I'm so sorry about your pup.

And who can forget Ayds chocolate weight loss candy?

I think I ordered it or something and by the time it came the thrill was gone. I also joined Richard's "Slimmons" workout classes for one or two sessions. Oh and bought an oldies tape too. I didn't realize until just now how much of my money went to Richard Simmons.

Deal a Meal. Opened the box and never used it.

Woo hoo! That's inspiring. I'm signed up to walk my first 5k in July. I can't run anymore because my knees are shot, but I can walk!

Brilliant idea. I've actually started making the changes with lunches first. All week so far my lunches were brown bagged and healthy. My younger daughter got a summer internship at the company I work for, and we take lunch together. We've been going to the park close by and eating our lunch there. So that's been an immediate change. Dinner this week was better most days, but not every day. Progress, though. I feel better already.

Depression is real and I would never minimize it. But know that just a few short months from now, your life will improve so dramatically from losing weight that you may wonder why you waited so long to do WLS. Try to get outside each day for some fresh air and exercise. It gets better!!

Seven. Several were tiny.

I get you. I had a span of about a month when all I could think about was what plastic surgery could I get and how soon. I even asked a plastic surgeon at a support group meeting if I could get it before I reached goal. My insurance will change from excellent to crappy once my divorce is final. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. You are so right. If my head isn't okay with my new body before I choose plastics, it's a recipe for disaster. And contemplating surgery with fifty pounds left to lose? What the heck am I thinking? I will probably get a tummy tuck eventually. But not for at least a year. First I have the extra weight to lose. And then I need to work on my self image. Take a well deserved break.

Congratulations and welcome to the century club!

Very pretty !

I hope whatever it is ends up being easy to treat or fix. Please let us know.

Exactly !!!

Here's an arm up. And a secret. I get off the wagon every night and climb back on every morning. This is a lifetime commitment for me. I'm not perfect. I've made changes that have lasted, but not perfectly and certainly not all at once. Every day and every meal is a choice. Climb back up! You can do it!

What if I looked at the scale this morning and it said I was at my goal weight? What if it was real, and all my excess weight was gone? How would I spend my day? Would I eat well? Would I exercise happily? Would I congratulate my fabulous self and walk around with a big grin? Would I put myself "out there" more and participate in new things? Today I am acting as if I am at my goal weight. Where the mind goes, the body will follow. Who's with me?

I gave up caffeine several months ago and am very happy I did. I sleep better and have less anxiety. If I accidentally get served regular coffee I can tell afterwards, and I don't like the antsy feeling anymore.

Oh she went there. New York Super Fudge Chunk. Nooooooo........

Sounds like my experience. It should slowly improve. If it gets worse or something really painful occurs, call your doc right away.

Looks like my daughter landed a summer job at the company I work for. This is great news. She's just waiting to hear her starting date. I will have a lunch/walking buddy!

Changed up my food plan today after talking to my daughters yesterday about my crummy food choices. Committing to saying buh-bye to my favorite greasy fried foods. I made it through today just fine. One ounce of leftover beef tips for Breakfast, cheese sticks for a snack, tomato Soup and grilled chicken chopped salad for lunch, yogurt and pumpkin seeds for dinner. Tomorrow will be fresh, healthy choices for breakfast and lunch, and a healthy meal cooked by my daughter for supper. This last fifty pounds is coming OFF, people!!!

I interrupt my meal. About five minutes in, I get up, go to the bathroom, wash my hands, and return to the table. That mini break from chewing is often enough time for my brain to get the message that I've eaten something. It makes it then easier for me to continue slowly, and decide after each bite whether I'm satisfied or not. Slowing things down dramatically is the only way I know of to "hear" my soft stops.
