Topic: RE: Any of the oldies still here from a few years ago?
I saw some videos too, Neener... you do look great!!! God bless your little heart, you certainly are a brave one!!!
I'm dying to know how painful the roux en y is... that's what's making me balk. David is already talking about taking a week off of work to be home with me if I have it done - and it just sounds like such a big todo..
I NEED MY DO .. the surgeon told me I'm gaining because my body wants to go BACK to over 300 lbs...
I do not accept this... LOL

Things are going well today. I'm at about 700+ calories for the day after eating lunch. My biggest challenge today is working out. It's cold and raining today! I have some DVDs I can do, but I'm still hurting from the DVD workout I did last Tuesday! I've pulled a muscle in my chest and I can't believe how much I use chest muscles to do the normal stuff everyday!
Last Friday night we had pizza take out and I just ate like a fool. I gained 3 pounds from that one meal and it took me until TODAY to lose that weight from the one stupid meal of pizza. I'm back down to 253 today and I hope to keep dropping a little more weight before I leave on vaca next Saturday. As of today I am only 20 pounds from my all time lowest (233lbs.) two years ago. I feel happy about that. For me, it feels like a doable thing. After eating that stupid pizza meal last Friday, it's like something clicked in my head "It's not worth feeling sick and gaining weight" I'd honestly rather stick to my little meals and be more healthy and a smaller size next week, rather than eating that crap food again. I'm praying I can keep this mindset from now on.

I haven't been around either, Dee! We can change all of that though~ We all worked it out with each other, and maybe that's what's been missing for each of us~
Good to see you~!!!!!!!
God be with you!

HAHAHAH... my diet was not only UNSUPERVISED, but AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE! I stopped taking my insulin one day- and stopped eating carbs the same day.
The insurance company wants 6 consecutive months of weigh ins, etc. I can't do that with my primary since he's in Florida. I go down every 4 - 6 months, but my old bones can't handle the 10 hour ride once a month.
I'm so NOT looking forward to surgery. If I could get my butt in gear, I can get back on my do. Maybe what I was missing was the support I got from everyone here.
Remember the guy who broke it off with me because he said I was too big (at about 205).. well lol, we've been living together for the last 2.5 years and I'm back up to 240 - and he doesn't complain. I don't want to seem like I'm putting any of my complacency on HIM, but I gotta tell ya - when I was seeking someone's approval, it made me work it! He says he never knew what being happy was until me - big butt and all. Unfortunately, he keeps telling me he LIKES my big butt!!!! He did a complete about face, which made me not care as much about taking care of myself. I go on a diet spurt - and he says "don't lose too much weight, I don't want you skinny",.. arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh but *I* want to be SKINNY~~~~!!!!
He keeps saying I've gained weight because I'm happy - then pats himself on the back for making me happy! LOLOLOL Frankly, I think I've gained weight because I EAT! I baked and ate my weight in cookies from November to January.. now I'm paying for it~
ah well... let's see what today will bring~
God bless all of you~~

Beeeeeeeeeeeeethy!
Ok.. I gotta get on it too... get back to getting here and being HERE~
I just started my required 6 month medically supervised diet. By the grace of God, I'll lose weight and not qualify for the surgery. I'm just under the qualifying BMI, but the diabetes brings me in (but I'm not thrilled about recovering from a surgery).. lol <-- chiiiiiiiiiicken
WE ALL found a lot of support here back then... and the accountability helped keep us all on our do. When David came into my life full time, I found it very difficult to spend time here~~ it was alllllllllll David~ up at 4:00am to make his breakfast, pack his lunch, clean the house, do the laundry. Eventually I gave up on the gym, tanning, LIVING~
I miss everyone here~

Not sure if you are familiar on facebook or not, but I wanted so badly to find the "like" button to your post!
Tonight was a little tougher. Have the munchies pretty bad. Actually, it started with all those darn commercials on tv! They all look so good!lol But I made it, I won another small little victory so I'm happy. :)
Thanks for the compliment! You know, I keep telling myself it IS all or never. Just made me realize it with not only my trip, but I am in my early forties. The years just keep going by so quickly, if I don't start now there will be NO tomorrow!
Vacations though are definitely good boosts.hehe
