Frigid morning. Doorbell rings and it is a neighbor Stopping by to say hello. Lovely! She also has brought coffee and a donut for both of us. I declined the donut, feeling all virtuous while enjoying the coffee which I don't have often. About half way through, she says she is glad I like regular coffee. Well no wonder I loved it. Sugar and whole milk - who wouldn't. Of course,I finished every last drop and had more carbs than I usually have all day, much less at 9 AM. Set the carb monster loose but I got through without too much more damage.

I am so thrilled. 190.

192 this morning.

A snowy but wonderful morning at 194. Thank you.

Today 199. For Valentine's Day, let's be optimistic and say 187. Thanks for this.

Happy New Year to all of us. We are having a second chance at health and a better life. Not to mention a pair of jeans. Just made it to goal 199 today. See you for Valentine's Day

Merry Christmas everyone. So glad this is a New Year's challenge because right now I am short of goal by one pound. Checking in at an even 200.

Please add me. This is a kick.

Saw an old acquaintance at a party. As she passed our table, I got up to greet her and she kept walking. As I said her name, she looked at me blankly and then jumped in shock. She said she had seen my husband and had imagined the worst that he was accompanied by another woman. What a thrill. I've become the other woman in just better than 6 months.

I mean, I knew I was big. How big I had no idea until 84 pounds went missing. Six months out, and I feel exactly the same. People tell me I don't look the same and I take their word for it. Just went shopping for the Christmas roast. 7 pounds. A large piece. Shocking to realize I've lost 12 such large pieces with at least 4 more to go.

First a gain; now a stall. 203 this morning.

A week out seems too early to be worried about 3 solid meals. Work on the water, the protein ( shakes would be the way to go at this point ) Much more than that will be difficult. Perhaps pudding, a little mashed potato.

Freezing today but I'm warm inside. Weight this morning is 202. So close.

I find that food tastes a little flat. Not distasteful, just disappointing. Maybe just as well.

Weighed at the gym this morning. 205.

Thanksgiving was amazing. Sat between my little grandsons which was great by itself. But by the time I finished cutting up their food, the platter passing was over and everyone was eating so my smaller portion of turkey seemed ok even to me. And then, the drama! My wedding and engagement rings just slipped off my finger. Found fortunately but everyone be careful. Also know the hotel robe that never fit. Well it does now. Since I can't see the weight loss In the mirror or in my head, I love these NSVs.

Love this. Current weight 209 Goal for Christmas is 199.

Happy Thanksgiving! 209 this morning. Made goal with a pound to spare. On to Christmas.

A daily trip to Sbux has been part of our daily routine for years. It would be unfair to my husband not to go. They sell bottled cold water and I occasionally will have a tall coffee with Splenda and ft free milk. Then I discovered another option. Buy the water, get a cup of ice and fill it with a Pure Protein shake. Sip and enjoy. Bring the water home. Win-Win.

Down to 212. Creeping along to Thanksgiving. I want to meet that goal.

212 today. 2 left to reach Thanksgiving goal and I'm worried.

Count me in. 212 right now so it's certainly possible. Please no stalls.

Just a pound; 213 on 11/14

Weight today 213. Disappointed but I did slide into a size 16 so all is not lost.

Jiggly barely describes it. I have lost 70 pounds, am down several sizes. I can't really see the difference and feel fatter than before the surgery. My jello-ness and excess skin is daunting. This surgery is the best thing I have ever done and I regret not doing it sooner, but I wonder how long it will take to feel freer of the fat. I still am 30 or so pounds from goal .
