Still working towards losing, some days I do better than others.
Before WLS: 266
Now: 176
Goal: 154
Dream Goal: 135 CONGRATULATIONS on your success of a wonderful weight loss and keeping it off for 3 years! 
It's wonderful that technology has given us tools to help up achieve what we may not have been able to prior to the WLS. Sometimes it's so easy to feel discouraged for where we want to be instead of remembering where we were without the help. At least for me it is... I commend you you for your positive frame of mind and the perseverance to keep moving forward!
GREAT JOB!

I had my three year surgeon's appointment yesterday. He was very pleased, and told me that I was his "biggest loser". I was thrilled!
This was the best thing I could have done for myself. It's too bad it took me two years to take the plunge.

Oh Kat, what a horrible time for you. I'm sure eating right is the last thing on your mind right now, but remember to take care of yourself.
Did you do the lean on the scales too? If I lean to the left I lose a pound!!!! heehee

pretty hectic, we have had two close family friends die separately in car accidents. so it has been a terrible two weeks. and we have ate way too much funeral food. brownies and lunch meats and stuff. I had an obstruction yesterday, felt terrible until I was able to gag it back up. yes, three years out, i am still having trouble wolfing down food and not chewing properly.

159..oopps, let me to pee, 158, this is better. HEEHEE

Hi All
how has yoru week been? Mine has been frantic as usual - I was very stressed at the start of the week, but although the issues/work load is still there I'm dealing with it all better so am enjoying life again. It's amazing how attitude can affect the whole body isn't it.
Anyway, here are my numbers for this week:
Last week:175
This week: 173
Mini goal:167
YAY...I'm really pleased. I do miss those early days when it felt like it dropped off, even though I was a slow loser compared to others, but at this stage, 2lb is good for me and takes me closer to my mini goal.
Does anyone still do the chain thing? Remember we had a chain gang thing going on at one time - I can't remember who started it, but I still have my paperclips hanging up in my dining room. One chain for all the pounds I've lost and one for the pounds I still want to lose. When I', feeling fat or like I haven't lost weight, I look at the long chain of all the pounds I've alreayd lost and feel better about my acheivement.
Have a great week, and remember (note to self as well!!), no matter what the cir****tances, you can ALWAYS feel good about yourself. Be proud
hugs, Ruth
