From "Super" to "Morbid" !!!

Well, from my surgery on 4/1/04 I've cranked off 27 lbs and I've gone from a "Super" to "Morbid" on my bmi; I'm so proud to be morbid!!! -Sandra

THAT IS SOOO GREAT THAT YOU LOST 27LBS. QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT. WOULDN'T YOU SAY? I HAD MY SURGERY ON THE 5TH AND ACCORDING TO MY SCALE I HAVE ONLY LOST 20LBS. AND I'M A LIL DISAPPOINTED. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THAT I WOULD HAVE LOST MORE BUT THAN. AGAIN I WAS ON MY MONTHLY FOR 3 WEEKS. I'M HOPING THAT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. MY START WEIGHT WAS 260 AND I'M DOWN TO 240, WHICH ISN'T BAD AND I KNOW THAT I SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN. I WAS JUST HOPING THAT I COULD HAVE AT LEAST AVERAGED 8 TO 9 LBS A WEEK. WELL GOOD LUCK ON BEING MORBID AND REACHING THE NEXT STEP DOWN. REBECCA

Thanks Rebecca. I think your 20 lb loss is GREAT! I'm heavier so I I'm gonna' drop just a few more. Actually, I would have thought I'd have lost a little more myself. I have a scale that I swear is posessed. I weighed myself Friday and it said 301. Yesterday (Sunday) I weigh and it says 305.5. Now come on....I think you can guess what I did next..............BOUGHT A NEW SCALE!! LOL -Sandra

SOMETIMES THE SCALES ARE POSSESSED.HOWEVER I BEILEVE IT WAS PROBABLY WATER WEIGHT. I TRY AND WEIGH MYSELF 1ST THING IN THE MORNING . I TOLD MY AUNT WHO ALSO HAD THE SURGERY DONE TO WEIGH HERSELF ONCE A WEEK. BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FOLLOW THAT RULE FOR MYSELF. IAM VERY CURIOUS OF MY PROGRESS. MY APPETITE IS MY DOWNFALL. EVEN THOUGH I'M NOT HUNGRY I STILL CHOOSE TO EAT. BAAAD HABIT!!! WHICH I REALLY NEED TO BREAK BEFORE IT RUINS MY PROGRESS. GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEW SCALE AND YOUR PROGRESS REBECCA
