Ahhh Saturday - not just any normal Saturday, but today marks a year since I had Lap Band surgery! And what a year it has been!
At this point since the beginning of my journey in late 2010 - I have now lost 46.5 kilos (101.9lbs) - I've lost over 100lbs!!! My weight is at 124.4 kilos (273.7lbs) - still a way to go but at least it is in the right direction.
My clothes size is down to 18-20 on the bottom and 2XL (20-22ish) on the top. At the beginning I was up near the 30-32 mark and at least 4XL.
Comparison picture:
Food wise:
Brunch was bacon and eggs - yum!
Lunch was Turkish Vege Salad platter at the mall - some parts couldn't eat as not lap band friendly and not paleo but what I could eat was good..
Had a fabulous shopping trip with Kate at the mall. Clothes, shoes, nail polish, cosmetics, stationary amongst other things were bought - love to shop!
Avoided chocolate temptation at Butlers cafe where they always give you a free chocolate with a hot drink purchase - I kept for hubby when I got home :) I get coffee - he got chocolate - win win!
Dinner was at the Working Mens Club where I had an appetiser seafood basket - yum! And water of course!
No actual excercise today - just walking around the mall for 4 hours :)
Oh and what is about 101 pounds?

You're amazing :) I still keep coming across old photos that remind me how far you've come! I love the comparison photos too. Always harder to fit healthy habits in when you start school for the year - especially with deaning. Sounds like you're doing really well and all the crazy start-of-year work will plateau in a week or two I'm sure.
