150's, here I am again

For the 1st time since my lapband was operational, I'm back in the 150's.   I'm frustrated because I COULD have lost the same amount of weight in the same amount of time without the surgery, BUT, I WOULDN'T HAVE.  That's the difference. When I went into tickerfactory.com just now, I saw that I weighed 169 on 10/20.  So that's 6 weeks to lose 10 lbs.  Very slow, but... I fit into a 10P suit.  My winter coat looks like I could fit another person in it.  People compliment my appearance all the time.  And even though I'm a slow loser, my hair is still falling out!  LOL I think that mentally, since I did get down this far 2.5 years ago w/the band, when I get into the 140's, that will really blow my mind.  I haven't weighed less than 150 since I got pregnant with my daughter, 20 years ago!  That's my mini-goal--149!  I hope it doesn't take another 6 weeks, but if it does, so be it.   hugs,

Great job on the weight loss.   Don't try to dwell on how long it takes to lose the weight, just marvel in the fact that you are loosing it. and how good you feel.    I think you are doing a great job and should be so proud of yourself.   I would love to see the 150's and hope that someday I do.   Sally

I can't because I'll be away for business and am quite bummed about it!  When's that meeting in Selden (or wherever it is out your way...way out your way!)  I miss you guys so much. I forgot to mention that I was very brave yesterday...i colored my hair!  It's slightly darker, richer, NO GREY.  Hopefully the color will make it thicker and the thinning less noticeable.   Happy Chanukah to you too!  No jelly donuts for me this year, but ONE potato latke, yes! hugs,

Thank you.  I know that in my brain, Rosemary, but I just can't get it through to my scale! I found a food I cannot eat...potato latkes - LOL.  I tried to eat half of one last nite and it sat in my pouch like a lump of cement.  It doesn't bother me in the least!
