That is an awesome feeling, I am experiencing the same with my clothes. Loosing inches is a great NSV.

I know I have sleep apnea but I can't sleep with anything touching my face. I have tried taking a sleep study on three occasions but I have never been able to fall asleep with the probes in my nose. I also know it is a lot better now, my wife tells me that I don't snore nearly as bad and she never notices that I stop breathing at night anymore. I also feel better rested in the morning.

I take benadryl when I have the study which the sleep doctor says is OK. My husband says I don't snore at all anymore. I never did stop breathing noticeably to my husband but my earlier study showed I stopped breathing 60-70 times per hour and my oxygen dropped to the 70's. I slept with the nasal pillows, soft cushions that rest against your nostrils, much more comforatble to me than the mask.

Wow, a foot smaller in the waist, WTG!

I'm checking in!! Not going as fast as I hoped it would, but every pound gone is a good thing. Happily, I feel like I am comfortable with my 4x/wk exercise routine, so it will only get better.

it's been a really rough two weeks weight-wise. i've been up and down and up and down and weighed in at 158 even this morning, down .4 pounds overall.

Fay here checking in at 184

JulieG checking in at 206.8. That's up .8 lb. Not going in the right direction. While I am surviving my husband being away for the month, I guess the scale is telling the story of how I'm coping. After that major disappointment on the scale, I hit the gym with all three kids in tow (they went to the childmind), had a fantastic food day and did another 30 min on my home treadmill while the littlest one napped. I need to turn this around...I did not spend all that money on this surgery to let a little stress get me down. I almost felt like not checking in today because I was so embarassed to gain 2 weeks in a row but I'm using this thread to motivate myself and get back on track I really don't want another gaining week and I have a MAJOR goal of hitting onederland before I leave on my trip in November.

Congratulations to you who are doing so great, you are inspiring! Larry, holy smokes on losing a foot around your waist, that's really amazing.

Checking in at 279.4. That's - 3.2 lbs, which is nice because the last two weeks the scale didn't move much. That makes almost 66 lbs (65.6)!

I'm checking in today at 277.6. That's another 2 lbs gone...and I'm on vacation so I am very happy about that!!

I have a had a few challenges this week. Out of town family who were visiting, I have been so distracted with midterms. So the scale didn't move for me. They just left, and hopefully I cam stay focused.
