! The super fast weight loss has stopped:phanvan , but I know I will continue to go down, and I'm happy so far. No problems (except this last fill might be too tight). Below are my stats -

Beginning Weight = 248

1 mo post op - 206.8

2 mo post op - 198

3 mo post op - 193

Total lost = 55 lbs

My measurements:

Before /1 month out/ 2 months out/3 mos

Waist - 41 1/2" / 38" / 36 /36

Hips - 51" / 46 1/2 / 45"/44"

Left Thigh - 28" / 26 1/4"/ 24"/23 1/2

calves - 17" / 15 1/2"/ 15 /16

left arm - 15 1/2" / 14" / 13/13

breast - 43" / 40"/ 39/38 1/2

under breast - 37"/36 1/2" / 36"/36

TOTAL INCHES LOST= 26 inches

Notes - although last month was not a huge loss in inches and weight, I feel like I have accomplished a lot. I learned that I don't have to eat to deal with my stress or other emotions. Also, for about 2 weeks out of the month, I didn't even try to lose weight, I was busy with a remodeling project, ate junk food for dinner every night, and no exercise. So, for me not to GAIN during that time is a great accomplishments. In the past if I didn't try to lose weight, I would always gain like 15 lbs. So I feel like I have reason to be happy, even with a 5 lbs loss for a month and only 2" loss for the month. I know next month there will be a big difference so I'm excited to see what will happen during my 4 month anniversary!

My goals for month 4 -

Start the BFL challenge

Get out of the 190's

take my vitamins every day

stay focussed and not miss any workouts
