Congratulations to you on hitting your second goal!! I'm so proud of you!! I'm down to 147. I have 2 pounds left to be at goal!! I don't think I need to go any lower.plus I'm almost 5ft. 7. My husband is already telling me I need to put weight back on..Lol anyways.. I'm very happy for you!!

Hey.. hope you had a great Thanksgiving and had your 2 baileys!!! I had a glass of wine and a mud slide... oooohhh yum!! The scale says I'm up by 3 pounds but I'm not going to stress it. Back to the grind come Monday!!
Talk to you later!!

I agree there will be a lot of tempting items!! At this point though for me I look at it like this. I am only 5 pounds away from my goal weight. I am going to enjoy all the goodies I want. Not that I can eat much of it and at the endof the day iI can still say I dang sure didn't eat like I ate last Thanksgiving.. Lol
I had a glass of wine last night while I was cooking. First time I have actually drank since before surgery. Caught a total buzz.. Lol hope what I cooked last night turned out Ok. Lol guess we will find out later.. Lol
Anyways what I am trying to say is don't worry about one day of indulgence. Enjoy it and drink 2 baileys.. Lol Have a Great Thanksgiving, I will be thinking about you while I am sipping on my wine..

Have a great Thanksgiving!!! Going to try not to graze all day on all the snack trays!!! Lol

Have a Happy thanksgiving! I know i am thankful for this second chance at being "normal and healthy" :-) Thanks for the tip also on making sure to eat enough calories? I struggle with that one all the time, i don't want to eat too much but i don't like the weak feeling i get when i stay under 800 calories :-)

Congrats again on the awesome job! and i know you will meet that goal pretty quickly :-)

Look at you!!!!! 149!!!!! Ok I'm a little green with envy... Lol Lol
I'm so proud of you!!! I'm still sitting here at 153... been here for awhile. I keep bouncing between 155-153. I'm trying not to stress it though. Anyways...
I'm very very happy for you!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Woo hoo you made it to the 140's!!! You are doing sooo great :-) We had a funeral this month and had to drive up to Canada for a week. I had a few drinks that week but stayed high protein , low calorie etc... but have been stuck at the same weight all month. I am guessing partly because of that... It's a real bummer!
I am so glad to see you doing so well, it gives me hope that maybe i am not totally stuck here and can get to my goal at some point.
Are you working out a lot these days? i'm still only walking in the mornings about 3 miles quickly but that is it. I also tried bumping my calories 700 or 800 to 900 or 1000 to see if that helps. I've been really tired these days.. My net calorie count with walking ends up being somewhere near 650 or so. Curious to see how you are doing it and maybe i need to mix it up some more??

Take care beautiful!! ;-)

PS - i was typing on my phone last night and such a pain :-) Ditto to the sleeve not taking away cravings... That part stinks. It reminds me this will still be a life long change but good thing the sleeve rocks at keeping me from going TOO crazy... Although i can tell i can eat more now than at the start. I know its that we have healed and all of that but still freaked me out and i try and be careful :-)

Take care and GET THOSE PICS UP lol ;-) <hugs> :-)

Thanks so much! It was a fun night:-) Its always good to hear from you! Im looking forward go seeing your pics, but i am sure you loom fab :-)

Ttys :-)

Heck yeah hair hair everywhere but on my head. I have to clean the drain out three times before I finish the shower. But I have noticed it's started to slow down a little, thank God! Was starting to think it never would. I'm taking prenatal vitamins with a extra prenatel DHA (not prego but figured they couldn't hurt especially with all the hair loss) I also take biotin, fish oil, b12, A, & E.

Well....I've had some downs but I'm getting back on track. I was going back into old bad habits thus weight loss screeched to a halt but I had a good "come to Jesus" and have started losing again. You?

Hey girl!! The scale finally moved!! I started changing up my diet and it seems to have worked. Hair is still thinning but it is what it is I guess.. you doing Ok? How did the wedding go? Anything else knew or any tricks you have learned ? Talk to you later.. where are some pics???

Hello! i just did the same and got rid a a huge load of clothes! it felt so great :-) I am all over with sizes depending on the cut, and style. I have a couple of pairs of size 10's and an 8 even but if i try the skinny cut jeans i need much bigger ones lol. Still way better than my 20's before!!! I have been really slow losing the last month. I still wonder if i eat the correct combo of calories and protein and all of that. My hair is horribly falling out starting at the 4 month point :-( I took your lead though and got my hair cut also!! it really does feel a lot better. I think you might be on to something with why it hurts to have a pony. I get the same thing when i try. it's weird? I'd still rather have thinning hair than an extra big bootie lol.

Definitely send some pics! I figure if anyone see's me here than they must have the same things going on in life so i don't worry. but i don't post to the general friends group on face book or anything. Too much pressure their on what people i don't care as much about will say. I have told my firends and family though, it was too hard to try and explain why i eat so little at meals lol.

Take care and looking forward to seeing a pic or two!! :-)

I feel like I am on a never ending stall!!!
Or like I am in Quick Sand!!! Since 8/22 I'm down by only 10 more... geez
I finally found some motivation and joined the gym today. I am going to try to go at least 3 days a week. We will see.
My hair is falling out like crazy. I'm trying to figure out how I'm not bald yet!!!
Maybe if I ate the protein I need and remembered to take my vitamins it would help. Key word though is to remember!!!
How are things going for you?? Are you having hair loss??

Im glad you had a really good vacation! That stinks you got a little sick, i have had that happen a couple of times also. It really is not fun!! but i wouldn't change a thing!! Love the idea of a hair cut, i have been thinking about that also, but Karl says he doesn't notice so i'll wait as long as i can before i try it. For now i try to be as careful as possible washing and combing since that is when the massive clumps fall out :-( not that it will help but it makes me feel better lol

I also SO agree, and am so happy we did this!! It is the best thing i have ever done for myself and so hard to believe that not only am i healthier i have some super cute clothes and don't cry when trying them on anymore ;-) It is amazing to really not be in constantly hungry and in self destructive mode because i failed again at losing a couple pounds mode.

You keep up the good work and take care of your awesome self, no more making yourself sick young lady :-) You should get some pics up of yourself!! You are such a beautiful girl i can only imagine how awesome you are looking :-)

Take care miss you too! TTYS!
