This Wednesday’s Weight: 193lbs
I lost 2lbs this week, and it wasn't like 193.5 it was 193.0! Yay! I have the pic on my mom's cell; I'll post it later!
I am really surprised at the 2lb loss as I was only aiming for 1lb this week. 5lbs in the last 2 weeks is a lot for me! I guess that just goes to show that I probably really am at my sweet spot. Sometimes I wonder if maybe I have too much in though? The first year I was banded I had no heartburn at all. The last few months I've been having a lot, anyone else experience this? I wonder if it has anything to do with too much fluid in the band?
I'm still doing really good with no high cal drinks and no eating out. No eating out has been the easiest for me! Working out is still a struggle. Anyone have any ideas for motivation? I think when you are loosing weight without exercising it's easier to tell yourself you don't have to and I think that is the category I am falling into right now.
GREAT NEWS!!!!
I went down ANOTHER jean size....I'm wearing a size 3!!! haha no Joke I really am, Lane Bryant Size 3 that is - gotcha! =) I'm not completely sure what my "real" size is though....try to stay with me....originally I was wearing a size 5 at Lane Bryant and they said that equals a size 22 and now I'm in a 3 and they say that is an 18. BUT I tried on a normal size 16 (not the right fit) at Lane Bryant and they fit perfectly. So I'm not really sure if that means I'm a 16 or 18...lol Maybe I'm a 17 haha who knows!!! I guess if I fit into a regular 16 than I am a 16? What do you think? I know, I'm sorry this was kind of confusing.Do you get mad?
As I loose weight and start to look nicer to strangers I find they are kinder to me. For example men will hold the door open for me and actually make eye contact. Even woman at the counter seem to be nicer. I get frustrated with people like that and it makes me a little mad. I'm the kind of person who does my absolute best to treat EVERYONE equally because that is just what I believe in. I realize not everyone is like me and that is okay, I guess being nicer to me just hurts my feelings a little rather than make me feel good. That makes no sense does it? lol.
Well that is enough this was a long post! Can't wait to hear from you all!

Congrats on the 2 pounds! I wish there was some magic pill that we could take that would make you want to work out...lol! I too struggle with that part and it's hard since I've lost the weight so far without it, but I know I NEED it to reach my goal by my bandiversary.
When you going to stop shopping at LB and hit up the reg store for clothes...it looks like you're ready :)
Way to go! Sounds like the Green Zone to me!
Two pounds, that is awesome!
As for the pant size, embrace the 16's! of course different brands wear differently, so you could be both a 16 and an 18, but I say embrace the 16's!
I know a lot of people experience what you are with being treated differently, and that really sucks. People should be treated for the people they are, not what they look like. Best of luck to you!
I Feel the same way about working out!!!!!!! Your doing amazing though. try to tell yourself that exercising will make the weight fall off more rapidly. I always look forward to wed's because i know that means a post from you and its fun to read. Have a great week!
Well congrats on 5 pounds so quickly!! that is awesome.
I get treated way differently but im not surprised..we all know that there is fatism. I quickly switch to how unfair every time it happens an then I talk myself down and say to myself..just enjoy it for what it is and move on.
I'm crap at working out too...You just have to find something you enjoy I guess. The biking gets me off my arse a bit more than normal :)
Congrats sweetie! that's a great loss!!! Way to go!!!! You should just go into a department store and try on a few brands in 16's and 18's (all fit different) and see which ones you fit into best! then you'll at least know, whether you buy em or not! There are some GREAT jeans out that will look super on you when you're ready!!!!
Way to go on the weight loss. That is AWESOME!!! :)
I am like you - I don't know if I wear a 16 or an 18 because I have clothes in both sizes. It's sort of annoying because it depends on the cut, the style, the brand, etc.
But, it's better than a 22, right? :)
And I also get annoyed about people being nicer all of the sudden because I'm smaller. They still don't really treat me as well as they do my thinner counterpart that I work with (and often lunch with) but I have noticed some more respect here and there. Grrr...
5 lbs in 2 weeks is awesome! I don't know that I'd be motivated to exercise either with this kind of loss. But you know you don't want to be thin and flabby so you need to use that for motivation. Do you have a Wii? There are a lot of great games that cause you to sweat - Just Dance being one of them - but still have fun. As far as strangers being nicer, just enjoy it. It's been proven time and time again that we are nicer to more attractice people. It's just a fact of life.
