Was a good week. Some ups and some downs but overall it was good. DOS 261 last week 172 This week 169 Makes 3lbs and I'll take it! Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Hugs, Rebecca

Hi Donna! Sounds like you've become the face of WLS around there! Good for you!!! I love going to the surgeon's office now. Talking with pre-ops is the best! I love it! I love that I can show them my pics, calm them down, give them a laugh, give them some protein samples, and just listen to them. It's great. Well, as I've been decluttering my body, I've gotten motivated to declutter my home. I'm trashing stuff that should have been trashed years ago...and I love it! As for the holidays we "might" go down to the in-laws for Thanksgiving. That should be interesting. The last time I saw most of that family is August. So, obviously, most have not seen me since I was 265. lol It all depends on some medical things Mark is dealing with. Christmas is always here. I have double ovens so why not. LOL I'm really looking forward to that this year. God knows I have a LOT to feel blessed about. I feel more organized for the holidays too. Mark went to a show and got two $500 AMEX gift cards so we've been doing some Christmas shopping. It's fun to get it done now and not December 22nd. lol I have my Christmas cards and I'm going to start getting them done now too. I want this to be the easiest, least stressful Christmas ever.

Okay---I'm back from my Disney vacation...and it's been 2 weeks since I've posted my weight. Surgery Day: 367 2 Weeks ago: 266 Today: 261 Total loss: 106 lbs So that's a 5 lb loss in 2 weeks. I'm not TOO excited about that...I miss the days of losing 5 lbs in a week. I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself....that's the first time I've EVER gone on vacation for 7 days--and lost 3 lbs. We out out for every meal of course.........and even went to a buffet a couple times. I guess I shouldn't be too critical of myself. I'm getting it back in gear for this week. I'm trying some Atkins Advantedge protein shakes and trying to get back to basics. I want to see more than 2 lbs next week! I've missed all my Mayers! Courtney

Well, that is exciting news! I agree with the rest of the gals, you'll know when the time is right and look at it from his point of view. When you go out to eat you are a cheap date. LOL It will work out if its meant to be. Hugs, Sue

You said it yourself, "still super early". The right time will come to tell him. Congrats on the new romance! It's vague, but I can recall how warm & fuzzy it feels...LOL
