The holidays are fast approaching--these are tough times for those of us who have been accustomed to holidays revolving around food. I still have trouble with walking away from the table, particularly the dessert table. Not doing myself any favors this year either, by taking a Disney vacation a week before Thanksgiving. So my holiday resolution is this: to savor the flavors and enjoy the company and atmosphere without overindulging. I want to taste, talk and enjoy, not binge, bloat and suffer. How about you?
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 134.8
This week: 138.8
Gain of 4.0 lbs
The gain is not unexpected: I knew last weeks' loss was due to the stomach flu, not any real loss. Still, it was nice while it lasted. I actually expect to gain weight this week, since I am carb-loading for Saturday's half-marathon race. Hopefully I will run it all off, tho. Disney World, here we come!!
Hey all: I'll keep posting the Monday morning weigh-in thread, if anyone would like to participate. You can post your weight, or not, whatever you prefer. It's just a deadline to review your past week and look ahead to the next one to keep yourself accountable. It helps me, anyway. Feel free to post over there about anything.
Also, welcome to the new folks! If you are in or near the cities, please feel free to come to our Saturday morning coffee group. We alternate weeks, always at 8:30am on Saturday mornings. This coming Saturday, November 10th, we will be at the Caribou coffee located inside the Byerlys in Eagan. Alternate weeks we are at the Panera Bread in Burnsville Center. Mark your calendars and join us; we are a fun and welcoming group! We have people who are pre-surgery, immediately post or long-time folks, all different surgeries as well. So don't be shy!
hi everyone , i havent been coming on since they changed it. well hope all is well
Hey all.. for all those that don't know me... I had my LapBand in 2008 and have lost about 150lbs. Last year me and hubby decided to get pregnant and I settled on a weight of 170lbs as the doctor recommended I stay at a manageable weight before trying to get pregnant.
My son, Andrey, was born in late Sept and now I need to get my weight back on track. Honesty time... I now weigh 230lbs. That is a huge gain, but I plan to lose it... just like I did before. I need the support and accountability that helped me so much before.
Thanks all!
Here's a photo of my son for those of you who asked for me to post when he arrived:
I'm still around. Haven't been here for a few months. Probably a good idea. Up just a few lbs. Anybody still meeting at the Saturday coffees?
We have an all surgery support group that meets every Saturday morning @ the Barnes and Noble next to Northtown Mall. Anyone is welcome!
Here's a link where you can get more information; check the calendar there.

Behind every success is effort...Behind every effort is passion...Behind every passion is someone with the courage to try.
I will do the the same! I had RNY on May 30th of this year!
Ill try and make this a daily stop then if people want to get a little more active. I had my RYN 16 months ago.
