Hi, it's Grouchetta (remember me?), I was supposed to be reminding y'all to weigh in tomorrow for our fabulous February 2006 stats, but hey, here's the thing: I'm scheduled for surgery on Thursday, yes, this Thursday hernia repair, panni removal and breast lift. I knew the past few weeks that it might happen, but as of last week there was no insurance approval and it was NOT happening until late June. This morning insurance went thru, and well, yeah, now or never [at least I think so, I still have pre-surgery tests to pass tomorrow]. Weird and scary at the same time. I've been thin, actually this exact size, in the past 5 years, but I haven't been without a fat apron since my early 20's, and suffice to say that was quite a number of years ago. Wow. So knowing this group history, and myself, I'm never going to get all the weights in and charted by Thursday. I wish I could, I am so eager to see them and I really wanted something to compare to, ya know, BEFORE. I just don't see it happening. Soooo, what to do? If you want to send me your weight for the first, I can chart it as I can, and HOPE to post the chart in a couple of weeks, would that be OK? OR should we skip the month again? Just RUSH me those weights?? Or am I crazy for even thinking about it? Anyway, send me your weight [or post it on the thread on OH], and I'll try my best. Send me some positive thoughts, too, and hey, while you're at it my PayPal addy is ... [just kidding!!!] ... if I don't make it, well, you'll never hear from me again;) but if I do, I'll be posting all my pics for you to ponder for your turns [ugh, didn't I say last year NEVER AGAIN?!?]. Love always, xosm

I've been busy with life. I had to have my Gallbladder removed and I have a new nefew. So my life is pretty busy. I am down from 465 to 192 which is only 12 from my new goal and below my original of 225. So life is good. Doug.

I guess people are shy...LOL. Maybe I will post it on the main board. I dunno...I'm a little discouraged by the replies here. LOL You guys are asleep aren't you...? You make an interesting point. I'd like to know too how other people deal. Well, the ones I've gotten aren't that good...it's really silly to me. I get more looks etc. and now I feel like I can't go out without make up or dressed like a bum...

. Thanks for sharing Kayla! Elisa

Life has been hectic as heck... I joined Weigh****chers and the first week picked off over 7 lbs like it was nothing only to have gained back 1 point something this past week. Still, I am not frustrated- heck 6 lbs in 2 weeks is an amazing thing. I have learned that I really need to work hard to marry WW and WLS but I am worth all the effort and I am going to do it ! (I am going to rely on WW for the weekly weigh in and support meeting since I have no WLS support meeting locally.) Having never been a normal weight I have no idea really where I want to get to as a goal so I plan on trying to get down to 150-155 and see where I go from there. My biggest goal was to become more healthy and I have done that, no more diabetes, or high blood pressure meds ! I wear usually a size 12-14 top and and was able to squeeze my butt into a size 17 jr jeans ! I am trying to keep my protein up and am still doing well with my water. As long as I don't over do the carbs I seem to be doing well. Soooo that's where I stand !

Wow-people are shy about this one, huh Elisa? You should post this exact thing on the main BB...It's interesting to me how we formally MO's deal with this attention, vrs people who get this all the time, or their whole lives. I haven't gotten any as good as yours...that's for sure...LOL! Guys just try to make conversation now, and before they never did...so?...I get, "I like your Jeep...bla bla bla..." "I like your tattoo...bla bla bla..." That kind of thing...."what's your name?" "Are you married?"...........The best was the other night I went out with my mama, and the bouncer dude said ,"you look really beautilful tonight." I literally turned around and looked over my shoulder thinking he was talking to someone else. Once a fat girl, always a fat girl...hopefully not in the true sense of the word!
