That's right, folks - I've officially lost 60 pounds from my highest weight ever (35 since banding). Let's see, what does 60 pounds mean to me...
- It means I'm finally wearing the smallest clothes that I brought with me to Korea, comfortably.
- It means I have to buy a new belt soon because my old one is nearly useless.
- It means I no longer feel like a fat tub o' lard walking around Korea--now I'm just fat (Koreans called my old coworker "fat", who's 6ft. tall and about 170lbs, so take it with a grain of salt).
- It means I feel like I look pretty good with my clothes on, but underneath all the Spanx there's quite a few... jiggly bits. I'm okay with this (for now--we'll re-evaluate after I have a baby.)
- It means that my blood pressure has been completely normal the last 2 times I've gotten it checked.
- It means that I'm much more comfortable taking the KTX now. The seats are about as wide as airplane seats. I would say I'll be much more comfortable on the long flight home in April, except that I'll be nearly 6 months pregnant and I'm pretty sure it'll be one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life.
- It means that I can shop for pants again in regular Old Navy and Gap stores!
- It means that I weigh less than my dad!
I'm sure there's more, but this is what I came up with on the spur of the moment. I can't believe I'm almost in the 230's; I wonder when I'm going to "stall out" and start equalizing my weight loss with baby weight gain. I love my band. I know not everyone is this lucky, but so far I really haven't had any major plateaus. I don't keep a food journal and I don't count calories or fat or protein or anything. I just try to be aware of what I'm putting in my mouth--I eat relatively healthy meals, so if I want to go out and splurge a bit, I don't feel bad or guilty. I <3 Lola! (Remember, Lola is my band.)

You are doing a great job! Congrats on the pregnancy!! I am a little behind in the blogs :( I am interested to see how you go being a relative newbie and being pregnant with a band.
Yes!! Nice job! I'm proud of you :) Totally understand what it feels like to be walking around Korea with people looking at you like a "fat tub of lard" :P We're trying to plan a trip for this summer (we'll see if we have money for plane tickets) and I'm hoping I will be looked at less with that "tub of lard" look :P Anywho, keep up the wonderful work!
Great job...I think the greatest NSV is that your blood pressure is normal. You have been consistent and persistent and have set a great example.
