Topic: RE: Sunday Weigh In
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.

Topic: 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?

Topic: winning the battle on obesity
I guess as most of us are approaching goal or at goal now look at the mirror and see that well life was not to kind on the skin as we lost over 100 plus pounds. I am sure the young 20 something crowd may have been lucky but for some of us older women it did not come back. My girls have really gone south and my stomach is so bad. and yes I am very blessed to be able to take care of the stomach but I am sure the thighs will need a work up the arms the whole body is just hanging skin my i mean face i am sooooooooooooooooo ugly now as my face looks like it is hanging and u know people say u look so different but no one has said u look so pretty u know what i mean????? I am not fishing for complaments here as I know I am not a very pretty woman pretty much a plane jane all my life. I guess my pass childhood fears are creeping up
I was known as the smart girl the nerd,swimmer or just ugly betty if u will and now my skin just hangs and I feel even uglier losing weight am I the only one going threw this??? OK I think because I am gonna turn 50 in january I feel like I let my youth slip away and let obesity take over and now that I am no longer obese I am left with this hanging skin. on this bony body I think I am angry at my self I took 25 years to deal with my morbid obesity and now I just look ugly with hanging skin I mean I got to go get labs done and look to see if menopause is comming soon and take the hormone test . I have some pics of when I was 295 lbs I am gonna add to my profile and one is me of the back I need to take pic of me now wearing that dress and will post that soon I hope Was a real shocker how huge I let my self go in that pic was a pic of my back.
I hope in time I will learn to love my new look or I am gonna be a plastic surgery junkie ok off to the gym LOL
