I was dreading this weekend but it actually turned out pretty great with my friends and blech with the baby shower and my stupid SIL but that was a tiny part of it. Had a great weigh in today and I'm only 2 pounds from a normal BMI. I can totally do it by Christmas which was my goal!

HW: 377

LW: 154

TW: 151

That's great! I'm glad it went well! I had a girls weekend, and while there were plenty of wls friendly foods, I was worried about my weigh in. But I also had a good week in the end. Funny how that happens....my first goal has been to get under 300, followed closely by under 290 (when I metmy husband). It's getting closer and closer. I still have doubts sometime about failing at this, but I try to keep perspective and remember that I've already managed to lose more weight in the last few months than I ever have!

have a great week!

I had those same fears a lot in the beginning, but got though them. You will, too.

Keep up the good work!!!

Thanks! That's what I love about these boards. It's great to tap into this shared experience. My family and friends are great, but they really can't get it.

Wow, you had a great week! You're doing great. Just keep it going. I had those same doubts but you can definitely do this!

Awesome, Melinda!! Keep it up!!

I was feeling down because on some level I think I want to lose 5 pounds, but really am not doing anything about it. I am at goal, but this past spring I was 5 pounds lighter and liked how that made me feel (my knees are shot and the 5 pounds made a difference).

For some reason, recently my weight seems to have shifted to my boobs. This makes my boyfriend VERY happy, but me, not as much...lol. If I were not so friggin old, I would honestly worry that I was pregnant. Oh, well. Maybe I will actually do something about the 5 pounds before the holiday****

The comment about the boyfriend being happy made me laugh lol. So random that the weight is in your boobs all of a sudden.

Hey everyone, My name is Mylene and I have been a member since 2009 but have just recently rediscovered the site.   I started the WLS journey in January when I attended a seminar.  Went through the usual pre-op tests and hoops for the insurance.  Had surgery on 6/14/16.  My highest was 466 and at 5'8" tall that made my BMI 70.9.  This morning I weighed in at 361.4, down 104.6 pounds in just under 5 months and a BMI of 55.0.  No great insights just needing support.  What does HW, LW, and TW stand for?
