Weigh In
It appears that the scale is back on the move!!! I am so excited. I have lost another 2 pounds this week and I am now at 171.5. I would like to be 166 by Halloween, so that means that I would need to lose another 5.5 pounds in just over a month (about 1 pound a week). I hope that I do not hit another plateau, but if I do that is OK. I have come such a long way and I am extremely happy with where I am. I have lost a total of 155 pounds. That is soooo amazing to me.

Wow, it has been a really long time since I posted anything new. Sorry, I have several websites that I am in the process of maintaining and my favorite one is www.sparkpeople.com I have lost a little more weight since my last entry and I am now down to 173.5.
I went to the doctor that did my Gastric Bypass Surgery on 9-12-08 to see about having the excess skin removed. First I wanted to see if it was really excess skin or if I just have more weight to lose. He informed me that it is excess skin and he thinks that there is at least 12 pounds of excess skin (just in the stomach area). I also inquired about a Breast Reduction and both can be down at the same time. This was good news for me, because I am not sure that I could go through all the pain twice and if I had to pick between one or the other, I would have picked the Breast Reduction.
I am still running and each day I am in pain. It is my upper back and lower back that are in pain. The rest of my body seems to be adapting well to this running thing. I am still planning to run a Marathon in April of 2009, however my only fear is that by doing the above surgeries my progress will be set back and it will be like I am starting over. I hope that if the surgeries are approved by my insurance that the recovery is extremely quick and that I can get back to my training ASAP.
