Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Katy, Thanks sweetie!!! I know what you mean...this weather is just incredibly crazy. I am so ready for spring / summer so I can get things done. I just did my taxes tonight and submitted to the IRS via e-filing, but I was dreading being up because it's too darn cold. Right Now, I am feeling good about the way I look. The problem is just in my head about the actual weight on the scales. In High School, I was always between 105 - 115. So, I knew that there would be a possibility that I could easily get into this range, but I wasn't sure what the realistic aspect of it was. In high school, I often looked anorexic in pictures that showed my shoulders, etc. or at least when I was in drill team outfits that were tight fitting. I don't feel like I look quite that bad or even bad at all. Pictures is usually when I can tell. If I don't have my makeup on and my hair isn't fixed, I feel like I really look bad. Not sure why that matters, but I think a large part of it is the fact that my hair is still growing out and has all of these fly aways that are only an inch off my head. URGH!!! I never had short hair before ever, so I am not familiar with hair grow out. It's not very fun. I am noticing my hair starting to thicken up a bit. I have very fine brittle hair anyway and thus it's really struggling after the surgery, but it's definitely on the mend and time will deal with that. Dana (CajunGirl) on the TMB just posted a thread yesterday about how when you even back out and level out you don't look so gaunt and the issues at one year, etc of looking to thin seem to ease up a bit, even though there is no weight fluctation. You should go take a look at the post, it's amazing. Of course, her hair is a different color, she has more makeup on and she is actually smiling in the 2008 picture vs the 2007 pic. But it still gives me hope to look forward to. Well...keep things up girl!! You are so close to goal and I am very proud of you. Hugs, Lindy Steph - You are close to goal too!!! WAY TO GO! You rock for keeping us accountable every week, no matter what. This post is like my one daily cup of coffee, even if it does only happen once a week. Til next week!

Lindy- I'm glad you posted this- I already feel that I look different. the pounds are the same- but the weight is distributing differently and I just look different- I was wondering what was going on... guess it's just settling in... Holly

No problem Lindy! I need this post each week!! lol And even though I am inching towards my goal..it seems at times that I is so far away....But if I can loose more than 160 pounds...then these last 20 pounds are attainable too. I just have to refocus and stop snacking on high calorie low protein foods. I am so looking forward to your prayer posts each week!!

Well, I am not complaining, BUT... I keep inching downward and I really want to figure out how to stay put at a weight. I will probably lose 5 or more pounds after my TT next month and I really don't want to go below 155, so this is an interesting problem to have! HW 327 SW 299 LW 164? CW 163

Belle - wow 5 lbs from your TT? Do they weigh it, do you think? I hope so, I'm hoping to lose between 3-5 lbs after mine and then I'm good. lol! Love your new avatar! Gorgeous!

Janie- They have to weigh it and record it... let us know... I am sooo excited for you!!! Holly
