Documentation of 15 pound weight loss - On my home scale I am down 14.2 pounds. On my doctor's scale, fully dressed, I was down 11 pounds. The nutritionist said there is usually a 3-4 pound difference between home scales and their scale. Yay! I am still walking at least 2 miles everyday (more like 3 nowadays) and am feeling great.

I will hopefully only have to wait til the beginning of October to get my next appointment with the surgeon and then I should have my surgery date! Could I be more excited about this whole thing? I can't wait til I get down another size. I think I will feel like I am at a more manageable high weight then. Right now I am just at the top of the top and it still feels not so great. I can roll the waistband of my jeans now - that was exciting. :) As long as this weight just keeps coming off, I will have this smile on my face; and as long as I keep doing what I am doing, the weight will keep coming off. :)
