Gads, Last Friday I was 147.4 lbs.  Monday I was 149.4 lbs.  Today, Wednesday April 14th I'm 148.4lbs.  Haven not made any progress in the last two months and getting very frustrated.  The closer to goal you get, the harder this is.  My overall goal is:  125 lbs.  By May 31st  I'd love to be at 139 lbs, but just don't know at this point if that is realistic or not.  Especially since I have a weeks vacation to Cape Code during that time period!  But perhaps with your help Karrie, and with the help of others it may be possible. 

I believe my non-scale goal should be writing down and calculating every calorie that goes into my mouth!  I think that's the only logical way I'm going to be able to keep track of what goes in and what comes out - ha ha ha

And, tracking my protein count better, and getting back to exercising.

Starting weight 320
goal weight 313
Non Scale Goal is to get to Gym 3 days a week.

I hope you get a chance to make it one of these days. 

I wish I could have made it. I keep seeing all these wonderful posts and wish I could see everyone face to face. Maybe next time!

For those of you who didn't attend, Just a few notes from today's get together at the Bear in Federal way.

In attendance:  
Karrie (band)
Donna (RNY)
Della's mom (support)
Della (RNY)
Leann (band)
Bonnie (VSG) and her husband (sorry don't remember his name). 
Brenda and Jeff (both pre-RNY)

So, we finally had 2 guys which was nice.  

We played a small get to know you game called two truths and a lie.   Each person listed three items, two being true and one a lie and then we guessed which were true.  

Some interesting things I learned,  Donna was chased by the Mafia (still waiting for whole story).   Leann was born in Yosemite park, Della has two Bachelor's degrees... there were many more, this just gives you a flavor.

I also shared that Vitalady told me she does 6 protein shakes a day and from her experience, the more protein people do the more they loose.   Interesting thing to know and try.

We also discussed if we are afraid of success and why we sabotage ourselves when we approach goal weight.   Some thoughts were to hide from responsibilities, many admitted we used our weight to make ourselves unattractive to the opposite sex.   We started to have some good conversation on this topic.   I would welcome any additional comments and thoughts on that topic in this discussion thread, please post your thoughts. 

Also, anyone else who attended, please post anything you learned today or what  you got out of the gathering.
