I'm glad to hear you are well also. I wish I was off for a few weeks. I did most of my shopping but still have a few things to get yet. I hate shopping. I went to look for a casual outfit for tomorrow night for the hubs xmas party for work, god that sucked lol. I did end up w jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Hopefully both fit cause I didn't try them on. Did I mention I hate to shop lol. My weight hasn't budged. I'm frustrated cause I haven't hit onederland yet, I know I'll get there I just need to push harder.

Just checking in. Hope all is well and that you've got your shopping done. I'm almost finished. I'm finishing on sat. Happy to report my scale is moving again. 202 this morning.

Hi, good to hear you are doing well. Yaay almost at 200 that's great! My weight loss has been very slow this past 10 days I been 190 and 191, but that's ok with me. I knew that stalls happens, I need to get better with the exercise. As far as food I'm still doing good. I still have some shopping I need to do. Hopefully I will get it done by this weekend.

Oh my I forgot to mention that we went to belk and saw a black Michael Kors dress and my husband and daughter insisted on me to try it on. I tried the large one and it fit!!! Oh my I was so excited. I didn't get it cause I refuse to pay $120 for a dress. Well my daughter found the same dress at Macy and she got it for $49 on sale so she bought it for me for Christmas!! I will be posting some pictures for New Years, that's when I plan to wear it????????????

That's so awesome! I'm finally back to a gym routine. I've made it every night this week. I feel good. Hoping to have a good bm in the next day or so. I've been doing the BOT and let's just say nothing is moving. Hell I'm probably 199 and don't know it cause I can't go lol.

Merry Christmas

Well I'll find out tomorrow if I made it through the holidays without gain. God I hope so. But I'll be strict starting tomorrow. I have my 4 months follow up on the 4th of Jan. Hoping for onederland before that.

@@lorri716 Merry Christmas! Hope you had a great time. I finally got a new phone my other one was not working properly, it kept turning off.

I had my 4 1/2 month follow up appointment today and all my blood work was good. Only thing I need to add is the vitamin b12 super excited!! I have lost a total of 61lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I weighed today 192 lbs at my doctors office. This last weeks have been hard since they are food everywhere, but good thing I was able to lose couple of lbs instead of gaining. I need to stay focus cause I feel like this is where I could slip and start old habits. I need to go back on tracking every single thing I put in my mouth. I been doing good to stay away from carbs. However exercise not to good. I need to commit to do at least some walking. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

You look fabulous. I have my 4 mos check w the NUT on the 4th and the Dr on the 14th. I was supposed to see the Dr on the 4th too but he cancelled and rescheduled. I guess that give me 10 extra days to lose a little more. I'm still not in onderland. I've been bouncing between 201 and 203 for 2 weeks now. I'll get there eventually I guess. I'm glad you're doing well. The weather here is finally winter like weather, which I hate. But I'll be back at the gym tonight. I wasn't feeling so hot last night.

@@lorri716 you know I feel the same I been 191-193 lbs for the last 3 weeks and feel kind of guilty when I eat something that has too much sugar or extra nuts, I tell myself if maybe I didn't ate that I would be below 190 but you know what this is a lifetime change and we can't go forever not eating something we just need to learn to have a small portion, I know it's easier said than done but it will be something we have to work at for the rest of our life. On the bright side we went for a 1 hour walk!! I felt good. Let's keep it up! I know if I was in any other diet, around this time I would have gone back to my old habits and this time I will not let it happen.

I'm totally with you on the old habits. I'd have ditched this 2 months ago. I know my time is coming to hit onederland, and I know what I need to do to get there. I'm working on it. Like we've both said a million times, this is for life.

Happy New Year!! 2016 to be the best year ever! I'm finally 189 lbs after 3 long weeks. My New Year end celebration was very good, went out with my husband and I actually felt pretty and comfortable in my own skin. I only had half of a margarita not bad at all.

Happy new year to you as well. You look amazing! We stayed in since we still have my mom. I'm sitting in the ER with her now as she's having some chest pains for 3 days now. I am at 201 today as I gained a pound overnight lol. But this week the scale will hopefully move into onederland. Have a great day!
