Christine, Good morning hun ~Hugs~ So good to see you but I am so sorry to hear about your sister and mom... I hope this all works out and I know that has to add to your stress. If you need to chat just call me hun....hey how is your foot doing? do you have that much pain? I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hun I am stuck at 215-217 for the last 3 weeks but I have noticed that I have been losing inches so I guess that is ok. When I got on the scale this morning and it was 215 so maybe it will start moving down again. This Thurs it will be 4 months and I am down 70 Lbs.. so I guess I am moving in the right direction. Take care hun ~hugs you tight~ Debra P 285/215/125??

Good morning Christine, I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and your mom - I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers - you too - how are you doing with your foot surgery? It's beautiful here today, sunny and bright and supposed to go up to 80 degrees by this afternoon. Of course, this weekend it's only supposed to go up to the 50's so next week everyone will be sick. Anyway, I'm 4 and 1/2 months out and according to my scale this morning, I'm down 66 lbs. It's coming off much slower now but I'm assuming this is normal??? I'm feeling great though, knees and back no longer hurt and I have tons more energy. Hey, is anyone thinking of taking that cruise next September? Thanks for taking the time and effort to post the "Roll Call". You are all very special people on this site. Have a beautiful day. Cindee 310/244/?

Christine Hi sweety, hope everything went well with your foot surgery. I am sorry to hear about your mom and sister, I will keep them in my prayers. Update on my journey: Not so good, Back in May went I went for my checkup with my surgeon, I weighed 175lbs and on 9/26 I went to my regular doctor and I weighed 190lbs, when I saw that I wanted to , I all night. I said to myself is this really happening. So last week I started to write down everything I eat. Monday morning I weighed myself again, and if the scale is correct, it said 185lbs. I will weigh myself on Monday again. This is what I am eating now: B- lf yogurt or cottage cheese S- when I do, i have sf vanilla pudding, or jello L- small salad with cheese, sometimes I might put in an egg, tuna , or chicken S- fruit salad or a yogurt D- cottage cheese, or another salad, or a protein shake S- decaff coffee with some crackers I am drinking more water now, so i guess that's good. I feel so bad I gained 15lbs. I wonder what my doctor will say, I have to go for some bloodwork tomorrow, then I will make an appointment to see my doctor. well enough about me, how is your weight loss going? Talk to you soon Love Mery

Hi Mery My foot is fine thanks for asking.....and thanks for your thoughts.... Well it looks like you got side tracked......but you got your self back on track and back to basics.....so don't beat yourself up......you are aware of it and you are doing something about it...... I am doing ok in my journey I have lost 131lbs so far but I'm at a stand still for about 4 weeks and I know I have to watch my food intake too.....I went from 346 to 215 a size 26 to 14 a size 4x to med.....well I feel really good about how well I have done but it's not were I want to be I was hoping to be in onederland but it is a struggle to get there....but it I hang in there I'm sure I will get there.... You hang in there hun you have done great and one fall back is not the end,.....and you are addressing the problem.... By the way how is Lorraine doing....send her my love and thoughts....
