Sunday Weigh In

Good morning. This is a big week for some of our team members. Dee had her tummy tuck amd Lisa (Shmeesa) is here in Chicago running the marathon, How exciting for them. Just think, a year and a half ago, I bet these things were just a fantasy to them. I am so proud of them, and all of our team.
No weight loss for me this week, but that's OK

DOS 345
NOW 192

153 ugly pounds of fat gone forever

And how was your week?

hello
I wish I coujld find a scale to weigh myself on. I am dying to see what it is right now. I know I have lots of swelling but still. I have been bleeding alot from my staples well not streight blood just light pink but it has been going through my binder and pants. I know have the dressing on it and a pad over that to obsorb the excess. I called Dr he said it is normal so I am not freaking out. I go friday to my check up. I am going to drive home tomarrow and back up on friday. I can't sit very long it makes me quite tired.

Wow it has been a exciting week for some ... down a pound barely
last week 185
This week  184.8
Down 111 pounds
8 weeks  1 day for tummy tuck, I am sure  u guys are gonna get sick of me and my count down lol but I cannot believe  I got so lucky I am never this lucky seriously I am the type of person if not for bad luck I would have no luck. My family are made up of tiny vegans lol I always thought I was a freak of nature to my family all my sisters mom are 5 ft and tiny and I am taller than my brother and  dad so I felt huge and out of place
Finally I will not be the fat sister in pics at reunion or the topic of conversation  how i should lose that tummy with more exercise. My family does not know I had a lap band they thought weigh****chers would do it and exercise  like 12 hours a day would work lol but I cannot eat like ww I have too eat even less. But they will know about my tummy tuck and boob 09 job kinda  hard to explain big tah tahs all of a sudden LOL I may never be like my family 105 lbs but I will look more normal.
Keep  up the good work A team.

Hello everyone,

It's Monday, but I guess I can still check-in.   I have a terrible cold and just laying low as much as I can.   I weighed in today at 210.  But I'm not too upset since I'm on my cycle... It will go back down.   I'm trying to learn to be happy with where I am.

I was at a mother's group this week and someone said I was "tiny".  I was almost insulted.  Like they where being condescending.  Does that make sense?  The gal was saying.. Your so tiny,  I bet this would fit you....  It was a size medium shirt.   I wear xl  and maybe a Wal-Mart large if it is long enough. (I'm really tall).   I laughed and was in shock at such a suggestion.   I still have to shop in the plus size section in some stores!!  I am far from tiny.   Actually, I feel fatter now then I did 100 lbs ago.  Why is that?

Then I go full circle here and think about how much healthier I feel.  I have tons of energy, and my joints don't ache.  I can ride my bike for hours without feeling tired.  I can run without feeling like I'm going to fall apart.  I can cross my legs when sitting on the floor!  This week I discovered I can do the splits!  LOL  Not many 30 year olds can do that eh?

Okay..thanks for listening.

Congrats on the tummy tuck Dee!  I am looking forward to reading more updates.   And Lisa, I won't get tired of your countdown, I'm right with ya, excited as ever!  I'm really proud to be part of the A-team!

So Many Exciting things going on. I am so jealous of Dee and her tummy tuck. Wi**** was me but I am so happy for her!
I am still maintaining. I bounce back and forth between 155-156 depending on the day. This morning it was 155lbs.
I am going to get back to post op class. I need to touch base and keep mself on track.
