Down 27!!!

Slow and steady I guess, and I can be grateful it is not a gain.........but I think things have slowed down because I can't walk like I want. My knee just locks up and it is further agrivated by this whacky weather lately. Arthritis is a nasty thing. I have gone and bought a couple aerobics DVD's....I just got them and so this will help, I don't have to walk. I may have to go to the ortho doc and see about getting some heavy duty anti-inflammatories for the pain. Sometimes I lay in bed and just hurt so bad!!!

I was a little disappointed in the weight loss, but doctor says I am right on track, 7 pounds in 7 weeks. He says "we like our patients to drop 1 to 2 pounds a week".........I know I can step that up to 14 pounds in 7 weeks if I just get moving and I will...!!! He also said that since I have only had 1 fill in the band that there will be "plateus" like this.

I should be getting my 2nd fill within a week, so things will step up.

I have a classmate from my High School class of 1979 who has been contacting me (Hi Elsa!!!) about a friend who is looking into the band.......I sent as much info along with this blog address and so hoping I can give her some valuable info.

I am sooooo glad for this band........the weight is coming off slow, but there have been NO gains......and for this I am grateful!!!

Thanks for keeping up with my blog folks!!!!

Oh give me a break--you're upset about not losing that much? While everyone else (myself included) put on weight at Christmas, you STILL lost!

If ya wanna make yourself look even skinnier, go be around those of us who ate too much during the holidays. Like me...
