Damn girl! I weigh about the same and I look nowhere near as good as you in bra and panties! My stomach is nasty and my legs are so saggy.  Oh well, at least I look good with my clothes on and luckily my hubby loves me, flab and all LOL! Keep workin it girl!

Girlie you still doing a good job..
I think we all hit a stop point about every 2 to 3 months.. I can only speak for myself.. I focus on the water & protein... Not so much the number on the scale.. because sometimes the scale will not determine you loss.. you will lose enormous amounts of inches..for me the 3 weeks no loss I lose 8 to 10 inches I DROPPED 2 pants sizes, so I know we all have days we are busy, or just plain don't feel like working out.. but don't beat yourself up.. just look forward to the next day to do better.. OKAY.. Remember this is a life change process..so it does take time, don't get down.. 10lbs in 1 month is still above average!! And you know what walking & jogging actually burns more calories, then doing reps every day in the gym.. YEP ask a trainer.. you do need strength training at least 2 times per week, but walking and jogging actual makes the metabolism rate increase.. before Thanks Giving dinner I went out and walk 2 miles, and you know what I was less hungry, and I got my metabolic rate up so it was burning before I ate.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

keep your head up. If you have a bad day don't let it mess up tomorrow. get your protein and water in tomorow and see how you feel. Then get your vits in and take a long walk around the block. You will get it together, Good luck sweetie!

Im pretty much eating more...and Im getting my apetite back.
Its crazy because last month I only lost ten pounds.
I geuss Im pretty happy with that 10 pounds because this month I have only lost
about two. Im starting to stress myself out and figure out what I am doing wrong.
Im going to be completely honest when I say I haven't been making the best choices
with food. I also haven't excersized in 3 weeks. I geuss I just needed to vent! Sorry! LOL.
I hope everyone is doing well.

I have to agree it DOES feel good not to stuff my belly. I used a side plate and tried a little of all the veg. my husband cooked with the turkey and some Irish boiling bacon.  We are Irish and moved here 17 years ago. It was all delicious! I was working yesterday from 4am to 12.30pm and most of the cooking was done when I came home.My husband is a good cook and the poor man was sweating up a storm when I got home. The kitchen was like a furnace!

I, too, am so thankful for my surgery. I can do my work as a TSA Officer at Logan Airport so much easier now that I am down 71 lbs. I can stand for long periods of time as we have to do and can lug around the bags that need to be searched with hardly any trouble.

My life has definitely changed for the better!!!

Topic: RE: Happy Thanksgiving!
I was a bit worried about Thanksgiving.  We were going to be with my DH family.  A few of them knew about my surgery, but not all.  I was not involved at all in the planning or cooking, so I was totally at the mercy of others who were not at all concious of the content of the holiday feast.  I chose carefully, turkey of course, a few bites of dressing, potatoes.  Had to avoid the green beans - they were made with brown sugar!  Even had one small taste of the pumpkin pie.  Was plenty for me to eat and I had no trouble with not eating or tasting the rest of the spread.  I made sure I was also one of the last to fill my plate so I was finishing my small meal as everyone else was groaning about how miserable they were.  I used a dessert plate so it looked like I had more food than others.  Of course, I needed to eat at dinner time when everyone else was still digesting! :)

Was a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, food, and of course football!
