I weighed in Thursday and I am down 30.5 lbs since April 11th! Whoo - hoo! Course I dropped another point in WW but I knew that was coming. A year ago I joined Curves and I went a total of three times. So I called them today and asked if I could cancel my membership now since I'd already been there a year and they just had me come in and sign a piece of paper. For the heck of it, I got my stats from a year ago. I weighed in at 243 (which means I gained 15 lbs from June of 07 to April of 08) and I also wrote down all of my measurements: 

Fat	42.4%
Bust	44.5
Waist	40
Abs	48.5
Hips	52
Thighs	32
Calves	18.75
Arms	14.75

Then I went and took my measurements from today:

 

Fat
Bust	43
Waist	38
Abs	44
Hips	51
Thighs	24
Calves	16
Arms	13

So I've at least lost 19 inches!!! I wish I would have taken my measurements at 258 lbs so I could figure up the total lost inches but oh well, I'll just do them monthly from now on. I need to get a hold of a body fat analyzer to figure up my body fat percentage.

The 20 lb mark has always been my stopping point in the past. It was like my body used to shut off and my brain would scream "Just eat!" So this is a big accomplishment for me to finally get over the 20 lb mark. I decided to celebrate by getting my nose pierced - which really, really, really hurt! So far I've lost 22 lbs since April 11th.

As some of you may know, I changed my mind and decided to give Weight Watchers another shot. My main reason for this is that I quit my highly stressful job and decided to only go to school for right now. Thank God I have a supportive husband. Without the stress of work, I'm hoping my weight loss journey will be easier. I have been cooking WW meals every night and have started incorporating exercise into my routine this week. So far I have lost 15 lbs since April 11th. I truly feel that I have my mind in it this time. Wish me luck!!

3/29/08:   It's been 4 months since my intial consultation and I talked to the doctor's office last week and found out I have been approved for lapband!! My next appointment is April 9th so I can get chest x-ray, bloodwork, etc...and then I get to begin the wonderful 2 week liquid diet :( . My surgery date is April 25th and I AM SCARED TO DEATH!!!!!!!!! I just want it to be April 26th already and I'm home and the surgery is all over with. I'm planning a trip to Florida the second week of September and I hope I'm down at least 50 pounds - I would enjoy vacation so much more!!
