June Bugs...Weight Loss Updte!

I had my lap RNY June 18, 04 start weight 340 wt today 295 -45 lbs woooooo hooooo I am so glad that most every one is in about the same weight loss bracket. I just started walking and boy is it ever hot here in Atlanta. My son said the cutest thing about my weight loss the other day, he said "Mom, you used to be my big fluffy pillow, now you are going to be my warm blanket" cute huh? I was like are you talking about my sagging skin on my arms? and he said "yep" lol lol I just had to crack up. I love that kid! Ya'll keep up the positive attitude because if your happy every thing goes much more smoothly! Be sweet and make good choices! Smooches, Dawn

Hi, I know I have been terrible about updating. Right after my surgery we found out we have to move so ever since it's been crazy. Finding a house, packing and now just waiting to close (oh and still packing..LOL) Anyhoo, I think it's 10 weeks today and I am down 60 pounds. WOOHOO!! It's great!!! Tasha 303.5/243.5/138

Hey Everybody! Congrats to all of us!!! Here I am. Better late than never! I'm getting tired of two pounds down then one pound up, same for 4 - 5 days, then one pound down the one pound back up, then hold for 4-5 days, then two pounds down ...... I know!..... Throw out the scale! But I need it for encouragement and as a deterent, too. I don't need any excuses like, "But you're doing so good! Go ahead and just try to eat one." Flip that ole devil off my shoulder!! I am going to increase my protein and water and I'm sure that will kick my metabolism back in to gear. We'll seeeee...........
