Monday weigh in......oops it's already Tuesday

Hi everyone, 

I hope everyone had a great long weekend.  Back to school today for all the kids and another exciting new year for us.  We are all on our second year now so our focus might still be to lose a little or to maintain the losses we have already made.  It's getting a little more difficult for me now and I'm sure I'm not alone.  Keeping up these new habits is going to be difficult.....the work comes now.
 
So far I am maintaining.   I am at goal (150) and was 148 this week.  I will be happy if I can stay between 148-152 this year so that is my target for the year.

How is everyone else doing?  Does any one have any tips for me on keeping up the good habits....all would be appreciated.

Have a great week everyone.
Fran

Hey Fran,
Still at 160, and holding. I may take Brenda's advice and get some help, tried to do it my way ( not working). I still have not gained though, even through the big family gathering up north. Lots of sweets and junk too.
I am so glad Kathleen is back, can't wait until she gets to post her new weight.
Thanks all for being here!

Love ya all!

Hi my friends.  Tryin to move around a lil bit this morning...been 8 days since surgery, so I am trying to do a lil bit more each day.  So far, so good.  I am not really swollen very much and have two drains that are working really really well.  I go see the Dr. tomorrow.  Hopefully he will take them out.    My hubby does not want me to post pix of my anatomy on here lol.  The skin the Dr. took off was about 5 lbs. but the circumferance was really large.  Looked like a skirt kind of lol.  This morning I weigh 122 which is suprising to me.  I really have just been on liquids too...I am too afraid to throw up with all these stitches and staples everywhere.  I have yet to poop in seven days now, but I guess since I have been on liquids that is why.    Hubby has been SUCH a blessing to me.  I just do not know what I would have done without him.  He leaves Sept. 15 so I am trying really really hard to get stronger every day so I can show him I will be ok when he leaves.  I am on antibiotics, antifungals, ulcer meds, pain meds, you name it lol.  I spend my day taking the next medicine, but hopefully in the end it will pay off.  I am glad to see everyone doing well.  Missed you all.    Thanks for the prayers.  I will check in later.  MUCH LOVE!!

Kathleen, 
So glad to hear from you and that you are feeling a little bit better.  Can't wait to see the new pics even if we don't get to see the anatomy lol.  Make sure you do something soon about the constipation. 
Talk to you soon.
Fran

I had a bowel impaction last night.  It was the most terrible thing I have ever experienced.  I am frightened now, Fran.  I am scared to take meds. sure do not want it to happen again.  Thanks for your concern.  Love K

Kathleen,
Are you ok???
What did you do to help yourself? OHHH, I wish one of us lived near you to help.
Please let us know how you are doing.
Hugs to you
Tara
