Changed my ticker to reflect....

what my scale at home says.  The last time I was weighed at the Dr's office before surgery was almost 6 weeks before....I weighed myself the morning of on my scale here at home at it said I was 280....so I decided that it made me realize that my true weight loss is more than what the Dr's notes say...LOL

Does this make sense?   I am excited because I felt like I was never going to get below the 240 mark and this morning I was 239.8... I'll take it!!  ha ha ha...pathetic I know! 

That's great Monica.  You are on your way girl.  Keep it up!  Christina

I do not like my surgeon's scale, as it says that I way about 5 lbs more than my scale at home.  So, to keep me happy I use the weight my scale says.  Besides when I am at the surgeons office, I am fully clothed, I have eaten something, and I have drank some water.  So IMO, that makes the 5 lb difference.  Now that is pathetic. Keep up the good work Monica!!!!

It doesn't really matter which scale you use, as long as you stay consistent. I have you ALL beat.......my surgeon's scale adds 7-8 pounds above my home scale, and the hematologist's scale (who is also in Madison) read 8 pounds higher too.   Darn Cheeseheads! Needless to say, I go by my home scale that has said basically the same thing since last August, but at least it is less than what theirs say!  

Weigh to go Monica! (pun intended) Congratulations!

I went to my surgon in March and it was like 4pm and I gained 6 pounds from my house to his office...It is 198 miles away !!! LOL Alot can happen in that distance...So this time when I go up I have vowed to eat very lite and have only water until after 5pm... Then I get a special drink for the GI test!! Lucky me!!! I have only lost 6 pounds since March so we will see how that all goes!

Monica I know what ya mean I wanted to see 189 for 3 months  now I might just make it I hit 190.8 this morning!!! I have struggles with the same 6 to 7 pounds for weeks. It goes down then back up..

So go ahead you deserve to be Pathetic!!
