Hi Marge! I haven't been around much (between vacation and my last week of work, it's been a little overwhelming) and haven't posted my weight for 2 weeks, so I guess I need to get caught up! Beginning/surgery weight: 371 April 2 weight: 235 April 9 weight: 235 Today's weight: 229 I broke my short plateau, although I think part of that was being on vacation. I actually did pretty well during that week, although when I started to input my eating I noticed my fat grams were WAYYY high. That could explain it! Well, I am officially out of work and I intend on taking advantage of this time to work my butt off, literally, when it comes to my workouts. I need something to help with the stress of being unemployed!

Marge I am drinking coffee this morning as well. Decaf. I normally don't drink coffee but today I am feeling sluggish and I don't want any crystal light right now.  Anyway, I was suppose to have my 3-month follow up but my surgeons office is under staff and called and rescheduled. That stinks! I took the afternoon off. I'm still going to be off for the afternoon:-)I am down 73 lbs in 3 months and I feel great. So much about me has changed. I have ankles just to name one I lost 6 lbs this week. I want to be down to 280 by my birthday on May 4th. 9 lbs in 18 days. It's possible. I can't believe that I am 27 lbs from 100 lbs loss. Unbelievable!!! Everybody have a great week BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07) SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital) LAST WEEK-295 THIS WEEK-289

Good Monday, everyone: Hard to believe it is already mid-April.  Where does the time go? We are supposed to have a bunch of rain today here in Colorado, but it's hard to believe that when I look outside -- the sky is a bright blue.   I'm hoping this week is uneventful.  Last week was full of exciting tasks, including getting my CO driver's license.  Now I need to be brave and tackle re-learning how to drive a car with manual transmission.  Maybe I'll try today if I get bored. Whatever decided to poison me last Friday is still affecting me, but I'm starting to feel a bit better.  Even so, I don't want to wander too far from the bathroom.  Beginning weight: 530 lbs Surgery weight: 407 lbs Last week: 281 This week: 278 Kix

Rough week - emergency surgery on Wed. to repair an internal hernia. Dr gave us the OK to go to Europe, so we packed this weekend. I get staples out today and we fly off to Ireland on Wed. I'm just so darn tired, to be expected of course. I'm also working tryint to get billings done before I leave ... ugh, bad time to have surgery! Here are my numbers - Beginning weight-374 Surgery weight-359 Last week- 223 This week-220 Total weight loss - 154lb gone forever!  I'll talk to you guys in a couple weeks!

Hang in there I know you feel a little weak right now but things will get better.  Enjoy your vacation. Lorraine.

Jan, Sorry to hear about your needing surgery!  I'm guessing that part of your bowel was strangulating in the hernia?  I'm glad that you are OK and still able to make your trip.   Take it easy, if possible, while getting ready to leave!

Good morning Marge Well last week I was to ashame to post my weight loss because there wasn't one, I had gained 2 pounds. That same day I talked to my mother about it because it was like over night the scale just went up to 311 i was so upset. She kept telling me it was water but i didn't want to beleive her. well I guess she was right because the next day I droped 3 pounds and then everyday after that i saw a weight loss. Then I yesterday I tried on a size 24 levi jeans and guess what??? they fit  I'm not a big fan of Levi's becasue they make your butt look square I justa wanted to get in them. Listed to me worried about my butt looking square. Boy the way we change. Well I am happy to report this week and again sorry about last week I was just heart broken. Start 455 last week 311 This week 304 total loss 151 Only 4 more pounds to go to get under 300 pounds.  Lorraine

Lorraine I knew that scale would start moving in the right direction. When it is moving in the wrong direction,  It can put you in such a funk. You start questioning everything you ate and done. 7-lbs in 7 days. That great! Keep up the good work. This is me dancing when you make and pass the 300 pound mark.
