IT's Whacky Weigh In Wednesday

Well it is that time of the week gang....Its Whacky Weigh In Wednesday and oh yeah humpday!!!!

You all know the rules....post those numbers....and that means losses or gains and everything inbetween. How are you feeling about yourself...it is all good...how do the clothes work for you.

I have not been able to get the scale to budge it is stuck I think...I am not gaining nor am I losing. The doc said that it is okay for right now because I am still swelling if you can believe it after 6 weeks from surgery and I know that my body is what it is and it will be probably upwards of 6 months before I get to my true size. So I know I have to diligent with my food which is not always so easy for me when I get blows like I did yesterday (Rhonda you know!).

Have a great day all....I know I have been a bit MIA....don't know what gets into me sometimes, but know you are cared for!

PEACE OUT!!!  

Hello Janine and Cali,

I have officially broke the plateau I have been on for a while now.   I dropped 5 lbs this week.  I am only 12 lbs away from goal.  I am still having food issues, but hopefully on my way to getting better.
It's been a long roller coaster ride....and at many times not a fun ride.....but I am still trying to remain optimistic that things will improve.  My Dr's have said there is nothing else they can do .......so I at this point... I can either accept the fact that #1: I will never  be able to eat "normally" and move on....or #2: think that I made the biggest mistake of my life!!!!  I choose to accept the #1.That I made the choice to alter the body that the Lord gave me and now I will just continue to eat mostly soft foods the rest of my life.   Don't want to sound like a downer......It has just been a little rough.

I just wanted to remind everyone out there considering the surgery to also consider all of the risks.  I would probably still do it again...but I wish my surgeons would have discussed complication a little bit more in detail... 

I hope to make it out for the LB Coffee on Saturday... I do miss everyone.

Linda
 

Good morning Janine and crew....this morning I am the same....I just keep in the same 3 lb range...but thats ok as long as I maintain right here I am happy.....clothes fit and shopping is just way to much fun....

Hugs to all

Morning Janine and Cali . . . it's good to see you Janine . . .and hope everything is OK . . .

Weight loss . . . ummm . . .no . . .BUT no gain this week either (finally) . . . Even after all the salty snacks and such yesterday being outside the entire day . . . it felt good and the sun finally came out about noon . . . I can now put on my resume that I officially worked the street corner at 15th & Imperial - with balloons yesterday . . . I had to direct people where to go in the morning . . . and oh my did I get the comments and questions - just because I was an odd-i-tie standing there.  The fence one of our crews had to tear down was under lots of brush . . . and turned out to be a fence, then a chain link fence, and then razor barbbed wire on top of that . . . they had to use a fork lift to get that loaded onto the truck.   What was great was that the seminars and round table discussions were very well received by the residents .  . and the thank yous were very profuse . . . a great day for one and all.

Tonight I go to a pot luck with the Costco girls . . . one of the ladies (in her 80s) has a surprise birthday party as part of it . . . and they got her a stripper to boot . . . ughhh . . . but I'm going lol

Nothing else new here . . . have a good one everybody.

Chris

Good morning Janine and Cali,

For WWW, I am down 1 pound. This puts me back into my regular range where I fluxuate a few pounds. So happy to be back where I belong.

Submitting a counter offer on a house today. Keep your fingers crossed. If it's the right one for us, it'll happen. If not, we'll keep looking.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Morning Janine and Cali Friends,

Home sweet home!  It's always so much fun to go on vacation, but there's nothing like being home and sleeping in your own bed too.  We had so much fun in Hawaii, and I did post another pic of Ron and I at the vow renewal ceremony on my photo page.  I will try to get some other neat pics too.  I was able to post in Oahu but not in Maui, so we played tourist there too.  We drove up to Haleakala, the crater on the island and boy was it windy and about 50 degrees.  Then we drove the road to Hana and beyond to the 7 pools.  Again windy but the scenery was fantastic.  Our last full day there we did the submarine ride on the Atlantis.  Saw lots of fish and went down 130 ft!  We did have a little excitement on our last night because they closed the highway due to a fire and we weren't sure we were going to be able to leave the next morning, but we did and all was fine.  As previously reported, we did see Nancy aka Sunray and her husband Lon for dinner and that was so much fun.  Pics of that to come too.

So while I didn't lose a lot, I am down 3 lbs since I reported last.  Whoo hoo.  It was a challenge to eat, but I stuck to no sweets other than fruit and did eat a lot of that.  The toughest part was getting in protein but I did bring my protein powder and managed to make my shakes which at least helped to boost the protein.

Good to see everyone again and happy to be home.  Now time to get ready for work.

Hugs,
Barb

Happy Hump day Janine and the Cali Crew!!

this is the second time I have had to post this...I hit post and my post disappered.  Oh well.  No stats to post today.  I will one day when I get a stupid scale.  I am hoping I have lost something because I have been doing 2 shakes a day and trying to do protein first.  It doesn't always work but I am trying.  I am going to run out of powder though and I can't afford to get anymore until next month.  At least now I know how much I need.  Next time, I will get a 5 lb container and that should last all month.

No plans for today except work and church.  My daughter is graduating from her leadership class at church tonight with her youth group.  she is so excited and I am so proud of her.  She has worked really hard at this.

Have a great day everyone.

Good Morning Janine and Cali Crew,

Janine so glad to see you posting. I sure do miss it when you don't  post daily, but hey, it's okay, cause we love you. Hope you are feeling better and boy do I hate the swelling thingy after surgery.

For WWW, put me down for 3 pound loss.

Hope everyone has a great day and you are all feeling good about yourselves. That is so important. Keep a smile on your face, it cost nothing.

Hugs & Love,

Karen
