HELLO 6 ER'S....

WELL HERE IT IS ANOTHER WEEK... SOME OF YOU ARE SLACKING OFF CHECKING IN... DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD STOP THIS THREAD? LET ME KNOW... WELL MY WEEK WAS THE BEST IT COULD BE WE WERE OUT OF TOWN FOR 4 DAYS DUE TO THE DEATH OF MY DH SISTER... NOW THAT WAS TOUGH ONE TO BE EATING OUT ALL THAT TIME... I DID WIND UP EATING TO MANY CARBS... AND WHEN I CAME HOME I HAD WEIGHED MY SELF AND HAD GAINED A POUND... I TOLD MY HUSBAND IT WAS A POUND OF STRESS FROM THE WEEK... HE SMILED AND AGREED... AND OF COURSE I REALLY DIDN'T GET ANY EXERCISE... BU****CH OUT WORLD... HERE I COME.... I AM BACK ON TRACK TODAY... I WILL HAVE MY CARBS BACK DOWN TO BETWEEN 20 AND 25 THIS WEEK... AND HOPEFULLY I WILL SAY NEXT WEEK I LOST A POUND OR TWO... WHAT ABOUT YOU? HOW HAVE YOU BEEN DOING...? DID YOU HIT THE GOAL YOU HAD SET FOR 3 MONTHS... I SURE HOPE SO.. BONBON

Sorry about your loss. I have had a head cold and feeling not super great. Today I am better and went to the gym for a workout. I am down to 276 and loving it. I had been at a plateau and it finally broke. My clothes are really hanging off me and I have a few items in smaller sizes that I have begun to bring out. I have been MO for so long that I had gotten rid of my smaller clothes, never thinking I could lose this much weight and keep it off. I am also stepping out of my shoes, so I got some new ones from my favorite store, Zappos.com. I got a really short stylish hair cut and feel younger with it. Maryann and I are all set for the OH Convention in NJ in May. Very excited to know we are going and that we are going to meet so many of our wonderful new friends from OH. Can you go BON BON? Hope so. Take care, Monica

Monica did you give me this cold? ... I am also fighting this cold. My throat really hurts and I'm coughin as if I were a smoker . I'm eating strawberries to get that Vitamin C. Seems to be making me feel a bit better.

OH GRACIE... I SURE HOPE YOU START FEELING BETTER SOON... I HOPE THOSE STRAWBERRIES HELP... AT LEAST THEY TASTE GOOD RIGHT! BONBON

WAY TO GO MONICA.... SURE SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING AWSOME!! GLAD YOU ARE OFF PLATEAU... I AM ON ONE NOW... CAN'T WAIT TILL IT IS OVER... I DON'T THINK I WILL MAKE IT THIS TIME TO CONVENTION... I HAD WANTED TO... BUT WE ARE GONNA DO SOME FAMILY TIME INSTEAD. (UNDER THE CIR****TANCES) BUT EVERYONE THAT CAN GO SHOULD IT WILL BE AN AWSOME TIME TO MEET EVERYONE!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MONICA.... BONBON

Hello Bon Bon. We'll I have a legitimate excuse I didn't know about this board But It's good to see other surgery twins . My sickness has made me slack a bit off the treadmill. But I'm on it, full force. And I need to stay away from Cashews .. They are good protein but very high in fat and I keep on snacking on them at work . I'm gonna do better, I'm gonna do better!

Hi all, My week was spent nursing this cold I have. But with a lot of support from all you all here I finally broke free of the plateau I was on too. Who would believe that exercising requires more calories and protein. I've lost 52 pounds since surgery and 61 pounds before surgery. I still have 87 pounds to go before I reach my goal. Everyone have a happy positive week! Mary Salmon
