Its Whacky Weigh In Wednesday

Holding steady at 129. whatever I'm doing seems to be working for me.

Have a great day all! Just a couple more days till the big OH event!!!

I will play today.  I have been gaining and losing the same ten pounds for a month or more.  I finally stuck to my program and and down to 165.  I am wearing size 10's very comfortable but I want to get back down to a 6 or 8 and figure that will be 15 - 20 pounds more. 

If I don't ever get there, life will go on.  I had the problem of loosing way too much in the beginning.  When I was weighing in at 118 at 5'7", I was looking pretty much like a crack-hoe and it was not healthy for me at all.  Then I swung way back on the pendulum and gained too much weight back for my liking.  It is funny how your mindset changes.  When I gained the weight back from being too skinny, I thought of myself as a fat hog and I was wearing a size 12 or 14.  Five years ago, before WLS, I would have given my front teeth to be a size 16, let alone smaller than that.  Hmmmm.......  makes me wonder.

For those of youo who know my guyfriend Bobby, he had a heart attack last weekend.  He is undergoing a triple bypass right now as we speak in Portland, Oregon.  Please give him a good thought or prayer or boil a chicken for him if you will.  He is only 43 years old.  This is what happens when you abuse your body like he has.

Thanks so much.  I wish everyone a great day and week!

BTW, those handsome men with me  in the picture are my wonderful sons.

Good morning Neen and Cali crew!!!!  2 more days till LA ~woo hoo!!! Boy will I be ready to Partay after 7 days straight of working. Today I have to go in for a meeting at 1 which means I will be working 1-midnight  ugh!!!!, but overtime   yaaayyyy!!!!!

So I am holding steady this week!  My eating habits are better with work because I am forced to eat there whereas at home I would just not necessarily. Does that make sense? lol Anyway, there are lots of great protein choices to keep me on track, so that is good. It's the yummy ORings that I have to stay away from! lol   I only do one at a time though as a treat, but still!!!!

Gotta get ready to go, but everyone have a GREAT day and I will see alot of you this weekend!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Good Morning Janine and Cali,

I am down 3 lbs.  I am seven weeks out and have lost a total of 55 lbs, 11 before surgery and I am still tired all the time.  I am leaving any where from 1 to 2 hours early from work every day and go home to take a nap.  On the 4 days a week that I water aerobics, I get up do the class then come back home and go to sleep for the night.  The weekends I lay around and watch TV.  All blood test are coming back normal.  I hope more energy comes my way soon.

Gina

WOW!!! Gina you are doing great!!! Your energy will return I still have those "please just let me sleep days" alot ! But I have found the more I make myself do the better I feel. Check your protein and carbs too. Do you use www.fitday.com? It is a great tool for keeping track of everything.

HUGS

As of today I am 1 lb down from last week.  I had to go back and check as I have gone up and down daily for 2 weeks and I think I need to stop weighing daily!  It is hard not to.  Some days I just let the scale control my mood and that is not right.  I have been walking and hiking tons and tons one would think I would drop a ton but it is just not happening it is slowing down a bit.  But I am going to continue to stay focused.  Thanks all and congrats on all the good weight loss this week.

We have a scale that flucuates wildly - sometimes as much as 2 pounds, depending on where you put it on the linoleum.  So my DH said the heck with that and got yet another new scale, that doesn't flucuate.  It does, however, read almost two pounds higher than the old one.  I'm sticking with the old one, thank you very much.  Anyway, I was really bad at the Mexican restaurant and had several chips, and went up a little during the week.  I'm now officially up only .2 lbs from last WWW, so it's coming off. -- Carol

Hi Everyone! 

I'm down 5 pounds this week and finally hit an "Overweight" BMI - I am officially no longer obese!!!  This makes a toal loss of 32 lbs since surgery 8 weeks ago!
 
Have a great day all!
