Trish I'm just checking in on how you are !!! Just letting you know I'm thinking of you!! ((((HUGS)))) Glad your checking with some other Dr's I think thats a smooth move.....hope you can get some answers and all fixed up soon!!

You can do it your so close...but if you want me to offically kick you ...here yah go:bump2: well that was a bump I guess!!! LOL!!! I'll post pictures soon guys thanks for all the encouraging words...without all of you and my band I would have never made it this far!!! Thanks:grouphug:

Thanks everbody!!! I never thought I'd see this milestone but I'm sure glad I did!!!! Diane & Mary~ I have before pictures and will be getting my after pictures back in a few days ...I'll post them soon okay!!

Thanks for the suggestion...I never thought about the oil being a problem but I bet your right!!! I'll try some from the recipe and see if it is better. I really love egg drop soup so I hope that works better for me. :hungry:

Well this was my post for last week and look at me now!!!! 4 pounds down in one week....I just needed to get my butt in gear change a few bad habits and WOW the scale went down!!! This offically makes me down 100 pounds in all!!!! YIPPI!!!! HUT 2,3,4 HUT!!!! :clap2:

Trish~ From the bottom of my heart I think you should go with your gut feeling on this!! I say you should get a second opinion!! It can't hurt anything and you really are in a scary situation right now. You need someone that you can have faith in to help you and I'm not sure you have much faith in your dr right now....to me if you are questioning him then change drs. ((((HUGS))))

Well SARGE I'm reporting in with more mental progress than physical scale progress....but either way it is progress....here goes.... I walk an intire hour this morning and was even able at times to get jogging some. I felt great afterwards and am drinking alot of water. So far today I've had lowfat cottage cheese (now that I got a slight unfill I'm able to eat it???) And some small bites of tomatoes in it. Planning on some Tuna for lunch and some baked chicken at dinner. My head seems to be screwed on straight these last couple weeks BUT NO WEIGHT LOSS!!! UHHHH!!! Anyway I'm just trusting that with dicipline and time I will see results on the scale again..... ONWARD MARCH......HUT 2,3,4 HUT!!!!!!

Penni~ I just want you to know that I'm sorry you are going through such a difficult time....and I hope that what ever decision you choose will help you continue to get healthier. I'm here to listen and just wishing you every happiness that life can bring you....with lots of success in all you do!!! ((((HUGS)))

Alexra~ WOW To you for your great success and another WOW for the well deserved cool car!! HAPPY BANDIVERSARY!!!!!

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I really don't think I will ever feel comfortable in a bikini...I would settle for just feeling comfortable in a one peice swim suit....even if I get some skin removed unless they will remove stretch marks I will never get in a bikini and feel good about it. What I will feel good about is getting to or at least close to my ideal weight that will continue to help me stay active and healthy...if a bikini at some time comes comfortably into the picture then I might wear one...BUT I DOUBT IT !!!!

Dianechef~ You have a very beautiful family....and you look amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing your picture with us!!! Hope everyone else had a great holiday and each day we have all year long is a Blessing for sure!!!
