Monday morning weigh Ins!!!

Can you believe I'm the one that's posting this?? I usually don't post till Wednesday's. Well Im good here in Iowa... The protonix and Carafat slurries seem to be keeping my tummy calm, so maybe, just maybe it is a Ulcer. Who knows! My weight is maintaining at 141lbs.... HW 292, SW 282, LW 141 Does anyone else hate it when someone says... Your to skinny? I HATE IT!!!!! I joined a "Anytime Fitness" Gym.. open 24hours... I have NO excuses... My hours changed at the hospital so I only work 2 12 hour days..... 6a-6p... No nights!! That's going to help ALOT! I also joined a Fitness class that's called "Power Pump" its lifting weights and body building. I don't need plastic surgery done anywhere but my boobs and my arms. Well a good push up bra works for my boobs... But my arms need help, I have a friend that has lost over 100lbs TWICE!!! Well she just cometeted in a body building contest. Amazing. She's inspired me to really workout hard! Well hope everyone is having a fine week! Sorry so long ..... Stacey

WOW... I should do SPELLCHECK!!! #1 Im working 3 days a week.. #2... my friend Competed in a body building contest. Its early! Sorry

Wow! Maybe a future body builder in our little group? Yay, for you!! I really need to get serious about lifting weights, but I just can't seem to do it! Perhaps you can serve as motivation for me?

NO BODYBUILDING HERE.... just want those BAT Wings GONE!! LOL

Morning Stacey!! I am at home this week recovering from having my gall bladder removed. Things are going well, just a little sore and getting used to moving so I dont cause myself unneeded pain! lol And I definitely get tired of ppl saying I am too skinny when I know I am still 40 pounds over my goal weight. Good luck with your new work out routine! And your friend competing in the body building competition is inspiring! I was watching the olympics last night and looking the runners build was inspiring. I enjoy working out but need to get back on track with my healthy eating. Hope you have wonderful week too! HW 327 SW 322 LW 176 CW 178

Glad your feeling better!!! Just remember to rest!! 40lbs to go? You do absolutely look awesome now!!! Yes, My friend.. we actually just found eachother again after 8 years and I about died when I see her. She had competed years ago after she had lost like 100lbs... then got PG and gained like 100lbs back... then she lost it again... and just competed last winter! Blow's my mind. She says don't let anyone tell you that you can't tone loose skin! So Hell I'm there!! LOL No competing, just don't want the bat wings. I do believe her, I don't need a tummy tuck and I give 100 crunches a night credit for that! I've done that since day one! Well gotta run... Keep getting better!! Stace

{{{{Stephanie}}}} hugs for the surgery...I hope that you are feeling like your self soon. I get the "skinny" comments, too...drives me crazy! I had another colleague of my husband not recognize me last night at the fair. He said he didn't know that I had lost soooo much weight. I thought I was done with the comments, but I guess not. Eventually, everyone will be used to how we look now and it won't be an issue anymore. I can't wait for that day because the excitement from people noticing has certainly worn off!

Thanks Suz!! And the excitement has worn off and it is crossing over to annoyance at times!! lol Talk to you soon! Steph

Hey Stephanie - I didn't even know you were having your gall bladder removed. Did you post that here? I can just see you posting it, me replying and then totally forgetting. That is the story of my life lately, I am so forgetful. I was so with it before twins, lol! I'm glad everything went fine. You make sure and rest, take advantage of it, when are you told to do nothing and rest? Enjoy it! Now does your gall bladder have anything to do with you swelling up? I'm praying for you. HW 238 SW 225 LW 122-123 CW 121 Have a great week everyone! And Suz I want to know how you lost that weight overnight!!! SKINNY! hehehehehe!

Hey Janie..I did not post it here...It all happened kind of fast..they found the gall stones while trying to figure out why I was having all the swelling (which we still don't know the cause of yet) and my surgeon wanted to get them out before I had an attack because it would have been more steps to the surgery if they moved out into the bile duct. So you did not forget! Thanks for your prayers and hopefully they will figure the swelling out soon...but the gall bladder did not have anything to do with it...finding the gall stones was just a bonus from trying to figure the swelling out. lol
