That's a real special story about you and your sisters. I can't wait for them to hug you and get their arms around you also.

SpecialK that is so encouraging to hear how your family is pulling for you. I know they will love putting their arms all the way around you. I hope your stress level eases a bit so you can relax. Good for you sticking to your workouts. That is the part of this equation we can't overlook.

Great for you!!!

Don't go by a scale that you don't use on a regular basis. Gym scales are notorious for being out of balance.

Hi Shamrocks,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still trucking! I had to move out into the country for work, I don't have the internet so I don't get to check anything at all very often! I miss hearing the stories, the triumphs, the tears and the challenges of our group. We are almost hitting our one year anniversary, mine is only 2 weeks away. I hope everyone is still on track and staying strong. Miss you all!

Much love and best wishes,

Annie xoxox

Ewww, I am so with you guys today. I really tried, but my Monday was Purgatory. My other-work-half is on vaca in Florida this week (yes, I hate her life right now), so I was slammed from the moment I walked into work until the moment I left. Let me rephrase, 'the moment I left' means the moment that I walked into my front door and plugged in my laptop, only to continue to work until well after 7pm. I was actually in my gym clothes (I am lucky to have a fully equipped gym at work) when I received an asap order for 12 people, to start tonight. Oh well, there goes fate making sure that I don't get to the gym yet again. I am trying to take solace in the fact that my eating was very much in line today, and I moved around every chance I got. Tomorrow is another day (thanks Scarlett!), so I will change into my gym clothes yet again tomorrow and pray for at least 30 peaceful minutes. Good luck this week ya'll!

I myself am no fan of Mondays as well. I have the weekend off, then work 25 hours to start the week.. Ugh, does it drag!

I woke up this morning to 27" of snow. So much for the 8-12 forcasted. We just got 18" Thursday.. I was out at 6am in my flannel pjs trying to find my Jeep. What a cruel joke this winter has been!

Hopefully this week moves along quickly, Daytona bound in 3 days!!

Between frozen pipes, a chimney fire, 500 feet of snow, and a propane leak over that last 2 weeks, I've never needed a vacation so bad.

Here's to my first time out of New England!! WOOT!!

(:Hope you all have a great week:)

Ewww K-Pod, you definitely deserve that vaca! I have never left the US, so I undertand your enthusiasm about traveling abroad. I hope you have a blast!

Everyone has been pretty quiet this week, hope all is well.

I just wanted to let you guys know that I have collar bones. Who knew?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
