Hi all! It's been awhile since I checked in, I know, but I really didn't have much to report. I'm still trickling (Praise be to God)(I'm truely grateful). I'm down 54lbs, I still haven't formally exercised yet. Everyday I'm going to start, but haven't. I'm doing fine. I've had no complications of any kind. December 2, was my fifth month mark, I weight 207.2 lbs, I can pretty much eat anything. I have to be careful about somethings like bread and excessive sugar, but I do eat them sometimes. Oh well until next time, be well!!!

Hi all, went to the dr. on Wednesday, he said if I started exercising regularly I would lose more weight. I'm down 42 lbs by my scale/calculations and I am truely grateful. I'm gonna try to get past the procrastination about exercising. I don't want to change my start time for work 6:00 am, and when I get home after picking up and dropping off my grands from school, I really don't feel like doing anything, but here goes!!!!!

Hi all!!! Well I'm down 41 lbs this morning!!Well arighty then!!! I'm feeling good, the weight is still trickling, but it is still moving so I'm grateful. I still haven't started an exercise program. I walk at work when I can and I am definitly doing more all around. I sweat at the thought of doing anything (I guess that's good). I have a birthday coming up and for the first time I will have accomplished something from last year (I have made a statement to lose weight every year for the last 10 years). I so glad I finally did something for myself. Praise be to God!!!!! Take care all.

Hi all, I didn't post the week before last because my trickle had stopped completely, I was in a funk and didn't want to pass that on to anyone. I went to the Dr. last week on the 6th, he said I was doing well and had lost 11 lbs for that month. By the way, I started losing again in the middle of last week, so when I went to see the doctor I was down to 229 lbs.. I have since lost a couple more lbs and am down to 227, whoopiiiii!!!!! Although I haven't started any formal exercising I did walk around my job last week about 4 times (that's about six blocks) I didn't walk fast but believe me I was sweating profusly when I finished. (I'm down 34 lbs altogether - this is my tenth week) Until next time be well!

Hi all, I doing well this week. I've cut back on the fruit and fruit juices, back to crystal light. I trying to stay low with the carbs. Nothing different going on with the weight, just a slow trickle. But it is going so I won't complain. I'm at 233 this morning, down from 261. Until next time take care!!!

Hi all, Well where do I begin? There seems to be a discrepancy between the scale at the doctors office and mine. Before surgery both scales read the same 261 lbs. Now they differ by three pounds. Yesterday my scale said 237.8 lbs., their scale said 241 lbs.. Now at home I weigh in the morning before eating or drinking. My doctor appointments have been in the late afternoon, so I guess that's the problem. I also have not been eating properly, I eat fried chicken tenders, they go down good. I'm drinking too much fruit juice (100% apple), I'm eating too much fruit (high in sugar, although the right kind). Whatever! I didn't think I would have to diet again! But I do! Oh well here goes!!! Until next time.
