The Very Scary Halloween Challenge

Hello,

I hope it's been a good week for everyone.

I "get" to have a sleep study tonight to determine if my sleep apnea is gone!

Remember to weigh in tomorrow!

I know I have sleep apnea but I can't sleep with anything touching my face. I have tried taking a sleep study on three occasions but I have never been able to fall asleep with the probes in my nose. I also know it is a lot better now, my wife tells me that I don't snore nearly as bad and she never notices that I stop breathing at night anymore. I also feel better rested in the morning.

Finally got the scale to move, down 2 lbs this morning to 256. I hope I can keep it off. On a good note I have to go clothes shopping again because my pants are too large so I guess I have been loosing inches. My waist size in now a foot less than what it was when I started.

That is an awesome feeling, I am experiencing the same with my clothes. Loosing inches is a great NSV.

I take benadryl when I have the study which the sleep doctor says is OK. My husband says I don't snore at all anymore. I never did stop breathing noticeably to my husband but my earlier study showed I stopped breathing 60-70 times per hour and my oxygen dropped to the 70's. I slept with the nasal pillows, soft cushions that rest against your nostrils, much more comforatble to me than the mask.

I'm checking in!! Not going as fast as I hoped it would, but every pound gone is a good thing. Happily, I feel like I am comfortable with my 4x/wk exercise routine, so it will only get better.

Fay here checking in at 184

JulieG checking in at 206.8. That's up .8 lb. Not going in the right direction. While I am surviving my husband being away for the month, I guess the scale is telling the story of how I'm coping. After that major disappointment on the scale, I hit the gym with all three kids in tow (they went to the childmind), had a fantastic food day and did another 30 min on my home treadmill while the littlest one napped. I need to turn this around...I did not spend all that money on this surgery to let a little stress get me down. I almost felt like not checking in today because I was so embarassed to gain 2 weeks in a row but I'm using this thread to motivate myself and get back on track I really don't want another gaining week and I have a MAJOR goal of hitting onederland before I leave on my trip in November.

Congratulations to you who are doing so great, you are inspiring! Larry, holy smokes on losing a foot around your waist, that's really amazing.

Checking in at 279.4. That's - 3.2 lbs, which is nice because the last two weeks the scale didn't move much. That makes almost 66 lbs (65.6)!

I'm checking in today at 277.6. That's another 2 lbs gone...and I'm on vacation so I am very happy about that!!
