I'm losing again!

OMG! I just got on the scale and I've lost 3.5 pounds in 5 days! I've kicked up my exercise and it's doing the trick. I'm now down a total of 14 pounds with 9 more to go for my doctors pre-surgery goal! YIPPPEEEE for MEEEEE!

Congratulations Lisa ! You're doing a really good job. Keep up the good work. Just don't stress yourself out about the weight-loss. I find that if you don't stress out about it it comes off easier then when you obsess about each and every pound. At least, that's the way it is with me. When I dwell too much on it, I stall but when I don't think about it (but still do everything I should) then the scale starts to move again....in the right direction. Take Care.........the loser's bench is preparing a place just for you! Anne

Thanks Anne, I'm working really hard and hate thinking about food so much. But I know it's good for me so it will become more automatic and natural. I see Corinne next Wednesday so am excited I'll show a loss.

WOW!   Another milestone reached!!   The next 9# are gonna just melt off, especially with the warmer weather we're having and your new exercise plan!  Keep up the great work!   Blessings, Yvonne

That is awesome!  I don't know what is going on with me.  I am amazed at how my weight can fluctuate day to day without going over my calories.  It makes you not want to guzzle down all tha****er---but I know I have to.  And it figures my appointment is later in the afternoon on Wednesday and has always been first thing in the morning.  I can go up a good 3 pounds throughout the day.  I am so happy to see you back losing---it gives me hope that my scale will start moving soon.  Do you have anything left to do on your list?  I see the psych tomorrow, Corrine on Wednesday.  That's it except for a lab to check my vitamin D now that they put me on that pill for 8 weeks.  I just hope this process is coming to an end.  I can not wait any longer---I am too excited to contain myself.

Hi Tanya,

All my preop stuff is done. I have my next appt. with Corinne on the 16th and I'm hoping that is it. I've really buckled down on my <1400 calories and have been exercising several days a week. Today I'm taking off because I am soooo sore. Gotta stretch out my calf muscles.

Good luck to you. Maybe we will have the same surgery day. I hope we all could. It would be like a big slumber party.
