Forty-eight!


I waited until today's weigh-in to make it official, but I am now down 48.2 pounds! Funny, it seems that my weight loss is now centered around TOM. I basically stall for most of the month, then drop 2 lbs when TOM is over. That happened last month, too.

Yesterday, I got in a dress that I had ordered for work to tide me through the summer. It's a pinstriped Tahari dress in. . . size 14! AND, it fits! It's a bit low cut for work though -- I'll have to wear a black tank top underneath.



So, after figuring out the measurements and going down 2 more pounds, I'm feeling like I'm back on track and that things are going well. I'm going to check in with my doctor today -- mainly because I haven't been in to see her since March 12th.

I don't need a fill -- 2.85 ccs in my 5 cc band seems to be just right for me. However, I did want her to check to see how my scar is looking, to get her take on my rate of loss (especially recently) and to see if she can suggest anything I can be doing better.


I'm off to Austin later today for the long weekend! Am meeting up there with my best friend, and we will stay at the home of her sister and brother-in-law, who are two also friends of mine from college. I'm really looking forward to it! Happy 4th everyone!
