Not much to blog about, my weight is stable at 68kgs. I mostly fit into a size 12 in clothing and I am now a lot more comfortable with my new size. The mental adjustment to this hugh weight loss has been harder than I would have thought it would be.
I love being described as "little" and "skinny".
I have an appointment with my surgeon in early May, at which I am going to ask for a referral to a plastic surgeon to have a tummy tuck and a boob lift. Don't need a size increase just need them uplifted from around my navel to the normal position for boobs.
My grand daughter saw an old picture of me the other day and asked who it was, I told her it was Nanny when she was fat, she is nearly 3, she looked at me funny and then back at the picture, I some how don't think she believed it was me.

Steady as She goes
Not much to report, my weight is steady at around 69kgs.
Went to my nephews wedding last weekend, got a lot of lovely complements from relatives that I hadn't seen for a while.
I have another nephew getting married on April 9th. Looking for a new dress to wear to that one. Tried on a beautiful purple dress yesterday, it was a size 10! Boy did that boost my ego. Haven't bought it yet, taking my daughter-in-law on Saturday to see if she thinks it looks OK.

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.

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.

55 and Livin' in the low 70's
Just had my 55th Birthday. Friends said it wouldn't be long till my weight and my age are the same. Hopefully only my age will increase from here on.
Weight today is 72.6kgs.
It is really funny how the weight can stagnate for a couple of weeks then all of a sudden is drops again. Just before my trip to Bali I was 80kgs, (and it seemed like it took forever to get down out of the 80's) so I have lost 7.4kgs in two months.
Not sure were it will stop. Originally my dietitian said my goal weight would be between 65 & 69kgs, but given that it is still dropping at a steady rate and that I still feel that could comfortably get down to about 60kgs. I am only 5'2" tall (or short)
Latest Food Fad - Satay Chicken and brown rice. I buy it from my local Chinese Take Away and the have it over the next couple of days, either for lunch or dinner. One $14 meal lasts for at least 3 meals, now that is economical.
