Mornin', Marge.  The time change always messes with me - it takes several weeks for my body to adjust to the "new" time.  Totally screws up my sleep cycle - makes me cranky.  Ya'll are still in the 80s?  I'm already wearing my winter sweaters and it's supposed to snow tomorrow.  I'm not ready for it, although I did get some nice silk thermal underwear for my birthday, so at least I won't freeze this winter like I did last year!!!  Here's my numbers for the week:

Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 194.8
Today - 196.8

Still tinkering with my daily calorie intake and have managed to bring my average down to around 2200 from 2300-2400 calories per day.  Would like to bring that closer to 2000 calories per day, but it takes time.  Plus one "bad" day during the week, like Halloween, can bring those average numbers up pretty quickly.  Regardless, I'm still working on it!!!!

HEY KELLIE,         I SURE HOPE WE GET TO SWEATER WEATHER THIS WEEK. THEY PROMISE LOL.... DONT WORRY ABOUT THE UP AND DOWN TIMES... FOR SOME REASON IT PLAYS WITH YA HEAD ALONG THE WAY. I HAVE NOTICED TO THAT WHEN I EAT SOMETHING WITH HIDDEN SALT IN IT I GO UP A POUND OR TWO AND THEN GOES DOWN THE NEXT DAY... GO FIGURE.... HUGS MARGE

Well, Marge, I told you Aunt Flo was good to me.  I ALMOST got below 350, which I was totally joking about last week.  Its going to be in the 80's here all week too.  I am definitely ready for cooler weather.  All the sweaters and jackets I'd outgrown are fitting nicely or even loosely now.  I don't want to miss the window of opportunity to wear them before they get too big! Here's the numbers for this week (and I'm pretty darn happy with them!) Highest weight 445
Consultation weight 440
Surgery weight 405
Last week : 356.6
This morning: 350.2 ( -6.4 lbs!)  Oh why oh why can't I lose like that every week?  I wasn't even very good about exercise.  Crazy hormones.  Have a great week and good luck at the thrift stores.. If I was at a stable 155 I'd be in the real stores doing some damage to my bank account! 

HEY DUNNY,       DANG GIRL, CAN I BORROW YOUR AUNT FLO... MINE AINT WORTH A CRAP LOL... SHE AINT NEVER LET ME LOSE WEIGHT AT THAT TIME... YOU DONE AMAZING!! I TRY TO STICK WITH THRIFT STORES ALOT BECAUSE I CAN HAVE MY CAKE AS THEY SAY AND EAT IT TO... I CAN GET MY SHOPPING FIX FOR CHEAP AND GET TOP NAME BRANDS AND ALSO NOT PAY ALOT WHEN THE CLOTHES GET TO BIG.. IT WILL MAKE YA SICK GETTING SOMETHING AND WEAR ONCE... I HAVE CLOTHES THAT I BOUGHT WHEN I WENT TO VISIT MY SISTER AND NOW DONT EVEN FIT... NEVER EVEN WORE THEM YET... UGH... HUGS MARGE

HEY FELICIA,         WE FUSS ABOUT COLD WEATHER AND AS SOON AS ICE HITS THE GROUND THEY ARE RUNNING AROUND LIKE ANTS SHUTTING THE SCHOOLS DOWN LOL.... IF WAS TO SNOW..OMG WHAT A MESS THAT WOULD CREATE LOL.... I USED TO HATE SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES BUT HAVE REALLY OPENED UP A WHOLE CAN OF WORMS NOW ..... OR SHOULD I SAY OPENED UP MY DEBIT CARD LOL.... YOULL BE IN THE ONDERLANDS BEFORE YOU KNOW IT... SO CLOSE!! HUGS MARGE

I cant remember the last time they closed the schools here. Basically if someone can get there to unlock the door lol school is open! We don't actually get a lot of snow in my area though so that may be why. MAYBE 3 weeks a year ish total give or take. LOL well my debit card would revolt even if I did WANT to shop lol. I can hear it complaining over there in my purse as I type already and thats only cuz its grocery shopping time *sigh*.  Wouldnt it be great if while we are losing weight our checking accounts were gaining!! LOL Thanks so much!! I seem to be on a 3 week stall out 1 week lose schedule. I just try not to let it bother me ( ok ya right sure sure on that one). Thanks again so much!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Hi Marge, Our weather will be making a drastic change soon, but I can still fit into some of my old clothes.  Of course, I have a department store's worth of sizes that I've kept around for the last ten years "just in case", and I can now fit into some of those, too.  The big difference is that I want to shop now!  I hope that I won't be in any size for too long, so I also want to be thrifty about my purchases.  My sister has been sharing with me.  She had her surgery in March, so she's changed many sizes.  Oh well, here are the numbers: Beginning weight:  365
Surgery weight:  350
Last week:  302.8 This week:   301.0

Since surgery (8/06/07):  49 lbs
Total:  64 lbs
Have a wonderful day!

HEY DEBBIE,        I THINK WE HAVE ALL HAD SO MANY SIZES IN THE CLOSET HUH? I WOULD SWEAR I WAS GONNA BE IN THEM AGAIN EXCEPT THAT DAY NEVER WOULD COME... SO YOU BETTER GET USE OUT OF THEM NOW BECAUSE YOU SURELY WONT BE IN THEM LONG.... SIZES CHANGE SO FAST. HUGS MARGE
