Almost there

Hi girls..

I am still weighing every day becasue I am so close to the 100lbs lost mark.. yesterday I was a little down because I had lost to 207 during the middle of the week and I was back up to 208.. but today when I stepped on the scale it is now 205.. I started at 303 so I only have 2 lbs to go..

.. I do my official weigh in tomorrow at my 3 month check up, but I bet it will be higher because of clothes.. wonder if anyone ever suggested hospital gowns to weigh in..lol... I would be willing.. especailly in the winter when you clothes are heavy.. so anyway I am nervou about the weigh in there. but I have to go by my home scale becasue that is where I weigh most of the time and are keeping track of my changes..

I will write tomorrow night if I dont get home to late and let you know what my official weigh in was.. and how my doctor acted this time.. if he tells me I need to exercize more again I am going to scream.. I am doing Wii fit for an hour and on opposite days do Wii Just Dance and 10 minutes on the treadmill 2x a day.. and there have been times I do the Wii fit 2x a day every day.. I also have been doing the ball exercises.. . it just depends on how I feel that day with my back.. when the weather breaks I can start walking outside.. I can't wait..

I just had to share... I am really getting excited.. so close... JUST 2lbs..

huggs..

 Teresa,

Be sure to get back with all of us about your visit.  Send me a PM on the details, I know you will do just great.  

Hugs,
Teresa B

Ooooh, you are so close!!  Keep it up!  And goodness, you're almost in onederland as well! 

As for the Dr. visit, plan to weight light clothes or layers.  I wore the lightest pair of pants I had.  Then I wore a cami, but put a jacket over it - it was easy to pop off my jacket and my slip on shoes right before getting on the scale.  It still weighed me about 6 lbs heavier than my home scale, but I don't care - I follow my home scale ;) 

Hope your appt goes well... don't let 'em get you down about the exercise - sounds like you're doing amazing work there! 

Thanks Michelle...
 
Its funny you should say that.. I spent all afternoon in the closet trying on clothes and running to the scale.    I found the lightest pair of pants I had and a travel knit wrinkle free top, both are light weight.. We will have the heat on in the car and I only have to go from car to the clinic door so I will be fine.. I am wearing slip on shoes too so I can slip them off..  I only found one other outfit that weighed less and it was Capri pant and a sleeveless top.. summer outfit.. so I couldn't do that.. but I will do just fine with this one.. I am going to go by my home scale too.. that is the one I will be going by for the next three months.. I am not going to drive 4 hours to weigh..lol...
so I am not going to worry too much what the scale says there.. I just am hoping the doctor don't pipe off to me because I might just pipe off back.. I am doing all I can do on the exercise.. I have handicap plates even on my car because of my back and if I hurt it I will be out of commission for a long time and then I really wont loose.. I am trying to do all I can do and not hurt it.. I guess it just makes me mad because my original surgeon knew all about me and my back and how much I weighed when I started all this and this guy only knows me from 2 visits before surgery and is too busy to go back and look at the old records.. so I feel like he don't know what my situation is and as my surgeon he should.. ok I whining now so I will stop..

I appreciate your kinds words and advice.. you guys have really kept me up in spirits and really seem to care and I really value that.. I can't tell you how much all that means to me..

I am so close I could just pop with pride... I know it wont be long to hit that 100 mark and then into onderland and that makes me feel like all this is worth every minute of hard work.. and makes me proud of what I have accomplished..

I will let you guys know what happens tomorrow.. wish me luck and pray I don't slug the doctor.. lol...

Huggs.....

I hope you've got good news today, and BTW I wear a thin T-shirt, flip flops, and shorts to every doc visit- the nurses always laugh at me...but I don't care I want my real weight not the weight of my clothes!

I got great news.. I weighed in at 203 lbs.. that is 100lb from the 303 I started at.. I couldn't believe it.. even with my clothes on and at 5pm in the afternoon.. I was so shocked but I was so happy I actually did a happy dance right there in the office.. the nurses were laughing at me.. I didn't even realize I was doing it until one nurse told my hubby he should get a picture of me doing the happy dance.. lol...

I wore very thin pants and a travel knit top that weighs nothing and of course I took off my shoes.. I threatened to wear shorts and a tank top and wear heavy clothes over them and go into the bathroom and take them off before weighing.. but I thought that a little.. little mind you obsessive with the scale so I didn't.. but boy was I tempted ..lol..

Thanks for asking.. sorry it took so long to answer.... The appt was at 4:45... the doctor did not get there until 5:45 and I didn't get out of there until 6:45.. we stopped and got Wendy's chili and that took some time..then a four hour drive home. didn't get home until 11:30 that night and today I had my 1 year old grandson from 7am to 7pm.  whew I am exhausted..

I MADE IT ... 100 lbs gone forever... yippee.....

huggs..

Congratulations!!!!  and keep up the good work.  As long as the scale is not going up 4 pounds it could be sal****er, no bowel movement.  Just keep weighing yourself every day.  The scale is your friend.

Thanks Molly.. I am trying to do all I know to do and do it the right way.. .. I was weighing everyday since I was so close to the 100lb mark and so close to onderland but it backfired.. .. I was at 203 Monday and Tueaday then Tuesday afternoon I got my depo provera birth control injection.. it was due the past Thursday but I forgot about it.. anyway I got up Wednesday morning and the scale said 208.. that is 5 lbs overnight.. I did not do anything different but the shot.. it has to be water weight.. I am so down in the dumps over it.. I tried all week to work it off but to no avail.. I am still at 208..  I dont feel like the scale is my friend now.. I am going to just weigh on Mondays till this passes.. I cant even get my wedding rings off.. I am blowed up like a tick..

huggs,,,

It was the shot Teresa.  Hang in there you are doing great!!

Thanks Molly.. I know the shot is what did it but now I cant figure out how to undo it.. I guess I just have to wait it out until my body says its ok to loose again.. I am trying to hang in there... I will never give up.. I just wish I had never started the Depo Provera again.. I had stopped it a whole year and in 2007 I started it again.. I never dreamed it would effect my weight loss. but I guess I should have known because it played a big part in my weight gain..

thanks for the kind words.. they go a long way..
