yes, I was working and didn't have any time to start the weigh in as I was late getting up. I've had a terrible sore throat for 3 weeks already and the pain wakes me up throughout the night. Boy,,did I eat this week. It scares me just how much I can take in. I am up 2 pounds, but I know it will come off this week. Lisa,,your tummy tuck is coming up so soon. make sure you take before and after pix for us. Have a good week.

My famiy thinks I look skinny at size 14 lol I surely must have looked pretty porky before to be called skinny wearing a size 14 to my family but I hope i will eventually fit my body into size 10 but for now I am so greatful to have the tummy tuck, I think it finally hit me that just over a week I am gonna have this done, I am not nervious yet but i think it is gonna hit me all at once maybe at my pre op apt it will seem real and it is really happening, I keep thinking this is not really gonna really happen.Maybe by then it will seem real

Dont be discouraged, I am losing weight still and wanting a tummy tuck and my insurance doesnt cover it :(
You look great and after your surgery, you will feel great too.
I know I would feel better having this loose skin gone, but I will have to deal with it until I can afford to fix it.
I am 127.5 today
I didnt gain or lose over the holiday.
I had to buy a new outfit for my neices wedding and I had to buy a size 4!!!
What the hell? I have never been this size in my life. Some of my family that we never see didnt even know who I was.........LOL
Have a great week everyone!

Well Happy belated Thanksgiving to all My OH family, I just have not had time to get on computer Long enough to type anything to all of you, But to all of you I think about you everyday and look forward to read from each and everyone of you, Our A teams matter to me I am very greatful for the love and support you all have give me, I would not be as sucessful with out my OH group.
I have a local support group I go to once a month but I am extremly shy to even talk up plus this is pretty much structured and seems no matter what odd thing u r having they kinda say refer to the doc. I think they have newbies comming in and they don't want u to scare newbies off so they cannot give u support I need LOL. I am so proud of my OH family that keeps comming back and stays with me threw the Thick and thin like Dee said. I Love the cookies also and man this is gonna be such a hard time for me not moving much for xmas and no tighten and tummy tuck recovery so we will see how it goes over the Holidays. I am fighting weigh gain to the Max as i really need a fill but Doc will not do it tell 6 weeks post surgery due to swelling Ugh.. I am fighting hunger and I hate that feeling so bad something I have not felt in 20 mos is hunger Ugh.. I do not the feeling I can eat a horse lol

Ps I could actually sleek threw the crowds on black friday I actually felt skinny for first time. 
I cooked up a 25-lb. turkey, and made all the traditional sidedishes plus I made pumpkin, pecan & apple pies. I ate a ton of turkey and only a spoonful of some of my favorite sidedishes. I munched on veggies & dip and later in the evening I enjoyed a small sliver of pecan pie. It was delicious and our day was wonderful.
I'm soooo very THANKFUL for my A-team friends. You are my only source of support. Living so far away from the city I never joined a support group because there isn't one locally around here. So I have relied up all of you and you guys have been the BEST! I read everyones comments and when I can I post myself. You guys have always been there for me and I'm so grateful.
I survived Thanksgiving without gaining any weight and now my next hertle is Christmas and all those scrumptious cookies!!! Those cookies are my downfall. But I'm committed to baking a ton of Christmas cookies for all my neighbors & friends. It's what I do every year and I'm not going to stop now. I'm just gonna have to find a way to be really disiplined and keep my hands out of the cookie jar so to speak!
Keep up the good work everyone and keep posting to let us know how you are doing in your journey. It really is a blessing to me to hear from everyone else.
And work those pounds off with LOTS of Christmas SHOPPING! LOL!
! my family who has stuck with me thick and thin.
My friends including my oh family!
Being able to enjoy the holidays and not feel like I am under a microscope!
