Weekly Check-In: POSITIVITY required!

Thanks Patti ... glad to be back.. I mssed all of you

huggs....

Very happy to see you back!  And great job with the weight loss, even with all you have been through!

I've really missed seeing your posts and smile Teresa.  You have done well despite so many obstacles and are an inspiration to us all. 

Glad to see that you are doing better.  Just do what you can and don't overdo.  I've had to be careful of that with having breast reduction/breast lift on June 10th.  One of the side effects were some incisions that didn't want to close and I didn't want to risk them not healing.  Also, it has been soooo hot and humid and had my 2 year labs done and found out I was anemic, protein deficient and Vitamin D deficient.  I'm starting to feel better and my gym membership is being reactivated next week. 

Huggs and positivity (I think that could be a word--sounds good to me).

Thanks Sylvie...

I am hanging in there.. The weight loss is slow now but thats ok  I am just thankful through all this not to be gaining.. I am off the walker now and using a cane.. yippee... I am trudging along and keeping the prayers going..

I am hopeful to regain all my losses in use of the leg and also of my back. I am also praying for relief of pain in the back that radiates down the leg and now seems to also be running down the other leg too at times...

I am keeping you in my prayers for your healing.. you are such an encouragement to me and I am wishing nothing but the best for you.  You have been there all along to help me through some rough times and I am so appreciative of that.. you are a great friend..you keep up the good work ..it sounds like you are on the way to mending and moving on.. You do what ever it takes to get healed and healthy..

huggs.....

         I had a nice loss to post than TOM came and I am up 3 lbs.   But I won't dwell on it.  It's all good.  I have been letting that old scale dictate how I am feeling and that is an eating disorder in my book--And I am on way to recovery from all that icky, self-destructive behavior.  So, I am happy today even if I am back in the 240's.  I look at the big picture of how far I have come and how I am learning to obsess about food less and embrace life more.
Thanks all!

Welcome Back Teresa!  I have been missing your posts.  Glad you are on the mend!

Highest Weight - 400
Starting Weight - 354
Last week - 251.2
This week - 250

Keeping with the positivity theme...I fit in my bathtub with ROOM to spare!

I was down to 249 on Saturday and Sunday...of course on weigh in day I am up to 250 even...

Drinking lots of water and planning on going for a walk tonight!

Have a great week everyone.

 I have decided that I need OH back in my life.  Not that I have strayed and found myself gaining, but instead I strayed and found myself forgetting.  I don't want to forget what the two years of losing was like and OH played a large role in those two years.  As a means of remembering, I need to reconnect.  

Highest Recorded Weight - 460
Weight at beginning of WLS surgery process - 443.5
Weight at Surgery - 410 (i think)
Weight at plastics - 206
Weight after plastics - 180
Lowest weight - 168.5
Today's weight 173.5

I am at the higher end of the 5 to 7 lbs I play with.  Got to do better because I like being in the 160s.

Hi Sweetie! Glad to see you back here. I knew you have done fabulously, but 460 to 170?



I think I'm finally ready.

 I never expected this success. The whole experience has been surreal.

I am taking a bi-week on the weigh in thingie this week.  I am having a rough week.  I wound up having a nasty little thing called a punch biopsy at the dermatologists office on Saturday. So I wound up with stitches in my lower left leg/right below knee cap area. Stupid lower leg and foot is swelling on me a bit and I'm not walking so well. Overall I am just not a happy little girl...Sunday night I ate a small tub of pistachios, which so helped my swelling...@@ and today while I worked to remove a virus off one of the other computers in the house I ate like entirely to many protein bars :(

Hoping tomorrow is a better day, and that this week turns out to be a better week...Because I just so am not feeling it at the moment. I haven't felt this I guess out of sorts since about May...

Oh, um POSITIVITY - My blood sugars are pretty much to a point where they are 'under control' IMO [I'll see in two weeks if my Endo agrees...]. And after the procedure on Saturday, I actually had an icky episode of low blood sugar. So hopefully that means I should heal well.  Not bad, considering my BS baseline back in May was about 350 steady.

Congrats to all the Losers this week :)  Good Job!!
