How I did this week

As some of you know I have added more exercise to my daily routine to get off this freaking plateau of losing and gaining the same few lbs. My lowest was 156 w/a loss and regain up to 164. I'm happy to update that after this week I am back down to 158, so I know the ability to lose the weight is there it is just a matter of kicking my own butt into gear. I truly hope that I can get to 150 by my anniversary date. My personal goal of 140 is soooooo close, but I might just settle w/150. Maybe I was just meant to be on the higher side of the BMI scale and I'm just now getting to be ok w/that. Thanks to all of you for your support and I'll keep you updated.

Good for you Jennifer! We are all struggling with that food demon at this point. It has been with us for a very long time and will not go away without a fight. It is a matter of strength and the wls is a great instrument to help us with our own will power. Good luck with your goal, and I believe in you and think with a little effort you CAN make it to 140.

I agree w/you completely! Thank you for your support it really does mean alot to me. I've come this far and I'm not ready to give up the fight and coming here gives me the strength to say "hey others are having the same problems so quit whining and do something about it." Thanks again.

Hi Jennifer~ I just went onto your profile...You look absolutely amazing!!! I love that photo film strip thingy!!! Maybe you could tell me how you did that and then I could quit filling up my profile page with pics. Your arms look soooo good!!! Mine are so flabby that I can't wear a lot of short sleeve shirts. You don't look like you'll need any ps. Congratulations!! And whether you make it to 140 or stay in the 150's, I think you look unbelievable! You rock! Hugs, Kerri

You really know how to make a girl feel good about herself. THANK YOU!! Clothes can be deceiving. I am truly grateful that my arms look as good as they do but my tummy is a whole nother situation. I figure it probably would have looked this way if I had lost the weight after my kids were born anyway. As for the picture strip you just go to www.photobucket.com and upload the photos you want for the strip. Then click on bucket features, then to bucket strip or one of the other cool picture tools that they have. It is free, all you have to do is create a login and get started. If you need any help let me know. Thanks again for making me blush!
