I can't believe I am DOWN 0.2 pounds after the holidays!  And yes, I enjoyed some pie and everything else that was cooked but kept my portions small.  This gives me REAL hope that maybe, just maybe I can maintain my weight in the long run.  I know I am only 16 months out and it gets harder the farther out you are but I am hoping that as long as I keep focused that I will be able to stay within my 5-pound range (145-150).

Ok...... how did YOU guys do over the holidays ????  Time to fess up and get back on track !!!

I did great during the Thanksgiving...I had lots and lots of turkey, and a little of the fixings.  I even had Scary Sweet Pumpkin Cheesecake, made with Splenda... OHHHHH soooooo good.  I even lost .4 lbs.  Not too bad for a holiday.  Tonight I am fixing Turkey chili with kidney beans.

Not too bad?  When did you EVER lose weight after a holiday weekend ???? LOL

Congratulations on your loss! 

I am so excited that I lost a pound over the last week!  If I do say so myself, I did great on Thanksgiving!  My goal at the start of this journey was to be in the 150's at my 6-month check-up.  Well, that is coming up this Friday and I weigh 160.2 so I just may make it!

You DID do GREAT over Turkey Day !!!!!

Keep pushing the water and protein and you will make the 150's at your 6-month checkup.  You are doing fantastic!  I started out about the same as you and I hadn't hit the 150's at my ONE YEAR checkup!

Tomorrow is my official weigh in day but I'm puttin it out here today! I usually don't weigh except on Tuesdays but I just felt lighter this morning so my curiosity got the best of me! I almost fell off the scale! This whole last month has been VERY slow, less than 2.5lbs all month. My NUT told me I needed to upp my calories so I did. That made it easy to work a serving of dressing into the plan several times a day Thursday and Friday!  Not only did I lose a good bit this week, I've hit the centruy mark of 100+ lost, I've lost over 52.46% of my EWL AND my BMI is under 40! So even if the official weight is a couple pounds off tomorrow....I'm jazzed!

Awesome Dee, congrats!

WOO HOO!!!  Now go change your ticker !!! LOL

Do you realize you DO NOT QUALIFY for WLS anymore?  (w/o co-morbidities anyway).  I remember being amazed when I hit the under-40 BMI and realized that.

Congrats on hitting the CENTURY CLUB, too !!!!

See????  We told ya you needed to eat more !!!  I know I started losing faster when I upped my calories from the 500-600 range to 800-900 range.

Thanks! I know...I've learned my lesson. I'm gonna believe stuff when ya'll tell me! I've been doing my best to stay around 800 cal. a day.

I went to the PCP today and he was very impressed with my progress. We had a nice little chat about what he can do to support me, I'm very happy that he's so enthusiastic about this whole journey. Much easier than fighting him tooth and nail like some have to do. He wrote my orders for my labs so I left there and had them drawn. 9 vials! He should have the results by the end of the week.

I'll play since I did very well this past week.

Where I want to be:   127 so hope I can see this number again!
