    Thanksgiving Tips

    My doc emphasizes that it's a holiDAY - not a holi-WEEK! Just keep that in mind always. Friday is no different than Wednesday. Starting the day with a 5K is amazing! Also a suggestion from my doc. The extra movement will help offset the choices you make the rest of the day. My husband, daughter & I will be doing a bridge walk - it's about 5K as well. It's not an event, we're just doing it on our own. I'm looking forward to that.

    Have you ever?

    I'm fighting a 5 lb swing - it's scary as hell! But I know what I'm doing wrong & when I get scared, go back to doing what's right. The tool is there - I have to remind myself to use it sometimes.
  5. It's not really supposed to be a diet drink as much as to help curb cravings. At a year out, I'm having a major issue with craving sweet things. I haven't been able to find anything that brings up red flags, but I'm still not sure if it's an ok thing to use. Has anyone had any experience using Plexus Slim?

    Smoking....need advice please!

    Just quit - you're having this surgery to save your life - to at least be healthier, right? Why would you continue to kill yourself by smoking? Might as well not have surgery if you're going to continue...

    I see it now

    You look amazing! I totally get the not being able to see it thing. You're not alone! I'm down from a high of 360 to 232. I still see the bigger me. A lot of that for me is that my stomach is still big. I've lost butt, boobs, legs, thighs, arms, but my stomach is being stubborn. Hopefully one day, we'll get there in our minds. I know other people see it, but my mind is just way behind schedule.

    4th of July Challenge

    I'm at 233 again this morning. I've teetered with 2lbs this week, but I also just got my lovely monthly visitor, so hopefully next week will be better. Better than a true gain, I guess.

    Nosey co-worker

    Oh, this is the type of person you need to put in their place real quick. "Thank you for your concern, but you only know about my situation because you were listening in on my personal calls - I did not intentionally to share this with you. I am not interested in discussing this with you, as it is a personal matter that does not involve you." If it persists, speak with your and/or her supervisor. I feel for you...I'd be so pissed!

    What was your past slob memory

    It's time for a new therapist! One that doesn't believe that your problems/issue are real will never be able to help you.

    4th of July Challenge

    Weighing in today at 233. My loss has slowed down considerably over the last month. I really need to stop letting the bad stuff into my diet, but I am still addicted to it and my new tummy doesn't reject it. I have to work on my will power...and a little more exercise probably wouldn't hurt either. sigh... One more example of "This is NOT the easy way out!"

  18. If your insurance company doesn't approve without the information from the other Dr, I would have a lawyer to draw up a letter demanding your records. That's BS - they are YOUR records!
  19. Anyone else not able to update weight right now? I want to see my ticker move!

      :) I want to see it move, too, but it's not moving only because I've been stagnant for what seems like an eternity! Being patient.......the inches are still changing even if the scale isn't. (I know you must be referring to a technical problem with the tickers, but I couldn't resist.)

    Salads!

    Lettuce and many fresh veggies are not my friend anymore. They just don't "sit" well. I do miss salads...sigh...

    Homemade To-Go Snacks

    Great idea! I'll have to look for those containers too! I keep a jar of nuts in the pantry and one at my desk, but I'm worried about portion control.
