@Zoey716... first time on the treadmill this morning since the hip injury... were you with me? lol

Problem is it's really deep in the joint... ice doesn't touch it. I use a foam roller but it really doesn't do anything for the hip. Stretching does but when it's inflammed really bad the only thing that really helps is rest. This is the worst it's been in a very long time which is annoying since I've taken 50 pounds of weight off of it... it should be happy!
-
2/3s of the way to goal in less than 3 months... YES... I can do this!
-
60 pounds today!!! Only 10 more to go for my conservative goal!!! Woot Woot morning!
-
9 more pounds and I'm officially not obese!
-
Back down to where I was... onward and downward!
-

I can't wear a 6 in every pair... but when I found this pair that fit nice and was a 6, you KNOW I bought them in 2 different colors! lol I can't believe I fit in them either. My wildest dream with the WLS would be to get down to about a size 10. I still have 15 pounds to get to my conservative goal... if I can hit that easily and keep losing I will -- 140 would be a BMI of 25 for me, so I could drop a little lower and still be healthy. No idea what size jean that will be! lol
I actually wore size 0 and 2 in high school, so a size 6 thirty years later ain't too shabby!
-
@Ginger Snaps, I think it's awesome, I am down to a size 14 and couldn't believe it when I put those on I could emagine a 6? I don't think I will get that low, but at this point you never know, I was also thinking a 10 would be perfect? I can't remember the last time I was a size 10 if ever? lol, Congrats girl, you are doing amazing!!!
-
Boy, was that pound hard to lose! Been stuck at 186/187 for over 10 days (only 4 weeks out) and getting pretty discouraged but at least the scale moved this morning!
-
Challenging weekend of a LOT of driving, trying to find healthy options when I stopped (packed some food but not everything) and having car trouble causing an extra nights stay. Add that to PMS and a problem with my hip keeping me from exercising... I'm in quite a state!
-
@ginger snap, ok lady, it happens to all of us from time to time, so, these are the places that I go to when this happens to me - sans the PMS because hopefully that is over with for me. Wendy's for Chili, Taco Bell for Cantina Bowl. When knees give me problems, I take the needed rest and sit back with my favorite crystal light drink and say WOO-SAH~~~ What else can we girls do right?!? Peace.

Do you ever start to think how much you weigh and you think 175, no, 155, no wait... 145!!! I guess my brain can't wrap itself around a number in the 140's!!!
-
Those big century marks must be great @Packerfan61964... I was a relative lightweight so I only had one of those to pass and it was really quick (only 10 pounds). So for me, the decade milestones have been big ones (90, 80, 70, 60, 50...) Be sure to celebrate when you hit the two's!

Dreading doctor visit today -- weight loss great -- labs (iron) not so good...
-
I am taking 18mg of iron twice per day - it's what is on the two multi vitamin Centrum pills . I just decided to have them 12 hours apart 8:30 AM and 8:30 PM because vitamins that aren't used are tinkled away and this way I was spreading the load. This does mean I have to take pills 4 times per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime). Were you taking about this amount? Please let us know what the doctor advised. You'll get it right, no worries. This is why we get tested.

Dropped a pound -- goodbye 180's!
-
First 5k since college today -- 46 minutes ran/walked/finished! Got team Ginger!
-
First time in years I've dressed up for Halloween -- take a look at my profile pic and let me know what you think!
-
GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL! GOAL!!!!
-
Got the thumbs up from the doc after labs -- just need to increase protein to 80 g/day! YEAH!
-
halfway to GOAL!!!!!!

Hello 160's and size 12 jeans! It's been a long time since I've seen you!
-
How do you get to the point where you look in the mirror and see what other people see instead of the way you used to look?

Thanks ladies... it's just hard to wrap my head around. Today, laying in bed, I checked just to see and I can almost wrap my hands completely around one thigh. And the size 6 jeans I'm wearing are sagging in the butt and I have a date tomorrow night, so I'm going to get the size 4's today in the same brand. But when I look in the mirror I don't feel skinny. But a SIZE 4 JEAN??? I MUST be small, right? Just so weird.
-
Hurt my hip - can't exercise... scale has stayed the same for 10 days straight now - going crazy but I'll keep keeping on
-
I may actually be past the 50 pound mark when I see my surgeon Tuesday for the 3 month visit.... can you say 'Woot! Woot!'???
-
@Zoey716 -- the assessment went well. I was a little disappointed that I hadn't improved more in some areas... still weak in core; arms were much better and more flexible... hips/legs still very tight but a little better. Gotta work that core more (which I hate!)
Thanks @RJ'S/beginning -- I am finally starting to get comments at work -- I think people are afraid to say anything until it's just obvious -- just like when you think somebody is pregnant!
-
If I keeping feeling so good I'm gonna need to gain weight to keep from floaing away!

Lost 2 on vacation -- all that hiking, swimming and fresh fish in Belize made for a successful week.
