After holiday weight in

Hi gang,

Happy new year to everyone

I hope everyone had a great time. I spent 2 weeks in Florida, 10 days with my parents and 3 days at Disney. We had a great time but now it is back to reality.

I was very good with the food but got tempted on the wine.

However, despite the alcool intake, I have manage to lose 3 lbs over my vacation and are very proud of myself.

I have the feeling that 2011 will be a good good year for all of us.

Can't wait to hear from you.

Nathalie

Hi, still pre-op but wanted to share this...   Since meeting with dr. Atlas in dec. 08, i've gained 15 pounds!!!  But for the new year, i've decided to make some changes while waiting for my vsg....   I've stopped drinking pop completely since Jan. 1st,  most days, I try to eat 3 meals a day and i'm drinking a lot more water....  Hope to lose a couple pounds before surgery but it's not easy....

Congrats to Nathalie and Cindy for your loss'

Hey Gang! 

Welcome to the year 2011. This is the year where everyone will be healthier and will accomplish many of their goals.

Congrats to all of you for losing some weight over the holidays. It's a hard time of year but now with the holidays over, it's downhill from now.

Keep it up guys!

Hi everyone!

I sincerely hope 2011 brings good things to everyone (and that our bench gets longer and longer)!

Holiday season went rather well for me. As usual, chicken and turkey give me a hard time...but I'm getting better at keeping them down (!). Wine also got the best of me...but what  a pleasurable sin!

My weight was in the low 180's in december and I was at 178.8lbs monday am...Guess what! My BMI is now "normal" at 24.9! This standard now seems kind of low in my opinion. I really feel skinny now and have a hard time admitting that anything over BMI 25 is somekind of obesity. Being 5ft11in, I'm sure that with an acceptable muscle mass, being in the mid 180's is healthy without being obese...Statistics often give strange results!

Have a nice week!

Hi everyone, been missing you these past weeks! Hope this new year will bring joy to everyone and good health, and that the waiting will end for all on " the list"  and that 2011 will be the start of your new life. For those post op, may this year be a healthy one, with continuation of our new habits!

The holidays were very calm this year. Sylvain is a little better, but he's still on purees after 7 weeks... anything more solid goes up... He is seing his doc tomorrow, but it seems that everything is normal, except that his stomach is very small, and still swollen. But he is slowly starting to accept this , and learning to listen to his stomach. He had an hard time with head hunger. He has already lost 55 pounds since optifast. He was taking 3 pills for diabetes, and 3 for hbp, and now he takes nothing!! Everything is ok... he is very happy about it!

I seem to do ok with maintenance, I gained 2 pounds during the Holidays, but that's ok, because I was becoming a little too thin for my taste...Now I stay around 144, and I am ok with that. Still afraid of gaining back everytime I eat something that's not healthy, but learning to accept this. Ihave problem now dealing with loose skin,I fear of the summer that is coming... will begin to check if I can at least do my arms before summer... but I think its too soon...

Congrats Nathalie and Cindy  on your loses during the Holidays!
Keanna, this year will be your year, I know the wait is difficult, but theit's gonna be over soon!
Joel, don't get too thin, the BMI doesn't count at all for the body composition, bone and muscles, and I always find it is too low for most men. But congrats on achieving a " normal" BMI !

Have a nice week friends!

Hey what about meeeeeeeeeeeeee     Doris  QC.

Hi everyone and happy new year to all. I am wishing you all health and more health as the rest is as they say 'icing on the cake'....
I have been doing well maintaining, I linger between 147-153. The last two weeks I've stayed under the 150 mark so we'll see. I have been snowshoeing once again and my hubby bought me new snowshoes for xmas. My old ones had a weight range up to 300lbs so they were very long. The new ones are 25inches and very small considering what I am used to wearing so I am having alot of fun using them.
Congrats on everyone's weight loss or maintenance. Have a good weekend everyone!
