No question, just in need of some support

I really need a little boosting up! I feel like I am never going to make it anywhere close to my goals. I started at 353 on the day of sugery 06/23/03. I am down to 261 on my home scale which probably means 271 at the dr's office. I don't really feel much of a change. Some things like tying my shoes and using the bathroom are a bit easier. But when I look down it seems like my stomach is getting bigger! I look like I am 9 months pregnant (NO!!! No possibility of that--it's been taken care of!). I have much more of a defined "swallowed a basketball" look. My clothes are getting looser but truthfully I really can't see it. I am so scared that I will never get to my goals. I wanted to be down 100 pounds by 6 months so would need to loose almost another 20 pounds (going by the dr's scale). I also really really want to make it to being under 200 someday. Dream goal is 130 (fantasy goal is 112). Due to many bone and joint problems I can't exercise much at all. Walking which is such great exercise for most people is out of the question. I started water exercise classes once a week (have gone twice so far) but my foot/ankle dr doesnt want me to do them because he thinks I'll injury my foot further (am nursing my 3rd stress facture in 4 1/2 years). I just need some encouragment
