Monday 911, 611, 411 - BOTT

Hi BOTTers,

My 411 (information) - I had a really nice weekend.  I worked a little bit but the best part was that the weather was horrible with snow, ice and rain on Saturday and Sunday.  Sounds bad, right??  The weather was bad forcing us to stay in.  We watched movies Saturday and Sunday together as a family.  It was wonderful!!!  I had such a wonderful time and my heart feels very full. 

So feeling very rejuvenated from my special family time not doing anything but being together, and with a very full heart, I'm ready for the week!

BOTT POWER!

Feeling a little down this morning. The scale is up 5 lbs this morning. I know what it is though. I've had problems munching at night PLUS, I had some pizza and some chinese food this weekend. I just have to get down to business this week. Gonna up my water and try some exercise this week.

Hopefully this is my last week on nights!!!! I'm going to be able to get into a routine of exercise. I'm making some progress in what I'm doing and eating so I'm not going to beat myself up too much!

I'm up for the challenge this week!!! I've done it before and will do it again!

BOTT POWER!!!

Hi all ~

Sounds lilke a perfect weekend Cathy!

I had a fabulous week socializing and pushing the limit (and obviously beyond as my scale is up a pound!!) of being BOT.  I also was in a remote wooded area w/o good internet connection so couldn't stay accountable with the BOTT support group.  I do so well right now when I stay in the safety of my own kitchen and limit temptations.  BUT I need to live my life with friends and family as well so just have to get stronger about the triggers and sense of what works for me (NO -  adding calories above my 800-1000 range DOES NOT stimulate my metabolism!!!!  DARN!!!!!)

So, another day begins and I'll get back on track and focused.   Very full schedule for the next couple of days.    Wed. is a travel day - I'm flying to visit friends in MI for a nice long visit AND where I will have a whole new set of tempations along with a great support system.  Thus is life....

Hang in there Janie - I feel your struggle

Hi Cathy and fellow BOTT'ers.

It was a quiet weekend for me. Rented and watched 2012 yesterday.

Today I went to see my WLS for my monthly appointment. I was so happy to see that I lost 7 pounds since my last visit a month ago. He was so pleased too. The scale is the enemy though, as Saturday I was up a half a pound so I didn't go to weigh****chers.

My doc told me to keep up with my eating plan and exercise with the trainer. I'm going to see him in a month. I did tell him though that I was looking into revision surgery - just researching at this point. I'm giving BOTT 6 months to see how I do.

I was so hungry because I didn't eat any breakfast or drink anything until my appointment. Now after a good lunch, I feel satisfied.

Here's to another successful BOTT week.

Keep up the good work Lucy!!!

It feels so good....

Hello Everyone,

My  411 is I feel good about BOTT and my reconnection to OH.com.  This month since my reconnection I have lost 14 pounds and I am still on my high. Makes me continue to make better choices thru out the day and exercise is a must.  I even lost a pound over the weekend too.  Weekends are usually bad eating days for me but with the help of OH.com I was able to remain mindful and make good healthy choices.  Saw a good play Saturday and brought my own snacks vs. their high calories and expensive snacks.   BOTT power really works!!   Thank you all for your continued support!
