It's Wacky Weigh-in Wednedsay

put me down for 2lbs this week.  I'm pretty sure it could've been more if the carb monster didn't get me.

I lost 2 lbs last week.  I did not walk as much as I should have.  Next week I have a friend who is going to start walking with me.  That makes 27 lbs in 4 weeks!

Morning Chris and Cali gang
The scales FINALLY got the right idea and moved DOWN!!  Yippeeee 1.5lbs down.  At my lowest weight so far...didn't think I would ever get off that darn 152 up/down yo-yo.

Today is a short day for me as I'm thinking of going to Lon's doctor appt with him at 2.  His labs came back great except for his diabetic number (in MHO, that is). Doc says she's 'satisfied' and '7 is acceptable because you're diabetic'...what?????  If I could get him to eat right, lose a few pounds and ride the bicycle...he might be a '6' for crying out loud!  Her attitude doesn't motivate him at all :=-(  He actually wants me to go with him...maybe I will, but either way I'm leaving work early ^_^

Chris, don't know what type of work you do (something in accounting from what Steph alluded to?) but sure hope you get a chance to catch up.  Working 2 jobs...I am impressed! 

Barb....3.5lbs!  Now, how in the heck am I suppose to catch up to you??  But I'm really happy to see your scales cooperating at last; I remember when you hit the 6mos stall...it is frustrating!

MoMo...sorry to hear you're not feeling up to par...but you deserve a rest after creating that really neat kitchen!  I love the wainscotting!

Michelle...2.3lbs!  Way to go girl!  I hear ya about nothing fits and it is almost winter.  Hit the thrift stores girl!  I found some really nice long sleeve tops and a neat sweater.  At thrift store prices, you can afford to give them back in a month or so LOL

Steph...I remember my days working for a CPA..hated Jan-April!  And 1 season I even tried working for H&R Block...my lord, that was insane!  I now do books for a private non-profit that has 4 subsideries...letting the CPA do the taxes ^_^  Sure hope you nip that cold early...no fun when you can't take off from work.

Javier..2lbs...great job!  I hear ya about those darn carbs :-(  So??? What is the RIGHT amount in a daily intake?  I haven't been able to get a straight answer from my doc, nut or support group LOL

Well, as I write this, the above are the only ones who have checked in so far this morning.  I know MsShells is mending from PS...and hearing (thank you Monica!) that she is doing well.  I know that Diane saw her doc yesterday and the hole is mending nicely, that Doug is trying to catch a cold (shame on him!) and he needs to rest (MEN!, I agree! LOL).  I know there are others who have been posting...but I just don't remember the details :-(   I am paying attention, however....and all of you are in my daily prayers, for specific things or care and love in general....You ALL are PRICELESS!
Hugs

Hi Nancy,

Every year as I approach the dreaded January 1, I say I can't do this anymore.  Well after more than 25 years at it, I think it's too late to change for me.  However, as it would appear with the economy the way it is that I will never get to retire, I think H & R Block may be an option for me when the time comes. At least that is what I am planning. Work for them during tax season and make as much as I can and then take the rest of the year off.  Yea, I'll winter in CA while I work and summer at the house on the beach in MA.  I have something to look forward to.  LOL

Steph

Wow, Nancy! What a shout out! Thank you for including me! I am definatly going to be checking out the trift store as the next So Cal Coffee isn't until halloween, I think. I will freeze by then, Lol! And I will "pay it forward" when I grow under my clothes. I hope all is well with you and Lon. I will pray for his dr appt. I am really looking forward to spring break! Have a fantastic day!
Hugs, friendship, & support,

Greetings all,

Well this is a depressing week. I finally broke that stupid plateau last week but find myself gaining 1.5 pounds this week. I hope its water retention or muscle weight since I have been hitting the workouts hard for the past couple weeks......But its still depressing LOL.

Have a great day all..........Rick

Hello Chris and Cali!! 

Well put me down for 1 pound loss yipeee

have a great day everybody

I am really late in checking in. I am weighing in at 153 lbs! I am really down now. Wooohoooo!!! As for my personal life it is in turmoil right now. I don't want to go into detail right now but keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks!

Hugs,
Dawn

Hello, well today put me down for -5.8 lbs...  omg Im getting so close I weighed in at 300.6 today.. so next week should be the under 300 week for me and I so can't wait!   As I wrote in the exercise post for the day... to think that 3 months ago.. I could barely move.. get out of bed, get dressed and walk to my car.  Today I am walking 2 to 3 miles a day easily and enjoying it.

What a difference!  Even though I have issues with eating.. Im just so grateful that Im feeling better!  My 3 month surgiversary is Oct. 16th so Im pretty happy so far, minus my depression and personal crap Im going through.   I certainly couldn't handle all this if I wasn't getting healthy :)

Hugs, have a great day!

Good Afternoon Cali -

Congrats to all of you that have reported a weight loss, that is awsome.  Today you can put me down for -1 lbs.  My scale has not moved in 2 weeks, but today I am under 250 - YESSSSSSSS  Even though the scale has not moved I know there are inches lost because clothes are slipping off and I actually put on a 1x top the other day.  OMG

I will post my 12 week pics and new inches lost tonight sometime.

I have not done much walking since Sundays 3.17 miles.  I find it hard to get away from the house, when there is so much to do and a family to cook for.  I wish my treadmill was working better.

Today I had my 12 week appt. w/Dr. Ali (I love this man) and all is okey dokey.  He said I am doing well for 12 weeks, just need to be sure to eat a little slower, and get my protein.  Honestly I have gotten lazy with tracking protein and food.  But, I feel fine.  I need to get back on track.  I need a new type of protein, where is everyone getting their Nectar protein at.  I lkie the Isopure but it drys my mouth too much.

On an embarassing note, while checking out of the Dr. office today there was a lady next to me that was also checking out and we were all excited about her before picture vs today.  I was so excited for her and then proceeded to go through what I thought was my purse on the counter looking for keys when she said to me "And you're going through my purse".  Embarassing yet funny at the same time.  I was just sooo happy and excited for this complete stranger yet a sister in WLS.

OK, back to work, everyone have a wonderful rest of the day, and be sure to root for the Dodgers tonight.  The Angels start tomorrow (THIS IS MY TEAM) and while I am at the game tomorrow I better be able to hear all of you cheering "LET'S GO ANGELS"
