Hi~
I'm focusing on what is going well, like you. :)
And just so grateful I'm cleared to drive again. I don't do well in captivity so being able to resume driving was wonderful yesterday.
Thanks!
Meeting my goals hasn't been a problem, but the scales were just stuck. Lost another pound overnight though so I'm beginning to see some change. :)
My trial drive yesterday to Safeway & P.O. went great. 6 miles round trip, tired at the checkout after shopping, but no pain. I'm driving my daughter to work tomorrow, then myself to my follow up with my PCP!
Hi and welcome!
I'm 5 weeks out myself and it took me 9 days after surgery to get back down to my surgery weight. I was on the scale daily for months pre surgery and now post surgery I've had to back off a little as the slow moving numbers were challenging mentally and emotionally. Now I weigh myself a few times a week and record my weight on Mondays only. It's hard not to compare yourself to others but I know I just have to focus on myself and take it one day, one meal at a time. Patience isn't usually my strong suit but I've really pushed myself to look at things more logically than emotionally. It's been helpful to focus more on my accomplishments thus far, my next goal which is only a few pounds away and less on the bigger picture. Good luck with everything!

Hi, welcome to the weekly post!
8 days out I remember how rough that was- I was a slow loser in the beginning so keep at it! That's so great you're hitting your water/protein goals with no problem, that's the key. Just keep doing that and you'll be good.

I'm just 8 days out, but I want to get into the habit of posting here. 
Hitting my water/protein goals with little problem, but only lost 1 pound since my surgery. Was happy to see it this morning though.

I'm with Laura, I didnt talk numbers when I was losing, and still Rarely do. When people would ask I would say "alot" ....
Did I know for sure I would get here in the beginning? No. Mini goals and keep pushing forward, and I said from the beginning, it was my job....

I struggled this week - had a stressful week at work and for the first time since March 2015 turned to food. I ate a huge cookie and the next day at our work potluck I ate more than I should and ate a few sweets. I didn't feel good about it and I gained - I usually only weigh on Mondays but I was concerned so I weighed daily and I gained 2 pounds from eating like that. And I'm glad I did because it showed me that I can't loosen up on my rules. I mean - I did loosen up on vacation and was fine. But I can't do this on a regular basis.
However then I promptly got sick with a cold/flu combo and haven't wanted to eat so I lost the two pounds plus another. Which is not how I want to lose obviously!

I'm home for a day, then away again for a few days. I'm inching closer to my next goal of 278. It would be fun to get there before new year, but I'll be fine if not. Especially considering I won't be home, and will be having a whole other Christmas with my inlaws! And I am happy about this weeks loss considering I was away from home and even though I tracked every bite, I didn't have a scale, or prepare a lot of the meals.
