Aww Robin! Thank you so much Youre such a sweetheart.. how is everything going?? You been feeling any better?!? Hope so! jen

Hey Jen! You are my inspiration! I am feeling pretty low right now, and you gave me hope! You look awsome! Have fun shopping for your two-piece bathing suit! Terri H.

*tears* Thanks Terri! I was in your shoes NOT VERY LONG AGO!!!! So keep your head up and you will make it just FINE! It wont be long until youre near goal and feeling great! (And i wish i could shop for a 2 piece, but it might make everyone )Thanks girl jen

Jen, you look amazing!!! What a difference! Keep up the good work. Do you go to a gym or what are you doing for exercise? Susan

Thanks Susan At the beginning I was walking, riding bike and swimming.. then I broke my tailbone 3 mths post op.. and i still have big issues with the pain there so i havent been able to do alot of exercise. I did go to the gym a couple weeks straight a lil bit ago and was doing the Urban Rebounding class (i loved it!! check your area to see if they have them!! its awesome!) but my body was wore out from no vitamins (EVERYONE TAKE THEM!!!) Now im back on track and have energy to go again so im going to start back soon.. my body needed some rest. Thanks so much! jen

You look awsome Jen! Even though it makes me depressed, seeing how well everyone is doing, I still envy you and wish I was losing like you and all the others are. Keep up the good work. Mary

Mary *HUGS* You ARE doing great! You looked amazing the other week at fitzpatricks! You cant see the change as much as we can and WOW! im serious.. I think youre like some ppl who dont show the weight loss on the scale as much as the inches lost! Youve done fantastic and ive got faith in you. Dont be depressed, it makes losing weight SOOOO much harder.. Trust me! Ive been going through depression this winter and its had me wanting to snack and munch. .my husband was even like "youre grazing" i was like mmk howd he know that lol so seriously try to think positive look how far youve come! Im PROUD of you! Jen

As usual, you always know how to make someone feel better. I appreciate your encouragement and I know you understand how I'm feeling right now. I just don't get what's going on with me and my weight loss, I wish I could figure out why I'm not dropping the pounds like everyone else. I am trying everything to jump start it, but it doesn't seem to matter what I do, it won't budge.Unfortunetly Dr. Bour won't be looking at my inches lost, just the numbers on the scale. He didn't seem too happy at my 3 month appointment telling me I was at the bottom of his scale. Now he expects me to loose at least half of what I have already lost by May 3, and it's not going to happen. I have only dropped 4 pounds since February 3 and that's not good. I'm going to post to see if anyone else has had a problem with their Thyroid medicine after surgery. I often wonder if it's not being absorbed right and it needs to be changed. I had my blood work Friday and have an appointment this Thursday to find out if its messed up. I can only hope that is the problem, at least it can be fixed. Sorry this is long winded, I needed to get it off my chest ( whats left of it, lol). Again thanks Jen for being here and talking to me, your the greatest! Mary

MAry you sound like my dad! HE was on klonopin for anxiety.. and he wasnt losing on the scale much and dr bour said he could come off of it, and when he did he lost 20 lbs that month! You should really talk to them about the thyroid thing and see if its the medicine.. Up your water intake, eat alot of tuna salad if you can.. it REALLY boost my weight loss when i can stomach it. its not my fav meal thats for sure! If you feel like snacking get some sunflower seeds they keep your mouth busy for a lot work and little benefit lol (at least thats what i do) u can do it!!! jen

Jen I'm doing great. I got out of the hospital again on March 3rd and have been gaining strength and the ability to eat and drink ever since. I've started loosing weight again and my clothes are actually starting to look like oversized pjs now. I'm going to need to go to a few meetings to see if I can exchange some clothes soon. I go back to work tomorrow and I'm so excited to see all my work buddies and to just get back to my life. My hubby and I will celebrate our 6 yr anniversary on St.Patty's day. I did a post trying to find out if I could have a drink but just as I thought it's a little too early for that so I'll just sip on some mixed berry flavored diet lipton green tea and pretend its a frothy green beer! I took some before pictures in my skibbies but I'm too chicken to post them on my page. I didn't realize how bad I looked until I saw them. Maybe I'll be brave and put them up but I haven't found the courage to take anymore to compare the 48 lb weight loss I've had so far. Talk to you soon hun and keep up the good work. Robin
