You all pray for me and stand in agreement with me. Have a great week.

Good morning Marge, Begginning weight  308 Last week 192 this week 189 I will need to change my license sometime before they are due up. I just had  to have them redone  a month after surgery, so I am sure I look nothing like them. Good luck and smile big for your new pic. I am still chipping at this weight loss, slow but coming off still. My doc says that is good this late in the game.   well got to go..

Happy double whammy this week Marge.  You better change your picture girl!!  The cop won't believe it's you when he pulls you over  Good week - watched what went in my mouth.  Summer sure helps with all the fresh fruits/veggies Last week:  234.4 This week:  229.8 Loss this week:  4.6 Total Loss:    154.2 Hope everyone has a fantastic week!!!!

An early happy birthday to you Marge! Can you believe it was 18 months ago that you had surgery? I feel like those 10 months for me have flown by! I had a really good week this week - it helped that I was home the entire time - no hospital food! Dad is doing really well, he really turned the corner this week and it looks like they will be moving him into a rehab place to help with his stroke. That is a HUGE miracle since the Drs. gave him no hope of recovery. Boy, did he surprise them! So, here's my stats: Surgery's weight: 371 last week's weight: 193 this week's weight: 189! Wow, 4 pounds lost! I haven't lost that much in a week in a LONGGGG time. And only 9 pounds from goal - there will be a huge celebration when that happens!

Marge, your twin sister's birthday () is the same day as my late mother, who also had a ripsnorting sense of humor!  Happy birthday!  47 is still young -- my birthday this year is the evil 5-0. Ugh!   One good thing about moving to Colorado is that by the time I finally got my driver's license, I looked like my new self, so I'm not stuck with a fat picture for five years. As for my weigh-in this week, the reason I'm posting so late is that I had my monthly WLS support group meeting this evening.  Instead of our usual dude, we had the woman who ran the pre-surgery class.  I do not care for her teaching skills (she has none) and her group facilitation skills are nonexistent.  It was a waste of time, although I found myself volunteering to serve on a committee to plan a post-op party for all the post-ops who have been through the program.  I wonder if the Governor would let us have it at the Capitol? I was pleasantly surprised to see that my plateau shifted around noon today -- I weighed myself this morning at home and was 238.  GRR!  I weighed again around 1 PM and weighed 234.  Since my scale is about 2 lbs off, I figured I weighed 232, and I was close. Beginning weight: 530 lbs Surgery weight: 407 lbs Last week: 238 lbs This week: 231.8 lbs I upped my water intake, and am trying to watch the carbs.  Once we have finished the vat of potato salad (red bliss) from Costco, I'm not buying any more.  I'm only eating one small scoop with my serving of protein, but it's still carbs I don't need, even if it tastes delicious.

 I'm a little late with my response. I am in the midst of selling my house so hubby and I can downsize and live for US...not some mortgage bank!  Its very stressful, but I am managing to lose some weight...2 1/2 more lbs! Yippeeeee.  Tomorrow is my mandatory WLS seminar. I am attending with paperwork in hand from my primary MD...Letter of medical necessity and referral. I hope I can get the ball rolling!    Jeanine
