just found this app and had to check it out! had my bypass on Dec62011 and im down 40#s...a total of 100#s since the start of all this... but i've remained at a stand still for a month now and i've lost my motivation. got lots of reasons not to be lazy and hoping weather is the cause of my lack of movement!

Hang in there, I had my surgery 12-20-11 and have had times where my weight has stood still. I have had the unfortunate experience of throwing up just about everything I put in my pouch. My Dr did the scope three times. This last time he noticed that there may be an obstruction from a twisting intestine.

I am feeling better about surgery and am searching for my motivation as well. 40lb is fantastic, that is my Six year old you lost! Lol. 100 from the start is amazing! You have done fantastic. Take it day by day sip by sip. I am back at the basics. I am writing everything down that I eat, how long I exercise, what I drink and how I feel. I try to make very support group too. They are twice a month and I learn so much and leave so charged with positive energy for the next week. Hope the motivation bug finds you and me and we find out way to our goal

Cool, I have the flu from oven to me by my wonderful son. My daughter and husband are sick as well. We are having a race to see who gets rid of our temperature first. Lol

Tummy us really hurting from surgery last week and throwing up last night and all day to day. This will pass and I am looking forward to the great weather that will be here soon. I am ready to walk and hit the gym again.

Not oven Given to me. Silly auto correct

ugh... hope u all feel better! i dislike when my kiddos are sick... poor things! of course when my hubby is sick, he is worse...hehe!

suppose to hit 60 the next 2 days...woohoo!! hoping for a good walk both days with my family and of course our dogs...hehe...they can pull me up the hills! LOL

I spent most of yesterday not feeling 100%. Today is going to be a great day. 60 here today al well. My husband keeps saying this is not normal weather for Illinois and we are going to get hit hard with cold and snow. I think he is wrong!!!!! For our motivation let him be wrong.

Our new furniture came yesterday and I over did it with just having surgery wed to fix my tummy. I do plan on taking a walk today and enjoying the weather. Just at a slower pace.

Have a wonderful day and think one day closer to our goals.

i agree, hope he's wrong! im in Pennsylvania and so not wanting more crappy weather. i deliver the mail and have had enough with the cold...hehe. didnt get to walk today cuz had to take the middle child to his ped... he's got "swimmers ear"... dont know how he got that...ugh! but i did work up a good sweat cleaning the car inside and out...hehe. also boogied around walmart waiting on his script. something i dont get to do when the hubby goes with cuz he cant walk fast...he's disabled. (nerve damage in his neck back in '04, the same side he had a tumor and like 40 lymphnodes removed back in '97) u'd think with all that drama in my life id have been thin...nope, i went the other way! we had our oldest son but were told no for anymore cuz of his chemo...haha...we had 2 miracle children later anyways i thought id just tell u alittle about myself without boring ya. have always had a weight issue but hitting 380 last yr was my highest and scariest! still a ways to go but 280 sounds alot better. my oldest son and my daughter (youngest) have weight issues too...this scares me! its so hard to see them struggle... and they see me but yet they refuse to listen...ugh! frustrating being a parent sometimes.

well...i hope everyone is feeling alot better today and u got to enjoy some warm sunshine.

also...please take it slow!! the last thing u wanta do is hurt urself and have to have surg again! u gotta give urself healing time...u will catch urself up when that sun is shining bright on a regular basis. haha...now im lecturing...LOL seriously though, please be careful. *hugs*

Feeling so good today. Been walking and unpacking our new place. So happy for the great weather. hope all is well for you.

Today is the day, I am going to see both doctors. Hopefully I will be released to do more than walking

Have a great day and sure hope the good weather is lasting by you.

So I am having a happy and sad day all in one. I have two pairs of jeans that I have had for 12 years that I have been waiting to get back into. Tried them on this morning and they are to big! So happy that they are to big and super sad that I missed out on wearing them. My friends at support kept telling me to try them on and I just did not want to be disappointed that they did not fit. Well disappointed in myself for not having a chance to wear them. So I am off to buy an other pair today.

Hope all is well for you
