Miss You Guys!

Hey you guys - I had a few minutes between reading chapters and being Mom and I wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. New faces on the board and lots of progress I see! I weighed on Friday and have lost a grand total of 75 lbs! I was so excited. I'm still walking everyday, making sure to get my protein and eating sensibly. I have people call me "skinny" all the time now - which really cracks me up because I'm still over 200 lbs! But, I'm more than half way to my goal of 120 lbs to lose. Only 55 more - it still seems really weird. I'm glad that everyone is doing well and are still here to help when needed. I love knowing that I can come here and have instant support. You are all awesome! Take care - I'll check in again soon. AT

Hey Miss Angie, Soooo nice to see your smiling face this morning!  You're doing so well on your journey, doesn't seem all that long ago that you were just hitting "the bench".  There are so many new people here it's nice to see one of the old gang, so to speak. Some have gone MIA, I see some on other forums, but not here. Don't know what that's all about. Yep, the comments along the road are interesting. It starts out with "are you losing weight" then moves to  "gee, you've lost weight", then comes the "hey, skinny" phase.  I'm currently at the "you aren't going to lose any more, are you?  You need to eat something" stage.  Sometimes  I think they're right!  I'm down to 130lbs, and bought size 4 pants the other day. The more I eat, the more I lose. Losing has been the easy part, maintaining is tough! Please keep us posted whenever you can.  We miss you! Enjoy your day off

Hi Angie.  Congrats on losing 75lbs already!! I check in everyday, even though I don't post too much. 

Im here everyday also...I dont post everyday But I do read! today started out good and turned into a 4 hour foamies ordeal.....I would rather have tossed my cookies than feel like that. I dont think it was over eating so much as what I had...some tuna salad...it doesnt move in the pouch...no more of that for me and we have so much left over because I made a big batch.   well Im very glad that doesnt happen often....I had it happen once with tomato soup...drank to fast. but I guess its all a learning thing.  cant say Ive lost any weight as it seems each scale I get on is different so I just plod on. trying to drink my protien in the am...may have to switch to the soy milk to mix it with because I think it has to much sugar mixed with the milk...some days I have issues and other days I do not.  now that the weather has cooled down I am going to start walking...I have to get me some shoes to wear. all I have are slip ons....like crocs. so I need some new Tennis shoes.  anyone have trouble with pain? I have pain under my ribcage at surgery site...like pulling especially when I bend over...any ideas?  still trying to get into my jeans......about an inch more and they will be on and wearable! hoooray! congrats on the 75 pounds that is so awesome! nutti

 

I come and go...dont have much to say. I post on other boards because sometimes they have the info I need. Nothing personal.  I am at a stage where I am regaining....my own fault. Dealing with it in my own ways. I am here tho and doing ok. hope this finds everyone healthy happy and a loser...... hugs tam

Angie, You go, you skinny thing you!!!  Get us some new pics please!!!! 

Congrats on getting in you protein and vitamins, still something I struggle with daily.  Not so much getting them in, as much as remembering them.   Ive lost 99.5 pounds, as of last Thursday, just couldnt bring myself to weigh today in the pharmacy, was having a "i still weigh 254 pounds" day today.  Didnt wanna get on and see that I might have gained a pound.  Some days are like that, I dont feel as if I have lost a pound even though Im in a size 10-12!!! Hang in there, hope that life keeps treating everyone well. Hugs, Rhonda
