Rolling Right Along

Nov 29, 2013

I'm pleased by my weight loss pace this month.  I look at months as beginning on the 14th (as my surgery date was April 14th) and ending on the 13th.  I'm at the halfway point for my eighth month post-surgery and I'm down five pounds.  Not too shabby.  :-)  I may not make my goal of being in the 130s before heading out for Chicago on December 18th.  It's possible (I'm now at 144 lbs.), but by no means assured.  Still, even if it doesn't happen, it's likely I'll drop a pound or two while home, as I tend to lose weight when I travel.  One way or another, I should be in the neighborhood by the beginning of 2014.

Woo hoo!

But man...that extra skin is beginning to make itself known, particularly on the lower half of my body.  My behind, thighs and belly are obviously affected.  I'm droopy and crepe-y in the extreme.  The good news is my upper arms aren't as big a problem.  Yes, my inner arms look a little crepe-y when held in certain positions, but I don't think it's that noticeable.  I'm pretty sure I can get away without any plastics there.  But I definitely plan on having a little done elsewhere.

Time to start saving money!  At this time next year, I hope to go under the knife.
