Topic: RE: 2 month Follow up...
Thanks Rita,
I am kind of bummed with the stall but it seems like everybody is going through the same thing. I guess I am over reacting.

Hi Rita,
I noticed the same thing. We are not on here that often and we really need to stick by each other. We are like family now. We need to support each.
Montego's here 260/219/160 not sure about inches lost.
Struggles: Still not getting enough protein in, I have been at a stall for the last 3 weeks
What I'm proud of: losing the 40 pounds, walking for 45 minutes now instead of the 20 that I was always use to.
Focus for next week: stepping up my protein whether it taste good or not.
We need to check in like this at least once a week....

Topic: RE: A birthday party with no food?
very true about the gift cards. If I get cash, I will for sure spend it before its time to get the new wardrobe! The one thing I miss since the surgery is not the variety of food, but is the oppurtunity to clothes shop. Not that I was happy shopping for size 26 or 28's but ahhhh, the feeling of new clothes!!! And I refuse to go shopping for clothes right now with the ever-changing weight. I have had a fun time going through boxes of clothes from 2-3 yrs ago and seeing what fits and what goes in my too-big box now. The weight can't come off fast enough so I can get out there and get some clothes that are kick-a@@ and fit and are hopefully size 12 or smaller!!

Hey Gang!

I struggle with eating too fast when I sit down with the family. I also struggle with getting the water in - but I am paying more attention to that! My energy was very low for the past few weeks, but things are improving now so I hope to start excersizing.
What I am proud of: My husband can't stop telling me how great I look and my little brother who is a Jr. in high school visited me on Saturday and said, "You look different!" You know most men don't notice when people lose weight... so I thought that was a great compliment.
Focus for next week: trying to get more water in and start excersizing!
Take care everyone!

As for what to get you?? That's easy.... in only a few more months you will need HUNDREDS of dollars in clothing... so get them to give GIFT CARDS to department stores (Dillard's, Macy's, Sears, etc) so you can shop till you drop!!
Be sure to tell them NOT to get them at Lane Bryant, etc... since you won't be going for the sizes they carry anymore!!

Wowowowowowow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone is doing soooo wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you all are doing great and it is really helpful to record our struggles. It gets them down in black and white and then we really know what we need to work on. Also I think it is important to record what we are proud of because it helps us to realize that no matter how frustrated we are at the moment with what we are NOT doing right we can realize that we are doing something right!!!
I agree lets do this every week on Friday!!!
Hope everyone has a FABULOUS week and I know that this week we will try our best and work on our struggles and have good things to report this Friday!
Happy losing!!!
Rita

Kat's here... sig line shows weight currently... I dunno how many inches lost... was 9 inches at 6 weeks postop (that's almost a month ago now).
BIGGEST STRUGGLE: Exercise... I can't seem to make myself do JUST exercise... I do a lot of walking at the zoo or at the aquarium, or going kayaking, but to make myself just exercise for my weight loss... isn't happening.
More Struggles: Everything else related to our lifestyle changes...
I'm finding *I* am my biggest hurdle... I get too lazy to record my protein (though I know I get it all in). Water I measure in bottles so that's easy but I'm only getting in about 50 oz a day... at least I've figured out what was making me so sick... no more eggs, no more beef, for a while...
What I'm proud of: not much... weight loss has been tremendous, but it comes in spurts when I'm doing EVERYTHING right... but those spurts seem pretty scarce.
