My Scale Jumped!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

HI!!! I feel so HAPPY!! with ME! 2 days from my Anniversary! I am now 205 and 37% BMI! I got on the scale as an afterthought- after my busy weekend- And was down 6lbs from last Sunday! HOLY SMOKES!! I'm going to stick with Sunday weigh ins now! My date went well..he came back to my place and loved my apt (it really is big and I have a lot of outdoors space, and private.) When he saw me in this clingy black skirt and top- he looked @me and said- " you are dressed like you want to make love" How is that for what guys think? I like to push buttons.That should keep him wonderin what I wear when not with him! So I didnt hit the gym this weekend, BUT I did get my exercise in! . You might even say I have a personal trainer! I kill myself. OK- so everyone- who is celebrating an anniversary this week- CONGRATULATIONS! The first is on me! My son is coming home today.. So Keep your fingers crossed that he has a safe and uneventful trip- he is flying American. Hugs DONNA 325/205/150

You go Girl!! Last week you were so upset and now that darn scale (how happy we get when it moves in the right direction!!) has good news for you. I'm truly am happy for you Donna! Just 5 pounds to onderland!!!!!! Lori 293/195/135

Hi Lori! Thank YOU! It just goes to show you- how easily we are effected by things. When you are counting and paying attention- no results. When you forget for a few days and get busy with other things- and come back to it- Voila!- it . GO FIGURE! All I could figure out is that I had been eating little meals here & there- and my son away- I ate what seemed like more carbs and I've started drinking White Wine Spritzers with lemon- when Im out for the night- kind of thing..My girlfriend also postop ( went from 248 to 128) thinks that sometimes- your metabolism just needs other things- to kick start it- rather than the 'regular' good foods I always eat..so thats what I think did it..I don't care how I get there..but I'll be IN ONEDERLAND SOON..SAVE ME A SEAT!! Thanks again..I'm really excited NOW!! hugs Donna

Hi Donna, Congrats on the scale moving the right direction. Sounds like you had a nice time over the weekend. And I think you may be right about the carb think. Back in March I went out with some friends and had 2 fatting drinks and the next morning the scale had dropped 3 pounds over night. I still can't figure out what happen but I'm OK with it. Enjoy this new season of life and be happy. Take care Carolyn

Happy Surgiversary to you !!!!! Great job and here's to many more lbs lost
