Florinda sounds like HE is the confused one. I too would feel bowled over but you know he wasn't the one that brought you hope and all those things you said about him... being with him just helped you find that within. Hang onto THAT and let him just fade away.

I took a gun safety and basic shooting class with my friend Mary today. Super fun, learned alot, and we are both good shooting students.

Seattle Seahawks are going to the Super bowl!!!

The sad freaked out I am sick over it news...My EX plans to live in his car. He made me promise not to tell people we know so I have to carry this burdensome knowledge. I am horrified and mad because he has options. He has reasons for his insanity but does it even matter? Counselor says I am in classic co dependant relationship but without the traditional alcohol addiction. Maybe that is why I feel guilty beyond reason.

Dead eye Jane!

Have you ever seen that show "Intervention"? It is a good roadmap for separating yourself from abusers and really setting them up for help without dragging yourself down into their thing any further. Check it out. Its Tough Love.

Please forgive me for being so bitchy but why would anyone with a BMR of 3,000 calories a day need weight loss surgery? If LV were reading I think she might wonder the same thing.

The veterans forum thread about losing too much, a serious problem for a few. I just really wondered when the root cause was a high bmr that existed pre op. I ate about 2500-3500 cals pre op.

Not fasting today, headed to the weight room in a few minutes, going to try to do it myself, hold my head high etc. Also going to try to get in at least 1200 cals without any of it being crap, difficult here! I had a handful of peanuts in the shell just now, before my workout, I'm nervous as to what my reaction to them will be - I ate a single bite, A SINGLE BITE of breaded chicken tender last night and within 2 minutes had an occular migraine!

Yea, I was wondering the same thing...

Florinda, I'm so very sorry about your "friend"...he's an a$$ for unloading on you! Grrrr! I'm not sure how I would handle that, but you are doing the right thing by continuing to workout and hold your head high. Definitely not a good way to end things. He leaves in a month (I think that is what you said?) Anyway, good riddance to him!

Coops, I think you are probably just hormonal...I hope it passes soon. This "womanly" stuff sucks.

I did just have regular white cake but I'm going to not eat frosting anymore that is green or blue or purple etc. I don't know what kind of dye is used but OMG the next day to "see" the colors in the loo (sorry for being graphic) it sure is turning me off from traditional cake, that is for sure!

I haven't been able to fast and today should have been one but isn't. Sigh.

Tomorrow is a double workout day but I think I need to fast...

Sheila, happy belated birthday to you! The cake thing is funny...hey, whatever stops you from eating it!

Coops, what does the lip look like? Will you post a picture? I can't picture it in my head. I think it would bother me, too. But then again, wait and see what the surgeon says, maybe it's not something that can be fixed.

Florinda, I'm sorry about the guy. I just wonder if he was feeling guilty because he was becoming attached emotionally to you and he knows what he has back home. Glad you were able to make a decision about staying. It will be nice to have the money when you do come back to the states.

Denise, did you get an email from Bill? (I think that's his name, hard to keep track of all of the men!)

Sheryl, you don't need to feel guilt about the ex living in his car. I know you know that and it's easier said than done. The guy has had long enough to get his stuff together and find a place. This is his decision. He has got to move on with his life and get better. Hang in there.

Wanda, is there still a low on the scale? What about Curves? Did you check it out yet?

Kim, sounds like you had a great time last weekend. I always say that I think your life sounds fun. I'm sure it's not always fun but your attitude towards life and the things you do is something I wish I had in my life. :)

Fasting today. Doing good. I'm also doing a double work out. I worked out with my trainer this morning and I'm going to the Y to take a step class tonight. We'll see how it goes. I'll be thinking of you, Sheila, with my double work out tonight!

Happy Monday, Ladies!

OH MY GOODNESS, I almost forgot to share my really, really exciting news with my favorite 5:2 peeps! I'm going to post this on the public 5:2 board, too, but had to share with my favorites first!

Ok I started 5:2 I believe in August. I forgot to write down the date. Here are some exciting stats for you...

My start weight was 165. I am now 148. That is a 17 pound loss!!!!!! I would like to lose 10 more pounds.

My pants were a size 8. I am now in a size 6 jeans! I have some 4 skirts. Shirt size is the same, size small. I'm very small on top.

I have lost a total of 10.5 inches all over since starting 5:2!

This is the best part of all, my trainer finally gave me my body fat number this morning...ready.....!!!!!!!!

Started with a body fat of 24.25.

My body fat is now.......18.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is considered athletic! I am so excited about this. Can you tell?;)

I work out on my fast days and I really think this has something to do with the fat loss. My trainer was saying that my body is going right to the fat and burning it on fast days.

I am so happy so far with my 5:2 results!:)

Sarah, that is amazing results - amazeballs! Good on you m'lovely! *turns green with envy* x

Dee, I would post a pic if peeps didn't mind - not sure I would want to post it on the main threads, but here I feel 'safe', if that makes sense. Dont get me wrong, my tummy area is way better than it was! I dunno, perhaps it is me being daft!

I went to a kiddie birthday party and lunch at my nephews. I just decided I would not fast today.. and pull a 6:1 this week... should be able to do Thursday OK. I managed to get away from this weekend with no gain/loss... Ill take it.

Sarsar!! That is so fantastic! How amazing is that low bodyfat! So glad the 5:2 worked for you too. I think if I crack down a little more/better I should be able to lose maybe 5 more... I would like that, but at this time I am trying to maintain and see what that looks like for a bit.

Coops, If your daft than so am I! You are doing so well too.. I know its still going slower than you would like, but you are still chipping away at it, and I bet the tummy job makes such a difference. Do post a pic if you would like to share, you know us, we want to see/hear it all!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
