Another 1lb Bites the Dust!

Uggh I have tons to say... I get a lil long winded. Oh well.

So first I weighed in at 205 this morning... 1lb gone forever. I am running for ONEderland at this rate 199 here I come. I hope by xmas. That's my present to myself.

I also have noticed that theres certain things I really can't eat at all anymore. So of them have me baffled. If I drink Margaritas or Chocolate milk its like my throat seals up and I cannot get it down.. it will come right back up. Yukk.

Bread is another one... But that's kind of a no brainer. I can eat about 1/2 a slice if its toasted well.

There is a great thread on Lapbandtalk.com that is called "what I have lost" it has a list of what everyday items weigh... You can compare you weight loss to these to get a better understanding for the amount of poundage.

SO far as of today I have lost :

66 lbs = fats and oils an average American eats in a year
