CENTURIAN
Well tonight marked another milestone for me. When I stepped on the scale at the C.A.M( Center for Athletic Medicine~Henry Ford Hospital) tonight I thought I would lose a pound or two, because that's what I've done for the last 3 or 4 week's. Was I ever surprised when it said I lost 6 pound's. That put me at 212, which means I have lost 100#'s post-op. Plus 67 pound's pre-op for a total of 167#'s. I am very happy tonight. I never thought this would/could happen so fast (just over 5 1/2 months). I can't wait to see what the next 6 months will bring.
To think I was so worried that I may gain it back, cause I was taking in so many more calories (and carbs). I guess It helped to get more in. I will be carefull not to get to many in, But I guess 700 isn't all that many,it just feel's like it's a lot.
God bless you all,
Annette
Congrats Annette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You've had amazing success with your weight loss. Keep up the great work.
and you're right 700 cals seems like a lot of food, but it's really not. I've had to keep uping my calories and every time I up them i think I'm going to burst with all the extra food. But I don't. And I'm holding my weight at my 130 goal now so I guess I'm doing good. You don't even want to know how many cals it takes for me to maintain this though!!! It doesn't make much sense, eat more to loose weight, then when you're at goal it's eat more to NOT loose weight. 
But somehow it does work.
Hugs,
Laurie 
on your progress!
Hugzzz,
Pam Hi Pam,
Thank you. People tell me I'm looking goo d. When I look in the mirror I just don't see it, But when I look at the pictures I can. I don't think I'm going to disapear just yet. I still have away's to go lol. Hey it's spring~How's the mud wrestling pit out in your yard comming along this year? I might just wrestle this time instead of selling the tickets and water. LOL
God bless you,
Annette
I know, it goes so quick but while waiting for those pounds to melt off - it seems like forever.
As for yesterday, a witness didn't show (neither did the birth dad) and while all other testimony was presented without the two of them (and they'll continue without the dad present), we have to go back today to hear from the last witness.
The birth mom was very honest and took responsibility for the mess she's made. She even said that she doesn't know if returning him to her is in HIS best interest. She of course wants him back but admitted that she needs a LOT of support to stay sober & clean and when asked she admitted she's not been so in 23 years. Nor has she been able to stay away from the dad for more than 6 months in 13 years.
She's determined to not let any decision train wreck her recovery and I applaud her for that. I can see the judge giving her 3 more months - at the same time, if he looks at the child's best interest, when you're 5 - and you've been in placement for 1.5 years already, another 3 months is a life time to a small kiddo.
I'll update when I know, but thank you so much again for your prayers.
