Wow girl you look awsome!!! Congrats. Norma Cantu

Nice pics! Don't worry about the weight gain maybe you still have fluid and swelling from the ps or those extra 7 lbs could be from your new boobies Anyway you look great! Kelly

Hi everyone I just added a couple of pics to my profile from last Saturday night, I was 10 days post breast lift w/ implants. Keep in mind that it was only 10 days and that the implants still have not "settled" into the pocket and are still riding high.... I'm thrilled with my results and my plastic surgeon-he did a wonderful job. I am currently less than thrilled w/ my weight post PS though, I've posted before about gaining 21.5lbs overnight afterwards, I have since lost back down to the mid 180's range but am struggling daily to try to get back to 175lbs-where I was pre-PS. My PS will not release me to any exercise until I am 6 weeks post-op so I still have 4 weeks to go, grrrr-that does not help with getting the weight to come off! I still am going to make it to 145, I am determined and am going to try my very best to make it by my wedding day-8/26/06. Wish me luck with that as the weight loss is miserably slow these day and I struggle daily with discouragement and old demons-but I intend to be as strong as possible!!! Good luck to everyone and have a peek at the pics if you want! Have a great day! Mandy 320/175/182.5/*goal 145*

Eating nothing but eggs and meat might cause you some cholesteral problems. You have done so fantastic on this program. Concentrate on getting extra water and exercise.. and watch your salty food intake.... it will melt away those few extra pounds. The gain could be water retention. Don't fret. Don't take "drastic" measures. Your years of yo-yo dieting are behind you. Just keep with your routine. You are a true inspiration !!!! Karen G

I guess it's normal to bounce up and down a few pounds but it does make you stop and think when you see the scale go up instead of down. Going the night shift has put the fear in me as I remember when I went nights 6 years ago at the nursing home and piled on the weight. I have a whole workout room (gym) in my house and don't use it but I guess it's time to start jumping on that trade mill, bike and lifting weights. I'm thinking of going on the Atkins diet for a while. Eating nothing but eggs and meat. That will drop the weight. Donna 338/156 (hope to go back to 153 soon)
