Hello everyone!

Just thought I'd pop by quickly and see how everyone is as I have been MIA for a week or more! I've been so hectic with all my plans for the wedding, but it is only 10 WEEKS AWAY!!! I'm so excited can't wait for the day now!!

I've been so worried recently, my weight loss had been so slow and erratic, with mini-stalls here there and everywhere, but I managed to lose 3lb this week so all is not lost!! I'm still about 38lbs from my goal, and I don't think it's achieveable in the 10 weeks left til my wedding and one year surgiversary (which are on the same day!), however if I can get as close to it as possible I will be overjoyed! I beat myself up sometimes, and tell myself I haven't tried hard enough etc.... but then I remember hat I've actually lost 150lbs in just under 10 months, and never in a million years would I have achieved that before!! 

So I'm staying positive on all fronts, I have the wedding and a new healthier and happier life to look forward to with Steve!! All I pray for now is that the swine flu outbreak in Mexico improves or the travel agents let us change our honeymoon destination. We should know closer to the time!

Take care everyone!

Vicky, 

150 lbs in 10 months is nothing to beat yourself up about. Don't worry if you don't reach your goal by your surgiversary, you'll get there. Congratulations on all your success and on your wedding!

Best,
Stephanie

I know that 150lbs is a great loss especially in such a short time!! And I WILL get to goal eventually, I'm staying motivated and doing everything by the book!!

Well done on your loss by the way, you've done so well!!

Thanks for your comments!

That is some loss, Vicky!! Forget the 38lbs and just try to imagine the wedding dress you would have had to wear if you had not had the WLS!!!

We require lots of photos after the event. And here's hoping for Mexico!

Thanks!! I was imagining what sort of dress I would've had if I hadn't lost any weight! And I certainly wouldn't have been so excited, I'd have been dreading walking down the aisle!!

I will post pics after the wedding, can't wait!! And I've got my fingers and toes crossed for Mexico too! HAve my heart set on it!!
