OMG! You are all so skinny!

Wow!  I haven't been active on the boards much lately, and I'm so impressed with everyone!  Everyone's avatars are shrinking!  Bravo!

Things have been going well with my new life in Monterey!  My job is good, very different from my old job, but I like it and I've made some new friends.  Living on the peninsula is great, it's so cool to be able to go to the beach in just a few minutes.

I'm doing OK with my weight loss, have been going through a bit of a plateau, but have been losing slowly but surely.  I decided to rejoin Weigh****chers a few weeks ago; it's something I did off and on before surgery, and although it's definitely nothing compared to gastric bypass, it helps me with accountability.  Just knowing that I have to go and weigh once a week keeps me on track.  I've been trying to stay away from carbs (yes Lynn, I'm trying!), but after that first six months without carbs ended, I've SO enjoyed eating carbs again!  I'm watching my calories and focusing on protein, and the nutritionist I work with (who is also the facilitator of the WLS support group here, how cool is that?) says I'm doing well, so I guess I'm doing OK.

I'm so excited that my dear friend Lori has been approved for surgery!  And has already lost 71 pounds!  Dang girl, you are going to show up for your surgery and be too skinny to have it!  You are looking even more beautiful than you did before!  I am so excited to be your angel, I promise I will do a good job!

Mary Louise, you are officially skinnier than me, and by a bigger margin than ever!  3 whole BMI points!  I am going to have to do something more than this dang old treadmill!  I am so happy for you!  Jealous, but happy!

OK, I'm off to read and respond to as many posts as possible, can't wait to see what's going on with everyone!  Love you guys!

 

Congratulations on how well you have done so far. Sue

Miss ya too!! Take "all" your Vitamins  sweetie

Hi DeAnna!

Hey Julia!  I miss you so much, too!  I think about you and your daughter often, how are you?  You are looking wonderful!  As I was first glancing at everyone's avatars last night, I had this moment when I looked at yours, thinking, "I know her, but I just can't place her...", then I realized it was you!  You look amazing!  You have lost so much weight!

Hey, did you watch "My Life on the D List" this season?  It was pretty funny!  Was the show in Tracy the one that you went to?  I'm so jealous!

Miss you!

Thank you DeAnna! Yes that Tracy show was the one! I saw my hand on TV- lol... my principal was in one scene and I was standing next to her, but I am not visible....
My daughter and I are doing great. She's lost 130 and I've lost 110. She is one year out- I am 8 months. We are going to our support meeting in a few hours. It is so great to see you here! I wish you were closer, but someday maybe we can all go on a road trip to Monterey! We could get a hotel and enjoy a few days of ocean serenity!

Mary Louise what a great surprise to see you posting. I am glad to hear that things are going well for you! I think it is great that you are going to WW and holding yourself accountable. Nothing wrong with tha****ch those carbs girl they are evil for sure! Keep on working it!!!  

LOL!  Well thank you, although I'm actually DeAnna!    Mary Louise is my much skinnier friend, that I have to try to catch up with!

You are looking great, love your avatar!
