Grats Lorraine, welcome to twoterville :clap2:

And Wahoo!!!

Two great things

1. Had a major crisis yesterday with dh's ex, I wanted to eat like there's no tomorrow but I DIDN'T!!! In fanct I had to have a protien shake after dinner cause I was still too low on calories and protien.

2. OK this one isn't all good but... I've been constipated this last week since cutting down on calories and intake I also have not had as much fat and Fiber... So I had to take milk of mag last night, YUK! on the bright side I dropped a lot of weight! I won't belive the scale till tomorrow because after all it's not natural to have completely empty intestines so it as to be a false low, but hopefully not by much :car: Tomorrow is my official weigh day so we'll see :D

Grats 2B :P Welcome to the land of the 2's

Well my official weigh in for the week down a total of 12lbs for the week. Now if only I can keep from getting discouraged as the loss slows down to a normal pace. The initial loss when you first start being good again is so fast and exhilirating that the slow 1-2lbs a week can seem daunting. sigh here we go into a new week :)

WOW -- have I had a tough few weeks. I gained about 3 pounds during vacation, and have been battling to lose those same 3 pounds. I finally did and now down another .6 pounds from my lowest. So I hope I am on the right track again. I went to my doctor last week and he wouldn't do my 1st fill. He said it was because i was right on track of losing 1 - 2 pounds per week (barely 1 pound) -- I think it was because he was running 1 hour late and didn't want to bother with it. So i am almost 2 months from surgery with no fill, but I am still losing. So I am grateful for that. Just think if I would get off my butt and exercise too. HEHEHE

Thanks!!

I want to be in twoterville so bad. Why am I hovering around 305? It's just not fair. I hate it that I lose slowly.

I am so proud of the rest of you. One day soon, you'll get to say you are proud of me too.

Ciao Bellas!

congrats to the two entering twoterville!

nicole, that loss is great! Congrats on a fab week!!

katie, keep your chin up, you will get there. maybe try to do 1 thing a little different this week to see if that knocks it off!

i have been losing/gaining the same 3 - 4 pounds for about a week. i need to start 100% back to low carb. i know that's what works for me...

Katie, chin up girl! Passing the border into twoterville is difficult I think for a lot of people because mentally it's such a milestone. I think many of us sabotage ourselves and float around 300-305 sometimes for weeks or even months because in our heads we aren't ready. Look at what you are doing and honest look at what you are eating and what you are doing for activity and see if there is something you might be doing to stall yourself unconsciously.

Well thanks for all the grats everyone and today was my first day at this new job. I spent the whole day in horrible gas pain and nausea to boot. Not sure why but was extremely tight all day. No PB's recently at all and today no sliming even just felt nauseated every time I even drank something. Maybe I'm tight or maybe I have a bit of a bug, not sure but either way it was miserable :think. All in all it was a good day, just minus food, so I'm drinking my protien tonight.

I know <sigh> I can't keep looking at it as a negative! 30 lbs is good. Its been a little over 4 months since my surgery and I should be happy about 30 lbs. I will get there. I will get there. <continuing the mantra>

Thanks girls, you're the best!

I only weigh when I go to the doctor's. Went yesterday and am still 304, so have lost nothing this week, despite a good fill and exercising. It could be women's fluctuation weight or it could be I weighed in the afternoon rather than the morning or maybe I'm just plateauing. My only problem is that I put an unrealistic (for me) goal for the month. I'll pick my goal a bit more carefully next month to avoid disappointment.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
