Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Hey Tara: You are having great results! Keep up the good work.

Thanks. Congratulations on hitting onederland. I can't wait.

Thanks!! We will be celebrating with you when you get there!

Hi everyone! I am back. I have been super busy with work/home life that I haven't had a chance to even blink at the computer when I am not at work. My Shjogren's syndrome and my allergies have also had me completely drained and under the weather. The Ragweed needs to be blown right out of Texas. So we need some cold weather...PLEASE!! Here are my stats: HW: 232 SW: 228 LW: 142.8 (last weigh in) CW: 137.8 I am officially in the NORMAL BMI range now and no longer considered overweight. I had my 8 month check up with my dr 2 weeks ago. He has approved me to start trying to get pregnant in late December/January, since I am at normal. However, ideally he stated that I should try to get to 120 before I get pregnant, because I would have a better chance of getting back to 140, whichi s normal. Since everyone puts back on 10-15% after they get to their lowest weight. He said if I got PG in December, I would be giving up about 6 months of potential weight loss months, so it would be best for me to be at 120, etc. Now, he did state that if I still had over 100 lbs to loose, etc, he would not recommend it. I think of course, each person is different. So who knows. Today I go for my pre-op for my upcoming surgery next Tuesday. I am wandering how big the fibroid tumor is and if that will drop any lbs for me. I know I will be swollen some after surgery, because of the CO2 they will be using to blow me up, but I sure hope that I stay in the normal range. I would love to hit my original goal of 132 close after surgery. Happy Birthday Kerry!!!! Janie - Thanks for checking in on me....It's very thoughtful of you to be concerned about me. Stephanie - Prayers are coming your way that you get re-focused on your goals and continue to do so well. You are our motivator and inspiration...I think we all have some times that we are week on food choices, don't beat yourself up so much. Just get back in gear with your post surgery rules. Congratulations on making it to Onederland! I hope everyone has a great week! Hugs, Lindy

Glad to hear from you again Lindy. Just last night I was thinking of putting out an APB for you Sending prayers up for a speedy recovery from the surgery next week. And it sounds like you are just trucking along with the weight loss. Congratulations, and we hope to hear that a little Lindy is on the way in 08. Lori

Thanks Lindy!! It is so good to see you and congrats on your normal bmi! Keep us posted on your surgery results.

Good to see you back, Lindy...we miss all the regulars when they are MIA. And, congrats on being "normal"...I think that would sound a little strange if I were to say it to anyone else !
