Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Thanks! I feel old now when I think about her being 17! lol And Trust your ENT...the gain is temporary and you be back to normal when you are done with the steroids. Just keep on making good choices and working out and don't be discouraged.

Steph - Great new pic. Glad you enjoyed your cruise, you definitely deserved it. Great job on the weight loss, you never seem to amaze us. I didn't post last week, I was weighing in about the same. I had my 1 year dr visit and they wanted me to do their commercial and they also gave me a little black t-shirt that says Barker's Babes (that is my dr) to promote or I guess help others in my group want to make it to goal so they could get one and I guess advertise. My husband doesn't want me to do the commercial. He is to private and also doesn't see any use, since he says there is nothing in it for me. I told him it would be my testimony to help others see there is hope. I would also get professional photographs and a copy of the video, etc. For now I am okay with waiting a little longer to decide. This week I am actually thinner than where the doctor wants me to be. For now my doctors just says be careful what you wish away. He said he is not concerned at all about me loosing some more weight. He assures me that it will taper off and I will have regain. I am not too concerned, but if I get below 110, I will definitely be asking the doctor to tell me what to do. Unfortunately I do have the snack demon, my snack of choice these days is Goldfish. I can eat and eat and it feels like it's a bottomless pit. I have taken the wheels off and have even eaten pasta, which I don't ever eat, just to try to get some weight regained. I have a lady in my support group 2 years out who weighs less than 98 lbs and she is starting to see an internal medicine doctor to determine how she can maintain a higher weight. She wears clothes in the children's section and she is really struggling with being too thin. I really never thought I would ever have the issues of loosing too much. I have been so swamed with the interviewing and getting ready to quit and start my new job that I haven't had time to think about proper meal planning. I hope by March 1st, I can get back to the gym and have a healthy meal plan laid out, that is part of my 2008 goal plans. So here are my stats this week: HW: 232 SW: 228 Two weeks ago: 117.8 CW: 116.2 A loss of 1.6 lbs in the last two weeks. I wish everone else success this week. Hugs, Lindy

Lindy - congrats on the new job! Have you told Verizon yet? What will you do if they want to match your new offer? Good luck! Wow girl, you are really down there in the weight category. So, you're eating or not that much? I bet you feel wonderful though. Have you had to buy new clothes yet? I have to admit I'm a shopaholic now!

Thanks Lindy!! While I understand your husbands point of view on doing the commerical, I would have so wanted to do it if I were you. That would have been a great testimony! And seems like we are all on the snack band wagon..and hopefull we will all work thru it! Talk to you soon. Steph
