I am sooooo excited!
I got on the scale this morning...and instead of seeing my weight start with 22something...its now firmly 219. I giggled. out loud. I was sooo happy. I also only have 1 more lb to lose to reach 60lbs down. And I also noticed when I updated my ticker today it shows 59lbs lost, 59lbs more to lose, so I have reached my half-way point!
Have an awesome day everyone!

The scale is moving again!
Thank God, that fill must have been exactly what I needed.
The scale has responded nicely. I am at 220.0 this morning...down 58lbs now. My goal was to hit 60 lbs down as of today, so I am 2lbs shy...but hopefully will reach that before the end of the week!
This fill is working great. I am staying full for a long time, and get filled quickly...I hope and hope and hope it lasts! and maybe I am at my sweet spot, finally. Only time will tell I guess.
On the other front, things are still tough....but I am choosing to focus on the positive changes I am making, and my family. I am trying to live my life to please God & myself...and if people don't like it, that is their problem!

I LOVE my Dr & the scale is moving again!
I had my Dr appt yesterday, for a fill...and my Dr is amazing, he really is.
He asked me how I had done last month, I told him lost 3lbs the first week, 2 lbs the 2nd week, and the last 2 weeks only 1lb. He asked me why I didn't move my fill up, or call his office. He said if I have another week or two like that, I need to let him know and he will help me. He said a plateau last for months, what I experienced was a little "set back" and that is what he is there for.
I got up on the table, and right away he put in .8 and had me sit up and drink 1/2 bottle of water and he watched, he said it's going down easy isn't it, I said yeah. He had me lay back down and he put in .4 more. I felt it that time. He said if in 2 weeks you don't feel restriction I want you to call and come in, he said do not wait 4 weeks between visits if it's not working. He said I want to help you lose another 20 by June 1st. Woo Hoo! My dr is the bomb!
And the scale rewarded me this morning with 2lbs loss! I was dancing! and now that I am doing zumba, I know some fun moves...like the booty roll! Ha!
Happy Friday everyone!

so stinking SICK of this plateau...and people!
I haven't blogged in awhile...and my last one was pretty depressing..this one is too...so I apologize up front.
Weight wise...uuugghhh...this stinking plateau that's just not budging. I am losing inches..but the scale is just not moving...day after day I see the same number...it's only gone down like 1lb total in a little over 2 weeks...I have tried more food, less food, carb free...nothing is getting it to budge! Thank GOD I have a fill today..hoping that gets me back to dropping. I get sooo scared that maybe this is the lowest I will be, that I will stop losing now, because that is whats happened on every other diet I have been on...I lose 40-50 lbs and then bam, it stops....
People wise...things are the same, if not worse. People hurt. I am sooo sick of being hurt. I have realized some things over the last few weeks.....I am a people pleaser, and when I fail at pleasing people, it really bothers me. I need to let that go...somehow. Does anyone else get sick when someone tells them "I need to talk to you". I instantly start wondering what I am in trouble for, what did I do wrong, etc....it all stems back to childhood I guess...I was the same way then...I always tried to please my parents, teachers, etc...and was terrified of getting in trouble. I am an adult, and still the same way.... trying to please people, that just won't be pleased. I can never please the people here...I am always letting them down, by making decisions that are right for me, but they don't like them. I honestly am just sooo frustrated and hurt.....
Thanks for all the support! You guys are the best!

It's been awhile...been a rough week....scale is not moving...and people are hurtful
I haven't blogged in awhile...sorry about that.
Last week was one of the roughest weeks I have ever had. Not totally due to my band...but I will start there 1st. Last week I lost .5lbs. thats it. And was it because I didn't drink my water? Nope, had 100+ oz ever day. Was it because I didn't exercise? Nope, worked out 5 days last week. Was it because of poor food choices? Nope...ate like a good band girl every day. So why then the slap in the face loss???? I have no idea...and that frustrates the crap out of me. It makes me very upset....
Personally last week was a horrible week. I can't really go into too many details...but lets just say sometimes Christians can be the worst...they judge, backstab, and hurt you...all in the name of "Godly concern". I very much dislike fake people...and I know God is not pleased when people act that way. It's what gives Christians such a bad name....and it's sooo frustrating and hurtful. So, as most of you know that follow me, we are in ministry. My husband is a youth pastor...so believe me, we get judged...and hurt alot...and sometimes the pain is more than I can bear...and last week was one of those weeks. Sometimes I feel like I never can do anything right.....it seems everytime I turn around, I am being judged for something I said. did. wore. etc.....and it hurts. This week I am just trying it pack up the pain...give to God...and move on. and I am trying to get the attitude that if you don't like me, thats not my problem. That is really hard for me...I am a people pleaser......but I am trying. Really hard.
Have a great day!

I don't think he belived me...but I hit 50lbs down a couple of weeks ago...and Saturday was my tattoo appointment! I LOVE it! and already want another one...lol. I have heard they are addicting! So for 70lbs down, I may get another one. But here is a couple of pictures...have a great day!
