Wednesday Weigh-in...

Hi, Everyone! I am starting the Weigh-in (Melissa is WORKING whatever is LEFT of her BOTTOM off) Just wanted to mention how impressive our Adding Up total has grown. 3,458 LB and counting! We'll have to give the remaining Dec Babes until the end of the month... That also allows for YOUR additional April weight LOSS to be added to the total. Just edit the ADDITIONAL amount LOST by the last day of April. (If you had a slight gain... keep your best loss... that's already posted... YOU EARNED IT!!!) After April's total's are in, Steve has graciously offered to make a comparison post for us.... WooHooo!!!! Gotta Love It!!! Congrats to Brat Girl (aka Rachel), *****cently had a fantastic 12 LB loss! Momma Molly is taking care of her adorable kitties!!! Shawn... is finding out the joys of a GIRL over BOYS!!! Actually, she's probably doing Double Duty Plus (((Big Hug))) It seems that the Group has discovered some YUMMY snacks lately (Drool!) and that LIFE still has bumps (although some DH were wishing for ...'n' grinds) LOL The MB has been really "slow" lately!!!! So instead of a question of the week, I'd like for the Dec. Babes to post... about anything... to liven things-up! Best to All... Ro HW: 332 SW: 274 LW: 133 CW: 130

Ro, thanks for the summary!! I am so happy to report that I have been able to maintain my weight at 177 and I WOULD LOVE for it to be like that FOREVER AND EVER. However, I am just curious as why this board has gone so quiet during the past few days or maybe weeks? I sure hope each one of us is very busy enjoying life instead of having really difficult times. I am enjoying life to the fullest but I still find plenty of time to come over and read most post and sometimes post something. And now that school is over, I plan to come here most often so please, let's keep the flame alive--

Bea, Yeah! for the 177!!! Forever & Ever... I'm hoping that our MB isn't "ending" like so many of the board of past years. Just take a peek to see how many older monthly boards are active; not that many. Some people seem to visit the Grad MB after their month boards have gone "cold". I would think that sharing the stresses that come after the weight loss would keep this board going, but.... so far it has been pretty quiet. Sad. We need CPR! Ro

HI RO!!! I noticed it too, nobody is around. I know we all get busy though. I do love all of you and hope we stay active. Yesterday was my last day at my full time job, I still have my part time but taking may off to recover. Now I have to find another full time job. I will be missing for a good part of next week so I can recover from my PS. HW: 280 SW: 276 LW: 162 CW: 164 started today so bloated like anything, yuch, but I wanted to get it before my surgery. So in a way it's a good thing. Hugs to all and I miss you guys!!!

Hi, Erin... Getting Ready for the Big Day... April 28th!!!! Any ? How about an update!!! You'll DO great!!! Ro PS: Have you increased your protein level to help with the healing?

Adding Up.... I like Nancy H's "Better Late than Never" addition of 154 LB lost! So far our December MB has reduced by 3612 LB! Ro

Just passing this X-post along about weight goals... http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/rny/a,messageboard/action,replies/board_id,5465/cat_id,5 065/topic_id,3596017/ I'm trying to get back to 135 LB. My Nut's goal was 150 +/- prior to any PS. He's recalculated it a bit lower, since my Body Fat is in mid-normal range. Now that I'm "below" goal, I am doubting that it is actually a good thing after all. Ro
