Where is the South Metro coffee this week?  I haven't been able to go in MONTHS, and am looking forward to meeting up with everyone :)

A slow week for me (still in the honeymoon phase) but I'll take it.  :)  Hoping for minus 85 next week.  Two lbs to go.


Starting/Highest Weight: 313
Day of Surgery: 300
Last Week: 230.8
Today: 230

 I understand this very well Renae!  I gained a pound this week!  I made a lot of bad choices this past week.  I am nipping this in the bud immediately.  It helps that I have my nine month check-up next month to keep me focused so i'm in good standing with my surgeon.  ;)  I also purchased my ticket for Europe so it's a done deal!  I am going on November 30th....WAHOOO!!!!  So I also need to maintain my svelt self so I can look hot for my guy in Germany that i'm traveling with.  I can't wait!!  Our itinerary keeps getting modified but for now we will be seeing Germany, Prague, Bulgaria, Austria, France and Switzerland.  

Darla Darling- Thanks! Will give them a call. If my husband wasn't switching jobs and for the fact that we will be without insurance for 3 months I would try to wait- but do not want to put it off that long and I can not make it to St Louis Park by end of month. Of course if anything looks wack I will make the trip a necessity with or without insurance- but only if need be

Thanks for both comments

Good morning!

For me it was not-so-good.  I have been eating too much and too poorly for the last week, and it really showed on the scale!  What a wake-up call--time to get the scale moving back the other way by getting back to the rules. 

Starting weight:  298.4
Last week:  137.3
This week: 140.9
This week:  GAIN of 3.6 lbs

It is absolutely my own fault, and so I'm taking ownership.  This morning I went out and ran 5 miles (which was in my training plan for today, so it wasn't a direct reaction to the scale).  But I need to get a handle on the carbs, I think.  They are creeping back into my diet and taking hold.
