Good morning, Marge.  Congrats on maintaining at 152!  That has to feel good  Here's my numbers for the week:

Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 195.6
Today - 193.9

I had been down to 193, but salty snacks while watching football combined with pizza for dinner left me puffy and over-carbed.  But I'm glad to have to dropped some of my Thanksgiving regain and will continue to do the right things this week.  My goal during the holiday season is simply to maintain, so I'll be happy if I can hold in the 193 range through December.  Last year, I gained about 10 pounds during the holidays, which made me unhappy.  I plan to avoid that regain this season by doing things in moderation!

Happy Monday Marge!  I excited about this week because its the last week before Christmas break.  I don't have to come back to wor****il the first week of January!  Unless I want to.  Which I may, because I'm pretty behind.  It was a decent week for weight loss.  I saw my surgeon Friday and he was pleased with my progress - he put me on a daily B-complex also, and its already helping my energy, thank goodness.  His scale always reads 5 lbs lower, so actually I could add five lbs to my total loss if I wanted.. since the starting number was from his scale.. BUT since I don't see him much I'll just use my scale numbers.  Highest weight 445
Consultation weight 440
Surgery weight 405
Last week : 341.0
This morning: 337.4 (-3.6 lbs) This week will hopefully be even better, since its my week off the NuvaRing - that's always the best weight loss week of the month.  Oh, for the first time since I started in this lab (almost 4 years ago) I took the stairs today.  It wasn't even very hard!  Cool! 

WHOOP WHOOP ON THE STAIRS!!! THAT IS SUCH A GREAT FEELING HUH? VERY LIBERATING I KNOW.... AND IT WILL JUST GET BETTER WITH TIME... I USED TO ALL BUT ROAD RAGE TRYING TO KILL MYSELF TO GET A CLOSE PARKING SPACE BUT NOW WHO CARES... I JUST PARK WHEREVER AND DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW FAR IT IS... SO GREAT A FEELING.. GOOD JOB ON THE WEIGHT THIS WEEK!!! WILL PROBABLY KICK BUTT NEXT WEEK WHILE AUNT FLO IS IN TOWN HUH? YOU SOUND LIKE MY GIRLS.. TWO OF THEM ARE IN COLLEGE AND ARE TAKING FINALS NEXT WEEK AND ARE SO READY FOR IT TO BE OVER... THEY ARE COUNTING DOWN....

HUGS MARGE
