Weekly Checkiin: Regulars and Lurkers Welcome!!
Happy Monday from the Happiest Place on Earth! 
We're at Disneyland, so I haven't found a way to weigh myself. (I'll post on Wednesday, after we're home.)
I'm so thankful my WLS sis is with us. We've been splitting entrees when we go out to eat. Yesterday we split a Cobb Salad. It was huge, but I think we got all of the protein out of it. I hate going places where they only serve huge portions, it can be such a waste of food. We split a platter at the Rainforest Cafe yesterday -- and there was still half a plate of food leftover.
Right now we're trying to figure out breakfast. There seem to be mostly buffets here. Sheesh. We'll survive.
Everyone have a great week!!

I am so jealous Patti! We are going to Disney World in June...can't wait!
I only lost 2 lbs this week and I think it might have to do with my thyroid medicine. I have been out of it this past week and haven't gotten it filled. Does anyone know if that would slow down my weight loss. I didn't eat anything different....I am going to take up my water and protein this week and get my thyroid pill filled and see if it helps.
I feel like I am really slowing down. But this is 60 lbs in just over 3 months...guess I shouldn't be fussing...
Hope everyone has a good week!

Sounds like you are doing well with the food - so hard on the road! Splitting is the answer, isn't it?
I'll be posting my weight tomorrow, since my weigh in is Tuesdays. Have a good time there.

Patti, I hope your time at Disney is packed with fun and laughs! Sounds like you've found a way to beat the American problem with huge portions! I can't wait to hear how you solved the breakfast buffet dilema. These are problems we all have or will face! I will weigh on Friday, so I'll check in then. But, I did manage to post new pics over the weekend (and I've updated my avitar) since I've reached my half way point in my weight loss! Another milestone !!! Have lots of fun sweetie! connie

Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!
Two years after that....
I could not be happier.
It sounds like you are really enjoying yourself... you deserve it.. enjoy every moment.. you have met a goal to take your daughter to Disneyland.. hip hip hurrah..
looks like you have the food situation in check.. good planning to split the meals.. I am sure you will solve the breakfast buffet too.. Kudos to you for sticking to the plan while on vacation.. yep the portions are huge, thats why most of America is huge...no one knows what a normal portions is any more..
well I didnt have as good a week as last week but I still lost so I guess that is ok.. so confusing when nothing changes except the numbers on the scale dont change the same way.. I havent measured.. I try to only do that once a month.. so maybe I am loosing inches again.. yea thats right loosing inches.. I'll keep thinking that to make the slow weight loss seem ok.. lol...

That's where I want to go someday. Always wanted to as a kid ......my kids are grown and I still want to go. Today is 3 weeks post op for me; went to doctor because one incision is not healing properly. Got it cleaned and it feels better already.
