Entries for February 27, 2008

I was banded in June '07. I've lost 41 pounds and I'm 60 years old. I was sick and tired of "dieting" and still don't like the idea. My husband and mother-in-law for whom I cook, have no weight problems and eat pretty much anything they want and both have sweet tooths, as do I. I'm feeling good about my loss so far, but during February I have lost and gained the same 2 pounds three times! The candy, cookies, and ice cream have taken their toll and I'm ending the month right where...

One more thing Plumpy Pad...

I'm going to take a few meaurements to keep track of as well! Might be fun!

Dear Plumpy Pad,

Weight went down again, not as much as I would like... but still, down it went!

I made my meal for the day and feel like I'm going to throw up because I am so stuffed... which is awesome! My stomach must have shrunk because I only ate 1/3 of the portion size I would have eaten two weeks ago!!

In other news, I called around to local fitness centers today to see about costs and such... I think I might like to join Curves, but I'm not certain!...

Just a quick little update. All is going well. I have my monthly appointment next week with the doctor to see how my weight loss is going. I've lost 7 lbs since I saw him three weeks ago. I don't think I need another fill. I can overeat if I want to (not like before but more than I should). I just try to stop when I am full. I seem to eat small snacks throughout the day mostly. I usually try to consume less than 2000 calories a day- but it's normally between 1200-1500 a day.
I still...
