Marge, I am glad your Ablation went well. It has been a good week for me. I love Christmas!!!!!!! My plan was to get up early on Saturday and do some more shopping. However, when I got in from work on Friday we had no phone service and they were coming out on Saturday to look at our insdie wiring.....between 8 and noon(yeah right). So when they arrived at 1pm it took them an hour to fix the problem. We left the house around 2:30 pm. OMG traffic was awful by then and we was out shopping until at least 8pm. Most of the time was spent in traffic. But I still love it.  Anyway, I loss another 3 lbs and I am real happy about that. I leave for home to IL on Friday so I won't post my weigh in next week.    I WISH EVERYBODY A HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!!!!! BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07 Pre-op consult)
SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital)
Last Week-216
THIS WEEK-213

YOU SOUND LIKE ME ABOUT THE HOLIDAY HUSSLE AND BUSSLE... BUT THEN I WILL TELL YA IN THE SAME SENTENCE THAT I LOVE IT...LOL..HUGS MARGE

Good morning, Marge.  Glad your ablation went well and that you are recovering nicely.  Let us know how the cookie making goes - I did that last weekend with my Mom, sisters, and nephews - we had a great time. 
Here's my numbers for the week:
Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 196.7 Today - 192.1

Last Monday I was retaining fluids like a giant sponge.  On Tuesday, I felt like all I did all day was run to the bathroom to pee!!!  What a relief to get rid of that excess fluid.  Other than that, I'm holding steady in the low 190's.  My goals for the holidays is to maintain in that range and so far, so good.  Aunt Flo should arrive later this week (or so my evil-meter says), so I'm sure I'll have some fluid retention then as well.  But at least I know what causes that!!!

Hi Marge, I had a great weekend, we took the granddaughters up to Lake Tahoe to visit my parents, but mostly to play in the snow....They had so much fun.

Managed to stay pretty much on track, so here are my numbers this week Beginning weight 473 Surgery weight 417 Last week 183 This week 181 Hope to hang on, but I did make fudge last nite.. hard to resist, especially since I don't dump.. I will really try and limit myself.. Have an awesome week.. Lynn

I must be the other Ralphie's brother because all I ever do is pull on layer after layer of clothes! My mom was here this weekend and she would just laugh at me with my big ole' sweatshirt. I will never get use to the cold again! I had a really nice weekend with my mom here - we went to a Christmas concert Saturday night that had a professional bell ringing group playing and it was just beautiful. Then Sunday we went to the Titanic exhibit and it was fascinating - we are both history nuts and just loved it. It was just nice spending time together. No change for me this week - didn't really try hard to lose the 2 pounds I gained last week - my goal is just to maintain throughout the holidays and then try to lose another 10 pounds after the first. As long as I don't have any more sugar problems I think it is doable. surgery weight: 371 last week's weight: 170 this week's weight: 170 have a great week everyone!! Pam

My sister and her friends went to the Titanic exhibit earlier this summer (I confess I have a deep loathing for anything related to the Titanic, I have no idea why).  She loved it.  Her ticket persona was that of a first-class passenger, and she and her maid survived the sinking. Kix

HEY PJ,          SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AND YOUR MOM HAD SOME TIME TOGETHER TO JUST ENJOY EACH OTHERS COMPANY... I KNOW ITS BEEN A ROUGH ROAD FOR YALL LATELY... YOU NEEDED IT FOR SURE... I HAVE TO SAY HISTORY IS A ZZZZZ SNOOZER FOR ME... MAYBE THATS WHY I SUCKED AT IT IN SCHOOL. LOL... BUT YOU HAD ME AT BELL RINGING... ANYTHING HOLIDAY WISE I LOVE... I COULD PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC IN JULY LOL.... AFTER THE HOLIDAYS AND ALL THAT TEN POUNDS WILL HIT THE ROAD FOR SURE... JUST TRY TO MAINTAIN TILL THEN... YOU CAN TELL AS WE GET LIGHTER WEIGHTS ITS A TOTALLY UPHILL BATTLE BUT YOU ARE GREAT AT CLIMBING LOL...

HUGS MARGE
