Long Time No Post

I wonder if anyone is still following my blog because it has been two months since my last post. I'm finally 7 lbs away from being under 200 which is amazing, but my weight loss has been so slow I don't know if I can wait till this time next year to be at my goal weight. I'm frustrated because have also been working out a lot eating pretty well and only have three weeks till my husband comes home from his deployment. My goal was to weigh less than him when he came home, but since that isn't going to happen now I just want to be under 200. At this point I have to keep my nose to the grindstone and not fall back into unhealthy weigh loss traps. For example I have been kicking around the idea of going back on the pre-op liquid diet for the next three weeks. Why is it I can't be satisfied with my progress and be proud of where I am. The good news is I have never gained back any weight. I'm luckily a person who doesn't gain weight back, but I have a terrible time getting rid of it.

Because of my uncertainty I would like to know what you think.

1. Should I do the liquid diet for the next three weeks to make my goal of being under 200lbs?

2. Should I keep exercising and not weigh myself until after Chris comes home?

On a positive note I'm now running for 50 min at a time on the treadmill.
