7 pounds to go....

Posted 08-07-2009 at 07:51 PM by Melody2006

It's never too late to dust yourself off and get back to basics. I'm now back to being better about my food journaling and I have 7 pounds left to loose.

I went to a new primary doctor the other day to get established with my new insurance. She never knew me as fat. I did tell the whole truth about the LAP-BAND® and loosing over 100 pounds the last year, etc. She gave me the exercise lecture even though I am now a healthy BMI. I do walk 5 miles or more a day I told her. Guess they have...

I'm past the 1 year mark.

Posted 07-23-2009 at 12:22 PM by Melody2006

I'm now past my 1 year mark (7/16/09) for my LAP-BAND® placement. I'm up a few pounds. I now have 9 pounds left to loose instead of 5.

I guess I've gotten routine and lazy about loosing this last 9 pounds. I don't food journal as religiously as I used to. But I always start with the intent to do it.

I still mostly make healthy food choices. I've got to get back to being as strict as I used to be about it and I could loose these last 9 pounds.

5 pounds to goal

Posted 06-28-2009 at 12:05 AM by Melody2006

I'm 5 pounds to my goal of 135. When I hit 140 I hit the correct BMI range for my height of 5'3. It's hard to believe I only have 5 pounds left to loose.

Everyone asks me what I do for meals and stuff. I'm not a big "meal" person. I still track all my intake on http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/

I don't think it's hit me completely yet I only have 5 more pounds to go. And I'm about to hit my 1 year LAP-BAND® anniversary on July 15. I would really like to...

10 months out and 15 pounds to goal.

Posted 05-16-2009 at 05:35 PM by Melody2006

I've lost 108 pounds in the last 10 months and I have 15 pounds left to go to reach 135.

I'm amazed how well I've done. I know it's all because I started food journaling on thedailyplate.com at the start and I've stuck to it. I never had a plateau, and never really became an exercise junky.

This last month has been really emotionally hard and I've learned some tough lessons. Like you don't gain self esteem just because you loose weight. I had biggest LAP-BAND® inspiration...

19 pounds to goal

Posted 04-23-2009 at 02:36 PM by Melody2006

I can't believe I'm 9 months out from LAP-BAND® and I have 19 pounds to my goal weight. 140 is the bmi for my height to be a normal bmi, so I'm 14 pounds from being average weight for my height of 5'3. It's hard to believe I never hit a real plateau and never gave up. I had bad days, but always got right back on track. The last few days (last 3 days) I've had some personal issues and been in a real depression and my band is so tight I'm barely eating 500cals a day. I eat egg beaters and they lay on...
