I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

I actually had tiny bite of a lot of things. I was kinda shocked how I felt just as content and not as miserable thinking I couldnt be just as gluttonous as the others around me. I tried new things and actually made some new discoveries in cheeses etc I love! Today was the easiest day I've had since we moved out of our house getting protein in by food alone. Hope all you guys had a wonderful thanksgiving and a happy day!

We are in KY with his family today. When we head back sun we will be staying in a short term condo til after New Years then onward to CO!

At least you didn't have to cook dinner today...I did that in the middle of a move once, and ended up in tears. Happy thanksgiving!

I made the mistake if eating while I carved....didn't chew well enough, and was sick to my stomach at dinner. Refunded later ( sorry, tmi). Had a miniscule bite if apple crumb pie later...new recipe, hadn't tried it. I was shocked how quickly it triggered cravings. No more for me!

Was good to get out of the house today for a while. I survived the Thanksgiving feast; had turkey and a spoon of stuffing. It was my nephews 8th birthday today too and he made me have a tiny piece of his huge chocolate chip cookie. It was really just a nibble and was so good! Couldnt bear to let him down! hope everyone else did good too!

Glad you had a good day! You have a great attitude, Dori!

Thanks so much! I feel like my attitude is waning lately. I try to stay positive but it is very hard.

After all you've been through, that's understandable...I pray your pain is resolved. We're here for you!

Ate pretty decent, but I did eat the guts of a slice of homemade pumpkin pie. Yes it was good but I got my cravings taken care of.

I hosted dinner and was too busy to eat right. I had a couple protein shakes, a little broccoli and cheese, and turnips w/carrots. I don't tolerate poultry unless it's ground. It's the first day in a long time that I didn't get all my protein. Then three hours of sleep before fifteen hours of Black Friday shopping (8 hours w/daughter in MA, and 7 hours w/daughter in RI). I ate better during shopping thanks to my trusty lunchbag - it goes everywhere I go. :-)

Did you get some good deals? I hide on black Friday.

I like going out! It's the first black Friday I've had off in seven years - I finally had enough seniority to get it off. My holiday shopping was done but I found a bunch of sweaters for myself for less than ten bucks each. It was nice to spend some time with my girls. One works and is doing an internship in a Providence hospital - she's so busy I never see her anymore.

December 1st already! Where did the time go? We are entering our 8th month post op! I am stalled between 217-220 lbs. Want to get to at least 170 but not sure that will happen. Am fairly immobile for now after spine surgery and mysterious leg pain that followed! Absolutely can not wait to be able to start some exercise. I've lost 123 lbs so far with basically no exercise due to my bad back. I can only wonder where I'd be if I was able to even go for a good walk!?!? I may have already reached goal. Oh well, it is what it is. Glad everyone is doing well and enjoying life! Truly a great outcome I must say! ♥

Slow and steady wins the race my friend! I have no doubt u will make goal. We will be cheering u on right along the way. Also...123lbs is absolutely amazing and nothing to take lightly. That's losing 12 supermodels!!

You'll get there, Dori. I think your loss has been astounding; a real testament to your commitment. I have been sidelined by my inability to exercise vigorously, too, but I figure we just have to trust the process. The important thing is for you to heal right now. You got this, my friend. Be well.
