New Short-Term Goal
My new short-term goal is to lose 23 more pounds by July 26th. There is a little bit of a story as to why I chose such a random date. Last year, on July 26th, I was at my highest weight ever. There was a blackout in the town I live in. I had no candles and no flashlight. I got a call from a life long friend and the next thing I know he showed up at my door with candles AND a flashlight. He stayed at the house talking with me and my daughters until after midnight when the lights finally came back on. Three weeks and 3 days later, we were married! So, if I can lose 23 more pounds by July 26th, I will have lost a total of 100 pounds since that wonderful, blessed night. Wish me luck!!!

So Much Conflicting info
Hey, Sleeve-Twin!! I don't have any different advice from what everyone else has already said. I am a slow loser too. I have only lost 34 pounds since the surgery. I too lose great for a week or two weeks, then lose nothing for a week or two weeks (or three...). I have noticed that I stop losing weight if I let myself stay constipated for very long. Then when I finally get everything moving again, I'll start losing again. I don't know the answers. But I don't let myself get crazy over it. Keep me updated on your progress. And don't let it stress you out too much because the stress can make your body hold onto the weight too. Good luck!!!

blood clots?
When you are awake, get up and walk around for at least 5 minutes about every hour. If you are asleep, REST and don't worry about it!!!

Greek Yogurt
I mix a little pace picante sauce in it and dip pretty much any kind of meat or chicken in it. I use it on my tacos too.

First Shopping Trip :)
Everyone in my family and everyone I work with has been on me about my clothes being too baggy. So for date night last night, my husband took me shopping for some new pants. I bought three pairs of size 16 jeans and capris!!!!! This is the first time in 13 years that I have not had to buy my clothes in the plus size section!!! What an amazing feeling! I always hated buying clothes for myself before nut I can tell already that I am gonna be a shopping FREAK!!!! lol!
