Topic: RE: Happy Re-birth all
It's doing what I've always done.. helping people with special needs, but people are always asking me to do it on the side.. so I bite the bullet and opened a business. I am already looking to hire someone. My projected consultant hours in just the two weeks I have had the business open is 120 a month. thats a lot of hours and at consultant fees its twice what I make at my regular job. I am very busy with this already as you can see.
It's still your month.. congrats on all your success.. I check on you all the time.. glad to see you joined the gym and and getting it done. You will get there but even if you dont... what a wonderful place you are at now. Dont ever loose sight of that.

Topic: RE: Fed Up Friday
you know as well as I do that it is hard to stick to a new routine.
however.
you also may remember that when I was tracking my weight week after week during the first 52 weeks of surgery that even when I ate 225 calories a day, that some weeks I would GAIN... which defied logic... it is normal. it is part of the body,, and if you keep it up, EVENTUALLY you will force your body to DO what you WANT it to do!
you do not want stay where you are, you want to make a change, an that change is going to be fought by your body, but if you persist, eventually you will out stubborn your body and you will win.
I believe in you. You can do it.

Hi Carla
good to see you over here. What is your new business? Sounds like you are keeping busy.
My goodness, two years since we all had our re-birth. I've technically got another month to wait, seeing as I was May 31st. How our lives have changed!!!
Topic: Fed Up Friday
So I've stuck with my plan all week - 1000 cals or less, high protein, low/zero carbs and I gained two pounds this morning!!
I am so fed up with it. I lost two last week, great I thought, I'm on a downward trend, but no, it's come back to bit me in the butt.
Yes, I know I've started working out, but that was three weeks ago, and I lost last week while working out (and eating carb snacks too). This week, what is going on?????
I really don't have the heart left in me to continue with low carb reduced cals anymore. I may as well go back to eating what I was, at least I stayed the same on that.
Sorry for moaning on, but I'm just so frustrated with not being able to lose these last 17 pounds til I'm normal (BMI that is).
Topic: RE: DAY FOUR
Yep, it was a good day for me. I also went to my fab abs class which is getting easier and I ache for less days afterwards!! and NO it's not because I'm not working out as hard 
I did honestly think that may be the case last week so tried extra hard this week, plus we had a new trainer, so I must be getting better at it. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.

Topic: RE: Day Three...
AHHHH you guys made me cry.
It sure is strange that support comes from so far away and not from here where I am actually doing the work.
I am heading to Vancouver (a two hour ferry ride away) to see a friend for her birthday, so I won't be around until at least Sunday.
And then I am going to be sorting and packing like a whirling dervish.
I am sorting out clothes that don't fit anymore, my friend with the birthday has a consignment store for plus sizes and I wanted to take over the stuff that I don't wear anymore for her store. It has been interesting to go through it all rather than pack it all up. I got five garbage bags of clothes and one of shoes. I guess I have been shopping till I am dropping ....
thanks for your kind words, they mean more than I can say

Topic: RE: DAY FOUR
I am afraid that I have ditched the pouch test, but I am back to eating okay. I am heading to Vancouver for the weekend tomorrow so it might be tricky eating for the next day or two. I am going over for a friend's birthday party, we are going to a musical comedy at a dinner theatre. There are going to be a bunch of us WLS people there, so it might be a fun time. It is always a hoot when a whole table full of people ask for huge doggie bags!
So I probably won't be bac****il Sunday, so take care and all...
