Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Roxanne- You are doing fabulous!!! A 4 pound loss- that's HUGE!!! Congrats- Holly

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend. Did pretty good this week, down 5 pounds but I continue to have issues with eating, but it is coming off so I'm happy. Highest Weight 360 Day of Surgery 342 Last Week 258 This Week 253 Everyone keep up the good work

I am down in the dumps this morning. I weighed 176.8 yesterday, so I was thinking I had a 1lb loss for the week. This morning, I weighed and I was back up to 177.8. I did Yoga on Monday, Swimming on Tuesday, Cardio on Wednesday, Swimming on Saturday and Sunday, plus running around shopping, etc. I am hoping that I am just building muscle and still loosing inches. My mother in law said she thinks my stomach has really pulled in over the last week. So....I am praying that she is right and that it's not just the way the clothes are laying on me. Highest Weight 232 lbs Day of Surgery 228 lbs Last Week 179.6 This week 177.8 Well, I am not going to meet my Belize goal. I am also desperately/frantically worried I am not going to get my passport back before Friday. I have called the Passport agency daily to no avail, no new news on the internet or phone and to think I paid for expedited service. Today is 4 weeks from the time I applied. Pretty sad that our government can't hire enough workers to plan for changes in laws. People are missing trips because they can't do what the internet says they will do. Expedited service is suppose to take 2 weeks. Now they want me to try to drive to Houston, that is 4-5 hours away. I can't take off work when I am about to be off for 7 business days for vacation/holiday. It's just really aggravating. I have a friend who got hers back in a week. Well, I am just venting. I could use a lot of prayers to go out to the Passport agency to speed up my processing. Anyone who knows someone over there or if you know of any tips to me out, I sure would appreciate it. I am just getting desperate. If I don't get it by Thursday, I will loose my airline tickets and 1/2 deposit on the hotel . All I can say is it's not a good Monday for me. I have to get back to my critical work that is due this morning as well. Thanks any passport prayers. Lindy

Hey Lindy, I will be in prayer with you that your passport comes ASAP! That is terrible that it is taking this long to process and get it mailed to you.

Thanks, I truly need the prayers. I called today and their systems were down. There is nothing they can do. I talked to this one agency that does rush passports. She said people who sent in expedited passports in February are still waiting for their passports. I just wish the website would be honest and not put that it is only taking two weeks if applied after March 23rd. It's been 4 weeks now and I expedited, so I am nervouse. Oh well...I guess that is what I get for not making sure I have my passport before making plans. You can't trust the passport agency these days. Thanks for letting me rant and ramble. Lindy

No problem!! This situation just stinks! And makes absolutely no sense! They should take responsibilty for the incorrect information they give out and honor what they say. You can rant anytime!! We all need to do it at one time or another.

Happy Monday everyone! High weight 242 Last week 196 This week 195 And for those who are asking, I looked it up in my notes and according to my surgeon, the average weight loss for this far out is 6-8 lbs per month so those of us who are complaining about our 1-2 lbs per week, it's right on target. I personally felt so defeated last week that I charted my weight loss on a table (on my profile) and it actually tunred out to be a huge encouragement for me. I am losing well beyond what I thought I was in a month's time. And I needed to see those numbers all together..

Hey Lori: Thanks for that information about the average weight loss this far out! And yes, charting your weight loss will give you a new picture of how things are progressing!

I did not lose a single pound this week ... but I did not gain so I will not complain! Highest Weight 264 lbs. Day of Surgery 263 lbs Last Week 197 lbs. This week 192 lbs I hope some of you had a better week then I did! XOXOXO Lea

Good morning everyone. I don't get weighed every week because I don't want to become a scale watcher. I did get weighed today for the first time in three weeks. So here goes. Highest weight: 528 Weight day of surgery: 491 Weight today: 387 As long as I keep losing that is all that matters. Have a great day. Rich
