Monday Morning Weigh-ins

LOVE the new pic Stacey!

Like your new picture!!

Holly- I know what you mean... I am nervous about how much I have been eating lately. Since I came home from my surgery, my mother has been here and has been COOKING up a storm, all of my favorites of course. I swear, if she doesn't leave soon or I get some self control, I am going to regain all 9 pounds that came off during the body lift! Of course I am sitting here thinking about the cheesey chicken and pea casserole she is fixing tomorrow.... yum! Last week 167 Today 165 (where are the 9 pounds, darn it?! Swelling, I hope!) Highest weight 327 Surgery weight 299 Total lost 162 (uhhhh... wow! Is that right?!)

Hey Holly you are not crazy! I had a doctors appt on Monday morning and totally forgot about posting!! lol Thanks for stepping up and posting this for us. I am actually found me a new support group to attend and its with a new program just starting up ...so I am the only person attending right now so I have had the therapist 3 weeks in a row to my self! I am really enjoy it....I also attended my first overeaters annonymous meeting just to see what they were all about. Not really sure if I am ready to tackle knitting though... I have had some swelling in my right leg and had to go and do an ultrasound to rule out a blood clot on Monday and that scared the beejeebes out me....I don't have the results back yet but my leg and ankle are still swelling everyday....I got back to the doctor next Tuesday to find out..they took blood work and a chest xray too...so I am really ready to find out what is going on. Here are my stats: HW 327 SW 322 LW 163 CW 162.4 WOOHOO!! Finally moving back down..not much of a loss but I will take it!! Down 0.6 pounds this week and looking forward to a bigger loss next week!!

Steph- it's so interesting that you mentioned this- I just posted on the colorado forum about a support group to attend...I really need to get back on track... please keep me posted on overeaters anonymous- that's something I would be into too... sorry to hear about the swelling- but am glad you're getting it checked- when you were AWOL Monday I wondered if it was something health related... thanks- Holly

I will keep you posted! I am going back on Sunday and they say you should attend at least 5 meetings before you decide if it is for you or not. I also plan on attending another group meeting at a different location to compare to the first group. It was good to be around folks we understood what I was mentally going thru for a change.

Goodness lady! I hope that the swelling turns out to be something easily fixed...I can imagine how scary that would be to have it happening everyday. But, otherwise...you're looking good...that scale just keeps moving in the right direction for you!

Thanks Suz!! The swelling was much better today but I am anxious to hear what the lab results and xrays show. I will know on Tuesday next week...the waiting is killing me.
