angie?

did you catch that I ent in and weighed up yesterday?  Down one pound! 184 ending weight for the July 4 challenge!!!!  I wi**** were more, but hey.  I think I get it that I am losing about a half pound a week, or roughly 2# monthly. I'll set more realistic goals. 12 pounds lost since februrary with WW!

Morning Neecee! Yeah I caught that just haven't had a chance to update my chart yet!  You are doing so great....and as you know it gets harder as you go along.  I went back to the doctor yesterday, I'm down 1 lousy lb. On a side note, I went to a WLS seminar Tuesday night but wasn't too impressed. I have done my research and decided that the LapBand is the surgery that I want to pursue and he kinda discounted it in his seminar, so now I have more homework to do to find a surgeon *****ally beleives in the surgery that they are performing. You keep up the good work, you have been such an inspiration to all of us and we can always count on you to slap us back into reality when we get crazy.....LOL!

Surgeons, understandably, get discouraged when they see people who do not follow their instructions.  you are far above their typical patient cuz you have proven that you have good habits in place BEFORE surgery! Some of these posers show up to those seminars and everybody knows by their gray skin they have not seen the light of day for ten years let alone ate one item less than 60g of sat fat every day. Their blood cholesterol was practically oozing out of their eyes. The wls seminar I attended was an education in itself. I realized lots of things...that 75% of the people there were going to fail...hmmm...just exactly like the statistics already prove. They were smoking, had already suffered terrible repercussions from their crappy YEARS of abuse to their bodies. Most of them appeared even to me that if they made it thru the surgery it would be a miracle right there.  Conversely, the other 25% of the fat people there one could see had clear skin, eyes, they were simply fat. I knew i never wanted to get to *that place*, with or without surgery.  Thanks for the kind words...love you guys!

Neecee – You have my admiration for your tenacity.  It’s difficult holding on even when you’re losing weight at a reasonably fast clip, but when you’re a slow loser it has to be doubly difficult to keep on pushing.  That’s one of the reasons, maybe the main reason, why so many people rush towards WLS.  Most people don’t want to wait, and have very little patience.  It may have taken them 20 years to gain all their excess baggage, but they want it off quick, fast and in a hurry.  You have the right attitude, and although it may take you a little longer than some, I have no doubt you will reach your final destination.

You have done great Neecee.  I know my loss is slowing and keeping me right around 200 pounds.  I will be weighing on the 3rd at my doctor's office.  That's my official scale.  I need every day I can get.  Your a little premature.  Is it because you only weigh once a week?  Either way you are an inspiration and a cute little fiesty thing. 

(((smoooooch))))

Neecee, I think your doing a great job!!!!  I cant wait till the day when i can say iam  under 200 pounds,   Keep up the good work!!    Delilah
