Livin in the 60's

This morning I weighed 69.7kgs. I have been living in the 70's for the last couple of months, thought the weight loss has nearly stopped, so was pleasantly surprised this morning. Would like to get down to 65kgs if possible.

Not only does weight loss effect your clothing size but there are a lot of other side issue as well. I need to get my rings re sized, my necklaces now hang down too low so will need to buy new ones, my shoe size is less, I will need a new watch soon as the current one cannot be adjusted any smaller.

I also realised the other day that I can cross my legs and be really comfortable. This is something I couldn't really do when I was larger.

Nearly out of the 70's

70.4kgs - feeling great.

Visited my surgeon on Wednesday, my vitamin B12 and calcium levels are a little low, so will need to start having a B12 injection once every three months and taking calcium table daily. Iron levels etc are really good.

I was again, last Wednesday night, the Bypass Success guest speaker at the surgeons weight loss seminar, at Lake Macquarie Private Hospital. There was also a Lapband Success rep as well. 12 people attended that are interested in either the lap band or the bypass. All seemed really committed to going ahead with surgery. No one asked about the cost which is unusual as there apparently is always a couple of people that are only interested in the cost. I know that I asked as an after thought, about the cost when I attend the seminar prior to my surgery.

Weight today 71.3kgs. Would like to loose another couple of kilo's, then I would be a neat size 12, but if it doesn't I am happy to stay were I am now.

If and when I have a tummy tuck, I guess they would remove a couple of kilo's of skin.

Slowing Down

Weight today is 72.1kgs. I have now been in the 72's for a couple of weeks, not sure if the weight loss is slowing naturally or if it is because I have been hitting the gym every day for the last two weeks. The trainer said that I am building lean body mass - muscle.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday.

Now wearing size 12 to 14 in clothes.

Over the next couple of months I have two weddings, an engagement party and a retirement party to attend. I have hit the shops looking for clothes. Bought my first little black dress, size 14, a pair of purple 3" stilettos and a purple jacket to wear to the first weddings in March.

For the retirement function this Thursday, I found a beautiful green and bone top to wear with a pair of black crepe pants and black stilettos (I still have to buy these).

The money I save on food, I use to buy clothes. It is so nice to be able to buy from a "normal" shops.
