Thanks, Barb! I am lucky. I have so much hair, I don't know if I will notice if some falls out! I have three girls, all of them are lovely! Jody

Wowzer! Fabulous!

That was interesting! Thanks for sharing it!

Cutie pie, for sure!

Down about 50! Ignore the weird face, need to work on selfie technique!

Lol

Good morning all! 1/3: 196 1/10: 193 Dedicating myself to drinking more water!

That's SUPER, KEN!! (See what I did there)

I notice that many of you record your weight right down to the ounce. I am curious to know which scale does this? Mine reads whole and half pounds only. what brand? why do you like it?

Thanks for the info everyone!

I will be 12weeks on Wednesday. I am 5' 7", HW: 239, SW: 229, CW: 195. I go to the gym, I have not cheated, yet my loss since surgery is only 35 lbs. I am using an old, cheapo scale, and I hope the doctors scale has better numbers!! I go for my 3 month on Wednesday! I would say that about half of the time, I have been engaged in some sort of stall ( lose for a week, stall for 2)! I have decided to up my Water intake as this seems to be the only areas in which I am lacking! Good luck to you, I am sure it all works out in the end!

Aren't you just cute as a button? Great work!

Lovely! How proud you must be! I will be 3 months out on the 8th.

I don't understand this. I had surgery 10/8 and have lost about 35 lbs. is this not good? I have not even cheated once! So, I will be pretty ticked if this is not good!

Thank goodness. I'm a superhero after all!

Weird. I think there times when this behavior is not a threat at all. I have to taste the food I am cooking to make sure that everyone at the table is not going to be grossed out by my culinary delights. So, when I have that spoonful of lasagna in my mouth, I chew, hem, haw and spit it out. I think I am a super hero for doing this, too.. Also, I ate a clam on NYE and chewed and spit because that rubbery little mollusk tried to choke me.

Thank you!

Checking in on my birthday! Weight this morning: 196 Goal weight: 181 This challenge is important to me as I am sure that I have not been in the 180's in about 15 yrs!

My goal was 196. I weigh in this morning at 196.5! Close enough!!!

RJ, great minds think alike! I DO get on the scale daily, however, but it does not "break" me when it doesn't move. Happy new year!

Wow! 5 weeks?? Amazing! You're doing great!

I am about to write something awful. I am slightly scared of a possible backlash, but...... After years of dieting and being hyper focused on food, I have made a conscious decision to not do that this time around. Where I had been successful with dieting and logging my food, I do not do that now. I don't want to think about food that much again! I don't want to name my sleeve because, again, I don't want to give "dieting" so much attention (I'm ignoring that b***ch). I don't talk about my surgery (I ignore that guy,too) I just am living my life, making good choices. It is not my goal nor my intention to be an athlete, a paleo/clean/vegan/gluten free eater. Disclaimer: this is what works for ME. You all do what's best for YOU. AND, I like reading about guys like skippy and gals like Ursula. I guess what I am trying to say is, don't think so much about food and weight loss. Cut yourself some slack. I know you would be sorely missed, but, take a break from this forum. As a host, I wonder if you are internalizing not only your own issues, but others issues as we'll? Because you seem nice like that.

What-the-actual-heck is going on today? So many mean people! Just calm the heck down and just do YOU. Never mind what others are doing? This is so far out there, OP could not be for real!

I have a new toy! It's a maroon/black, knit skirt that a friend made me buy at Target, back in November. I have since worn it to no less than 5 holiday events. Sometimes I switch the sweater, but, that skirt!! I love it!

I went to the international market and got 2 lbs of Turkish tea, then mixed in my Jasmine Oolong!! Stretchhhhhhhhh!
