Weigh In!

Hi everyone. I got a new scale as a housewarming/birthday/Christmas gift and have decided to make Thursday mornings (no kids cuz they're with daddy) weigh in days and because I had my surgery on a Thursday... so, last week I was at 257 using this new scale, today, I hopped on and viola, I am down to 252... I've lost 90 lbs since Sept 1, I'm almost to the century mark and I only have 72.2 lbs left until goal, I've made it past the halfway point! Here are the stats if you need them or want them! Love you all, hoping to get a lot of work done at the apartment this week/weekend so that I'll be able to hook up my computer and have internet access regularly again! HUGS! Rachel Weight: 252.5 Surgery Day: 342.2 Highest: 365 BMI: 39.5 53.6 57.2 Lost Since Surgery: 89.7 Total Lost: 112.5 22.8

Hey Rachel, I was begining to worry about you. How did the move go? Hopefully smoothly. And how is work? Glad to hear about the big weight loss. I am still losing slow and steady- guess that is better than not at all. Moving is always a good time to lose weight you are stressing out from the move and all the lifting and bending and especially if you have stairs to climb. Let me know how everything is going now that you can hook up your computer. Christine

Hey Christine, The move is still in progress, we just moved the last of the boxes to the apartment last night, and by we I mean me and the new love of my life LOL... he's wonderful, knows I have a hernia and won't let me lift anything heavier than a box of hangers! I'm frustrated, and flatter that he cares so much already, we only met on New Years Eve at a party! Anyway, computer isn't hooked up yet, not sure what all I need to do for that because I have to get the cable hooked up at home still. I just know I have a ton of work to do there and if the computer isn't hooked up I can't be tempted to use the internet instead of unpacking... at least, that's the working theory! HUGS Rachel

Rachel, Sounds like you have found yourself a real keeper there. He seems like a really nice guy. My love life is kind of like my pant size- keeps getting smaller. I have heard alot about how marriages break up after WLS, just didn't figure it wouldhappen to me. Maybe I am just jumping the gun, my things have been pretty stressed with my dh. You would think we wouldn't have anything to fight about since he is in Georgia for 5 weeks. Not so. I hate moving- you are probably right about the computer. I know I am on this thing way too much. I should be finding more creative thngs to do during the day than check out my e-mail 63 times. How do the kids like the new apartment? Are they getting used to it yet? Let me know when you are more settled so we can get caught up on what things. Hugs, Christine

You look FABULOUS!!! You can definetely tell!!! To be honest, I'm a little jealous....shame on me... Can't wait to get close to Century mark...How tall are you? I'm 5'6" Tanya 349/358/**281**/185

Thanks Tanya! I'm about 5'7 to 5'8, depending on who checks my height and if they're shorter than me and looking up at the tape measure or down at it LOL Jealousy can be good, makes you work harder, I have build in exercise equiptmen everywhere I go... 3 small children... they work wonders on those trouble spots! LOL HUGS! Rachel PS those pictures were taken about 20 lbs ago.
