Today marks week 50. I am fast approaching 1 year and as I dare to say I am also approaching my goal. Slowly yes but still approaching. "shhhh....be vewy quite I'm hunting skwinny"...lol anyway I am in school now full time and am finding it so hard to exercise. Then I fin ally had a follow up from my mri on my back from the fall in May and I have 2  Bulging disks. One in my upper back and the other in m y lower. Which means I have to be very careful. I asked what I could do to help it and the doctor said "stay thin" I was like......I am NOT thin....yet, but it made me feel good. I had  my 1 year follow up last week with my surgeon and for the first time I left there feeling like HE was happy with my weight losss. The whole clinic was amazed. He told me I have already lost a very good outcome. He asked if I wanted to lose 10 more pounds I said the chart says 175 but I would be happy at 180 he says that would be fine but definatly no lower than 175. He also said if it is gonna happen it will happen now. Which I already knew. I told him I am currently losing 2 pounds a week and he was amazed. He said at this point that is very good. I really want to be in onederland by my 1 year. That is 2 weeks away and I am pretty confident I will actually get there. So last week I weighed 204.5 and today I weighed 203.2 so I only lost 1.3 pounds this week. I will take it and appreciate it though. So I need to lose 3.3 pounds in the next 15 days to get to onderland by the 15th, I CAN DO IT
