My Rescue Is Possible

Lately I've been watching alot of The Biggest Loser re-runs to get motivated It's made me feel a little guilty about the fact that I have barely done any exercise and am still managing to lose weight But I know I can't keep it up much longer Seeing how hard the contestants work is making me realise how important exercise is I seriously need someone to scare me, provoke me, push me to work hard I think I need my own Jillian Michaels! Sure I can jump on a treadmill, but I'll be walking at a very moderate pace for a much shorter time than I should be doing How do you guys get motivated to move? Who motivates you to work hard? Oh an on a side note... Have any of you turned slightly vegetarian since getting banded? The thought of chicken or meat sickens me I haven't had good experiences with chicken or red meat since banding They are the kinds of foods that get me stuck no matter how small of a bite or how well I chew What are you experiences? Does it get easier to eat t...

I bought a dress today Haven't worn one since my 18th birthday Such a good feeling :) I don't think I've lost any weight this week I didn't eat too much for Christmas but when I did eat, I ate alot of chocolate

1.5kg down (3.3lb) So happy with that This week I've had a lot more restriction than normal, even without getting a fill And I've been exercising a bit more This now puts me down to 98.6kg (216.9lb) I haven't been under 100kg in years Such a good feeling :) My total loss so far is 26.9kg (59.18lbs) Life is excellent I'm crushing on someone I work with but he's about 8 years older than me so it's just childish and probably won't go anywhere but it definitely makes me look forward to going to work :P There are three events that I'm really looking forward to in the coming year 1. My 22nd birthday (31st Jan 2011)...my 21st was horrible. I was too insecure to party and I remember feeling so ugly and fat. My 22nd is going to make up for all the horrible birthdays I've had. 39days until my birthday...about 5.5weeks. Hoping to get down to about 95kg by then. Seems possible, only 3.6kg to go :) 2. Soundwave music festival(4th March 2011)...every year my siste...

So after our work meeting today I decided to stick around and get one of the doctors to print me out a referral for a routine blood test I hadn't taken blood since July before the surgery so I was hoping everything would be normal or even better than before I had lost weight I'm going in for the test tomorrow morning But while he was at it he decided to check my blood pressure Apparently it's high =S The nurse double checked it and it was also high for her Dammit I thought losing weight would make me healthier! I've never had a problem with it before, even when I was nearing 130kg The nurse will check it again tomorrow morning but I'm trying not to stress GAHHHH!

Hopped on the scale this morning to quite a nice surprise I jumped on three different times in three different parts of the bathroom and it said the same weight everytime... 99.5kg! (218.9lb) That's under 100kg and I haven't been this weight for years It has definitely motivated me to eat better this week, I really want to get to 95kg before my birthday next month

That's 0.22lbs So disappointed I know that I haven't been eating too well but I still thought I would have lost at least half a kilo I called in to get a fill but they are closed until FEBRUARY! I can't wait that long to get a fill F-R-U-S-T-R-A-T-E-D!

I'm still alive! Sorry I've been a horrible blogger Just don't have too much to write about I haven't been eating that well and I've hit a plateau I'm waiting until after Christmas to go for a fill so I can start 2011 fresh and more determined as ever to prepare for Europe! I have been taking lots and lots of photos though I like going through my old clothes and seeing how they fit compared to pre-op Here is an example: June 2009 December 2010 I can actually wear the top how it was intended to be worn...as a dress! However, my legs are still a bit too chunky to wear it without jeans/leggings

Official weigh in today was 100.2kg Total loss of 25.3kg (55.66lbs) Half way to my goal of 50kg lost! It's pretty exciting I'm actually learning to love my body it has a really nice shape at the moment and I can see where I have lost fat My legs however are still as stumpy as they've always been It looks horrible being 5ft tall and having really short and chunky legs! I cancelled my fill today which I don't regret one bit My work Christmas party is tomorrow and it's at a Mexican restaurant so I'm not sure how many good food options I will have to choose from My food choices are not so great at the moment I barely eat anything all day I just don't know what I can eat for main meals I try to eat the same food as the family but sometimes it's just hard I've been having alot of problems with chicken lately I can only eat it if it is really moist and covered in sauce (most of the time the sauce/gravy is high in calories so I try not to eat chicken too muc...

Wow this weekend was a huge one Two family parties in one weekend was exhausting It was amazing to see everyone though My cousin's wedding on Saturday was beautiful. It was outside in their yard, which was decorated beautifully with tea light candles and lanterns. This was their second wedding ceremony because they had previously gone to Thailand to get married but it wasn't technically legal when they came home. Such a simple ceremony but it was beautiful. Short and Sweet My cousin's engagement on Sunday was tiring Huge party, too many people, too much fuss It was nice seeing the family though One thing that I hate about big parties is that they were catered and it wasn't self serve. The caterers were there to serve the food, which drove me crazy! They had so much food but I didn't want to risk getting stuck so I ate very little which I think drove the caterers mad because the lady was actually rude enough to say "Well you waited in line and that's all you...

Cannot believe that it has already been 16 weeks since Surgery It feels like yesterday I was just waking up in recovery Getting the surgery was the best decision I've ever made and I do not and will not ever regret going through it I'm seeing my extended family on the weekend, for the first time since April this year and I'm hoping they'll notice the change Here are some stats: Starting Weight 16/7/2010 = 125.5kg (276.1lb) Current Weight 02/11/2010 = 101.2kg (222.64lb) TOTAL LOST - 24.3kg (53.46lb) Measurements (cms): July 2010 and November 2010
