Hey marge, I'm certainly no stranger to home improvement, This year we remodeled our entire kitchen! I mean we took down all the old lath and plaster walls and cut out the floor and ceiling and started fresh. DH and I did 99 % of it alone and it took us all summer and all fall we still don't have a counter top! well we don't have a real one right now its plywood and plastic table cloths lol   Anyway I broke down and got that new digital scale I been talking about and just as I suspected it weighs me in more......... I got it last Monday after weigh in then I weighed myself on it and I was up 4 lbs from one scale to the other. So I worked like a maniac to make it say atleast the same as the other one did by this week ....lol  I almost made it..lol   I am going to weigh  in with this scale from now on so my new official weight is 263.  my old scale says 259 lol which it sooooooooooooooo much better because its in the 250's lol   Dumb hhuh?  I hope your blisters get better and its not to painfull :(  Estelle  BEGINNING WEIGHT-392 SURGERY WEIGHT-344 THIS WEEK-263

After reading that, I'm kind of glad I'm in an apartment! I would go batty trying to get all that done. Kuddos to you hon, big time kuddos! I had a great weekend - spent lots of time outside and kept pretty busy just playing. Although I was disappointed to try on my skinny jeans and find them a little tight - ugh. In the midst of trying to lose for camp this week, I went out of control and I gained 5 pounds. I can feel it too. I did figure out what was triggering my eating binge - the camp itself! Isn't that just too funny, the thing I am so excited for is the one thing that has me delving into the food like a crazy woman. I admit it, I am scared to death about this camp. I'm also extremely excited but it is bringing up a lot of old feelings from my fat days. You know the ones, always being the fat one who couldn't keep up and was made fun of, thus never wanting to exercise again? Yup, that was me, despite wanting to be active I hated being made fun of and I have the fear that it will happen again at the camp. Irrational I know, but it is hard to convince my brain of that.

 However, since I figured it out my cravings have subsided and I have been completely at peace with the world.    For the next few days I’m going a bit hard core to try and lose at least the 5 pounds I gained – I just don’t feel good with these extra few pounds and I want to feel good at camp!

Hey Marge, I had a good weekend.  It was my second anniversary, we ate too much (lunch on Sat and dinner on Sun were both at steakhouses).  I did ok at the restaurants, but I was quite snacky at home and snacky all last week - of course I started my period today.  Hormones are ridiculous! I also took a bunch of pictures of my friends' little girls - some of them came out great, and I LOVE playing photographer! Here's the damage Starting weight - 440 Surgery weight - 405 Last week - 306.2 This week - 304.8 (-1.4lbs)

Loved part of the weekend...Sat was so miserable it just poured & poured all day & evening!!  Got my butt wet more than once going in & out of the car running errands.  Sunday was nicer.  I do silk flower weddings and  a close friend is getting married next month so I've been working on her flowers...kept my hands busy so no snacking.  Finally being in ONEderland has me grinning from eat to ear.  I saw a guy whom I haven't seen in awhile and he said "Whooaaaa you've lost weight haven't you?"  I said , "yeah  a few."  He said..Ummm I think its more than just a few!  So when I told him 85...he about fell over. I guess maybe its becoming more noticeable now.  I haven't seen my parents since Christmas...they might be a little shocked. LOL  Anyway..I didn't lose a whole lot this week but it was enough to make me realize a very important goal, so I'm thrilled.

We're actually hoping on being able to do more home improvements as we lose the weight and are able to move better (my hubby & I both had the surgery). Did a lot of running around this weekend - something I would've hated before, but I actually enjoyed getting out of the house and moving. I got a few new (smaller) shirts for work, some cookbooks that I'm hoping will help with appropriate meal ideas that aren't too hard, and a new microwave (ours died).  On with the numbers...

Hey, everyone! I had fun this weekend.  The weather was glorious on Saturday and my sister had an appointment with her financial planner on the other side of town.  I went with her, and when she was finished, we took a lovely drive down Hwy 86 through Kiowa, where we had a yummy lunch, and then up through Limon, returning home on I70.  It was quite relaxing.   Sunday, I ran errands and took both cars to the car wash (not at the same time, I'm not that skilled!  ).  I felt like being very, very active and when I checked my pedometer at the end of the day, realized I'd hit a personal best with 11,024 steps walked! Last night, we had leftover spaghetti from Buca de Beppo and guess what?  I learned that Pouchy, cousin of Thundercles, does not much care for reheated spaghetti.  It tasted great, but it did not digest at all.  It sat in my pouch for a half-hour and refused to shift, then it decided to reintroduce itself.  I have never before horked up spaghetti that looked just like it did when I ate it!  I'm pulling together a job application that is due tomorrow.  The weather is supposed to be good again, so I'll hand carry it downtown and spend some time walking up and down the mall.  I hope I don't get pinched for soliciting.  No change in my weight this week, but I think I have lost an inch in my waist.  It just looks smaller.

Marge I LOVE home improvement stuff. I think I was a carpenter in another life. Since moving in with my sister, I have painted 3 rooms, pulled up carpet, and did a great faux brick on her garage floor(it looks great) I have missed 2 weeks. I am so busy now since I started working. I am very happy to report that I am 19 lbs from my surgeons goal. During pre-op I thought he was crazy to think 169 lbs was attainable for me. It is still so very amazing to me....everyday BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07 Pre-op consult)
