It's a Beautiful Day!!

Welcome to my first post! I’m starting on a VERY happy note because yesterday I weighed in and for the first time since 2005, I think, I’m actually not even really sure, I saw DOUBLE DIGITS!! I was ecstatic! I even had to take a photo and I can’t stop looking at it, I am very proud! Now I’ve lost 31.7kgs/70pds and am well and truly on the downhill slide. I am just over halfway, but I feel like I am finally starting to get somewhere.

I went overseas about 2 months ago and before I left I had quite a bit of fill taken out. When I came back, I headed straight back to my surgery centre the very next day because I didn’t want to be left to my own devices for too long! I had lost .7kg while away so was pretty happy about that, but was disappointed to learn that my fill Doctor wouldn’t put back all that she took out, they were only going to put a small bit back in. Geez, I was pissed off! I had been at really good restriction before I got it taken out, about 1kg a week, and it’s taken me all this time and I’m still not back at that same restriction. I’m hoping I’m there now, or will be with the next fill so hoping the weight loss will continue. That’s why I was so happy to see the double digits, they’ve been a long time coming!!
