Wow, long time no update!

Well it's been awhile since my last post.  I am now down to 156.6 lbs and my weigh in is tonight.  I've lost 27.2 lbs since October 19 and I am thrilled about that.  My stomach is still my huge trouble spot and as of yesterday I am doing the Tupler Technique which consists of a belly splint and exercises to close the muscle separation (diastasis recti).  I am tentatively hopeful because my waist has been 40-41 inches for ages, despite the weight loss, but when I measured it last night after wearing the belly binding all day it measured 39.5 inches!  I was so shocked and excited!  It will take awhile before the changes in my belly become permanent because the muscles need to knit together.  I've been doing the exercises when I drive the kids to school because you are supposed to do them sitting so that's been convenient.  It is quite painful and makes me realize how weak those muscles are.  I am very hopefully that it will work.  I put on a pair of size 12 pants on Sunday and they fit!  I can't wait until I hit the 140s, I haven't since that since 1998!  Will update after my weigh in tonight.
