It's Whacky Weigh In Wednesday!!!

My girls and I were watching home movies yesterday. In 2003, I was on Optifast and lost 100 lbs. The girls were marveling how good I looked on video. However, The very next vids showed me much heavier as I put the lbs back on. I asked them if I was heavier then or now and they didn't know. I realized I still had those pants in the closet. They were a size 20 and I haven't worn them since 2005. I was pushing a 28 before surgery and I got those pants ON and they were comfortable! Talk about a WOW moment!!

So, after my looooonnnng stall and gain, I am down 7 lbs this week. Woohoo!

Congrats on your wow moment.

Good Morning Cali!
Janine I take orders well and will be staying off the scale.  I do know that I have lost about a 1 1/2 since last Wednesday.  I have decided that I am not going to be a scale slave and I am going to think about how often I can handle weighing myself as I don't want to be disappointed like I was the other day.  I am going to focus on continuing to get all my liquid and protien in each day and not so much on the GRAND total of weight loss.
Hope everyone has a great HUMP day!

Me... 129. Was 137 originally... went down to 118 due to surgery complications and thankfully have added the much needed weight!

size 4 pant!!! gotta LOVE reconstructive skin removal! I'm still a bit swollen but hanging in there.

Goodmonring Janine and the Cali bunch!  Today I am 19 lbs. from the start.  I don't remember when I weighed before today I think it was last Friday, but I am down 6 from that day.  So I am pretty exited.  My husband says he can see it in my face.  I finally got up to 60 grams of protien yesterday afternoon!  I was so proud of myself.  Had surgery 8/1/08 and went to the mall shopping for school clothes!   I don't know if if was a bad thing but I had a grande decaf/ff/sugar free latte at the mall.  Now it did take me over 3 hours to drink it, it was wonderful!.  I was very satisfied and went to bed with a smile.  When I woke up my family said mom you look terrific this morning what did you do different?  lol.  I like the magic latte.  I think I will have it agian next week!  lol  take care and thanks for all hte love and support you gals/guys offer me.  Rhonda

Just wanted to peak my head in here for the weigh-in.  I lost 1.4 pounds this week.  It's really slowed down now, but I keep watching every thing I put in my mouth, tracking calories and protein and trying to get exercise in.

School is starting soon so I've been consumed with everything to prepare for that,  Still need to go get books, check in with the Admin Office to change a few things, etc.  If you could see my Outlook Calendar it's FILLED with all these little details of life to take care of before school starts.  I've blown off my last two personal trainers days and I really need to get there.

We had to write down 10 Hurts and Resentments with my son for our Tuesday Family meeting for my oldest son and read them last night in front of everyone.  I really didn't want to do it.  I actually sat up there shaking.  I was so afraid it would make things worse for him, but it seems to have worked out fine.  On Saturday he'll be 30 days sober.  So far so good.  These family meetings on Tuesday night take up over 4 hours though and I'm really concerned about keeping up this pace when school starts.  I'm just exhausted thinking about it all.  Ok........deep breath.........just get through today   and I'm really going to try to be better about posting. 

Anyhoo, my total weight loss is 83.8 pounds.  I have a hair appointment today and I've got to go buy a new dress today or tomorrow.  Saturday I have a huge party for my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary in Dana Point and I have nothing to wear!  So I'm off and running now.

Hope everyone everyone has a great day California!

Hi, Janine and Cali Crew -

I'm done .4 lbs this week. I went shopping at a 75% clearance sale at Mervyn's on Saturday, and bought a bunch of clothes in various sizes.  I'm solidly in a size 20 pants now - which is pretty exciting.  I'm still in a 2X top, though - I'm not losing as fast across the bust/back as I am in the butt/thigh areas!  Oh well, it'll even up eventually.  I've taken to getting my measurements taken every month, and I've lost 27" - which is pretty exciting!

Happy Bday to D.  Mine is tomorrow.  I've scheduled an appointment with the massage therapist and the psychiatrist - wonder which one I'll be enjoying more?  Oh, well, better living through Chemistry. --  Carol
