LOL..Stacy..you know you are sweating your weight off with all that moving and remodeling you got going on! Good job last week!!

Steph, ~~~~~~~SIZZZZZZZZZLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~, look at your hot new pic!!! You look so wonderful and radiant! Isn't it amazing how the weight loss changes our whole persona and we glow from the inside out. You look fantastic! As far as me humpin it this week, you better believe it! If I'm not at work making remodeling money, then I'm at the house spending remodeling money and working my booty off! I keep reminding myself..."this will all be worth it in the end...this will all be worth it in the end..." one of these days I might start believing myself! Ha Ha Stacy

Good Morning Surgery Sisters! Stephanie B, wow! Good for you! Here's my stats: SW:272 LW:199 (at plateau) CW:195 So this week I lost 4lbs! and last week I was boo hooing because i didn't lose anything... Can anyone out there relate? We've got to stop being so hard on ourselves and our bodies. We are all doing a tremendous job! Have a great week everyone! Beth

Yes I can relate Beth! And you are so right...we have to stop being so hard on ourselves and our bodies! We have all come so far from where we started and the best is yet to come! Thanks for reminding us all of this. And you had an amazing week. Congrats on the 4 pound loss.

Good morning everyone! Posted a new avatar yesterday (new haircut) and also added some 6 months comparison pictures which were shrinked down pretty small by OH's system, but you can still see them somewhat. This was a good week, better than last week anyway...LOL HW 242 LW 173 CW 171 2 lb loss for last week Have an appt. to meet with my surgeon on August 21st for a check up and to further discuss my small bowel obstruction. I have finally found someone on the Texas board who has been through this, and I was basically slapped on the wrist for waiting until after vacation to go back...but it worked out that my surgeon was not available this week and I'm on vacation next week, so we'll see what happens. At least I have someone now who knows about all this to bouce thoughts and fears off of. Until next time.... Lori

Hey Lori: Keep us posted on the appointment for your small bowel. Thanks

Hi Everyone - Wow - Stephanie - that is a crazy weight loss..... way to go !!! It's been a few weeks since I posted my #'s. I have been at a 3 week stall and was getting very depressed. My #'s : Hw - 311 SW - 295 3 weeks ago - 209 Cw - 204 It seems that things are moving again. I saw my surgeon for my 7 month check up and he was very happy with my progress. He said I have about 44 pounds to go to my goal and that I have lost 2/3's of my weight already. That was great to hear. Like Stephanie I really increased my protein. I added a 42 gram bullet a day as well as my regular protein foods. I had stopped excerising and added back walking 2 miles a day. I really want to be below 200 b/4 I go away at the end of August and hopefully I will make it. Hope everyone has another great week - Marta

Hi Gang! All the exercise I have been doing is finally paying off. I had my 6 mos. checkup and the surgeon said I've done so well because of the exercise. She said that's usually the difference between those who lose steadily and those who stall. Anyway--here's my stats--amazingly in the 170s now. HW: 265 lbs. SW: 252 lbs. LW: 182 lbs. TW: 179 lbs. 3 lbs.--best week in a long time. Only 29 lbs. to goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jen...how exciting it must be to be so close to your goal!! WOWSERS!!
