VALENTINE WEIGH IN WEEK!

Hi Marge,   A friend of mine wanted me to paint my kitchen red when I remodeled it and I almost did but chickened out at the last min lol   everytime she comes over she says (while shaking her head) I can't believe you didn't with the red lol     Man I wish I had your energy! I have 3 rooms that seriously need painting,  highest= 392 preop= 344 Last Week=270  this week=266

Hi Marge, Thanks for opening the scale.  I'm glad to have you back with the weigh in.  PJ was awesome at filling in, but no one can "take your place". This past week, I had my 1 year check up with my surgeon, and with my PCP.  Things are going great, and I feel good. I went out this week and did something that is totally out of character for me -- I bought a dress - a kind of fancy dress, for an event, and I got high heel shoes as well!  The dress is sleeveless, and it's red.  I feel very fancy and pretty wearing it.  Our church is having a Valentine Date Night, and I'm the person planning the event, so I needed something suitable to wear.  For once, I'm really looking forward to dressing up.  The dress is a size 12, and it fits so nice!  I cannot even remember being this small! Here is my info for the 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: 195
Today: 194   At one point, I had hit 193.6 -- I hope to see that again soon!  I would love to be below 190, but this week, both of my doctors said that I am essentially at goal - neither wants me below 185 because of my body fat percentage.  They don't want it to go too low, and have me be at risk for the fat soluable vitamins and hormones.  Both called me bony, and I guess I will have to be content at a size 10 - 12.  I feel like I'm pretty much done with the losing, except for the extra skin, and that is a strange feeling.  Also, it is odd that for the first time in my life, I do not have a doctor telling me to lose more weight - I'm just not used to that!  Valentine's week, to me, means lots of extra time to spend letting my wonderful husband know how much I love and treasure him.  I'm blessed to be married to him!
