SUNDAY WEIGH-IN

Hi everyone! I'm going to New York with my pal so I thought I'd get this thing started early. I can't believe it's almost Easter already! Don't buy Peeps! They're dangerous. lol I had a blah week. I have a bad case of the blahs. One day it's 63 and the next it's 39. Go figure. I can't wait until warmer weather finally hits so I can walk again. I paid for the gym and haven't been in about two months. I just find it way too boring for me. That's why I never stuck with Curves. How boring can you get. lol So, I've taken up belly dancing. Susie swore she'd get me to do it and I finally broke down. And, ya know what? It's a blast!!!! So, here's my week so I can get on the road. Highest right before surgery: 265.8 Day of surgery: 255 Last week: 145.0 This morning: 144.8 Loss this week: .2 pounds (big deal lol) Total pounds lost: 121 pounds Pounds until surgeon's goal: -5.2 pounds Pounds until MY goal: I'm there baby!!!!! Have a terrific week May team!!!! * Cyndi *

Cyndi, I should've warned ya about those evil Peeps. They look all cute and everything, but they're not! They suckered me in too!! Have a nice time in NY. I had a horrible week! My grandfather died, my mother has MRSA/needs surgery and I spent a week down home in WV dealing with ghosts from my past. Gained 3 lbs... Pre-op = 259 Last week = 166 This a.m. = 169

April, Sorry to hear about your loss! You are really having a rough time. {{{{{April}}}}} I hope things are better for you soon!!!! .....and step away from the Peeps!!! Donna

Thank you, Donna! 203 for you...wow! Keep up the good work! Thank goodness those Robin Eggs didn't get me too. In years past they have been just as evil as those darn Peeps...

Oh April. I'm so sorry for your loss and your mom's situation. Just what you need. But, ya know, it's the stress and those three pounds will fly back off. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and hang in there. Next week will be better. * Cyndi *

Thank you so much, Cyndi. I keep telling myself, "One day at a time." And it's working for the most part. I really want to lose 10 more pounds before my year is up. Only 2 more months and I'm getting nervous...

April, I am so sorry for your loss and for your mother's illness. It's important for you to take care of yourself so that you can be there for your family, but DON'T worry about the scale - stress is a KNOWN cause of gaining weight. Just follow, best you can, what you need to do.... Your family is in my thoughts..... The *other* Cyndi (and proud to be so - associated with the first, that is! )

I agree. It ca be easy to lose track of yourself during stressful times. Thank you for your thoughts and encouragement. ~April

Ugh long post and my computer shut down before I posted.......trying again Cyndi LOL on the PEEPs for me it is Robin Eggs. I know I have nto been here much but since accountability helps me I thought I would come back. For the past 3 weeks I have made it to the gym whooo hooo and the scale is moving agian in the right direction!!! Highest weight 325lbs Surgery Day 318lbs last time I posted my weight 212lbs Today 203lbs So I still need to lose the four pounds to be in Onderland that is this weeks goal!!!! Cyndi hope you have a good time today! You can always come here....it is in the 80's and humid already!!! Donna

LOL Donna. You are doing GREAT! You'll be in Onederland in no time!!! I admire you for going to the gym. I feel awful not going. Especially since it's owned by an old high school friend, but Mark's business is soooooooooooo busy and I'm starting my own so there just aren't enough hours in the day. Once it warms up my new walking shoes will go on! I can't wait. I ended up not going up to New York. lol She never called. She was actually going up to pick up her daughter and I didn't want her driving alone. I got up and was ready but maybe it's for the best. Mark is still in bed and I'm getting things accomplished. lol I'll be in Dallas in August....maybe. lol I'm not sure my body could go from 39 degrees to 80 degrees this quickly. LOL * Cyndi *
