Thanks Libra, it still has not registered to me either:heh:When people in my life ask how much I have lost sometimes I'm embarrassed to tell them 191 lbs because that's alot of weight and I STILL have about 60 lbs to go:faint:But hey, the hard part is over with, I hope and pray. They say sometimes the last 25 lbs or so is the hardest to lose:phanvan

Christine, I hope you feel better soon!

Libra, I agree we need something to help with motivation (or at least I do happy.gif )

Though the scale does keep moving, slowly. Next week I'll be banded, so that should help!

Hi, I'm still here...late check-in.

Congratulations to all that are doing well. I'm in the midst of a rock and a hard place. Vacation, Birthdays, and PMS...but I have to look at the bright side. I still lost a pound. Two down, and one more birthday to get through...MINE...and then the cruise to the Bahamas over the 4th. I can do this...

Hi everyone :) Grats to all of you who are doing so well! I don't even know where to begin with individual notes so I am just lumping it all together.

I am struggling with motivation big time. I just keep floating into old habits of junk food and sadly that stuff just goes right thru. I have good restriction, I can't eat very much real food, the trick is choosing the real food over the chips and candy ;) Most of the junk is now out of our house thank goodness now to resist buying more of it. My weight just keeps fluctuating between the same 5lbs, normal Water fluctuations. Work is good but has me tired as I am not used to working again yet. I will try to check in more often as you guys help me stay at least close to the band-wagon if not on it ;)

Happy Friday :(

Molly, hang in there. I'm sure you'll get through it. I've been struggling with making the right food choices too. Life has been pretty hectic for me lately and it's easier to grab some chips than to eat something healthy. We need to refocus...I'm sure we can do it.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS!!!!

Thanks Angela ;)

I wonder if we are having these issues with junk food because we are just tired of the diet mentality after a whol eyear of it and needed a vacation from it? Well I've had my vacation now I need to get back to eating healthy. I have been in my temp job at the fire station for 2 weeks now and I really like it. Next week I am going to be hitting the gym on my way home from work each day! I aplpied for the position permamnently and I really hope I get it, that right there would alleviate a lot of my stress to have that regular income and structure to my day. Well if I don't get this job I am sure to get another :) Have a gret weekend everyone!

I popped in here months ago, but Twoterville was so far away back then. Now it's getting closer! Only more pounds to go!!

Hey, those of you who are low-carbing, do you have any suggestions for meals? I am so bored of the same food all the time.

That's supposed to say 18 more pounds!

Good for you derbygirl! We'll be waiting for you in Twoterville!!! I have some good seafood recipes but I have a terrible cold and can't concentrate at the moment. I'll share them as soon as I'm feeling better.

Good luck with the job Molly!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
