Today's win ... a co-worker just commented "Hey look at you sporting the thigh gap!"

I have a gap? BETWEEN my thighs?!??!?!

No ****

I went on a 4 day weekend girls trip and was so nervous about getting on the scale this morning only to find I am at my lowest weight. I thought for sure I'd be up a few and have to cut way back this week.

Happy Monday!

My win for today. I hit my GOAL this morning. Surgery last week of September 2014. Starting weight was 222. This morning stepped on scale for first time in a month. BAM! 124.8. Goal was 125. Weight I was when I got married 11 years ago.

A big congrats to all 3 of you!!! Great job!!

I know you are right. But I am actually a shy and sensitive guy and I don't want anyone to think I am bragging or being arrogant.

This speaks well of you, proof that you are a gentleman of fine breeding. Fine, I'll brag for you.

HELLO! HELLO! THIS IS MY RESPONSE TO WORKINONME -- I'm stuck here in the gray box with you. It's fitting, though, because my response is "That's quite a cozy workplace you've got there."

My family and I went for a 2.5 mile "hike". At the end they were all tired and saying how that was a lot of exercise and they deserved and needed a big dinner. They were saying how far we had all walked.

I was like, um... What walk? That was a leisurely stroll for me. I could have easily run that distance and barely been tired. I wasn't out of breath once! That was a tiny little bit of walking to me!!!

Hahahaha. Gosh amazing. I would barley have been able to do that without crying a little over a year ago. My legs would have been shaking.

Great thread! I

I've that every day can bring a new win! Today I am at 161. The last time I saw that on the scale was high school! I usually let myself rest from exercise over the weekend, today I found my self missing it! Never thought that could happen to me! Looking forward to doing some fun physical activities outdoors as the weather warms up. So great to hear everyone's accomplishments. Great job all!

I am blown away by all the responses. I hope all of you give yourselves a pat on the back. You have achieved all of this on your own.

My win for the day:

Owning who I am now. Feeling pretty damn good about myself.

ROFL!! It is a cozy workplace ... then again, I have worked with some of these people for 15+ years and if you know ANYTHING about the education field we aren't ones to hold things back. Definitely a "tell it like it is" group of friends here! :) Just glad that I was on the receiving end of something positive ... it goes both ways with that!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
