Mornin', Marge, and welcome to turkey week.  Your post is starting to get me in the holiday spirit!  I took off from work Wednesday so I can bake and prep as much as possible for Thursday.  I love having a day at home to cook and putter around.  So far I think we're up to four kinds of pie (pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, and lemon meringue).  I'm also off Friday, but not sure whether I've venture out for the shopping chaos; will depend on my mood and just how good the sales are!  Anyway, here's my numbers for the week:

Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 198.8
Today - 191.3 My body finally decided it was safe to let go of a few more pounds - was a low as 189.4 yesterday, but Sunday afternoon snacking showed up on the scale this morning.  I'm happy regardless, since I'd been hanging around in the mid to upper 190s for a while.  I'm working on being at peace with how my body loses these days - I stay the same weight for 5-8 weeks, then lose 5-7 pounds in a week or so.  Odd, but pretty consistent.   Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!! 

Kellie

Morning! Happy Turkey Week to everyone!! We will be spending Turkey day at a friends how so all I have to do is supply the wine (lol that I dont drink) and then just sit back and enjoy the day! We are really looking forward to it this year. The past holidays have been very stressful and not very enjoyable. But this year is different. We got rid of the stress and have great plans for a happy and joyful holiday season. I had a great weigh in this week as I posted yesterday that I made it to ONE-DERLAND!!!

Starting weight 427 lbs Surgery Weight 359lbs Current weight 199 lbs

Total Lost Since Pre Op Diet -179 lbs (Started 2 weeks before surgery.) Total Lost Since Surgery -160 lbs Total Lost so far -228 lbs Hope everyone has just a super holiday week!!
*huggles*

Hey Marge! Happy Anniversary - 29 years is nothing to sneeze at, wow!  My husband has been driving me absolutely batty (I think its my hormones) so I can really respect a 29 year run right about now.  I had a hard week, I've been so tired, but I was glad to find a reason for it - I'm anemic.  I'm taking iron now, so hopefully I'll perk up soon.  I've been in a bad mood, I haven't been eating and I have been a pain in the butt to live with.  I cried 4 times yesterday for no reason.  I cried this morning on my way to work because there was a dead cat on the road and I started thinking about when one of my cats was run over.... ugh.  I need some happy juice or something.  Also, my weight loss has been frustrating me.  I bought a pendant to mark losing 100 lbs.. so of course my weight loss stopped 6 lbs from 100 lost.  I think I'm stalling again, but I know it will come off eventually, and I know not eating and not really exercising probably isn't helping matters.  I just hope its not a LONG stall, I didn't lose much of anything during month two, I don't want to repeat for month 4.  My goal was to be under 280 by spring break, but at this rate I don't know if I'll make it. Highest weight 445
Consultation weight 440
Surgery weight 405
Last week : 347.2
This morning: 346.0 (-1.2 lbs) I hope you have a happy turkey day and have fun shopping.  I've got most of my Christmas shopping done this year... I've got one big gift for me to buy, one for my father in law, and one for my uncle.  Everyone else is done, and possibly over done. If I see some good deals, I might pick up more presents though.  I've also got to finish a scrapbook for my aunt by Christmas, so technically I guess she's not quite done either. 

We're gonna hit the stores too! At least, we will if this storm that's on the way doesn't cause traveling problems. Let's just hope I can get out of here with no problems. No snow for over a month and now it decides to rear it's ugly head - go figure. I stepped on the scale this morning, expecting a gain because I have been eating everything in sight! I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just want to have something in my mouth all the time. I still religiously keep track of all my calories and I'm always in range... well, the high range at least. Unfortunately those calories are from things like candy and other junk. Need to figure this one out. surgery weight: 371 last week's weight: 168 this week's weight: 168 So, no gain, which I'm shocked by. I guess my body is giving me a reprieve so I can figure out how to conquer those food demons. Have a great thanksgiving everyone! Enjoy that Turkey!!

Hi Marge,

Sounds like you are gonna have a busy week. I sure wish I could hit the sales on Friday, but I have to work on Friday. Got all my groceries bought yesterday for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to having the kids over all day...

Did pretty good this week..hope I can say that next week...

Beginning weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Last week 184.5 This week 183 Have a great holiday. Lynn              

 

Good Morning Marge, Sounds like you have a plan for shopping!  LOL!  You are so right that this year you will be able to move lots faster at all those sales and get in and out and from store to store quickly. Last week, you posted about being cold.  I has my 9mo check up on Wednesday, and asked my surgeon if I will always be cold.  He said YES, then asked if I was married.  I told him YES, and he said"  well, snuggle up to your husband and tell him to buy you a fur coat since you've lost your insulation!"  I had to laugh at that. Here is my info for this week: Surgery Referral Weight 368 Feb. 8, 2006
Kaiser Options Class Wt.  375  June 14, 2006
Consult Weight: 351 December 7, 2006
Surgery Weight - 344 Jan. 31, 07
Last Week: 211.6
Today: 208 I'm so happy that the long stall has been broken and over the past 2 weeks, I'm down 9lbs!  YAY. I'm so looking forward to being under 200, and being under a 30 bmi!  I'm so envious of both Kellie and Felicia this week, but know that soon I will be there! Have a great week!

Good Morning Marge!  Happy Anniversary to you.

I'll be doing the cooking this year for Thanksgiving, but no compliats from me about it! Last year I had gallbladder surgery 2 days before Thanksgiving and my hubbies family decided Indonesian food sounded better than traditional Thanksgiving food. They still asked me to fix pumpkin pies, but it wasn't the same, I think I ate two bites of soup. I just sat and watched them pig out! I can't stand getting in the crowds to shop, so most of mine is done on-line. If I do go to Hong Kong on Dec 1st I'll be doing Christmas shopping there! BEGINNING WEIGHT- 374 SURGERY WEIGHT- 356 LAST WEEK-182 THIS WEEK- 178 - 196 pounds gone forever! Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hong Kong?  What's this about Hong Kong? Green with envy, Kix

I've never been Kix, but I might have to go to Manila and as a bonus (since it's my dream) my boss said I could go to Hong Kong (as a company expense) for 3 days or so before going on to Manila!

I've always dreamed of going shopping in Stanley Market ...
