Topic: Plastics anyone??
I was lucky enough to have three free consults with plastic surgeons at the recent OH event in Los Angeles. All three agreed that I should lose 20 more pounds before I can have a lower-body-lift. I thought I had another 50-60!!! I'm closer to the end of my weight-loss journey than I thought!!! How about all of you? New boobies? new arms? new thighs for anyone in the near future???
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Been awhile since I've checked in but have been thinking about all of you!  Hope this fall is finding you all healthy and happy!  I haven't been as motivated to loose my last 25lbs to meet my surgeon's goal for me but am THRILLED with my 100lbs loss!  I see him for my annual visit next week...I'm only 3 months late in making the appt! :-D  Wonder what he will say........... anyway, I'm feeling great, off all meds, have good BP and increased energy.  Life is good!  Only problem is occasional attacks by the Snack Monster...have to watch out for him cuz he's really bad!!!  Take care all, hope to hear from you soon, Jean


 WLS!

Hi all -

DOS - 300

Today - 156.4

Total of 150 but a bit less than that from DOS loss.

Slowly losing like many of you - 3-5 a month, but sometimes I stay put for 6 weeks...

I run a good bit now - 3/4 miles 2-4 days a week...

need to really work on lifting weights - especially in my arms! 

I'm still a size 14 tho - still a bit of flab around the middle, in addition to excess skin... would love to lose 10 more pounds before plastics... but we shall see if that's in the cards!  I am happy and thrilled with where i am regardless of whether i ever lose another ounce!!!

So thrilled I decided to have the surgery!!!

Well this is Synergy checking in ... I am 158 pounds this week ... I am still losting ... sometimes no more than one pound a week - but I never gain (smile).  I am 8 lbs til goal and there is where I wanna be.

I could do better with my protein intake - I think I am going to start taking my whey powder in my oatmeal (while the oatmeal is dry before cooking) and my chocolate flavored whey powder I think I will put a bit in my coffee. 

I am NOT eating anymore between the meal snacks - I was doing wheat-air-popped popcorn and celery/ all natural peanut butter.  Well, I decided that if I am not truly "hungry" - I won't be snacking - just to be snacking.

Congrats to all - lets stay the course.  Oh, I am in a size 6 and lovin every minute of it!

Topic: Updates, everyone!
Hmm...I was 368 at consult, 200 day of surgery--now I am 162 and still losing. It's all good in da hood, as they say. I would like to lose a few more, but don't expect much.

My big issues now are living with the wrinkly sack of skin that surrounds me (ugh) but I'll cope. You don't get to lose 206 pounds and bounce rigt back, I guess. ;)

Plastics next summer, hopefully.

Energy's great. Just upped my calories to 1200 a day today. Went nuts last week and ate half of New England (planned!) while on vacation-- it was delicious-- I gained a little water, but eneded up 2.4 pounds lighter when all was said and done...having eaten every maple item, chocolate cake, cheesecake, poutine, steak, corn fritters, flatbread pizza and block of cheddar in sight. Nice, eh?

Hope you're all doing well!

One hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had, or what my clothes were like, but THE WORLD MAY BE A LITTLE BETTER BECAUSE I WAS IMPORTANT IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD.
