I just posted a new blog entry - does that count? Seriously, I will be heads-down for the next two weeks and lucky if I have time to just come here and lurk. (More about that in my blog.) But I'll be sure to post something when I get back - a pic of me looking skinny in front of some fountain or cathedral in Austria! -- T.Rob

I second Kathy's comments...you look so happy and healthy! Can't wait to see the other pictures. PS. I love the bonus Carlee pic there, she's such a cutie!

I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was up 1lb since Wednesday. Ruined my morning that's for sure. So no scale hopping until Tuesday for me (my official WI day). I was just looking back on my charts and I've only lost 6 lbs in October. Even my surgeon would be wondering about that. What the heck is going on? Enough complaining for me...I'm off to a baptism in my brand new size 12 dress! I promise to take/post pictures this time.

Hi all, This is the first time I've really checked in on a Sunday since my weigh days are Mondays. After 9 pounds over the past two weeks, I'll be thrilled just to have maintained that loss. Due to that, I'm half expecting a stall here for a week or two. Also, I've made less than perfect choices this week, so I'm going to treat myself to some extra fish and chicken over the next few days. The beauty of this is that you don't have to feel guilty for making poorer choices; just get determined to get refocused. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, I didn't lose this week. 124 pounds are still gone...so I'm happy. John P.S. I've taken a series of shots for my 5 month post-op mark. I'll post to my profile later this week...hopefully.
