Maybe it's not such a good idea to "race for the finish" because that has always meant failure in the past. You know, starving to fit in a bridesmaid's dress or dieting before vacation. Penni, do you think this could backfire?

Lisa: And everyone else. This was meant to be fun and sometimes a friendly competition can stimulate wonderful results in the end. If it is not something you are wanting to do then there really is no problem. We can chalk it up to "tried it - didn't like it."

On the other hand, If this is a ploy to get me to bough out. SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!! Ain't gonna happen. I am gonna be in a competition with myself to not eat junk stuff and to lose an X amount of weight by October whether you or anyone else competes with me or not. SO THERE!!!

Love you guys

Am I the only one who sees this as unfair to DeLarla???

Penni has a port, DeLarla does not.

Newport Penni vs. Portless. Sounds like an unfair match. Penni, you brute! But step on up and place your bets!

Great, now there's a prize from Donali involved. Have I mentioned I LOVE prizes?

Hey if you want to make it even steven I can promise to NOT get a fill between now and October. We both have a fill right now. Mine is at 1cc what is yours at?

What ya think?

My momma didn't raise no "fool!"

Hmmm, let's see trip to Hawaii sounds like a nice prize.

I think someone should start a pool as to how much weight we would lose.

Regardless who wins, that's so generous of Donali to buy the winner a trip to Hawaii.

Sorry guys - a "nice" prize from me is 1/2 off coupons, or something... lol :)

So, since Lisa is at 1.8cc fill I think I can get a fill of the same amount. I am at 1cc right now and I will just ask Dr. Billy to fill me to that as well. Seems only fair to me. What do you guys think?

1/2 off coupons for not on the buffet but the plane fare to Hawaii as well. WOW Donali is so cool. What a prize.

      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!!
