The scale has been creeping up on me too -- evil unfill!!

I started keeping a food log though, so I hope that helps. I'm actually not eating horribly, but still not exercising. I'm making that a goal this week.

I did good yesterday..went out and ran a mile, then walked two. I felt really good. I haven't run in years and years and only then because I had to. But, when I've had to, that has been when I've lost weight and felt fit.

I did good all day and then ate like a pig at dinner. Raviolis...geez..I know that isn't on my list of good things. I'm losing my mind.

I really need to get that fill. I think in the morning I will try to schedule it. What the heck...just 200 bucks. HA

$200?! Wow. I would be broke by now with all the adjustments I've had over the last year!

Yep, it is quite the racket I think, but they have you as a captive audience...no one else does it in the area. Got my appointment for 9 tomorrow. I've been eating really bad.

I'm starting the five day pouch diet......I need to rein myself in and that seems to work for me. If I can manage it for the week, then I usually get back on track for a while.

Close up of my face - even though I have only lost 10 to 15 pounds this past year, I can tell a big difference in my face.

Tonya you are beautiful. NOthing like a resort trip to make you have that extra glow!

Snowed in the past two days...couldn't go anywhere. Not so bad the first day but was/is getting on my nerves today. WE just did our first trip out...so should be able to get into town tomorrow for a meeting. We have drifts over 10 foot tall.

Tonya, I tell you this to extend your savoring of your hot tropical vacation!!

Snowed it? Wow! I thought I had reason to complain with all this rain we've gotten. It has rained every day since I got back, pouring this morning and not supposed to clear up until next week. arggggg.

But snow? Wow - being snowed in in May! I'm sure you are ready for some beautiful weather as well.

I need my sunshine! I can't take too much more of this horrible weather, I'm about to go crazy!

I have another fill scheduled for 5/18, however, I'm tight again, and been having acid reflux in the evening. I'm going to just see if I stay tight, or I could be loose by then. I hope I keep my restriction!

Tonya -- you look amazing!! :)

Well, gals, I am really hating this unfill. I'm back up to 230. It just kills me. I know what it is though -- eating out. I've eaten out more in the past two weeks than I have in the past six MONTHS!! I can't wait to get some restriction again.

On a better note... I've finally gotten my booty moving. I've been doing Jillian Michael's 30 day Shred DVD three times a week. Mari Winsor Pilates another two days. And I'm parking far at work and walking ten minutes instead of taking the shuttle. Yay me!

Juno, that is terrific. I'm being lazy this week..but I might fit in some walking. Next week though I need to up the anti.

I just got back from a "girlfriends" weekend at a hot springs resort. IT was so fun and relaxing. But the kids in the room next door partied all night..so my internal close is messed up..so I didn't sleep at all last night (in my own bed). Sheesh...

Snow is melting but we still have some huge drifts. I head out Wed-Fri for a retreat related to my work...another hot springs...some days are just good!! I am trying to convince myself that I can hit the pool with all those others...Strangers I have no problem with..my peers, that is a bit tougher.

Thank you!

I ate out a lot last week myself and put on 4 lbs! EAting out will do it for me everytime! I'm back on plan this week and bringing my lunch to work.

Yay! That is great! I need to get back to the gym myself. I've taken a few weeks off and its time to get it back in gear! Tonight, its the gym for me!

Snow - yuck. I need some sunshine very badley, I'm going crazy with all the rain we are having!

I totally relate, I can wear a bathing suit for total strangers, but people I know, especially my work peers, that would be hard. I'm sure you will look great though...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
