Well, I do have something to report!  I've lost 4 lbs as of this morning!  See wha****ching yourself can do, eating protein instead of cereal for breakfast?  Don't look at my progress meter below, because it doesn't show I had gained 10 lbs., something I'm not too proud of.  When I get below that, I'll start moving it again.

Thanks for the support, gals!  I've slipped away for awhile, trying to get settled into the new office, new home, etc. The stress had me eating anything and everything. I know I shouldn't have allowed it, but I did. Time to restart.  And I'm making progress!  Monday, personal trainer time!  If I'm not too exhausted from the workout, I'll let you know how it went!   HEHEHEHEHEHE.

Jewels,
What an exciting time in your life. It will be here before you know it.
I wish you the best in everything and am looking forward to hearing from you on how things are going.
Gets out an extra losers bench for all those getting ready to join us! Dust's it off and places it nicely by the sunny side window.

I've heard of the ROSE procedure now & heard second-hand that it wasn't that effective.  But, that's second-hand info & I don't know myself.

I don't have a date yet, but it almost certainly will be sometime in mid-March.  Actually, March 11th is one of my tentative dates.    My tentative dates were the 5th, 6th, or 11th, but it looks now like it might get pushed back one week, so 12th, 13th, or 18th.

My birthday is the 16th.  Not that I'm looking forward to being in pain, but that's just about the best present that I can think of to give myself & it just turned out that way.  I'm getting the duodenal switch in Mexico.  No, I'm not crazy!  I'll be a lot warmer!

I wish you good luck!  I live in GF, do you live here also?

Val...You are doing fine...Until this crappy weather stops or at least slows up i'm in the same boat as you are...I really want my fill...I have been playing with the same 5 pound for the past 3 months and really want to get rid of it soon...I've notice that the longer i go needing a fill  the easier it is to make the wrong choices for something to snack on...Today was REALLY BAD for me...We had birthday cake for one of my cowokers and i ate most of my piece and then i ate 2 mini snickers (Snicker have been off limits every sense i had surgery...Good Luck with the Trainer...I myself have to kick my own butt into gear...I have a nice new treadmill and an elliptical machine downstairs as well and the wii fit upstairs...but if i don't get on them then they don't do much for me...Keep thinking positive and picture yourself looking skinny and sexy in that strapless dress...
