Always glad to help a fellow loser.

I used to be a Water baby ( I literally dream of swimming, and drinking water), and now I find that now I have to get back into the habit..

Just keep it up, and it will fall off. I am so keen to see if I am still losing but I forgot to pack my scale :-(

That might be a good thing... You will work extra hard because you don't know where you are and you will have that exciting weigh in when you get home. Have a AWESOME time even tho it's work! LOL

You will do great:) I bet you will even surprise yourself on the amount you loose, when you return.

I won't lie, when I was home I used to weigh myself everyday. Now being away, it's like withdrawal!!

Somebody, throw me a scale!!

I took my first kickboxing class yesterday, every inch of my body was sweating I thought I was going to run out of there! I made it through the hour class I was so proud of myself and I feel great today! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

Plain water makes a difference? I only like plain water when it's hot and the water is cold.

Should just boil it then and drink at desired temp.

So after my last stint away in Madagascar, I am home, and my Dear friend Mr. scale has kindly reported 7lbs lost. Which brings my total to 49lbs down. So I am content, and bought a new pair of jeans 2sizes down, but fitted into a pair 4 sizes down, but was just a little to snug for my liking. Would never had got close 3months ago.

Well that's my update for today.

Trust everyone else is progressing nicely. For the over 50 ppl that had their op in March '13 there is only 3 or so of us still posting

Congrats!! Glad the trip went well. Losing that much while away is an achievement cause traveling can be challenging.

Congrats!! I'm glad you had a loss so far from home for so long!

I pray our other Marchers are doing well, this is quite an adjustment. We are still here if anyone needs us!!

Yay!!! Happy for your weight loss. I'm 9 weeks post op and l feel like I'm loosing slow. When I look at my starting weight for pre op and where I'm at now...well then I realize its not so slow. I would've never lost that amount without WLS. I'm really upset that my cravings for sweets is back:( I'm struggling with that urge!! I just keep reminding myself that I did WLS for the out of control diabetes. WLS put my diabetes in remission and that I need to fight the urge for sweets!
