11 months post-op came and went

It was a poor month for weight loss. I gained something like 7-8lbs of water when I started a different birth control method. That, on top of a stall, made me avoid the scale. So far I have lost 167lbs. I am about to lose again I think, I usually lose right after each month's surgery anniversary - for a week or so.

I am doing well, I feel good. I get dizzy a lot but otherwise I feel very good, and I appreciate how much more deeply I sleep. I think I went a few years without quality sleep. It definitely makes a difference!

My goal is 175lbs lost by one year out, and that is very reasonable. I am also really hoping to be at 200lbs lost by the time we go visit Ryan's family in October. That is also do-able but perhaps not quite as reasonable. A girl can hope though. That, and go to the gym. Ryan and I are determined to go to the gym more - we want to be hot ;)

Here are some before and afters:





In other news, Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is a long long long long movie. And its not very good.
