No game

Amy whatever your middle name is? tuggle!!! You are just in the beginning stages. Your weight loss is on par with mine. Are you going to call me a failure?? I know I want mine gone now too But I am turning a new leaf and allowing myself time. I will wait a year and if I'm not almost at goal then I will start thinking something might be wrong, stress about weight is probably not helping you lose weight either..

Good luck to you Sasha

You know I go back and forth about my weight loss, somedays I'm so happy then others I get frustrated or disappointed, but lately (and I now I might get flamed for it from the super achievers here) I have told myself I'm going to give myself a year before I start thinking of myself as a slow loser or the dreaded "failing" at weight loss.

Fiddlemam, He's our man!

Look at you beautiful girl!!! Great job 11-13-12 for me beginning weight 235 Today's weight 171! -64

Hey good idea! We have the America’s Cup sailing races coming up here in San Francisco I'm a couple of months.... Imma going to build a boat, put on my custom sail and kick some ASS!

Surely someone can come up with a good use for my period panties

You know the food funeral thing is a tough one.. When I knew I had a date I went to the store before my pre op and picked up a pint of some kind of ice cream (can't even remember the flavor how sad) went home and ate half of it that night and finished it the next day.. After I ate it?? Nothing, it was just gone it didn't feel special it didn't make me feel better, in fact it did nothing for me except make me feel crappier about myself... Fast forward to today, I can eat normal again so if I wanted a bit of ice cream I could. So I guess what I'm saying is don't sabotage yourself with thoughts of "I need to eat this now because I can never have it again" Oh and yesterday was my daughters birthday we went out to Thai food and I also had a couple of bites of cake

Bubblehood! HA you crack me up! Wonder how RG is doing? I haven't heard from her since she went to Mexico?

Haha!! I was just folding some clothes to add to the pile! You got me!!!

I don't "take it" per say but I drink a powerade zero several times a week that has added potassium...

Oh and I think what Angelina did was good for her, I also carry that gene in my family (my nana was tested before she died:( ) But a very important fact!!! The company that markets the 3000 dollar test patented the GENE!! So no one else can do anything with it, like research/ testing! It's in front of the Supreme Court now to see if its even constitutional (NO) to patent a gene!

I wish rollergirl where here because she lives in New Zealand also and she spoke in detail on her thread about just how discriminatory New Zealanders are against fat people! So discriminatory in fact that at a 30 bmi she was judged and ridiculed on a daily basis -__-

Here's her profile page You can PM her from there... http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/user/38009-divagirl78/

There is a thread here called "Only 7 wks post op & pregnant." The girl that started that thread still comes on here to update.. The last time was just a week or so, if you post there or pm her she may be able to help you out.

Wow happiness on a scale of 1 to 10.... I would have to say for me that's a moving target! I wish I could answer this as a person at "goal" But somehow I don't think that will change it much. I am thankful everyday for my life, marriage, kids and friends. And spend parts of my day (especially if out shopping) deliriously happy with my weight loss so far. But there are events in my life, like the death of my brother, that will always be a missing peace to my happiness puzzle. So am I happy? Yes! I am. But as I hold my happiness in one hand, I also hold my sorrows in the other.. Is it possible to have both? Can I have a happiness scale, and a scale for my sorrows I collected along the way? A quote I've always liked because I may have sorrows but those sorrows are because I experienced the joys of life and people.. “Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.” ― William Faulkner, The Wild Palms I've been up since 4:30 this morning so this might sound delirious, I think I need a nap.

No, I had to wait also... At least that's the way I remember it! I was hitting the pain pump pretty hard I do however remember drinking that nasty blue stuff!

Glad your doing well I had a good day with my daughter. Up with the chickens today because she had a recruiter pick her up at 5:30 am!! Are you up and walking?
