Ammariehs mommy

I am going to start going in the early mornings to weigh in. I don't have to have an appointment to weigh in since I'm just trying to get to my second appointment goal. I have to be 450 to get the appointment.

I think I am going to do that next time I go weigh in. I'm so close to my goal for my second appointment and I don't want 3 or 4 pounds to stop me. I need to be 450 to get my appointment.

The only good thing about my doctors is that the scale is in a room all by itself. I might just strip next time. Especially if I am only a few pounds off.. Close your eyes!!lol

I didn't want to ask but heck my shirt weighs at least 3pounds by it self. It's a 7xl. Lol I felt like she would have looked at me crazy. So I didn't. Lol I'm sure I could have gotten down to at least 458, 459 lbvs

Thanks!! I sure need to vent sometimes. No one arounds me really cares to hear it. Lol I really am starting to hate scales!! Lbvs

Lol no I meant 456. I just fixed it. I was typing to fast. And yeah everyone says they weigh more in the afternoon. And I usually weigh my self just like you. Lol naked and just peed early in the morning. Lol to bad I can't go weigh in like that. I would be 453. My doctors scale is always 5 pounds heavier also. Thanks for the encouragement!! I sure need it!!

So I went to weigh in today and just like I thought the doctors scale is wayyyy off from my own scale. I weighed myself at home this morning and I was 456. Which is only 6 pounds from my second appointment. We I went to weigh in at the doctors and I 462. Ugggh it's just so annoying to think I am so close but still so far away. Sorry guys I just needed to vent because no one around me really cares to hear my vents..thanks for listening. On the good side I think I will get to swim in the morning which means that's my third time this week. Usually I only get two days a week to go!! Exercise here I come!!

Good luck everyone!! I can't wait till its my day!!

Aww thanks! It's hard trying to loose weight on you own. I went swimming today and I just couldn't get the courage up to go back in the gym. But I did get 2 hours of swimming in. I guess I will try again tomorrow.

Thanks girl I'm trying!! I'm trying to get where you are. Lbvs

So I just put on a pair of my capri's. Usually after I wash and dry them I have to struggle to get the on until they stretch out. Today they just slid right on. No effort at all. I didn't have to fight. I weighed myself today on my home scale and I am down 31 pounds. It fluctuates about 5 pounds through out the day. And as long as I'm under 460 I'm happy. That's 24 pounds down. Now I'm going to fight to get these last few pounds off so I can get my second appointment!! My appointment weight is 450. Thanks for listening. I really don't have anyone around me that cares to hear my looser stories.

My main motivation is my one year old daughter. Everyday she amazes me with something new. I cringe at the thought of not seeing her grow up. Next I would like to walk without pain. Not have high blood pressure. Shop till I drop at a cheap store. Not have to order my clothes and then try them on and send them back when the don't fit right. The process takes at least 6 weeks. Ride the boat ride at the county fair. Last time rode it I was15 and I could hardly fit then. Take a vacation and ride in a plane. My list can go on and on. Thinking one day I will be able to do these things is the reason I keep going.

Welcome Shannel! My name is Terri and I just joined a few weeks ago. I am also pre surgery. I had my first appointment on July 5th and my doctor wants me to loose 34 pounds before he will start my process. I'm down about 20 so far but it's been a struggle. I have also been a prisoner to food my whole life. My highest weight was 491. I started at 484 at my appointment. When I reach 450 I can have my second appointment. It's a journey I am taking and glad to see you starting yours again! It might have been a blessing your first surgery was canceled. You might not be here right now. Well anyway glad to meet you and glad your here!!

Sometimes I think it's for insurance reasons. Mine was because the doctor wanted to see if I could change my eating habits first. A lot of people go into their appointment thinking I'm just going to get the surgery . They don't realize it's life changing and you have to change everything about how you eat. My mom is an example of this. The doctor told her she needed to loose 40 pounds. She seen this as impossible. So she never did anything. And she's still obese and have health issues. I on the other hand is working on it. I want this surgery. I want to be healthy. I'm not trying to get skinny I'm just trying to get healthy.

I am pre op as well. I have to loose 34 pound before the doctor will start my process. I am down about 20 now. Well when I weigh myself at home I am down 29 but when I weighed in at the doctors on Tuesday I was only down 17. I am going to wait till next Friday before I go weigh in again. Hopefully I will hit my goal!! How much weight did they say you have to loose??

Ikr I was just think about the milk Sanrio. Lol I couldn't believe it either I even shed a tear. All the hard work isn't in vain. I can't wait to actually get the surgery process going!!

That is so true!! I have come a long way. I weighed myself today on my own Scale and I am back to losing! If the scale is right then I am down 29 pounds!! In one month!! All by myself!! I can't believe how far I have come. The struggles don't even seem as bad when you see results. It's when you are at a plateau is when it seems all your efforts are for nothing. I feel so much more confident today!! That's for the kind words and encouragement!! It's much appreciated!!

Thank you! I was truly blessed with a beautiful baby!!

Thanks!! I'm am going to be trying more each time.
