BeBe Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I finally have some good news! I stepped on the scale yesterday, and finally met the 50 lb. lost mark. It took over SEVEN MONTHS to lose that second 25 lb., but damn it, I'm finally here! In fact, I lost an additional pound since yesterday too. There was a long period where I wasn't losing anything because I needed a fill but couldn't afford one. I'm so thankful to Dr. Mayes in Boise for working with me on the fees so I could finally get another fill and start losing again. I really need to get some photos up, I can fit into the goal dress that I had posted photos of (but since deleted) - that my butt was hanging out of and I couldn't zip. Now it looks great. I have a new camera though and haven't figured out the auto-setting for taking photos. I'll post some as soon as I figure it out. I just wanted to post because I know how frustrating it can get to have your weight loss stalled due to insufficient fills. But I think it's probably helped me to lose it a little slower - because I have had a hard time with the slow chewing and not drinking with meals. I'm doing much better because I'm filled to the point where eating too fast or drinking while eating isn't even possible! Hooray for the band!

BeBe Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks guys! I can't tell you how hard it was watching everyone else dropping so quickly while my weight loss was at a stand-still. While I was thrilled for each and every one of you, I was let down with myself at the same time... and it was hard to accept. I still have almost 20 lb. to go - but I'm sure I'll get there before bikini season comes around again, and that's all that matters! LOL! The day I get into the 150's, I'm going to throw a party. I haven't been in that range since before I was pregnant with my first child (1987)! I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
