Monday weight in
LW 322.4
TW 320
-2.4
This is good, I have to admit, but a bit disappointed since yesterday I was 318. The humidity is back in Toronto, so is my swelling and my water retention! At least, I do know it is not a fat gain, only water and swelling! I am seriously thinking of moving to Antartica for the time needed to lose my weight hahahaha!
Hope you are all doing great!

Well it was three days off with bad behavior and a few drinks that did it this past week. Friday was: "how much bread, butter and honey can Kat eat and not explode?" follow by "how much vomiting can Kat do?" resulting in 2 liters of fluid yesterday. I havent run since Thursday and felt like abdolute crap after carbpalloza. So back in the saddle since yesterday, going to run on the treadmill as soon as I am done with this. Lesson learned -and no fre****alian bread allowed in the house until I get better control. I NEVER eat white bread and only whole wheat bread occasionally. Not entirely sure what happend but will do some emotional digging to see if there was a trigger, or was the bread a trigger. Hmmm, either way I am going to have a great, but VERY busy week!! Hope everyone has a good Monday and wonderful week.

I had a good week! Not sure quite how this happened because I didn't get much exercise in last week, especially compared to the week before, but I'll take it! I'm guessing my body is gearing up for a major stall because I haven't had a major one since 2 weeks post op. I'll survive it though

Hello everyone and yes I am back from France. Made it back safe and sound!
Today weight 245 lbs. I am very very happy with this weight. While in France I was going to be good and do all the right things. But a few days before the honeymoon I had a heart to heart with myself and decided that I was going to enjoy what came, with moderation to not be sick,but that I would enjoy what came with family and new friends I would be meeting. Again, just not be sick from food or drinks. It went extremely well! I ENJOYED MYSELF IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!! NO REGRETS!! And really only a one pound gain. I know that I walked a lot every day, swam, and stayed continuously busy from early morning until late night! I felt like I was always eating or drinking.... And in France the wines are a staple along with cheese. Lol. Again, enjoyed myself with in the limits to not being or feeling sick.
I really was not so sure I wanted to step onto the scale, and I feel good and I enjoyed the heck out of all of the countrys I got to visit. We went to London, France, and Switzerland as planned. Also ended up getting to go to Spainand Italy. It was a fabulous trip!!
I did things that I KNOW I WOULD HAVE NEVER GOTTEN TO DO HAD I HAVE STILL BEEN 654 lbs. I DO NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED AND I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN MY LIFE AND THAT ARE HAPPENING IN MY LIFE.
I have to say, they call Paris the city of LOVE, BUT I also call it the city of stairs. Every block, nook, and cranny seemed to have stairs. All the bathrooms were with either upstairs or downstairs... And not little flights of stairs. It was all great though. The villages and castle were all full of great stairs. Hills and mountain look outs. This must be why the French stay so thin... Lol.
Flew 5 airline flights and no more seatbelt extenders, I fit in the bathrooms, and the tables came down and could actually use it. I was so exstatic to fligh it was a NSV's time for me the whole trip!! When I felt tired and worn I would pull from inside of me the great strides to have come so far and soon enough I would be running the race again and winning!! I had a suitcase nearly 50 lbs and a carry on suitcase about 30 pounds. When I had to pick them up and carry them I wondered why I packed somuch...lol but I could carry them when needed. We had long bouts to walk to get to the many gates we had to be at, at the airports. Customs and all that stuff was so much easier to deal with. I just had hard times but such awe times when I would think about the fact that nearly almost 2 years ago I could barely go 5ft to the bathroom from my bed, and that was with the assistance of my power chair. WOW, I am the same Sherrie, but like in a whole new body.
Ok, so I will post some more later. Went out to the car, and someone apparently tried to hot wire our car while we were gone and they did not get it, but left two wires touching each other and so now no power to the car. Strange that they did not take anything or part it out. Just managed to get a window down and tried to hot wire. Still a head ache for me now. Thank God again that I have my legs to use and a bike a d bus. I tell you, I take nothing for granted!
I will post pictures, sometime this week I hope. Have a super busy schedule and I have to get the laptop out to be able to post pictures to here as my iPad is not able to post pictures here. It is limited.
Welcome to all of you newbies to the over 50 BMI FORUM!! I have read some newer posts and wanted to post replies. I may get the chance later but all of the posts are great, they remind us, teach us, inspire us, keep us focussed, or well you get what I am saying. They do not go unread. It is our posts and responses that makes this forum work. We are a great forum, we are all human, and with respect and caring with honesty and thought, this will continue to be a forum to come to!!
Hugs to you all and thank you for making this the best forum it is!!
Never lose sight of your goal. Mine is life long! There is no magic end to my weight control! There will always be good days, great day, terriable days, or bad days. Days or doubt will come and go. I will trudge on through with the insight to where I have been and never want to be again. Where one day ends another begins. I have to be happy before I can be sad again. There is beauty in every day, lessoned learned, and fights that I know I can win and be victorious in with regards to living life everyday managing my food intake and EXCERSIZE.. It sometimes takes a bit longer but I can conquer. I know this and beleive this. I will never give up like I so practically did before. I am worth every bit of my effort! Close doors and windows that are not so great, move on to new doors and windows as needed. Ok... Enough... I know you understand what I am saying!!
Again, even bigger HUGS!!!!!
Always Sherrie

God bless you, Sherrie. Your last paragraph speaks to my heart today - thank you thank you thank you. This week is the first stumble in 3 1/2 months and it's because I let people who believe carbs are mandatory get into my head that low carb is not sustainable. I'm on day 2 of back to basics but I feel lost. I think I'm just so afraid of failing. I have had a few appointments with the bariatric clinic who will do my surgery but I do not have a date yet. I just really want my health back.
Thank you for being an inspiration.
