I was so excited when I stepped on the scale this morning and saw that I lost 3.6lbs. I also have TOM right now...but I started early so I wasn't really bloated. I know that alot of it has to do with having my surgery this week...but I took the time this week to take care of myself and rest and I didnt' count any points. I know I went over...not from eating too much but from making poor food choices but I guess I ate what I needed to and I was still successful. My doctor told me that now that I have no thyroid and I will not be given my medication for about 5-6 weeks it may be difficult for me to lose weight. He told me not to give up and to keep doing what I'm doing but not to get disappointed because not having a thyroid would be the reason.
Today I just took an updated picture of my scar healing very nicely. Thought I would post an updated picture of that as well as an updated closeup of me. Things are very good today. I got back on track with being OP every day this week so far and going to the gym every day to. Life is good! :-)
This is just an updated picture of me. A closeup so you can see if you notice any difference being 20lbs lighter. I see many differences in my face. I will have to put a face comparison on my photos page. I"m so very happy!
I was down 2.6lbs today, 214.2 lbs which means I lost the 2lbs I gained last week plus another .6. As long as I keep going in the right direction I'll be okay. My mini goal is to make it through the Holidays and try to maintain as best I can. I have had no time to exercise. I am going to be changing jobs and times so my time for exercise is going to be hard. I will get to the New Year and be at my 10% goal. I only 2.7lbs away from my first 10% goal . I CAN DO IT! After the Holidays I will get back into my routine/schedule, settle into a new job teaching or substitute teaching at least and get my medication for my thyroid and hopefully that will all get my weight loss back on track. I joined a new Challenge on BCB "Less of me to love" by Valentines Day so my next challenge after New Years will be to reach 199lbs by Valentines Day. It will be hard work, but i'm up for the challenge. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
