    Clothes & Cakes

    What wonderful news and you look great! I can sometimes kick myself for not throwing things out too and then eating way too much of it, but the great thing about this tool is it's still there for us:-) Good luck with the rest of month three.

    Down 13lbs in my first week.

    Congratulations Rob on the excellent loss! It sounds like you're doing everything correctly and I know my nutritionist was okay with children's vitamins for a while (didn't really like it, but was okay with it). Good luck for continued success!
  5. It makes me so happy to read this. You deserve all of this happiness and more!!!

    Kicking my PPI - Day 7...

    Congratulations Carol! And thanks for the tip about Zantac. I've been off of mine for about a month (forgot to take for a few days and felt fine so just stopped all together) except for this past weekend when I felt really bad heartburn one day and took it in the evening for some relief.
  7. Good luck with your sleeve surgery!

    Shocker!

    Today when I walked into work my assistant principal said she had something she had to show me. I walked in wondering what it could be and she had these two pictures on her computer from last June at a teacher's retirement party. It was a shocker to me because this was from my heaviest (241) and I had no pictures from this time. I'll try to post them here. There really is a big difference.

    Period during my surgery date, bad?

    I asked the nurse at the hospital at my pre-op appointment about this because my periods were so irregular before surgery, she said it didn't matter for the surgery...but I think it would have been a pain to have to deal with the first couple of days post-op?? BUT I don't really know what a non-crampy, non-bloated period feels like, maybe it's not too bad. Can you change around your pills or automatically start the next pack to hold it off for a while?

    Back to it

    Well, today I started back to my exercise routine (after the long hiatus I took when my emotions were so out of sorts). IT KICKED MY BUTT!!! After about the third song, it was difficult to breathe, but I kept pushing through and I felt my body get used to it about half way into class. I almost dropped down to my 5 lb weights, but stuck with the 8 lbs. and I made it through. I couldn't quite keep up with the ab routines, but I did my best. Overall, I'm pleased with how easy it was to get back in the swing of an aerobic workout. I know before the weight loss, if I ever went a month or more of working out, it was so difficult to get back...I basically had to begin at the very beginning. Today I realized that my body is strong and understand that although there might be other times in life I have to take exercise breaks, it's really important for both my physical and mental health to exercise.
  14. Congratulations!!! You have done such a remarkable job!

    Ouch!

    Good for you Amanda! That's a great deal they're offering. I've taken a 6 week break from my exercise routine and plan to start back again on Saturday. I know I'll be so sore, but it's worth it.

    Fast food

    I eat at Subway probably 3 times per week for lunch. I rotate between a spinach salad and 6" steak and cheese or chicken breast (I take off the top bread). With the salad I have chicken added and eat about 2/3 now. I can usually eat about 1/2 the sandwich at a time and I wrap the other half for a late afternoon snack/dinner. I eat out for dinner 3-5 times per week and find soup or salad is usually a good choice for me. If I order a chicken, steak, or seafood meal, I can use it for leftovers the next couple of days, so if you're staying in a hotel with a refrigerator in the room, you'd have breakfast and lunch covered the next day??
