Sunday

Good morning all!

Whew! It's Sunday already??? I sure am not ready for tomorrow to be Monday already! Today I'm going to be kinda lazy. I have some shows to watch from the season openers last week. I think I'll do that while I'm playing on Facebook.

We had dinner at CiCi's with the kids last night to celebrate Shyanne's 4th birthday. I thought it was pretty cool that while she was opening her gifts, the manager there played the Happy Birthday song twice to her over the stores PA system. The whole restaurant was singing Happy Birthday to her along with it! LOL! I think she got more excited over that than her gifts! LOL! So...if you have a birthday party there for a child, ask the manager to do that for you. He offered to do it for us...we didn't know they could/would. I like CiCi's better for our gang than Chuckie Cheese...cheaper and they still have the gameroom (not as big...but also not as crowded)....and a variety of pizza's. They have a pretty decent salad bar too.

Welcome to all the newbie's on the board!

Congrats to all the approvals, surgery dates set, and new post-ops!

Sounds like a plan we are always wanting to take the girls somewhere different and Madison is scared to death of Chucke...

I went to my 35 class reunion last night... Man I went to school dwith OLD people....and I heard a few of them had had WLS and one... just died fat...being overweight killed her...I got flirted with bigtime...made me feel good.

Today i am going to church then back home to change into work clothes.. working until 10 tonight.. Praying I get that state job I interviewd for on Thur... wont hear for up to a month..

Sweetie - it's normal.  Your body needs time to catch up to itself.  Stalls are common.  You'll wake up one morning and be down 3-5 pounds, you'll see.

Depression is also common - we've made a break with our lifelong friend, food.  It'll turn around.

Don't be so hard on yourself darlin' - you're only 2 weeks out.  The first 4-6 weeks are the hardest, I think.  You're doing good.  Try to get out with some friends - that may help.

Yeah a day of total rest, Yesterday I did a half marathon in Fort Wayne and am really tired today. We also took a grandson to Cici's last night for supper. He had a football game and then needed to eat. I did eat the tops off of 5 slices of pizza and not the crust. I ate a larger salad but not really sure I got any protein choices in. The salad bar where we went did not have any of the following, eggs, cheese, or cottage cheese. I did indulge in 1/2 of one of their cinnamon rolls and a small sliver/slice of the apple desert pizza, crust and all.

Pammie, I think you should at least get dressed and go out for a walk. I have been in a long stall for such a long time, but I am at a goal weight that everyone else thinks I should be at but near a goal weight where I want to be. Two weeks ago I really wated everthing I put in my mouth journaled everything and lost 2 pounds , was then 142.6 (I want to lose to reach 130) today I gained back 1 pound making me 143.6. I still journaled made sure I had at a minimum of 90 grams protein, 100 ounces of liquids and really increased my exercise output (trying to get ready for this half marathon) so go figure, it is not really working for me at the present time. I have been between 140 - 144.8 for the last 9 - 10 months. I am doing okay for maintaining just can't lose the last 12 pounds that I want to lose. I just don't know what the answer is either. But I do know in the beginning you will have weeks (and more weeks) where you do everything right and it just doesn't drop but it will JUST KEEP THE FAITH!!!
