    Wow Liz...gratulations!  That is huge.  What are you doing?




        
    Thanks, I finally unstopped my system...my poo was no longer acting like solid concrete!

    Ended up taking a stool softner as well as upping my fiber pills to THREE a day. And temp stopped my calcium...I will add that back one pill at a time. Need to actually take 3 a day.

    Ever since my bowel obstruction I am paranoid about being stopped up.  I had been having poos before that event, but my surgeon said I was packed full.  The obstruction was from kinking though.  Anyway...making sure there is a flow is really important.The volume though has never been the same.  It is very thin.  I'm going to make an appoint with a gastrointerologist. 




        
    I don't remember last weeks, as usual.

    I did hit 128.25 yesterday

    Today:  129...must have been those  tortilla shells I fried for homemade tacos




        
    LOL...frying can add stuff unneeded, that's for sure.

    You are hanging in there tho. Good going.

    I was down to 156.5 yesterday but bouced back up today.  I think it is fluid, I can feel it in my hands and I am on my period.

    That would do it...

    But you are still down a lb.

    Good going.

    Wow Liz!  You are really making that switch work for you!

    I'm holding steady at 124 - was up to 125 a couple of weeks ago, but took down the carbs and I am back where I want to be.  (Except for the peach cobbler I made from wonderful fresh peaches yesterday  - a girl's gotta have some fun!)

    I had a vanity sizing experience yesterday - I have a job interview tomorrow, and tried on my suit, which was too big, so I went to a Jones NY outlet to get a new one.  Size 4 pants fit me perfectly.... trust me, I am not a size 4, and never have been.  But I also took the time to get a nice manicure and hair touched up.  I always feel so much more confident when I look nice, so I'm ready to go!

    Keep cool.

    LOL...want to send some of that peach cobbler my way????

    Great going on the size 4, I know what you mean about vanity sizing tho...still nice to see that number.

    You are doing good.

    And thanks...I'm just glad I was able to fix it.

    Good going Liz!!!


    Last week: 109.8 lbs

    This week: 108.5 lbs (two days in a row)

    Minus 1.3 lbs

    Tightened up my eating a bit, but didn't exercise. Wonder, if I am losing muscle and water. Will find out next week, when I resume the weight training.

    Gail,

    You are doing good too...

    I NEED to do some weight training but that will have to wait til the budget is in better shape.

    Until then, I do what I can at home.

    Last week 101.6
    This week 103.8
    Total change +2.2
    I changed the batteries in my scale again.  Maybe I need to stop getting my batteries at the dollar store ;)  Anyway it seems my weight is all over the place but basically around the 105 mark so that is what I claim.  It goes up a pound or two and down a pound or two.  Weighing regularly helps keep me honest.

    LOL, Tazz, seems your scale batteries are making you nuts. But as long as your clothes fit and you feel good...keep it up.
