Weekly Weigh In week of 12/3

Great job, Phyllis! When you are shopping for others, do you come home with more stuff for you than for them? I'm going crazy shopping for clothing! I can't stay out of the stores! CeCe

Guilty as charged. I just can't seem to stop myself, but I have cut myself off for now. I told everyone to get me clothes or gift cards for Christmas, so I can stop spending my own money. Phyllis

Britt - Love the hair. It looks so sassy. I hate those food monster weeks - I don't think I can ever eat enough on those weeks. Yuck. Luckily I don't do have the food monster every month. I am doing Ok with food right now. Exercise is not doing so well - but working, getting ready for surgery, being a mom... I'll get back exercising at the gym soon though. My doctor wanted me to stop at 190-195 I am currently fluctuating daily between 186-188. I know that some will be taken off with the PS. I mean I started at 358 - I have some skin baby! But I think he is going to want me to maintain between 165-170 - - I will do what he says but I wanted to get to that 158!!! I am not a petite woman - I mean I wear a size 11 shoes - there is 20 pounds of feet down there! CeCe - Love the red coat - You are right I think we might all need one. I did buy me a hot pink casual coat w/ lime green scarf,hat and gloves. It is really cute. It totally lacks the sophistication of the Red though. Love ya'll Trudy

Trudy, Thanks for commenting on my new doo! you have done amazingly - your doc - must be thrilled 20 pounds of feet you are adorable Post a picture of your cute lil coat! hugs, Britt

Hello Everyone, I have been bouncing back and forth since my gallbladder surgery, lot of it was the fluids, anyway I have also excepted Wanda's challenge, I think I am on the right road again, hopefully. I have past my surgeon's goal of 150, have gotten all the way down to 138 but back up again to a 143 and down again to 140. 260 before surgery 43.2 BMI 255 day of surgery 140 last weigh in 140 this week (I will take it) 120 total lose 115 since surgery 23.2 bmi I am normal at last. Could not of been normal weight or BMI without all of you and WLS but most of all MY LORD JESUS CHRIST, without Him we are all lost, with Him we are all winners. Blessings chrisy
