Hi there Maria, I usually try to make sure that everyone on this board gets at least one response. There you were, way down there, and somehow we all missed acknowledging your post. We are usually (and try hard to be) a pretty welcoming group. You have done very well on your journey. Keep up the great work and keep us posted on your progress. I'd go with the 124...it is very impressive and no matter how you lose it, it all counts. John

Thanks for the concern John. I'm doing better. My baby girl's birthday was 2/25 and I did end up having a tiny bit of cake. I felt icky later but it was nice to celebrate with her. She ended up getting Guitar Hero for PS2 and a lovely hot pink flute. LOL No, she's not spoiled. It's funny you mention your weight loss. LOL I hit 147 on Valentine's Day and a high of like 149.7. This morning my scale was 146.0. I was shocked to finally see a new number. LOL March is looking pretty good! My hubby's in the air heading for the West Coast, Britt and I are bachelorettes for a few days, I'll get housecleaning done. Darn, I'm almost optimistic today! LOL I would weigh in at my PCP's office but he has an antique scale. I stick with my little scale that's become a good friend. Have a terrific week May team! * Cyndi *

Hi everyone, Cyndi, I'm glad to hear that your pain was nothing too serious. I became concerned for you when I saw your posting over on the RNY board and everyone was directing you to the ER. I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. I had a pretty good week that ended with my daughter's birthday. Yes, I had cake and ice cream...but still smaller amount than in the old days. I don't dump officially, but I do feel pretty rotten afterwards for an hour or two...so I limit my excursions. Highest: 347 Before Liquid Diet: 311 Last week: 205 This week: 203 Loss this week: 2 pounds Total pounds lost: 144 Pounds to goal: 13 pounds I searching for a bright spot here...here it is 3 days into March and I have already have lost twice as much as I did in February. How is that for creative optimism? I'm starting to weigh officially at the doctors office every week again until I hit my goal weight. I just seem to do better when I have that official duty as a part of my week. My losses slowed way down when I decided that I could just weigh at home. I need that "facing reality" of my days in Weigh****chers...I guess. Have a great week. John
