Monday Morning Weigh In

I'm doing pretty good, slow and steady. The Carb Monster has been trying to rear his ugly mug but so far I've been shooting him in the ass every time! A couple of WASA crackers once a week with some chicken or tuna salad and some dried peas for crunch has satisfied me so far.

I had my 6mo check up with Dr. Garth today. I've lost 70.5 lbs since surgery and he said he was very pleased with my progress, although I was really hoping to lose 15-20 more by now. He still won't talk about goals other than he wants my BMI under 30. He said anything after that he considers gravy. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to disagree on that! I don't know if my goal of 150 is realistic or even sustainable but I do know that I won't be happy with wherever less than 5 BMI points gets me!

Highest weight: 353
Surgery weight: 292
Weight last week: 223
Today's Weight: 221.5
Weight Gain/Loss: -1.5lbs
Total weight loss: 130.5

WOW you are doing so well, I can understand why Garth would be very pleased with your progress so far.  You are really rocking your tool!  I just purchased my tickets for OH Conf in November, so I'll be expecting to see your skinny a$$ there, but I bet I won't recognize you. You'll have to come tell me who you are.  Keep it up GF! 

Hugs, Mari

Thanks!  I am SO looking forward to seeing you again. When I met you in Dallas I was still in a fog, trying to keep everyone's names straight.

WOO HOO !!! 

Ooops!  I am off all week on Spring Break and didn't get on the scale this morning so I don't know..... will have to play next week.  I was 146-ish a few days ago.

Oh GEE!  Spring Break for a week, hmmmmmm forgot to weigh-------hmmmm sounds like a case of having a life!  Y'all have fun this week! 

Not feelin too well this evening so short and sweet.

Went to bed early last night, so didn't get this until this morning, so please forgive my tardiness in responding.

  (HCB=Holy Cow Batman) You're doing incredibly well the last couple of weeks...4 more lbs and you will have lost HALF your total body weight!  That's incredible! So proud of you.  Sometimes ya just have to knuckle under and really watch every morsel you put into your mouth.  Keep up the good work!!!  

Hugs, Mari
