Hi Everyone,

I apologize for posting late, I didn't have any free time at work today to post. The days have just been flying by. Only 1 more week of the challenge left! I hope everyone had a great week. Since finding out about my band, I have lost complete motivation, I'm really trying to get my head back in the game. I have no restriction now so I've really been struggling. I gained 2 pounds..ugh. Since I posted so late I may wait until Thursday to post the results. Keep up the great work everyone! Thanks.

Hi Ash,

I think I started the challenge at 158.
Today I was 155 on the scale.

The tummy tuck went well, and he took off 3.8 pounds of skin, but there is swelling.

I would love to settle in at 150 and maintain with 3 pounds of that.

Thanks for the challenge!!!!

Kath,
How are you feeling?? Going pee it the worst(OK, squatting down). LOL (and those drains). Since you are posting you must be doing pretty good. Congrats!!

Mari Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!

Hi, Mari,

Well, no drains for me.
My surgeon uses progressive tension suturing..and it is a drain less process.

I feel pretty good...got dressed and got my shoes on today all by myself......and walked around the block to get the mail.

Squatting has not been too tough. The worst part is turning side to side.

I am so glad to be on is side of it.

No drains, WOW, that must be great. It really sounds like you are doing wonderful, good for you! Are you still hunched over or walking pretty straight, now?

I didn't lose anything this week. I did not exercise as much as I usually do and ate a lot of salty things. Lesson learned (who knew that 3 TBS of sunflower seeds have 190 calories, YIKES)
Hope things get better soon for you Ashley!!

Ashley,

So sorry about your band...

No loss for me this week either. Luckily no gain either which surprises me somewhat since it has been a crazy week!
