I am not in a good mood this morning!

I hate that TOM!

I gained 6 lbs this morning! So that's 2 yesterday and 6 this morning! 8 lbs!!!!

It's PMS time and I tried to eat my egg this morning and got stuck! I'm always more restricted during this time!

This last week, I upped my working out to twice a day! Swimming in the am before working my Triage job - 5am! Then when I get home, I ride my bike on the "weight control" challenge program that increases the intensity every 1 minute and constantly tells you to speed it up! Very annoying!! BUT DAMN you get a good work out in 30 mins! So that is 1.5 hour of working out a day! AND I gain 8 freaking pounds???

I know it's related to that TOM, so I just need to settle down! BUT it is so hard to work so hard and be so diligent with my eating and gain!:thumbup:

Now, miss dee. Let's be logical about this. You're a nurse and you know that it's physiologically impossible to gain 6 lbs of fat overnight. So it is only Water and it will go away. I know it sucks, but it's temporary weight and it isn't a reflection AT ALL of how hard you've been working. Think how excited you'll be when you LOSE 6 lbs tomorrow or the next day, yes?

Longer or shorter how about knowing what to do with it expertly no matter what size the pipe fitter lays.:thumbup: Yeah girls I said that... and tank me with two stiff tall ones ..pun intended....and some southern rock and I'll be using the pool stick for a stripper pole. ...I will. winks.:thumbup:

Okay friends. I'm unzipping my fly, letting it all hang out..................

I'm sitting at 285 and what I face is this:

At 252 I will be "officiallly" one hundred pounds off with Dr. K's office.

At 240 I am 100 shy of goal.

At 250 I am to reschedule with the plastic surgeon for a presurgical exam on a lower body lift, breast augmentation, two hernia repairs and a recovery period of three months.

Anything between 85-52 are stepping stones across the river.

What does everyone else have going on for their goals.

I'd like to shoot for the 240 as my next goal. That's thirty five lbs. I like how DEE does the math algebra on her weightloss, I'm starting to catch on. If you all want to go St. Patty bye Fatty, I'm okay. If the long haul one is better, I'm good as well. We can also split the difference and do a six week one, seven...we can do whatever we decide.

My vote is for: April first... April Fools. Call it April Full's Day, April Full's Weigh,

April's Cool Weigh

I appreciate your honesty Patty-girl! For me, working out makes me so 'frisky' - I can hardly stand it! AND I hate men lately! They haven't been so nice to me! I have talked to this one guy from the Springs for a very very long time. He's nice. He seemed sincere. He knew I have a weight issue and always said, "no big deal, you're such a sweety" -- well, he asked for a current picture -- Feeling like I'm not so fat and ugly anymore, I sent him the same pic as I have as my new little avatar! I haven't heard from him since! Not one word! AND he has deleted everyone of my email messages since that day! AFTER talking to him for 4 years, this is how he treats me? Just think if he had seen me 135 lbs ago! What a hateful, shallow man! Anyway, I think I'll go and see what treats they have at "Fascinations" - buy myself a new toy for Valentine's day! (aren't you proud of me for not heading to the brownies and Cookies? )

I can't say, I'm ready to unzip my pants and let it all hang out, but I've got some goals for myself too!

I'm 22lbs from my 40% weight loss goal, that will give me a BMI of 43!

I'm 52lbs from my 50% weight loss goal, which will give me a BMI of 39! Which is my goal for scheduling my plastic surgery!

My final goal is to weigh 138, Tom and I think a realistic goal for me is 170 - giving me a BMI of 25 which is a normal BMI!

I'm okay with 170. I'm 5-10 and feel I look good at 170.

I vote for the Easter challenge. I also like the longer ones.:clap:

I noted the wink Bella!

Hmmm, Easter would be good. I could maybe lose 12 more lbs by then and be close to 160. Of course I am going to Mexico in two weeks and staying at an all-inclusive. I wonder how much I can manage to gain??

OH!!! I meant to tell you guys. I bought a small electric ice cream maker and made frozen yogurt with greek yogurt and splenda. It was fantastic. So, for all you ice cream junkies (I know you're out there!) give it a try!!

I got an electric ice cream maker for Christmas last year and haven't used it once. I'm going to try that! Maybe I could add fruit too! That sounds so good! Thanks!

Sheesh Patty!

It's a little scary unzipping those pants and letting it all hang out!

I can't believe I was so revealing!

dee, can you get me the guy's address? I can come over there kick his sorry ass.

did you say your original goal weight was 138??????? Okay, mine is 140 and you're like a half a foot taller than me and have a larger frame. Goodness gracious, girlfriend, You'd look like a freakin' clothes hanger at 138. So, ummm, I'm thinking that 170 is a fantabulous weight for you.

I think that is a GREAT present for yourself! Besides then you will have it when you do have someone in bed with you and then you can still use it...together! Great idea!

I used to sell "Slumber Parties" products. Those were fun parties!

Hey! I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only one who finds "together" use great. I think it's the best of all worlds.

Oh I know! I know! It's just so disheartening to see the increase! It brings back those bad memories and makes you wonder if you're doing something wrong, EVEN tho you know you are NOT! IT's the old fat girl mentality!

The thing about that guy IS that I wasn't interested in a Love Connection, I was only interested in being friends. My heart belongs to someone else! But to think that someone wouldn't even want to be your friend because you're fat is the worst! He knew I have a band and I've lost a lot of weight, but none of that matters, I guess. He's not even mature enough to write me back. I wrote him twice and then decided he's not worth my time!

I agree 170 is best for me! AND WW says that I can weigh 150-170lbs to be normal! (atleast that's what they used to say in the old days)

I think that is a GREAT present for yourself! Besides then you will have it when you do have someone in bed with you and then you can still use it...together! Great idea!

I'd love those Slumber Parties! I never went to one!

Yeah! "together" use can be more enjoyable! IF you are with a partner who isn't intimidated by the toy! Those kinds of guys do exist, you know!

You should look it up on-line and see if they can put you in touch with a consultant and host a party! OMG! Serve some drinks and have a great time. It is girls only and we laughed and laughed as we passed that stuff around!

Its a freak thing. I tell ya just a freak thing. Just look forward to the morning after you've eaten a chocolate cake, chocolate sauce, ice cream, and..what...else...ummm, yeah, chocolate mousse, all day for two days and lost five lbs.

Dee, I'm up three lbsm today I'm thinking it was the salty mushrooms last night but who knows.

it totally doesn't make any sense to me! just like someone else said here that when she eats poorly she loses and when she's good with her intake, she doesn't lose! It's just the strangest thing!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      3. buildabetteranna

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
