Nooooo. This has not felt like a break for me b/c of MIL dying. She was mostly comatose from Christmas week and she passed yesterday. Funeral this week. I am looking forward to February break, to say the least.

So sorry for your loss. It is a very difficult thing to go though, even when you know it is best for them. Make sure to make some time for yourself this week. Easy to say, but very hard to do. Even more important for us when we are on this journey.

On another note, I work in the district office of a school district. No school in Minnesota - too cold. Tomorrow morning we will wake up to temps about -25 with wind chills at about -50. I don't plan to so much as stick my nose out the door.

RJ, sorry about your Eagles. At my house we were hoping for a win! As Viking fans we really dislike the Saints!

Thanks :-) But all in all a great season. Very impressed with Chip Kelly, no pratical NFL head coaching experience and he was able to rally this team to a respectible season.he has a core team that is behind him. And while Eagle fans are some of the toughest in the country he was able to win us over.

As we say here every year ......there is always next season :-)

E.A.G.L.E.S. .....Eagles!!!!

time to switch my cap... Bring on the Fightin' Phils...........play ball!!

Go in for my six month follow up tomorrow morning. Ever feel like the universe is against you? Well, I have come down with a HORRIBLE cold, so I really have no desire to get myself moving. The HIGH temp today was about -15, so taking a walk outside is out of the question. Tomorrow morning the temp is going to be about -20. If the car starts and I get there, my weight is going to be just short of my goal. I wanted to be down 150 pounds. I am at 148, almost, but not quite! I am proud of what I have done, but I wish I could have had the two pounds!

I had my six month follow up today. My dr was really pleased with my progress and said I am doing great. It really re energized me to keep pushing and get to goal. He said I could lose another 20 lbs but I still want to try for 40. Secretly id be thrilled with 20 because that would be low 140s. Everything else went great. Yay!!!

CONGRATS!! You have earned it!

I am only 2 lbs away from what my doc thought I would bottom out at. I would like another 30 - 40. I am just going to keep on doing what I am going and see what happens. I have high hopes for a good visit in the morning too.

Well good-luck to everyone above and they way it sounds you have been doing fantastic so far! Remember it's not a race, as much as it is a life time commitment, I'm aiming on 240 lbs, weighed out today at 274.4. Thats 136.6lbs of loss, at 6'6 I'm hearing now that i look great now not to lose no more but let's see how it goes.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
