On Pins and Needles

GOAL REACHED: OVERSIZED FORMAL WEAR

Sorry for the blurry on these photos but it was the best I could do at David's Bridal really quickly. So I got my dress about 2 weeks ago and had tried it on over my clothes and it was huge! The whole dress was pouring off of me. Well you can imagine what it looked like now that I had lost even more weight. I tried to take pics so I would be able to remember how huge the dress was but I don't think you can tell so much.

I ended up going to get my alterations at this great little place over the Pancake House in Rockville because David's Bridal was unable to work on the dress since I didn't purchase the dress there. It was all good because the lady I got really knew her stuff. There is a lot she has to do with the dress. She ahs to ake out the boning of the dress in order to take it in like 4" on both sides, she has to remove the straps & reapply tighter, she has to cinch in the breast to make the top lay across my chest, she has to bring in the hips about 2" on both sides, and she has to bring the length up about 1-11/2". (I got extra length on my dress so that a tailor could make it the perfect size). As she was pinning my dress all over (I mean LOTS of pins) it was starting to take shape and looked so elegant. I pick up the finished product on September 4th. I can't wait to see it!

Moovin Right Along

STATS:

SW: 268

LW: 248

CW: 243!!!!!

***BMI***
268- 39.6
243- 35.4 AWESOME!!!

I am so proud today because I was thinking to myself not to expect too much. I got my shot and next round of pills exactly one week ago and at that weigh-in I was still at 248 (which I have to admit I was proud of since the last time they saw me I was at 255). 243 is so great though especially considering I didn't take my pills for four days during the week. I decided to check in a little with myself to make sure I wasn't relying too much on the medicine and sure enough I am on track. I can't wait to be in the 230s just 4 more pounds to go and I am really going to push to make those 4 pounds this week!

Melinda's wedding is about a month away so I have a lot to do to get to my goal of 220s by then but seeing myself so close to the 230s is def. a real incentive. I have been trying to do the Biggest Loser Yoga Workout and really get more into exercise.

Progress

When I went to my appointment with Dr. Gupta on Tuesday, I was still carrying all the weight from my congratulations lunches and my brief "off the wagon" time. At the appointment I discussed my nauseau with them and they suggested I begin taking the time release pill which is the same dose just released throughout the day instead of one big release in the morning. It was also suggested that I make sure I eat my 5 meals a day again.

MIRACLE!!!!

I have been doing really good about following the directions and have incorporated in exercise! YEAH! So from Tuesday to today I lost 7-pounds WOW!!!!
