Weekly Weigh In, Before and Progress Pics, 2012 BOOBS, etc.

Getting back to weekly weigh in as part of my get back on track plan.

Saturday 6/23/12 - 270.8 (lowest I have been since surgery was 264, but got back up to 284 so I'll take 270!)

Above is me probably at my highest recorded weight of 386.


The above pictures were me at around 358, after I had started my medical weight loss program pre-surgery. Please ignore the junk in the background!



The above pics are me this week, so around 270.  Still about 100 lbs to go, but figured I need to start celebrating my progress.  Again, please ignore the junk in the background! I'm too lazy to crop it out! LOL

I have signed up for BOOBS 2012 in Chicago and I'm really excited to go!  I think this will be another piece of motivation for me.  I want to get as healthy as I can so I can walk all over Chicago!  I have never been to the Windy City, but I plan on looking up places of interest so I can plan some excursions while I'm there.  Anyone have any favorite places they have been in Chicago, please let me know.  Also, if you are going to BOOBS 2012 and have something fun planned let me know that too so I can see if I can join you!

I have been asked for WLS advice for the first time.  I never even thought about that aspect of it.  Just like I have asked Maria and other bandsters a billion questions, I'm sure others will ask me.  I've been asked about it before, but more out of curiosity, not for someone considering it.  I feel a little intimidated actually.  I am going to respond to her email with all the info I have and tell her to research, research, research!  She is considering all of the different WLS, but I really feel everyone has to do what is best for them, so I won't push her towards any particular one.

That's all I've got for today.  Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend!
