The Wedding is Over
Dec 26, 2008
Maya's wedding was 16 December and I weighed 78.8 kilo the week before the big event.
I travelled before the big day to Kiryat Malachi and stayed by Chanan's family until after the wedding when I finally returned home to Tzfat the night of the Sheva Berachot on the 1st night of Chanuka.
It was hard being away from home for so long. I made sure to bring my vitamins and my protein powder however I stayed away from home much longer than I originally planned and Chanan's mom is a good cook who fries a lot of her food or makes mashed potatos or pasta every day. I do cheat on my eating plan but I choose how to cheat and when. But being by my "in-laws" is beyond temptation. And now the 8 days of Chanuka-latkes and donuts etc.
I'm glad I am home.

Almost at my mini-goal
Nov 18, 2008
My dietician friend came over today with her special digital scale - that one goes on barefoot.
Ta- dum! 78.1 K ! And I have 27 more days until my daughter's wedding with a mini-goal to weigh 78 by 16 December.
My bloods and urines results came back. There are still deficiencies that I am working to correct. PTH went up (which is not good) but my D3 also went up a drop but unfortunately still very low for even someone with a normal gut. My 24 hour calcium urine was 75 which is at the bottom end of normal of 100. So I'm adding another Calci-chew a day (it also has D3 in it) in the hopes it will do the trick on my calcium and my D3.
My next visit with the surgeon is only the end of January. I think I should have another mini-goal in mind for then.....maybe 75 K? I need to be realistic and I am not in any rush to lose weight quickly or ever feel deprived. How I lose the weight is not a contest.

Long time no post

But not out of "negligence" ; I would just rather be able to post the weight loss at the same time.
I weighed myself at the HMO- 80 K in winter clothes and my regular shoes but in real ladies undies. That in itself is a "milestone" for me!
Waiting on test results of D3. PTH in the graph - but at 57; lprevious was 51. I also brought in the 24 hour urine for VMA+. Its results take three weeks. And asked to do 24 hour urine for calcium.
Had a flu shot.

Cheating the scale?
Oct 06, 2008
Is it cheating to wear different clothes in the hope the scale will show less?
I normally wear a bra and 3/4 sleeved shirt,a skirt and 3/4 tricot pants (as my underwear*),sports socks and hiking shoes. However I decided to find a pair of underwear "instead of"; put on imitation Crocs "instead of"; and a long-sleeved (too big now) shirt.
The scale at the HMO went to 79.8 KILO.
Now if I can only find underwear that I can feel comfortable wearing. What I took today was my daughter's boyfriend's "too large" pair (and he is a skimmy dude). I was out and about for four hours walking around town - and no sweat, chafe, rub or blister.
Might be the start of a new era! Less laundry too. Maybe when my daughter comes home for a visit, she'll take me to buy real underweaer.
*I haven't worn real underwear since '93 as I can't stand rubbing,chafing,sweating, blistering thighs.
OH YEAH......the scale showed 79.8 kilo. My mini goal was to weigh 80 K by Rosh HaShanna. I guess I did it.
Re-losing
Sep 18, 2008
I think I have lost the weight (and more) from what I gained at the Retreat. One of my friends who is a dietician visited me with her scale and calipers. This is a scale one steps on barefoot. In July when I stepped on it showed 84.4 K and now it was 80.5 K. I am using this number for my "tracker" as when I weighted at my HMO I had decided to wear different shoes than all the other times. The main thuing is that I am losing.
And as I am losing I realize that I need to invest in real underwear as for years now I have been wearing 3/4 thin pants instead of underwear especially as my legs rubbed and chafed and when I leave home I do so only in a skirt or a dress. Now the extra material of the pants is "bunching up" and rubbing me the wrong way. But when I buy my new underwear, I want cute ones and not neccessarily "sexy".

I Have Returned
Sep 11, 2008
I went to the Ladies Retreat in Rosh Pina and I'm back. I uploaded two pics to my blog for all to see. I almost look sexy !
I ate and enjoyed myself (the joys and frustrations of not dumpimg). I swam and got sunburned. I met new ladies and learned about other countries that they had immigrated from and other eras in history as ladies told their life stories.
And now back to my not so normal life of no real schedule and eating more properly. I hope by the time I go on Monday to my HMO for PT for my ankle that I will have lost whatever weight I may have gained during my "holiday".

WOW 81.5 kilo
Sep 06, 2008
I am hoping to weigh 80 K by Rosh HaShanna and 78 K by 16 December when my daughter gets married. It's beginning to seem like a reality! Who knows, I might even weigh less than my daughter one day. She is taller than me and weighs 67 K. But for now I will update my tracker goal at what it is.
Tomorrow I am off to a Ladies retreat in scenic Rosh Pina.

Not much to say as the weight loss is slow...
Aug 26, 2008
I weighed myself at the HMO and the weight seems stuck. I did not gain (although I did enjoy myself when away). I guess I'm at a dreaded stall. I really hope to reach a goal of 78 kilo by my daughter's wedding in December. The surgery is a tool and I still have to work it - a life-long job ahead of me in making proper food choices.
The Weight Drops Slowly
Aug 11, 2008
I cannot tell a lie - if I want junk, I eat it however I then compensate with more liquid and more protein. Yestreday I weighed myself at the HMO and I was 83 K. I find I am capable of eating quite a bit and it is so easy to fall into the trap of "grazing".
I am losing and feeling better and looking better.
Vitamins and supplements are important in my schedule of daily living.

Tummy Troubles
Aug 03, 2008
A couple of weeks ago I did an abdominal CT. Part of the results showed a problem with an ovary. I had a complete hysterectomy 3 years ago! Today I went for a US vagina. I got the "all clear".
And yet today has just been one of those days where I'm "running to the loo". Cramps and I overate and then vomited shortly after.
I did weigh myself at the hospital (although a different scale than my regular). I weighed 83.5 - a loss since last week but not real proof to me that I lost.
Everything is just a "proccess".
