Weekly Weigh In week of 10/22

Hey Shawn! Thanks!!!! whoooo hoooo another pound for you! how was the shower? I am sure your boss will be understanding ... you need to focus and not **** OFF that pouchy! ha ha ha hugs, Britt

Thanks Britt!!!! It always brightens my day when I get a response from you... The shower turned out wonderful... I didn't have as much to do with it as I thought I would, but all worked out well and they got a lot of nice gifts as well.. She was a bit elaborate with her gift registry, but most people were sensible and got her practical gifts and things that they would actually NEED... I sure do hope my boss understands.. She knows about my surgery, but I am just worried about seeming so "needy" with all the time I need off for my son's wedding and stuff associated with it... I HATE being a whinner... I think I would rather **** off my boss than my pouch though... it has been rough this past week... HUGS, Shawn M.

Awww thanks Shawn Glad the shower turned out nicely and that they got useful gifts ... Hey - YOU are important! It's all in the presentation. Be confident and explain that you NEED to take a quick 5 / 10 minute break to eat a small snack. hugs, Britt

Britt, I talked to my boss today and told her all I needed was a couple of minutes to eat a peanut butter cracker or a cheese stick and she said "no problem", so I was worried about nothing... it all worked out.. I just felt bad about asking for that with all the time I am needing off with the wedding, shower and other appointments and stuff..... But I was relieved that she was able to work with me.... Just thought I would let you know.... Thanks again for the positive vibes you send to all of us every day.... Shawn M.

yippeeeeee ahhhh you can rest easy now hugs, Britt

Hey Britt, glad to hear you had such a good time! We missed you last week. This has been a big week for me as you all know. I had my appt. with my new surgeon who accepted me, no problem. I have a revision surgery scheduled for Nov. 14, the day before my one year surgiversary. I lost quite a bit this week, down to my new low of 93. I'm up to 94 today. Trying so hard to maintain for my surgery. Starting weight 202 Last week = 97 This week = 94 Loss this week = 3 Total loss = 108 Current BMI = 16

Kim I missed you all too! I am so happy to hear that you have a surgery date planned - sounds like great news - you will continue to be in my prayers! hugs & gaining thoughts for you, Britt

Hey Britt, Welcome back. glad you had a great time. Starting weight 349 Last week = 196.6 This week = 195 Loss this week = 1.6 Total loss = 154 I participated in my first Walk From Obesity here in Baltimore this past Saturday. I was able to walk most of the 3 miles. I quit at 2 and a half because my knees were getting stiff and didn't want to pu**** but they weren't hurting and I wasn't even breathing hard. I was pretty proud of myself. My team raised the most money, and had the most participants. They''re a pretty good group. Phyllis

Hi Phyliss, Congrats on your 3 miles bravo!!!!! good 1.6 week to hugs, Britt

Britt, I am so glad that you had fun at Disneyworld!!!! I wouldn't worry too much about 3 lbs. It is most likely water weight. Way to go on the exercising will on vacation. That is definite dedication! My stats for the week: Start weight:268 Last week: 154 This week: 152 Loss this week: 2 So I lost the last 2 of what I gained during my hormonal time which lasted for almost 2 1/2 weeks off and on. I just hope it doesn't make a repeat performance this month. I have a test scheduled this week to check things out so I will either get some answers or at least know that nothing is wrong. Everyone have a terrific week!!!! Hugs, Kim
