Monday Morning Weigh Ins (better late than never)

Good Morning My January Lovelies!
Wow! I can't believe that I am the one posting this...and so late, too! So, I went to my first OH event this weekend in Sacramento. It was fun and informative, although a bit smaller than I would have expected. And I had a plastics consult and estimated quote for tummy tuck and lift/aug....yikes...$17,000. It's not happening. They also said that they don't really know of anyone who gets their tt payed for by insurance, so don't even consider it. Well...that means it's Mexico or nada.
Okay, enough about me...here's the numbers:

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 138.8
Today: 138.8
A new low perhaps? My brain is not wanting me to gain back up to 145 like I had hoped. I'll have to see how long this lasts to decide if it's where my body wants me to be, or if it's my brain deciding to keep me here. I'm very confused about the whole thing.
Make it a great week!!

Hey Suz-
maybe it's just you and me today!!!  :)
I'm sitting okay at 131- up from 124- but I think I'm okay with that...
I posted 2 recent pics with more weight on- you'll have to tell me what you think...don't be shocked by my hair- haven't had it this short in over 20 years!!!

I think if you're eating healthy and not working at taking the weight off- your body is hopefully just going to stop at a healthy weight.  Are you eating enough?
Great week to you too-
Holly :)

Wow, Holly...I have to say that I think you look amazing!! The extra couple of pounds has really given you a healthy glow; it definitely suits you. I truly like the hair, too!
I am eating enough, but of course could always stand to get in more protein. I'm not sure what the reason is for the drop in weight, but I do feel like I need to keep an eye on it just to be sure that my head isn't making decisions that are unrealistic or unhealthy for my body. Besides, I don't want to ever get to the point where others might view me as looking sickly. The extra skin still has me viewing myself as fat and roly-poly....so I'm not the best judge of my appearance.

Thanks Suz!!!
I have to take pics to keep the reality clear!!! :0
I hear you on the head talking...crazy.
I remmeber you liked the pumpkin kashi granola bars?  Well I found 2 more that I like- Nature Valley granola bars crunchy- pecan- new flavor- YUMMY!!!
Also I like the new NutriGrain fruit and nut bars- you can actually see and taste the fruit and nuts!!!  :)
Holly

My goodness...you have a good memory! I still love those pumpkin bars, but the pecan bars? YUM!! Those sound great! Thanks for the heads up, Holly.

Holly - You look amazing. And I love the haircut. You are very daring. I want to go shorter but I don't know if I could pull it off. I have curly hair, so the shorter it gets the curlier it gets. I straighten my hair a lot and I bet it would be so hard to straighten when it's curly and short. But I can't wear my hair long and straight forever huh? What am I going to do when I'm in my 50's I can't see me w/ my hairstyle now @ 50. I love the Meg Ryan messy look. but couldn't pull it off because of my curly q's (which I hate!)

Anyways, back to you. You don't need to lose anymore weight. I like you now w/ the extra 7 lbs, you can really tell a difference. You have a great shape and may lose that if you lose more weight. Wow, what a difference, 1 1/2 yr ago we were all obese and look at us now. Go us!!!

The triplets started kindergarten right? How's that going? Not sure how you do it w/ 3 little ones. Mine are either talking or up to something they shouldn't be. I'm so tired at the end of the day. I bet yours are angels!!!

R U kidding me- angels?  UGH!!!  I think I was one of the few moms who didn't cry on the first day of Kindergarten.  WOW- what a relief- 3 hours each day to myself- HEAVEN!!!
Thanks for the compliments.  I have really wavy hair and I do straighten it now- but I don't mind- it takes a few seconds cuz there's so much less of it.  It looks better when I blow dry it- but I only do that on occasion.  My husband was shocked when I came home.  I just had to do it- I was putting my hair in a pony every day and I was actually getting hair loss on the upper corners of my forehead.  When I told the haircutter-lady to cut it- she said- wow-we could do locks of love if you went this short.  It wasn't what I planned- but I love it anyways.  It's grown out quite a bit.
Thanks-
Holly

Yeah that's going to be me too come next Tuesday, I won't shed a tear. hehehehehehee! Well maybe one or two.

One day I want to go short, I'm just so nervous. But you're right, it takes hardly anytime to straighten it then.

What does your dh say about your weight? Does he like you now or when you were 7 lbs lighter? Isn't it crazy that we are talking about just 7 lbs?? But it does make a difference. Back when I was obese if I would have heard someone talking about gaining 7 lbs I would have been like "give me a break, it's just 7, SEVEN, pounds! "Seriously though, it gives you a good shape and like I said your BMI is still low,

Hey Holly - I have something for you, but it's not allowing me to paste it here. Can I have your email address and I'll send it to you through email? It's a side by side pic of you, before and after. It's amazing.
