HAVE ALOT OF CLEANING TO DO THIS WEEK SO WILL SURELY STAY BUSY.... BEGINNING WEIGHT-397 SURGERY WEIGHT-386 LAST WEEK-152 THIS WEEK-152 HUGS MARGE

Hiya, Marge.  I'll be brave and post my numbers for the week.  I'm up just over 4 pounds from last week.  Partially attributable to Aunt Flo, but mostly attributable to having eaten whatever I wanted over the Thanksgiving holiday and not exercising at all.  You name it, I ate it, and dang it, I enjoyed it.  So here's my numbers for the week:

Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 191.3
Today - 195.6 In the old days, this type of foray off the wagon would have opened the door to continue to eat a bunch of crap I knew I shouldn't.  But these days, I'm thankfully and happily back to my normal routine today.  I just feel so much better when I eat like I should; that makes it much easier to go back to doing the right thing.  So I'll have that 4 pounds back off before you know it!

Kellie

HEY KELLIE,          HEY, FOUR POUNDS... COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE HUH? I TO WOULD HAVE FALLEN OFF THE WAGON AND THAT SUCKER WOULD HAVE RAN RIGHT OVER ME AND I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN SHOVELING LOL.... SO DONT SWEAT IT... YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AND THATS THE IMPORTANT THING.... HUGS MARGE

Hi Marge,  I did pretty good with eating on Thanksgiving - I had a bite or two of everything and then left it at that.  The thing I enjoyed most was corn pudding and I did eat some of those left overs (which is amazing because I don't ever touch Thanksgiving left overs...blech)  I made a turkey and gravy (which I finally did right!) and some cranberry sauce.  My best friend made the rest and we went to her house.  She has three little boys and it was pretty fun to hang out with them.  We played charades, which was entertaining with a five year old.  The baby was a little sick and fussy but he went to sleep so it was nice after that.  I did some shopping, and actually even bought a few Christmas decorations!  I decided we would decorate a little this week, especially since we are having a party on the 15th.  This was my best weight loss week in a while (when not on my period), and yesterday I actually got to 100lbs lost.  Today its back to 99, but I know I'll get there again.  Highest weight 445
Consultation weight 440
Surgery weight 405
Last week : 346.0
This morning: 341.0 (-5 lbs)  How crazy is it to lose 5 lbs on Thanksgiving week?
