It's Wacky Weigh-in Wednesday

Ok GF...here I am..and remember!  I will see you in only 10 days!  You can not go visit a bunch of people (as fantastic as they all are!) and not journal!    Its the same thing as burying your head in the sand!  BUT!  You did  GOOD!  I'm proud of you!!!!

Today I can thankfully say I'm down 2.1 lbs..but ya gotta spread that over 2 weeks as I forgot to chime in last WWW.  I kicked myself in the butt and got back to journaling everything I put in my mouth over the last 2 weeks...it just about killed me to see the scale make an upward motion

Yesterday I had my 6mos group class at Kaiser...my case worker actually brought me to tears...GOOD TEARS! She said I needed to claim the credit for the work I have done...that the surgery was just a tool...and the tool can only be as good as the USER makes it!  What a concept!  Made me stop and think....I did this! The surgery gave me a means...but the outcome has been MY dedication and committment!  Talk about seeing this journey in a whole different light...I can honestly, with humility!, say I DID THIS! And I'm down right PROUD of myself!!  And I say to everyone else here...YOU SHOULD BE PROUD TOO!!

Nancy,
I for one, among many, am very proud of you. You have just done an awsome job. It wasn't always easy, but you did it and you hung in there, my friend. You are always inspiring to me and others. So glad to hear that you are taking the credit for everything that you have done. You are such a special person. I am so looking forward to meeting you in person, hopefully in spring break. Huge hugs for you my friend!

Hugs, love, & friendship always!

Awww Michelle...you are going to make me cry again LOL  Thank you soooo much for your kind and encouraging words. Your positive attitude is always uplifting to me.  I can't wait until Spring...meeting new friends in person...that is going to be so fantastic and FUN!  You best be there!!

Good Morning All,

I did not weigh myself today, but I am up to 207.5 lbs (according to the Pacific Bariatric's scale).  Not good.  I got a call from Rob Peterson at Kaiser saying that my levels of  B-1 and beta carotene were low.  So starting tomorrow, I have to start a ****tail of these two vitamins in order to get my levels back up were they should be.

I am still looking for a car.  Last weekend, I went to Puente Hills Toyota and the manager there treated me so rudely.  He asked me how did I acquire the money to buy a car and said that it was right to know.  I could have gotten the money from the bank, under a mattress or out of my a$$; it does not matter.   I complained to the lady that called to follow up and an e-mail.  What that fool doesn't realize is that any sale is better than no sale.  He let cash money walk off the lot.  Then , the same idiot, chased me down to the edge of the lot, held up the keys to the car and asked if I wanted to test drive the car to see how it felt.  I told him that it did not matter how it felt; if I could not get what I wanted for the price that I wanted, then I was not interested.

That is enough about my life.
More peace and blessings,

Kim

I'm down .4 lbs this week. My body is trying to hang on to everything this week. The good thing is that my waist is getting smaller. The bad thing is that I am 6 lbs from onederland and I don't want to be hitting a stall. I keep telling myself that I am not, now I need someone to tell my body.

Sounds like everyone is doing great!!! I hope everyone has a good rest of the week.

Way to go Sara!! Whoo-hoo! That is so fantastic! I bet you are so proud as you have every reason to be! You are going to do a great job with the tool that you were given, but remember ultimately it is you that is doing the wor****ep up with your water and stay with your doctor's protocol.
Hugs, love, & friendship,

See ya on the 26th ^_^

Hi Barb and Cali,

Well I found and Internet cafe at the mall and thought I would check in on the boards.  I have not had a Chance to weigh myself this week.  Have been doing walking and watching my food intake.  This is very hard while at a conference.

There have been several people come u p to me and say "oh my god you have lost so much weight you look great!".  It is nice I really do not see the difference any more but some of these folks have not seen me since June and  other not since lat year.  So I feel great in knowing I made the right decision to get surgery.

Barb . . .you rock!  thank you so much!  Actually . . . there was no sleeping today . . . I'm at work and up to my a$$ in alligators!  We aren't going to talk about my weight . . . I've been eating carbs and drinking gatorade for 4 days . . . lol . . . however . . . I am down 6 lbs since I got home Monday night . . . I won't say what I was UP though from when I left!  (ten is such an UGLY number) . . . but I'm back on track . . . so I don't want my numbers counted this week please!

So many new posters for WWW . . . yea!  and anniversaries!  yea again . . . and this is the only post I've even scanned today . . . so I'm still not caught up . . .will try tonight!

Have a great evening everyone!
