Topic: Hi Gang! Poll...
Just peeping my head in here to say hello! Hope you have a good weekend! I am off to work for the weekend...
My parents came to visit this week and it was really fun and a good week! I am so glad.
I am starting to plan for the holidays, looking at what to get people for Christmas presents etc. Can you believe that time is approaching already? Amazing...
I am excited that I am going to keep my weekend job afterall. Those of you that don't know I decided to step down from the Bariatric Coordinator job, it was way too much for me in my life right now with thinking of starting a family etc., would have required A LOT of overtime and I would have been salary paid and not much more money than I am making right now. I realize it isn't about the money but it has to be a factor when you consider I would be working triple what I am working now.
We are going to foster/adoption classes starting January and still waiting to hear back if I am approved for a pani removal from insurance then I would have to pick up the rest of the LBL.. still a lot but every bit helps. I don't have the documentation of rashes so it will prob be denied but I am trying nontheless. Should know by the end of october. We may also go the natural baby route, still deciding! Decisions, decisions.. lol. We are going to take one LAST big trip before our family starts. Our 5 year wedding anniversary is the end of November and we didn't go anywhere for my husbands 30th this past summer so will be to celebrate that too!
Here is the Poll Info...
So I want to try and start daily threads again with weekly weigh-ins. I am going to have the time to do this once again so I would love to... are you all wanting this? let me know... its about being accountable. We are all approaching 2 years out and this is where it gets harder and harder and we start seeing a lot of folks regaining b/c they have gotten away from the cardinal rules of postop life. 1 - protein first 2- no grazing 3 - getting vitamins in 4 - water 5 - exercise. So I want to hear from you all.. do you want daily accountability or just weekly weigh in wednesdays or both? I really wanna hear from *EACH* of you! Please..
Ok.. I am off to work, I will start the weekly stuff Monday if you are up for it! Need to pick back up on Beck too!!! LONG OVERDUE!
Hugs,
Melissa

Heather, honey
u absolutely don't have to post weight if it makes you uncomfortable but what is this talk about being lynched???? after all, you are eating for two so, of all of us, you definitely deserve a break.
i don't have any kids yet but hope to have 2 someday before i turn 40 (i'm 33 now). while i know i'll have to find a balance btw. maintaining weight loss and properly nourishing my baby, i fully expect to gain SOME weight in the process and then lose it after giving birth,---it's only natural.

I'm not posting this week's because I don't want to be lynched.
I'll just say baby and I are still maintaining, even though I eat constantly and am making sure to include complex carbs for baby's development.
Husband and brother say I'm like a bear. I hibernate and only come out to eat, or forage for food. Men.
I know you and Molly can do it Diana! Don't get all down, it's bad enough with the seasonal change of weather, the economy and the dang holidays coming!
And with that said, I'm going foraging again. Maybe yogurt before bed. Found it helps keep me from being queasy in the morning, if I eat right before bed.

Not bad, Diana...way to go! Just like you, i was going to get the food journalled but by the time I'd written a couple of posts and then started dumping I had to shut the computer off and head to bed to wait it out and then got busy and just forgot.
We had a breakfast 'thing' at work today and I was good...preplanned my food for it. Have overdone the carbs today but I'm still not feeling back on track from getting off kilter last weekend doing that bowel prep. Also up tonight was the monthly support group meeting and a mad dash after work to get a costume together. A lot of eating on the run, protein bars etc. Slowly but surely I'll get my food plan back where it needs to be. Here's pretty much what I ate but not in any particular order:
1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 recipe cottage cheese pancakes, 1/3 cup sf syrup, about 4 slices of turkey bacon....washed down (and through!) with coffee What a treat!!!
2 Cliff Kids bars, 1 GNC lite protein bar
2 lf mozz sticks, 3 pieces turkey bacon
1 pkg tofu shirataki noodles, abt. 4 oz turkey breast, 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2- 16 oz. lactaid lattes w/sf syrup
1/2 cup low sugar granola
Definitely got in my water today...always much easier at work than at home.
Wish I didn't have to get up so early for work in the a.m., I am just dying to blog about support group. I wore a costume and had SO MUCH FUN!
Anyway, have a great day tomorrow too Diana. What are you planning on doing to survive the weekend? I have to really plan SOMETHING because I have to work plus have some social committments so it will be hectic and that often equals eating too many protein bars.

If you can't keep friends it is just because you've been picking the wrong people. We LOVE you here!!! Butt kicking now and again is what we come here for and it is just as good to be on the giving end as the receiving. 
Wait a minute, that didn't come out quite right.....
Aw, you know what I mean!
Your comments came from a very good place and a wonderful heart, they weren't awful in any way and I'm certainly not mad at you either.
Hugs!
Molly

Diana... The thought of you giving up tore into me. The fear of regain tortures all of us and that is why "leaving no one behind" from goal is so important. We are part of a greater whole... we have gone the extra step to walk away from obesity and food addiction, yet it still haunts us. It took a lot for me to come back here tonight because I felt "cruel"... and embarrassed that I was harsh. Thank you for not being upset with me... It means a lot to me.

Topic: Thursday Eats
Breakfast-Weigh****cher Yogurt
Snack-I went to Sams and had a sample of chicken, beef and pancake
Lunch-grilled cheese sandwich on light wheat bread
Snack-popcorn and a fun size payday (I know)
Dinner-piece of Talipa fish
Snack-Apple and cheese and 2 pieces hard candy
I know I got my water in today so that is GOOD.
I did not use Fitday like I said I was as when I went to Sams I had no idea how to put that in so I did not.
My day could have been better BUT trust me it is much better then what it has been recently.
