One week in...10lbs gone

I am just singing the praises of BOTT! You girls are such an encouragement and support. I'm sticking with my BOT plan for a week and i'm down 10lbs. One day at a time. Going back to the nutritionist and weighing then having my labs drawn was the best thing I could have done. It really opened my eyes as to what we are all doing here. We made a choice to have the surgery, now we have to make the choice to follow the program!

Journaling has helped me to get my days and nights figured out since I work 7pm to 7 am 3 nights a week. It's also helped me to wake up and pay attention to what I'm eating instead of just mindless eating.

I just wanted to say THANKS to you all and tell everyone to keep up the good work! It's one day at a time!

Janie

Congratulations !   Doesn't being BOTT feel great !

Hey Janie,

Congratulations - WAY TO GO!!  10 pounds is wonderful. 

You are sooooo right - one day at a time (or one hour, minute, etc.) and we always have a choice in what we do or don't eat.  We have to make the choice to use our surgical tool.

Thanks to you too for your posts and support.  I LOVE BOTT!

BOTT POWER,
Cathy

Good morning Janie!

WOW, 10 pounds in one week. You are the BOTT Queen!!

I used to work the night shift, 11-7 in the hospital and that screwed up my eating big time. So kudos to you girl!!

Yes, journaling sure helps a lot to see what we are eating, how much and when.

Thank you for sharing your success and words of wisdom. Praise BOTT!!! Thanks Cathy and Kathy for coordinating this group.

Have a wonderful day Janie.

Keep smiling!

WOW!!!!!  What a great reward for all of your consistency!!!!  Thanks for sharing Janie and keep up the great work (and helping us to keep up our's!).  YES - BOTT feels great!  Thanks all :-)

I concur! Bravo on losing that 10 pounds!  That's exciting. 

Wow - you are an inspiration, girl!!!!! Way to go Queen BOTT!!!

That is so wonderful! Congratulations!!

I have been lurking on this site and never posted. I have been BOTT with my eating since March 3. I started working out 3 times a week on the 15th.

I don't know how much I have lost and will probably not weigh until April 3. The scales are my enemy and I have to avoid them.

All of the success and support I see on this group are so encouraging. It is so wonderful to read stories that are the same as your own.

My goal is to lose 30 pounds and keep it off. Reading your story gives me hope.

Thanks and keep posting and keep on staying on track.
