Proud to be in the “Before and After photo section in OH Magazine. (September/October 2009) and in the May 2010 issue of 417 Magazine (Losing it)
starting weight: 292
Today: 146 up one pound :-(
Goal 142 with a range up to 147
I did pretty good with Halloween but it's never been a huge issue for me so I can't really claim that as a victory :-) It was that time of the month for me though and I didn't do great at the beginning of the week. This is the first time in probably 10 years that I've had a "normal" period. As in I am not taking any birth control so hormones just got to do what they wanted. I think they went a little bonkers with the freedom :-) ...plus with the blood thinners it was just not a fun week!!!
My goal this week...take all of my vitamins, track my food.
Brit, I have a question for you about your low blood sugar thing...what type of symptoms do you have when this happens? I've been getting the shakes, overheating, feeling almost drunk, my heart racing and typically if I eat fruit or something with sugar it goes away quickly. I've had this in the past but typcially just get the shakes and heart racing...the overheating and "drunk" feeling is new and a little scary...I'm going to call my anticoagulation clinic and ask them if the blood thinners would maybe be causing this but I thought I'd see if you have similar symptoms?
Thanks

Starting BMI * 40.5
Current weight * 144
plus or minus * same
Current BMI * 22.6
Goal weight * 142
personal acceptable range * 142-147
Loss to date * 106.5 pounds!!! So tell us how was your week? How did you handle Halloween? Did you take your vitamins and supplements? Did you drink *all* of your water? Did you exercise? Did you log your intake? Have any NSV’s (non scale victories) you want to share? Have any challenges?
My water is still slacking. I am determined to get back to my gallon a day, everyday! Halloween was challenging *again* for me this year which is very frustrating, I am 2 years post op and *still* cannot have just 1 piece of candy. Grrrrrrr Nope, I had way more than 1 piece. This Thursday I go for my 2 year post op visit with my surgeon, it actually falls on my two year SURGIVERSARY. I am planning on blogging in my profile after the visit – to update my journey.
I hope you all have a fantastic week.
Hugs,
Britt

This is what I do (I am not sure if there is an easier way?)
If anyone else knows an easier way please share.
I use www.photobucket.com and upload the pictures that I want to use, once you upload, view the picture you want in photobucket and copy the HTML code, then in (obesityhelps) post click on the insert / edit link button (up top near the smiley face) Paste the code (you may have to erase the "http://" part of the code once you paste it) to add another picture repeat the steps and then hit *submit* once it's live you can see your pictures.
If the pictures is too big
go to edit
right click on the picture
go to photo properties
choose 265 for the width it will make the photo smaller,you may have to play with this to find the right size.
I hope this helps!

Glad to hear from you. I have reactive hypoglycemia also. My sugars go low on occasion too - 35 - I have had it since August 2007. I test myself when i think I am going low and I do pretty good controlling it with my diet. From what I've read its pretty common after WLS.
I know when i am going low and usually eat fruit snacks. or have a glass of milk or take a sugar tablet (s) to get my sugar back up.
Keep it in check and watch what you eat - sometimes I have NO clue why i go low???
hugs,
Britt

Hang in there! You can do this. First CONGRATS for being consistent with your EXERCISE PLAN - that is a biggie. I know what you are going through been there many times (sadly) It is so hard to get over the hump.
I had a bad eating day yesterday .... its that time of the month - I feel like a bottomless pit right before - UGH (plus i was 11 days late - so i felt very bloated)
Take it 1 day at a time - you are doing great - think about the big picture you are coming up on two years - shoot for the stars!
no haven't heard from CeCe - I been thinking about her too :o)
hugs,
Britt
