MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Personally I prefer a recreation center or gym just because you have more options - classes, pool, aerobic machines, weight machines, racquetball, etc.  Currently I am in a small gym that I like a lot, even though there is no pool or classes - its a nice place and not intimidating like my previous gym was.  A lot of people really do like Curves though, and a close friend of mine who is about 2 years post-op now lost almost 300 lbs with surgery and Curves, and is maintaining well with Curves. 

AAWW MICHELLE,      THE MEMORIES OF FRIED ICECREAM..... ******IC I TELL YA! YOU ALSO DONE GREAT THIS WEEK.. WHAT IS IT WITH THREE POUNDS THIS WEEK??? LOL ALOT OF THREES  OUT THERE THIS TIME AROUND... KEEP IT UP.. HUGS MARGE

Last week was really good for me.  I was struggling with teeny-tiny, 1/2 pound weight losses in a week for about 6 weeks and really frustrated because I was eating properly and taking vitamins and working out and getting all water in.  Anyway, the rollercoaster ride is still fun no matter what! Surgery:  371 Last Thursday:  297.5 This morning:  293.5 4 pound loss

I went through that too....it is frustrating but the end result is if you keep focused and do what you are supposed to...the scale will turn around & reward you eventually.  You have an impressive success story going here....keep it up!  HUGS  Jeanine

WTG!  I had a 4lb loss as of yesterday too, and it was the best loss I've had in months.  Today I was .8lbs heavier though, sigh. 

HEY KATHY,         AINT IT FUNNY HOW SOMETIMES IT CAN BE SUCH AN UPHILL STRUGGLE TO JUST LOSE EVEN A HALF POUND? AND NOW LOOK AT YA! FOUR FREAKIN POUNDS!! WHO HOO! KEEP IT UP.. HUGS MARGE

Good morning, Marge.  Weather has been wonky here too - it snowed a little yesterday and was only 33 degrees when I was heading to work this morning.  But at least the sun is out - thank goodness for small miracles.  Anyway, here's what the scale had to say today -

Beginning weight - 396
Surgery weight - 386
Last week - 190.2
Today - 189.5

I was at 190.something all of last week - my body seems to like this weight range.  I'm hoping to get myself back down into the low 180's and maintain there, but we'll see what this tired old body wants to do...

I TELL YA, THIS WEATHER MAKES YA NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.. WORK IN THE YARD OR JUST HIBERNATE. GIRL, MY BODY IS WAY PAST TIRED SOMEDAYS LOL.... I SAY IT WILL STOP AND STAY WHERE IT FEELS GOOD AT.... ONE POUND!! WHO HOO... I KNOW WHEN YA GET TO THAT SIZE ITS UPHILL ALL THE WAY BY THE OLE TEETH... HUGS MARGE

Happy Monday to you Marge.  How dare you be human???  It took 2 years to try pizza?? Hell...it wasn't that long for me LOL!  You are a champ!  You didn't mention how much you were able to eat, but I bet it was alot less than BEFORE WLS, right?  Anyway...I have tried Kashi frozen thin crust Mushroom & Spinach Trio pizza. Its really good (could only eat 2 tiny pieces) but it cured the craving and its good for you. I don't know when  I will have the urge/courage to try pizzaria style. LOL You have done remarkable...I can't imagine treating yourself once in awhile will do serious harm. My prediction is by next week you'll be back at 150!  I had a better week.  I vowed this week to not snack in the evening. I was hoping for a better loss, but I realize it may slow down now as I 5 months out as of yesterday. Hard to believe.  I did have some 99% FF popcorn Sat. night while watching a DVD...but 6 nights out of 7 I was good!  3 1/2 pounds till the Century Club and my DH's surprise he has for me!    HUGS  Jeanine Beginning Weight:  284 Surgery Weight:  252 Last Week:  191 This Week:  187 1/2   (Eighties)  Yeeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

WE USED TO HAVE DOMINOES AND PIZZA HUT ON SPEED DIAL BEFORE WLS. LOL.... BUT THANK GOODNESS THERES SO MUCH MORE OUT THERE FOR THE CRAVINGS WHEN IT COMES TO THAT... WHAT A GOOD WEEK YOU HAD...
