Well today I bit the bullet and while I was at the Rec, I asked Thomas to weigh me. I have been walking 3 miles every other day now for eight days. I feel so good when I am done. I am still very fatigued but I am hoping that when they get the sleeping oxygen right, that will be alleviated. Anyway, I took the leap of faith and I weighed 195 pounds. That is 70 pounds less than I weighed two years ago but now is the time for me to get in gear and take off the last 40 pounds. I really do believe if I use the band as a tool, walk as I train for the April half marathon, and eat right, I can do it by August which will be two years with the band.
I know I should look at the fact that I have weighed 195 pounds now for a very long time but I am eating healthy and not feeling deprived of some of the things I enjoy. I just have to exercise to increase my burn so that more fat will go. Considering we went on vacation and I have been under an incredible amount of stress, I think I have proven to myself that I can maintain now.
I just have to lose the last 160 sticks of butter.

I think you have done an absolutely awesome job!! I have just read back over some of your latest post (because I have been absent for a while!)...you look absolutely bloody fantastic...a total hornbag!!!! lol lol
I too have been reading back a bit, and I'm impressed that you're doing so much exercise, and envious as well because you seem to enjoy it. Wish I could! Your state of mind is brilliant Sylvia, you should be giving lessons on how to stay positive (and deal with stress as well, I shouldn't wonder...)
