what's new WEDNESDAY?
Janet, Sounds as if the landing pad is clear for action, Sooooo, what's cha up to Top Producer. You need to add the T&L Trip out west to your memory banks, That was one( H ) of a good time trip.
Hey Janet, If you do decide to have a Lil' nip, Ya want the sisters to come take care of you. Naaa, You would need to rest and resting would be hard to do with a bunch of us together. We could give you a couple of months to recover and then go play.
Sending smiles your way sweet lady, Peg

Hi Annette and all,
Just sitting here on the porch doing my usual. Going to go up and walk on the treadmill.
I just have to say, I am getting FRUSTRATED! Back to going up and down wth the same 2 lbs. I guess I'm done losing weight! This has been the same for the past 3 months or so....I just don't get it. I thought I had broken through to a new number that would go up and down for a while then stablize but nope...I really am happy at this weight but I did for ONCE want to get to a GOAL! I will keep walking and eating like I should and maybe one of these days.....Thanks for listening....
Not much new...husbands last class for a while so will have him back for a bit...we just went down the alley for our usual Mexican dinner for our anniversary and will have nice picnic this weekend to celebrate as he had a paper to finish. Did some nice reflections on the past few years and was very nice time.
Talked about me going to the GTG in Oct, he is very supportive but I looked up the ticket prices and am thinking it prob is too much $ for us right now...thanks for all the info everyone...I am still rolling it around in my pea-brain.
Well, best get up to walk on the treadmill and get ready for work. I endend up walking on it for over an hour last night!
Have a good Wednesday!

Hi Cheryl,
Reading your post and while I can understand your frustration, as I am not even near goal yet, and battle the stalls of WLS, I just wanted to point out something that perhaps you have not thought of. . . 3 lbs from goal? For me, while my ticker says I want to be at 130 something, I have stated that I will re-evaluate that when I get to 150#'s, largely because I know I will have somewhere between 10 and 15 lbs. of excess skin due to my years of obesity, not to mention that lean muscle is denser than fat, so consider those items. . . Also, it is summertime, tendency is for our bodies to hold water more due to weather conditions. There is a woman on my home board, who has lost over 255#'s, she is over 2 years out, she is not at goal yet, and continues to lose, she touts changing up what we eat, making sure that we keep our fats and carbs aligned and changing up your exercise regime, as our bodies are always looking for new ways to cling onto our fat. . . hope this of some help to you and cheers on being at or near maintenance. . . You have accomplished so much, enjoy the rewards of your hard work!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

Hi Laureen,
You are soooo right with all you said. I am playing mind games with myself. I am soooo happy at this weight and to have lost what I have lost. I had been so fat for so long I have this idea that surfaces every so often that if I don't get to "the goal" that means I won't succeed. I had a Dr. tell me once years ago after I had done Nutri System and lost 50 lbs that "you will never see 130lbs" I had gotten to about 138 and he asked what my goal was and I said something like 125 (I was 26 at the time) he said "oh, you'll never see 130." so, I sure showed him and gained it all back + more!
I know I am what is considered a "lightweight" but at 5' 210, I was in size 22 and 2x and was miserable and am soooooo thrilled now to be 132-134 lbs! I haven't weighed this in over 30 years!
I get so scared sometimes that I will get to that size again. I was going up up up and would of been even rounder by now had it not been for WLS.
So thank you Laureen for the reality check. I am so thankful for this WLS and for all of you guys here! I will keep what you said in mind.
Hug back at ya!

Thanks, Judy,
You're right, I get a little silly sometimes. Playing some mind games with myself. I am so very happy to be where I am. Hey, I just got home and saw briefly something about you getting a job??!!!! Let me go read... and see what happened with you! Congrates ahead of time, I think.

Good Morning Annette and friends,
I am still in the waking up process and recopuping from our road trip. It's amazing to me that during the trip I was able to keep up with Carla
, but boy did it hit me when I got home. Do you think when i loose more the energy level won't bottom out?
Anyway, Carla and I were hurrying to get back here yesterday for my 1:30 consult with the pulmonologist about having a sleep study done, and fighting construction and detours along the way ( it took 3 months for me to get that appt). mY hubby calls at 11:30 to tell my that they canceled my appointment
(2nd cancel) Apparently my endocrinologist was supposed to have me have the sleep study first and then see the pulmonologist!! So now I have to wait for the paper referral so I can call the hospital and scehdulet he sleep studay and after that call and reschedule with the pulmonologist Delays, delays and more. Originally I thought I'd have my RNY in August, then Sept, then Oct, then Nov......now who knows hopefully before Christmas. BTW they haven't even submitted to the insurance co for approval tand won't until everything is done.
Do you think then I'kll have lost too much weight and won't be able to have the surgery? No bp meds now bp is 90/58. No cholesterol meds now that is 189. I know these things all make a healthier me but I am back to being afraid I won;t meet the criteria to have the wls and will never get normal or will gain this back...
I'm sorry gotta go and cry... Hugs, Paulette
