Almost Made It!!

Hi everyone. Just hit 6 months post op and my goal was to be down 80lbs. by my anniversary. Well, I stepped on the scale on my anniversary and I was down 79 lbs. I was so upset. Granted, I did lose the pound 2 days later, but it just wasn't the same. My wedding shower is on Saturday and I got a size 16 dress, which needs to be altered on top. I feel good, but really want to start losing quickly again. I only lose 1-2 pounds a week and I'd like to see 3-4 lbs. a week.

You are doing great!!! 80 pounds??? That's awesome! 1-2 pounds a week is nice cause it gives your body/skin a chance to shrink back into place. When's your wedding? Is a size 16 going to be small enough for you! How exciting to have your wedding dress "taken in"! That doesn't happen very often! Keep up the good work! Tasha 274/211/160 banded 8/11/03

I know it's funny saying that. I definately know that I will not be a size 18 that they ordered for me come June. At the rate I'm going, maybe a 12 or 14. Thanks for the support.
