Keep on truckin'.

Dec 20, 2010

So I'm down to 263 lbs YAY. My band has been overfilled for months now and it's slowly working. I don't each much - usually Odwalla/Naked drinks and whatever vitamins go down, some soups and alot of water.  Anything bigger immediately gets stuck in my throat and has to come back up. This is the way it has to be for me as I basically refuse to exercise. I bought an elliptical in 2008 and it just sits in the living room. The latest thing I'm hoping to jump start my exercising is the Xbox Kinect. I just bought 3 exercise "games"- A fighting/boxing game, Dance Central, and a fitness/weight loss game. I'm excited for them except in order to use them I have to monopolize the main television in the house, which is in the living room. I really want to exercise more in 2011. This weight loss thing would've gone so much faster if I had been all along.
It's difficult to find a pair of jeans that fit me right but that's a great problem to have. I had a consultation at a great plastic surgeon and he said that I needed to get my BMI down to 30-35 in order for him to consider doing surgery. I'm definitely going to get the extra skin in my arms removed. He also suggested a breast lift in the same operation, as I guess it's easier to do it all at once and the cuts are all connected. My goal weight to get to that BMI range is 200 lbs.  I can't believe I only have another 65 to go!
I will also likely need to get a tummy tuck to remove all the hanging skin in my FUPA area. It's already there but I still have alot of fat to lose in my midsection.  The surgeon says it's best to lose as much fat as I can so he isn't doing liposuction AND skin removal, which can be two separate surgeries. It looks so painful - I can't imagine going through surgery twice on the same area.
