Finally photos

I have toyed with photos, trying to upload...sending in the pdf version...I found a site where I could be at home uploading. I have a page at http://loriw.piczo.com This week has been crazy so haven't posted much and have missed it but I do get in and read the posts when I can. I started a new job on Monday and have been in training so by the time I get home, my little pea brain is tired and I'm ready to crash. I'm enjoying it though. It is a very welcomed change in my life as is the weight loss. I'm at 86 pounds down since surgery and about five away from breaking into the twooo's . Everybody say a curse to those five pounds for me...the scale is playing with me...in the morning I'll be at 304.6 and in the evening 308....how can I gain four pounds in the day? Water? Anyway, I'm trying to stay off the thing and relax a little bit about it. Think I hit the forever dreaded plateau? I don't want to plateau...I'll whine. Maybe I'll just lock the scale away for two weeks....and see what happens...then I can celebrate.

I always weigh less in the morning then at night. So, I only weigh in the morning. I was driving myself crazy and weighing every day. I only weigh on Sunday morning now. It keeps me sane! You're doing great! Those 5 pounds will be gone before you know it.

Thanks for the encouragement. I think I will change and just weigh once a week too. I never thought I would be excited about weighing myself. But to see and feel the pounds coming off...is wonderful.

You look absolutely fabulous! Are those cheekbones I see? I was amazed I have them too. LOL! I adore the purple room. I want one just like it. Keep up the good work. Don't stress the plataeu. Just think how far you've come in less than a year. You've lost an entire person. That just rocks and so do you!

Thanks so much for the encouragement. Yes I do have cheekbones....it's great! My craft room is purple...my hubby didn't like it but I said...hey this is my room I'll paint it whateveer color I want. So I did....and I love it. I rolled it in one shade and sponged it in another...looks pretty cool. When I think about the fact that I have lost enough weight to be an entire person, I just shake my head. I then start to wonder...how in the world did I get so heavy....then I argue with myself. Have you ever done that? Anyway, I do try to focus on the fact that I am now taking care of myself and getting healthier than I have ever been in my life....and that is what is important. If I try to beat myself up over getting this heavy...I won't be successful...so I don't. Those five pounds or so aren't going to make or break me but I will celebrate when I get under that 300 mark. This morning I'm at 302.6...see how close I'm getting? It even makes me more determined.... Looks like the extra attention to exercise and my fluids is helping to break my plateau.... I haven't been there for well over 15 years...guess who's being impatient? This journey is quite the wild ride but is well worth it. I checked out your slide show too. You are making such wonderful progress. Keep it up girl!
