It was Drs. week for you, wasn't it? I did that before i got laid off, did all those fun things. I am with you on the mammogram, it was a lot less painless that I thought it would be - helps when the ladies are completely deflated! Speaking of the ladies, I went shopping yesterday to find a new bra and it was s sad trip I am a 40B and NOBODY has 40B bras! All because of all this lovely skin - I think if I got it taken off I could be a nice 36 or 34, but no, I am in weird stage. It was just sad how poorly the bras fit - I think I'm just gonna have to go braless from here on out! I did good with the weight loss this week, which was nice since I was frustrated all week with the scale. But it moved, yeah!! Surgery weight: 371 last weeks weight: 205 this weeks weight: 201 Almost to the one-ders! It seems like it is going sooo slow, but I know it's just my impatience. Have a great time at the wedding Marge!

PJ, you can get inexpensive bras in that size at Walmart.  I have a similar problem (46B) and someone at my surgery support group suggested going to Wally's.  I found two bras there that were $8 each.  They won't last forever, but that's OK. Kix

Hi Marge!!  I'm glad they started you on something for your anemia - maybe it will kick in and give you some energy for your trip!!  Have a fantastic time. I've had a good busy week myself but no loss this week - actually a .5 pound gain but I feel it's some fluid and I have not exercised or gotten all my water in this weekend.  I am changing that starting today. Last week     235.2 This week     235.7 Total loss      148.3

Hi Everyone,, Not such a good week for me with the scales.  I hope this isn't the begining of a stale or slow weight loss for me.   Actually I've been doing everything "food wise",, just not the excercise,, but will get on that this week. Last week 266 This week 264 Mary Anne

Hi Marge, Well I had a pretty good weekend.. Went to a BBQ on saturday nite, did well just had some chicken. Yesterday was alittle stressful. Big Fire in Lake Tahoe, my parents live there.

Here goes my numbers Beginning weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Last week 194 This week 192 Have a great week.. Lynn

Hi Everyone!  I AM IN TWOTERVILLE!!!!!! Okay maybe a little overly excited.  I did not post my weight last Monday because I was really bummed with a 1 pound lost and it was "That Time".  But boy did my body make up for it this week.  I am down 9 pounds this week and in the two's.  I haven't been here in years.  Okay so here are my stats. Highest/Surgery Weight - 361 Weight Last Week - 308 This Week - 299 Lost this week - 9 lbs! Have a great week everyone!!

CONGRATS Nancy, I remember how awesome that felt. Enjoy every moment. Lynn
