I am now too skinny for the LAP-BAND®! My insurance won't pay for anyone 35 or under and now I qualify!!!! Sounds crazy, but I'll take all the markers to success I can get. This is so important because I have such a long road. I have 54 more pounds to lose to get to 150 which is kind of where I guess I will stop.

I had my first vomiting episode and was scared to death. I picked up a stomach bug somewhere. My DH and I went to a hotel for a one night getaway. I woke up at 2 in the morning,...

Every few days or weeks I get a wake up call that reminds me how my life is changing. Today......I fit in a non stretch pair of size 14 pants. Were they tight-you bet-but they won't be in a month!

My goal size is 14! I thought I would weigh a lot less at 14, so I will keep going.

Another biggie today-I changed my official weekly loss goal to 1.5 pounds per week. It has been 2 lbs for a long time, but that is just not happening any more. So every week I feel bad,...

Went for a walk today in the most bizarre weather. It was so foggy and you could feel the temperatures change as you went from one area to another. Even though it was one in the afternoon, I wished I had brought a light because it was so foggy.

I miss walking outside so much I could cry. I am sucking up every shred of evidence that Spring is coming. Easter stuff in the stores. Local pancake house opening soon. 57 degrees today. Lots of potholes.

I have been too hungry...

Well guess what..First day of winter vacay and I am sick. I am hoping its not the flu because my bones feel like they hurt. My band is tight as a 10 year old virgin! (sorry, but I have wanted to say that for a long time!) I suppose that's good because I don't think I will be burning many calories today. Getting my butt from the bed to the easy chair to the bathroom isn't exactly aerobic.

Friday is official weigh in day for me-Why do I pout if I don't lose at least 2 pounds a week.I think its time to give myself a reality check, after losing 120+ pounds my weight loss might slow down. Ya think? Also I just don't get as much exercise in the winter. I still am quite active, but nothing beats a brisk walk outside and in New England it is just not possible on many days.

You know, no matter what its like here, there are always people out running. How do you get yourself...
