Hello, I haven't weighed myself in about a week. I threw out the scale at home, years ago; to discouraging. The only scale I use now, is the Publix scale. I haven't had to go to the doc for anything, so just Publix. I'm just so happy to have both my size and weight start with a one that I guess I just got to a point where I'm not so hyped up on the numbers, anymore. Would I love to make it to my dream goal, pie in the sky, of 150? You betcha! But to tell you the truth, as long as I'm healthy and able to meet all my water, vitamin, and protein needs, I'm just so happy to be able to participate that I don't care what the scale says. This month I'm going to be getting my exercise in by walking door to door, in our neibourhood, selling popcorn with my son, for cub scouts. Woo-hoo. If you know anyone who's interested in buying the different popcorn selections he has, send me a line and I'll give you the info to order online, so he can get credit. I can't put the information on here, because of TOS. [email protected] You may be out of your mind, but consider this... We had to get certified nuts to get this surgery, in the first place. You're just as wacked as the rest of us. There is no normal, just people struggling along trying to have a happy life. Gosh

Hi Julie, I'll take a 143 on the scale any day! I"ve been in the 170's forever. I'm wondering if I need to strave myself to get down to the 150's. I can fit in a 10/12, Medium/Large top. I don't have any figure, just boobs. Guess that's where it comes from. I also am not making excuses, I haven't exercised due to back problems. I am down 80lbs, which is like 2 kindergarten children. I am personally just wanting to lose 20 more to hit 100lbs, I don't know if that's realistic or not for my body. Keep up the good work and run from the scales!! Jen

OMG!! LOL. I believe in weighing once a day. It is a healthy thing once a day-in my opinion-only because every other time in my life that I igore the scale I gain weight TONS of weight. There's a FINE LINE though............. You know lot's of people who've failed at WLS??? OMG-what'd they do wrong? Not follow the rules? After today I've convinced myself I've ruined my WLS. There's no way someone with WLS can consume the amount of food I've been eating at my meals... BTW-THAT POST ****** ME OFF TOO!!!! AND ON A BB FOR PEOPLE 6-7 MONTHS POST-OP...GAWD...HOW RUDE.

Awww thanks! My friend at work took the picture today and sent it to me. She said I looked "too damn cute for words" and thought I should use it as my avatar. I kind of like it too.

Congrats Deena!! I'm almost there...5 more Elisa
