Hey Tammy,
Glad you're doing okay, if busy as all get out. Have you tried putting BeneFiber into your water? I put about a tbsp into a liter bottle or the one smaller and it helps a lot. To me it seems a little less artificial than taking a pill, which for whatever reason is something I don't like to do anymore. By the way... glad you're not in snow yet!

Thanks Deb!!!
All you have to do is send in a before and after pic once you have lost 100lbs. I am not sure how long it takes because I didn't even know mine had been posted until I went looking for it! But I found it and love it.
Good Luck!

Thanks Chris! I am sitting here amazed at your progress! Whoo hoo! I have been on the worse stall! I was sitting at 163-165 for almost 2 months! But dropped down to 158 this morning. I am crossing my fingers that I stay here and don't go back above 160. I want to get down to at least 140. I have a plastics consult next month. I will be self pay also. Do you have pics of your tummy that you would share with me? I am trying to decide on an extended tummy tuck or a lower body lift. The LBL sounds so scary to me!!
Take care
Lori
Topic: RE: Summary of PS Consult
Congrats on taking the next step in this weight loss journey!! I was hoping to not have any plastics as well, but the apron was just too awful! I had the abdominoplasty a little over 2 weeks ago and am so happy that I did! What a joy to have that hanging thing gone! The rest of me has firmed up pretty good, but I guess those ole abdominal muscles were shot after 2 kids, 3 surgeries and lots of over eating !
My insurance has an exclusion against any plastic surgery, so I had to pay out of pocket, but it was well worth it!
You will be so happy you had this! Good luck and I hope insurance covers some of these procedures for you!

Hey there Lori
No snow here YET....THANK GOD.... I'm about 3 or so hours North of Buffalo where they got almost 2 feet of snow... Poor things. They're so many without power. Definately am not ready for that yet. It has been pretty cold here today. In the 40's. BRRRRR..... Going up to Massena to see family this weekend & to take my best friend to a Day Spa tomorrow. Gonna get facials done. I've never had one. Should be fun.
Have a great weekend
&
Tam

Hi Sherry
Great to hear from you. I totally agree with you. It's all about choices now. I find myself slipping every now & again, but for the most part I stick to the plan. I've been so busy that the exercise is slacking. Soccer is almost done & things will hopefully calm down a little bit. I know, I am always the first one to say....MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF...& look at me now. Running myself ragged. The overtime for work has increased, but love the money. We're going to Wisconsin in a few weeks to visit my husbands family so the overtime is contributing well. Weight wise

I just heard about the 2 feet of snow in NY! Holy cow!! Are any of you New Yorkers snowed in???

Hello Ms. Sherry!!! Good to hear from you!
I feel like you are telling my story. Lately, my appetite has been way bigger. I find myself wanting to eat every couple of hours or less! I try and pick the best possible things but don't always make the right choices. And my scale had told me that I needed to do something else. I had been stagnet at 163 lbs for probably close to 2 months. Maybe not that long but it sure felt like it. This morning I weighed in at 158! But I doubt I will stay there long. Seems like I keep gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. I did up my water intake and have tried to keep my snacking down lately. Hopefully something will kickstart this weightloss.
I have a plastics consult next month. I wanted to be down to 150 before I did it but doesn't look like I will make that by Nov 9th. Not unless a miracle happens!
I do need to get my arse back out walking or something. I have been so lazy about that. I did do a yoga ab workout and and arm workout on Saturday morning. I felt it for days! I need to do that more often!
Anyhoo... take care and keep in touch!
Lori
PS I started out at 281lbs, wearing a size 22-24 tight. I now weigh 158 and wear anywhere from a size 6 Levis, stretch of course to a 10.
