Kristi

Bloodwork results are on my chart and they all fall within the normal range... YAY I guess if some are lower or higher than they want they will let me know. When I was overweight, they couldn't find my veins because they were too deep... now she says they roll around because my skin is loose... can't win for loosing i hate needles!

That is awesome! ! Having thyroid issues I know how wacky that is with metabolism. Yay for you!! How were your vitamin levels?? I just had my bloodwork done that day so I haven't heard about my levels yet... hopefully all is well. they blew my veins... so I have 2 bruises one on each arm... blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

So I went for my 2 year check up this past week. Was a little nervous because I couldn't remember what I weighed in at last year, and I've put on a little this year after switching up my thyroid meds. Anyways, I'm down 4 lbs and that has me at the 80% loss of excess weight! yay! My dr was very happy with my progress. I think I may start looking into tummy tuck

good luck on your new adventure in life Miss Kit!

They may have noticed, just don't know how to compliment you

I haven't read through the whole thread, but I am 2 years out... My hair got really thin for a while and I went with a short haircut... I got lots of compliments... and my hair is still short, but coming back a LOT thicker. Think of it this way, your hair got thin with you

My 2 year is next week. Sounds like we are all doing well

Hiya, I'm Kristi. I had bypass on 6/26/13. I am a computer teacher in a very small school district. I teach grades pre-k through 12th grade. I'm also an Educational Technology Specialist. I have run into several other teachers on the June board alone, so I thought it would be neat to see if we could get a group of educators on here to share secrets to successful eating habits in school. I know we are always rushed for time to eat and use the restroom! How many of y'all are having to deal with Common Core?

Checking in... It's the end of the school year and stress is all around me... so are my munchies :\ I give myself a 10lb window (stay in the 150's) so I'm still good. Ive started walking more regularly. my fitbit tells me when i'm lazy...

Carol, I'm in upstate NY

Carol, sorry to hear about your mom. I'll be lost when it comes to my mom.... So here is my weekly check in... I didn't lose any weight this week, but I managed to maintain. Tomorrow, my 6 year old and I are doing the Run or Dye in Rochester. It may take me longer to finish, but I think he'll have a good time

Hi ladies! Great to hear from y'all! I fluctuate between 150-160... I'm currently in a biggest loser at school and i'm in 1st place yay! I found that it was very easy to go back to bad habits... I may not eat a whole bag of chips in one sitting, but I could still eat a bag of chips in a day if making the wrong choices... Or peanutbuter cups... uggggh... I'm not willing to gain weight after the loss, so time to slow down and remember all the tips and tools we learned! I think we all lost weight and realized there is life out side of our support system here, maybe we should just make a habit of checking in weekly to see how we are all doing again.

Our wind chill is supposed to be between -20 and -35 but I don't think it made it so I guess I have to get ready for school. Was so hoping for a 2 hour delay this morning.

I'm so ready for the snow to go away. I need to go outside and play. Falling into old bad habits of sitting on my butt under a blanket.

Anyone else experience shoulder pains? I feel it is from bad posture. And sleeping on my side. Its gotten really bad. I need to build some muscles. Going to call the doctor once I get back home. I have a fitbit account but I haven't worn my fitbit in forever. My phone tracks my steps.

So what sort of crazy pants did ya wear?

I gotta get back to the gym in January. This is a crazy month!

Just do it! And have a great time!

I know your feeling. I hit 147 this week. And I haven't been trying to lose anything. I think I'd be OK if I hit 145 but I'm getting pretty boney. Definately need to work on more muscle mass. Tomorrow is our last day of school. Totally looking forward to 2weeks off. Heading to Georgia for the holidays. My oldest is supposed to get married while we are there.

How are you feeling?

RJ where are you?

Got my latest school id... what a hoot!

Mel hope you feel better soon

So I've been MIA since the start of school. Graceann, you are looking awesome! I've also gotten into the schedule of making it back to the gym working on getting some muscles back! I've gained a few lbs back but clothes are feeling bigger so I won't worry about that since I know I'm more active.

Good Morning friends! We are off on a mini vacation today. Taking the kiddo to the zoo in Buffalo and then tomorrow is "kids" day and we are going to see the Buffalo Bills. Not sure how my child decided the Bills are his team... I'm a Cowboys fan and hubby is a Browns fan... oh well at least we all root for losers bwahaha Then it's back to school! where did this summer go? and why didn't i get to experience any summer weather? oh yeah I live in Upstate New York. I'm about 45 mins south of Rochester, NY. We've lived here since 2005. Before that I grew up in South Texas. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
