Hi Anna...a day late for me. In fact, I think I missed last week, as well. I am just finishing my spring classes and am sort of decompressing before summer classes begin . Anyway, I don't even remember what I weighed last...Okay...nevermind, I quit being lazy and opened another tab to go check it out from two weeks ago.... Surgery/high: 251.5 Monday two weeks ago: 142.8 Today: 144-ish (not sure since I haven't weighed since last night) I am up a little bit...but, it's due to TTOM. Bloating is for the birds. I think I liked it better before surgery when I would go for 6-8 weeks between cycles...this regularity is killing me . Other than that...I sit here wishing for a plastic surgery fairy to come and grant me my wishes of head-to-toe plastics free of charge. It's not going to happen, is it?? lol. Oh well....have a great week ladies...and any gentleman (Richard) out there! ~Suz

Hi, GloriousB! Of course you can jump in any time! We love having both familiar and new faces popping in on a frequent basis to give their input and support. I have to admit that I have been MIA over the last couple of weeks...not even for Monday Morning Weigh Ins. But, typically I try to check in on a regular basis (several times a week) and post to any new thread if I can think of something relevant to say . Congrats on getting that scale moving again...those carbs are evil !! I never suggest cutting them out or even drastically limiting them as they are a necessary evil if our brains are to operate..but keeping them in check is tricky as best. The pouchy just seems to love how they go down! I just keep repeating the mantra: "Progress, not perfection". Always do our best to make the best choices that we are able at any given moment...it never means to make the "perfect" choice...just do the best that we can under the cir****tances. Well...welcome and I look forward to seeing you around ;o). ~Suz

Yay Holly! I am so proud of you for exercising. You are going to be addicted to it before long! I can't weigh in just yet. I am on the road. I am sidelined a bit with a knee problem of some sort. I have a doctor's appointment with the orthopedist as soon as he gets back from vacation but it isn't until June 10. Grrr. I am going to try water exercises later this week. Katy

Hey guys- sorry holidays throw me off- spent two days this week back in the 120's- but am back up to 132- but that's okay I guess. I have been working out 5 days a week after joining the Y. The triplets are out of school and they offer 2 hours of childcare free each day- what a motivator to workout!!! Plus my 19 year old is home from school and she goes and I get to spend time with her so I love that. I am actually starting to enjoy it- some days more than others- but I guess with all things that is normal. I will be going in for another blood test this week- I will keep you posted. Hang tough everyone- remember it's bathing suit season!! Holly

Hey Anna! Congrats on your great week and on being so close to your doctors goal! Happy Memorial Day to you all! Today is a wonderful day to remember all the soldiers who have given their lives so we could live free! My scale is still moving up HW 327 SW 322 LW 168.6 CW 172
