Topic: RE: Hump Day!!!!!
I wish I had been a slower loser. It seemed like I hit my doc's goal so fast. So, now when the scale moves up and down, it's sooooooooooooo depressing. I've been the same numbers for about 3 weeks. I kind of miss those big scale moves. lol
You're doing great. You'll definitely make the Century Club by May 8th! I know you can do it!
I've learned that WLS and being sick do NOT mix. I got sick, ate almost nothing, and freaking kept gaining and gaining. Of course, my bod was holding onto EVERYTHING because I was starving. Try to get something in you. I know it's hard and it sucks, but you're in starvation mode so that crappy scale just won't move.
You're doing fantasti****ep positive!!!!

Cyn....
Glad to hear you are getting rid of the old, and on with the new....always enjoy getting to start out with a fresh system.
To be honest....the chocolate is not what is getting me I don't think.....have cut way back on it.....antibiotics didnt cut my sinus infection....and at the same time depleted all my vitamin levels I believe. Have been having lots of hot tea and saltines....so probably retaining water, and to many carbs....but when you dont feel good what are you to do? I have found that being sick just throws eveything off now.....
No dont htink the scale is broke....think I am broke.....wish duct tape would help....hey it might if I put it over my mouth....My Mom loves that about me.....that no matter what the situation is, I can at least laugh at it......
I drank my EAS first thing this morning....had some Decaf....and vitamins....working on weight smart oatmeal now.....
Come visit me and you can jump on our trampoline....might be a sight, but I hope to use it as soon as the weather improves...rain coming this week I believe.
This Saturday I am off to get my nails done and then to dinner with Hubby for Anniv.
I sent you something in the mail.....well it goes out today...so look for it soon.....
I keep my eyes on my Century Goal, but if I dont get it by May 8th....will just keep trying!! Just find it so hard to not compare myself with others.....
Much Love,
Holly

Hi Holly! I wish you would post. We can help you!!! I haven't been on much myself. Mark is shocked. lol I'm so busy working on the new business that I dream that biz. lol I'm bouncing around by 3 pounds. Can't figure out why but I'm bouncing. My body must know we see the surgeon next week. It's being difficult.
I can't wait for Spring to get here! I want to WALK again! Since my trampoline is a goner, my one post-op dream is now gone. I really, really wanted to jump on Britt's trampoline.
I don't think we can fix it because it's pretty bent up. Oh well.
Hopefully I'll get some time to get back on Yahoo Instant Messenger. My "old" computer has to be rebuilt so my new one (that I built all by myself!) is in the box and ready to go. We just have to transfer everything over. That's easy enough.
AMD and Intel gave Mark some new motherboards and stuff so I can easily build another backup and throw old faithful out next week. lol I think we have WAY too many computers here.
Cheer up Holly!!! Step away from the scale. Maybe that's what's bringing you down. As long as you're getting in the protein, fluids and vitamins and STAYING AWAY from the chocolate (
) you'll get there. I wish your scale would do a big move for you. Maybe it's broken?
Hang in there hon!

Good Morning Everyone.....
I have been reading posts everyday, just not posting everyday myself. Everyone is doing wonderful!!!!
Glad to say that I saw my tulips poking out from the earth this morning......a sure sign that Spring is getting near!!!!!
I am having some rough times, and have decided not to post as I am afraid I will bring everyone down.....but I have put everything in God's hands and hope that things will work themselves out.
Love to all!!!!!
Holly
Topic: RE: Shopping and Mind Games...
Way to go Jamie,
I really responded to chew you out. We are looking at pictures from way back in October....that is a lifetime in the WLS world....LOL.
Come on...time to get some new pics posted. Come to think of it...I need to follow my own advice.

Topic: RE: **OT--Cyndi, Well........
I talked with my pal today and she's going in there with me tomorrow to help me spend my card. LOL She's VERY outspoken and this should be good. lol
Britt's doing much better. She still wants to tone down a lot. She's very upset about her size. Well, Susie (my best friend) is a belly dancer. She's offered to teach Britt and some of her pals how to belly dance. She told them the first thing that will tone is their core....namely those bellies. The girls were THRILLED! So, it looks like we'll have a munchkin belly dance troupe at my house on Friday nights. lol At this point, I'm willing to do ANYTHING to help Britt. I remember how much it sucked to be the biggest (weight and height) in the class. I can't do anything about her height but I can help with her weight.
And, after I spend this gift card, I won't return to Fashion Bug. Their loss!
