Hi everyone -
Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi!  I am having a VSG with Ikramuddin at the U next Wednesday. 

Anyone else use him or would like to share their experience with me?

Topic: RE: May Flowers Monday weigh-in--how you doin'?
Hello!

I was down .4 this week.  I'll take it!  :)  Even though my loss has slowed I am still getting smaller- it's been crazy shopping this week buying size 12 and LARGE with NO X.  I'm still in disbelief!!!  I think I need to take some pix of myself because I just don't see myself that size...

I'm still inspired by your running even on your "off" weeks!  :)

Soon- I need to get on my bike. 

Have a great week, everyone!!  :)

Good morning everyone!  As usual, after a rainy, gloomy weekend, I am back at work with the sun shining!  Bleh.

Still trying to get my run mojo back after the half-marathon.  I ran so few miles last week, Paul you are in for a break!!  Only 11.3 miles last week.  It showed on the scale, too, because it is quite hard to scale back the eating when you are scaling back the running.  I think sometimes I eat more when I am not running, maybe because I have more time on my hands, or maybe because the running itself suppresses appetite.  Not sure, maybe both. 

I'm planning to make this week better, although I didn't start well--only ran 2.88 miles yesterday, when it should have been a long run day.  My legs felt like lead.  I did take my B12 shot last night, and woke up with more energy this morning.  I really think it helps me--anybody else feel that way?

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week: 140.7
This week: 141.9
Gain of 1.2 lbs this week

Anyway, somebody help me kick my mojo in the butt and get it back where it belongs!!

Topic: RE: 4yr. surgiversary and NEED HELP!
My situation is similar, but I don't drink alcohol...I eat chocolate.  I know it doesn't sound the same and I know it sounds stupid. But I get crabby and irriitable if I don't eat it and I think about it all the time. I have been known to go for "walk" (so my BF doesn't know what I'm going to do) and I'll walk to the gas station and buy 2 or 3 candy bars and have at least gone by time I get home and hide the others to eat while I sit and do homework or am on the computer.  I feel so out of control and unable to stop. So while I may not be drinking, I understand addiciton...

I made my goal this week to no longer be obese- yay!!!!!!!  I was so close last week.  This week I was down 2 more pounds and so have made the goal and surpassed it a bit which feels good.  Next goal is 175, about 8 more pounds.  I don't really have an end goal in mind, so at this point, we'll just see how things go I guess...
