GOBBLE GOBBLE WEEK WEIGH IN!!

Hi Marge! Happy Anniversary and best wishes for the Holiday and a safe shopping trip . Congratulations to everyone who has already posted - lots of great progress going on. You guys continue to inspire me. I still can't imagine seeing those kind of numbers without seeing you report them each week, so thank you for doing it. Jenn, bless your heart. Your poor hormones are reeking havoc on you. PJ, it seems only natural that you would have head hunger right about now, yes? Be gentle with yourself. Here's where I am: Pre-op: 414 Surgery: 373 Last week: 321 This week: 316 Loss this week: 5 pounds Total Loss: 98 pounds The nicest thing that happened to affirm my loss this week was waking up this morning with my cat actually curled into a fetal position in the curve made by waist as I lay on my side in bed. She's never been able to do that before. I started to purr and she purred right back at me. Such a sweet way to wake up -Julie

We're running a low fever at our house due to the imminent arrival of our California family.  My sister is particularly stoked.  Me, I'm happy to see them, at least we will do a lot of fun stuff this week.  I like keeping active now that I'm able to be active! Just came back from two trips to Toys R Us, both stores on the opposite sides of town.  One was over by PJ's house, if I had known I was headed that way, I'd have invited myself over for lunch. The other was up by Boulder, so I stopped at my "lucky" store where I bought my $1000 winning scratcher earlier this year.  I didn't have as good a win today, but I did win $50, which will pay for my haircut on Wednesday.  Woohoo! I need to get off my azz and get busy with the housework.  I think I'm going to change my name from Kix to Cindy (as in Cinderella).  No loss this week, but no gain, either.  If I hadn't had Casper dogs for dinner last night, I might have lost a pound (they are full of sodium).  I'm not going to die over it, I feel motivated seeing Felicia make it to onederland and Kellie losing a big hunk o'weight this week.  I'll get there. Kix Beginning weight: 530 lbs Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 217 lb This week: 217 lb

Keep up the great work, Kix.  Glad to see you got below 220 - it's frustrating to be stuck at the same weight for so long!  When I hit the 220s, it got a lot harder for me to lose, but it's definitely doable.  My surgeon's fellow said that whatever I lost beyond that point would be based on how I did in terms of food and exercise, and not so much related to the surgery.  Although the surgery definitely helps because I can't eat so much and my capacity is limited.  So stick to the plan and you will get there!!!   Kellie

A day late because I didn't work yesterday.  Gosh, I love reading your weekly weigh in posts Marge!! Kix, you and I are really neck and neck!!! Last week 220.7  This week 218.5   Happy Holidays everyone - great job!!

Woohoo!!  I love the holiday season:)  It sure will be different this year.  I'll feel good after Thanksgiving dinner!  Beginning weight:  365
Surgery weight:  350
Last week:  299.0 This week:   293 (-6lbs)

Since surgery (8/06/07):  57 lbs
Total:  72 lbs

Happy Anniversary to you Marge! I am late posting sigh. Busy busy at work.  So here is this weeks story Beginning weight 380 Surgery weight 367 Last week 311 This week 308 Man I wanna be in twonerville something fierce. My son is coming home for Thanksgiving from MN. I can't wait to see him. And he says he can't wait to see me. He came for my surgery and left the day after so we both want to see if he notices a big difference. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
