Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Marilyn- I have been dying for a cigarrette and I was only a bar smoker before being married. For me- I just must have some serious oral issues!!! Good for you for quitting!!! Holly

It is so funny that you said you have oral issues!! LOL my surgeron told me about one of his other patients that said the same thing because that is what I was describing to him with my need to chew gum all the time. lol I guess I have those issues too

Ditto...and that's all I am going to say.

hmmmmm ;)

Hi Everyone - Not much to report here..... still hanging tough at 164. At this rate not sure the scale will ever move again. I had my 13 month check up ( missed 12month due to knee surgery). Dr. was so happy at my progress. I've lost total 146 pounds w/ 5 more to my goal. He said that if I were to lose more it should be about 15 to 20 and give myself to the end of the year.... but that was if I wanted to. He is happy with where I'm at now. I also had to go for new jeans again..... I was a 12 and went into an 8 !!!!!!. I don't think that I've ever been a size 8 - maybe back in 4th grade??? I'm now that same size as my daughter and she's freaking out. Steph - great loss from last week - how do you do such big losses this far out? I swear my scale has not moved in a month. hope everyone has another great week - Marta

Hey Martha: The loss this week was a surprise to me..I think it was a combo of the gain I had on the cruise and getting back to eating better when I came home and getting back into my work out routine from my vacation. I usually only lose about a half a pound a week right now. Congrats on those size 8 jeans!

GOAL!!!!! 145lbs today!! WITHOUT being sick!!! YAHOO!!! I actually have bounced from 146-150... Today 145lbs! HW- 292 SW 282 LW- ummm.. I think 150? TW 145lbs I am so self-conscious about trying on summer stuff... Anyone else? My arms...especially. Glad to see everyone doing so well!!! Steph... Your still rocking!!! Plus in your Cruise pictures.. Your arms look GREAT!!! Stacey

My upper thighs just absolutely disgust me! They look nothing without clothes like you would think they would when I have clothes on (did that make sense?). They are...ucky! Thin and relatively toned...under the saggy, wrinkly inner thigh skin. *shivers* blech!! Medial thigh lift, please? My arms are nothing great...I do have some stretch marks underneath near my armpit, but nothing fatal. I even still have muscle tone...it would look great if I would do more than 20 push-ups a day....I am clearly lazy. Congrats on those last 5 pounds!! Yay for goal weight!!!

You are so NOT "clearly lazy"! A mom and you go to school??? My hat is off to you my friend!!! My stomach sounds like your thighs ****although I'm sure they aren't as bad as you think they are!***

Oh, believe me...my thighs are as bad as I think they are...but my tummy is definitely worse!! I literally grossed my husband out just last night. I pinched and pulled out all of the extra skin and stretch marks for him to see why I needed to have a tummy tuck (not that he didn't already agree). He cringed and shuttered and asked me to "please put that away!" If it wasn't so funny I would have been really hurt...I know how gross it is to me, so him being put off wasn't a surprise. Doesn't ever seem to stop him though, if you know what I mean? And you know, the "girls" aren't faring any better! As much as I hate to say it...implants may be in order. I have nothing left to fill my D sized bra with except extra skin. I was hoping for a lift only...but I think that ship has left the dock. .
