I have hit the under 240 mark!

I am very excited! I am weighing 238 right now. This is a major accomplishment for me. I have had two fills since my surgery. I am feeling more full and satisfied for longer periods of time, but I think I may need one more fill. I have not called my doctor's office since I have my next appointment already set up for next month. The second fill I called in and made the appointment. I just want to see how I do until my official appointment. I have been exercising at least 3-4 times per week. I try to do 30 minutes on my treadmill at home if nothing else, but a few days out of the week I do 30 minutes on the treadmill at the gym and 15 minutes on the eliptical machine. I will be getting back to swimming laps next week. The exercise specialist asked me to stay clear of the water for a little while longer, but I'm good to go next week. I was also asked not to participate in Zumba classes, but I love it so much I started back this past Saturday. So the instructor always shows ways to change up the routines so there is not so much moving around. So that's what I did instead of doing the full-fledged turning and twisting that is normally done with Zumba. I felt fine afterwards because I did not push myself. I am getting many compliments on losing weight and that feels great. But like I told my husband and mother I guess I won't really feel it until I go out to try on clothes. I have not bought any new clothes and, yes, my clothes do fit baggy now, but it's not to the point where they are falling off or anything. so I don't feel in a rush right now to start getting new clothes. I can't wait though. I have purposely avoided going to clothing stores right now. I decided when I start buying, I will take things out of my closet, depending on what I bought---so if I buy five things, five old things come out--match for match...unless I need to do things more drastically...wouldn't that be great! Anyway, I am proud of myself for getting this far and looking forward to a whole lot more!
