Labrys

Labrys here... Hi all... Well I'm going to my 6 month appointment at So. San Francisco in two weeks. I want to be in the 170's for that appointment so I gotta get on the stick. Anyone here gonna be there? Here's an update on my situation. I recently decided not to sell my house, so I gotta unpack all those boxes etc. It'll keep me active. I can definitely feel a loss in my clothing. It's been a while since I was in the 180's.

Labrys here.... To be truthful, my attention has not been on weight loss for the past few weeks. I am in process of selling my home which of course means packing and looking for a new place, Without going into too much detail, some things have changed and I will be taking the house off the market. Now that it is decided, I'll be doing some exercise etc and hopefully the weight will begin to fall again. I'm down about 3 pounds since my last post. Best to everyone.

I am 9 months out from surgery. I am having difficulty eating and am feeling that my nutrition is not where it should be. I have had some severe diarrhea since the surgery last June. My question: What's goin' on? Any advice on increasing my appetite? When should I expect the weigh loss to stop?

Labrys here... Just checking in. WTG Jul!! Well, I have not gotten on the scale for a while as I have been in process of selling my home. Got an offer yesterday. I feel as though I may be losing, but still mainly on a plateau. Loving my sleeve. Its difficult not to run up to people who apparently need some help with weight and not take them by the shoulders, shake, and say "Listen to me!" But.... that's not appropriate. I'll tell who in curious and seeking. much love to all of you

Labrys here... Sorry for the absenteeism. I have been on a stall and well, its been difficult to face. But... I am back on wagon sort to speak. It feels good to see some change in my weight. I am being blessed by angels today. Good to see your posts.

Labrys here... Okey dokey. This goal thang worked for me at new years... Lemme see what it'll do this time around.

Labrys here... finally Hooray for me! I reached my Jan 1 goal. I pretty much out of my clothes. I got a donation from a friend though. I've been working on rehabbing my house; getting it ready for sale. I also just returned from Mississippi and holiday visit with the family. We just love getting together. Anywhooo I need to set my Valentine's day goal. Sorry for the absenteeism, but I'm back in town and have access again to the ole puter.

Labrys here... Away from the scale and out of town so I don't really know anything on the weight loss stat. You folks are such an inspiration to me. This old bird is soooo happy with the weight loss thus far, can't wait to see how all this turns out. My family, who have not seen me in a while were really impressed. I just want to get on with it. I'm wearing clothes from the Goodwill now, as I know they are just stop gap clothes on my way down. I'll check in with some stats when I return home on Jan 5. I have shared some of the holiday fare so we'll see if there is a weight loss or now. For now, just know that the support you all offer is most appreciated and helps keep me focused. I am sooo happy to have found this site and can share my journey with you. Blessed Be.

Labrys here.... Well, I'm away from home and no access to a scale. I have no idea if I made my goal, but my sense is that I'm a few pounds short of the goal. I'll weigh on Jan. 5 when I return home. I loved having this goal and working for it and I'll join in the Valentine day goal. I really want to lose another 40 - 50 pounds. Big time love and hugs to all of you for your support and example.

Labrys here.... OK ok... I few days late in posting. I have been busy rehabing my house in anticipation for sale. You know, sweat equity. I'm down just a pound but I am pleased. All my clothing are getting loose, and some are no longer wearable. Here's the scoop. HW 238 SW 230 Last Week 197.5 This Week 196.5 My family has not seen me since the surgery. I'll visit with them the week after Christmas. I hope they are as pleased as I am. This old body is still shedding the weight allbeit somewhat slower than some others, but that its coming off is the important thing. All of you are doing sooo well. I love the support we give each other. Big time success energy being sent along the way to you all.

Labrys here.. TA-DAH I made it to Onerderland!! HW: 238 SW: 230 Last Week: 200 This Week: 197.5 I'm a doin' the happy dance!

Labrys here... this thingy is a labrys --> (>|<) Double bladed axe said to have been used by the amazons and Greek menoans. It has come to be a symbol of woman power. Anywho... HW 238 SW 230 -- Cherice you're a week ahead of me but we weighed the same at surgery Last Week 204.5 This Week 200 Ooooo, that onederland is just over the horizon. Having the same weight for a while is not fun, but it is comforting to know that it will all be just a faint memory because we will drop those old unwanted pounds. Here is a suggestion. Picture yourself at you slim goal weight and eliminate words like stall and stuck in regard to weight loss. Ok, climbing down off soap box. We all understand.

Just wanted to post on this topic so it will go to the forefront. Let's all keep working for our goals. I'm gonna take long walk after Thanksgiving today. Thanksgiving at the Beach with lots of friends! Blessings to everyone and here's hoping we all reach our goals. YAHOO!

Labrys here... I'd just like to say that I am sooo glad to be part of this group. LMD, you are the bomb. Thanks for all the support. Our journey together is helpful. All of us will have plateaus and stalls, but we will all lose, too. Its good to read all of your posts and know that all is progressing as it should. We are a great group. Thanks to all who post here. Heck, even if your surgery was not in september, join the love and support of this group. Many many hugs and best wishes for a joyful Thanksgiving.

Labrys here.... Okey Dokey... here's the scoop I dropped about a pound and half this week. My food intake needs some attention and my fluids are not where they need to be. I'll pay better attention this week. This is Thanksgiving week. It will be good to have the dinner and be with friends and family. And its good to know that I will not over stuff myself. I'm rockin' this sleeve. Last week: 206 This week: 204.5 Look out onederland, I'm rollin' into town!
