SEVENTY-EIGHT!!

Wow -- I am really surprised, but the scale this morning showed me at 78 pounds down! I am just 2 pounds away from having lost 80 pounds. . . and only 7 pounds from my aspirational goal. I'm really surprised to be down another pound this soon, but I'll take it! I think having that unfill was a good step -- I've been able to eat better protein (i.e. more chicken and fish, less cheese), and that must have helped with this last pound!

Gosh, it just seems like these last couple pounds have come of quickly and unexpectedly almost! This is wonderful!

I too just got a teeny unfill since I was having a hard time not getting stuck on foods that were good for me and I kept naturally leaning towards slider foods. So, hopefully I'll see some movement on the scale as well! :)

You are still such a huge inspriation to me!

Hi Catherine

Congrats on hitting 78lbs gone. Yours is one of the first WLS blogs I came across when I started exploring this as an option last week. I wanted to thank you for putting it all out there. I lost a night's sleep because I refused to stop reading from your start of the journey to present! I love that you showed me it's possible to have a life that's surrounded by food, drink and friends even after the band. I also admire that unlike some others I've read, you truly tried all along to give it your all. I was a bit put off by people who seemed to spend their time figuring out how to cheat the system.
I've started my own blog as a way first of clearing my head and making sense of the ramblings and also hopefully one day of inspiring others as you've inspired me. If you want to check it out (still very early days) it's islandbandit.blogspot.com . btw - I live in Nassau :)
