ackovach Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi All, I FINALLY hit my 199.8 milestone!!! I am so happy. I could not have done this without the band. I was expecting a lot quicker weight loss. So I do get down on myself about not hitting my goals on time. But I am going to keep plugging away at it. I am doing weight lifting and cardio 4 - 5 times a week. My waist was at 34.5 this morning from about 39 at my largest. And I starting to fit nicely into some of my size 14 regular clothes instead of plus size. My plus size 16 are getting very large. But I went shopping at Ann Taylor & Anne Klein last weekend and nothing really fit. So it is a mixed bag on what size I am. I am fitting into some of my clothes that I wore at 175. I have greatly reduced my blood pressure medications. I take 3 and hoping to get off 1 of them next week. I would really love to have a couple of weeks that I lose a solid 2 - 3 pounds. I am losing about 1 pound a week now. I have really good restriction too. I still have to use willpower at night & when making food choices. My current measurements are: chest 44 waist 34.5 hips 46 So I am going shopping for pair of boots and jeans!!! Happy Day!!! Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denisem Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Way to go, Amy! I can't wait until I hit Onederland! That's Onederful! :-) I have 17 lbs to go before I hit it though! The good thing is that this time, I know I'll do it since I have my band! Have a great weekend and good luck finding your jeans and boots!
