Requesting support for walk on June 26th -  I don't normally do this but since my in-laws helped my husband meet his fundraising goal, I feel like I need a fire lit under my butt...... On June 26th, I'm joining Team MGG ...

stalled. Ugh. -  Stalls suck. No way of getting around it. Everyone knows the drill - stick to your plan, stick to exercise, make sure you're getting enough protein &  liquids. Here's the importan...

Just blew away my self-doubt with a size 16 dress -   I gotta share this NSV b/c I'm just blown away. I paid for my bridesmaid dress this week b/c the shop just got it in a couple days ago. They're located in PA so they shipped it t...

Holy Shiz-nit!! NSV awesomeness... -  I gotta share this NSV b/c I'm just blown away. I paid for my bridesmaid dress b/c the shop just got it in a couple days ago. They're located in PA so they shipped it to me. Got t...

When the mind and reality don't connect - No, this isn't a post on schizophrenia. Basically, it's a rant. I'm having a disconnect from positive events and my negative habits resurfacing.  My reality is I did 3 miles at car...

the scale and I are separating for a while - I thought I'd make this break up public. The scale and I will be separating until the scale realizes the errors of his ways and starts telling me a number that makes sense. The sca...

not a place to rest - I shouldn't rest on my laurels. Just because I walked 10 miles last week, doesn't do me any good this week! I made my appointment at the cardiac rehab gym for Thursday between clie...

Ok, I'm putting my therapist hat on for this one. There is little...

Scale not moving but it's all good - I walked 8.5 miles as of today!!! I"m not worried about the scale being stuck at 205 lbs for the past week b/c I'm sure I'm at least gaining muscle mass. Size 18W still fitting ver...

OT: vent - arrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!! I just got off the phone with someone who I could not be paid enough money to speak to! I can't go into details b/c it has to do with my practice but the ...

Had meatloaf from a diner - risky, I know, but I seemed to tolerate it...

Addicted to nuts - Normally that shouldn't be a bad thing but they are high in calories/fat so I took the container of peanuts and divied it into serving size baggies..... Hopefully that will help me...

So close to onederland - that I can taste it.... Wait, no that's my yucky vitamins. Blech! But weighed myself this morning - even after eating a bit of breakfast - and it was 205.6! I'm so close to being u...

The whole numbers - Today I weigh 207lbs, so that makes 60 total pounds lost and 20lbs since surgery! I went to Goodwill between clients because my size 20W pants were becoming a bit too "low rise". A...

lab question - Copper -  So I just got home from my 6 week surgeon appointment and most of my labs are quite normal but one that had her stumped is my Copper Serum level (225 - high). She said that there ...

6 week follow-up - I was at my surgeon's office at 8:30a but didn't get seen until 10a and finally got to be done at 11a. Ugh! What a long morning. The good news is my lab work (after the nurse harra...

chilled strawberry soup -  Might sound a little odd to some, but YEARS ago Carnival Cruise lines had this soup in their dining rooms called Chilled Strawberry Soup. It was in their recipie book and I would ...

Big pouch, small pouch - It may be too early for this but I think yesterday was a big pouch day and now today is a small pouch day. Yesterday, I had no problem geting in all my protein and was actually abl...

More exercise - I walked the lake again today - mercifully it stopped raining for a bit this morning and is quite lovely weather. Despite the shin splints - yes, I should stretch better - I kept u...

Getting the exercise ball rolling -  So today I actually exercised before going to see clients - I wasn't under duress or guilt tripped into doing it, was actually walking on my own free will! That kinda reminds me o...

I have as many friends as I have years - So I'm 31 and I noticed I have 31 OH friends. Ok, so I recognize the distinction b/w IRL friends and virtual "friends" but welcome them all nonetheless! I had an interesting episo...

Exercise fights depression? - So on a side note, if anyone is watching the Preakness, you can see where I had my surgery! I'm still watching the wide shots and they haven't shown the hospital yet but it is lite...

Food & exercise apathy - Some of the recent posts on the forum have got me starting to think about exercise. I was talking to a friend yesterday and realized that as I never was too into exercise pre-op, w...

shopping in my closet - So I went thru my work clothes because I was getting tired of the saggy pants look and my size 18W pants fit me now!!! Size 20W is more comfortable and size 22 (and up) is falling ...

WOOOSAAAAHHH!!!! -  It's good to take a moment and just breathe....... Everyone say it with me - deep breath in, "WOOOOOSAAAAAAHHH!!!!!" and breathe out........... Hoping everyone finds their zen tod...
