I am so happy-I made it to Onederland! Wow, haven't been under 200 lbs since early 2001. It feels great and I hope to stay away from twoterville forever and ever.

Way to go CeCe. That's awesome!! I'm hoping to be there by my b-day at the end of January and as of right now I have 30 pounds to go.

I'm so happy for you though!!

I really need to get back on the bandwagon too. I kniw exactly what you guys are talking about. I do great in the morning. My yogurt fills me up. Then usually I do good at lunch. Late afternoons, I do get the munchies but it is nights that all the wrong foods keep screaming my name. And of course, I have to answer. Hubby keeps filling the cookie jar and I keep emptying it. BAD BAD Kari. I keep remembering the old Lays Potato Chip catch phrase. "Bet you can't eat just one". That's me. Next fill, next Friday.

Kirajh - do you really need the Cookies in your house?? That's the thing with me - if it's there i will eat it - if it's not I won't... So I just don't buy things I like.. If your hubby just has to have the cookies then have him keep them somewhere else that you don't know about... just a suggesstion...

Jackie - I am here - just busy at work - 5 people got laid off this month 4 we found out about yesterday morning - i am really going to miss one

"Gary" our mail guy - such a great guy - he & his wife are the ones who gave me a ride home Saturday after drinking too much wine... I have been sort of bummed out for the last few days (i knew this was going to happen for a few weeks now)

I too haven't been making the best food choices this last week - wine, a little candy and last night thin crust pizza. Only walked 4 miles this last week - Sat & Tues 2 miles each day but did a 15 min mile on Tuesday.

The scales are proof - only down 1/2 lbs this week. But guess better than nothing.

Well all the candy is GONE - next party is on the 17th - which will involve drinking - am going to have to watch myself since i can't eat much so the wine really hits me fast... '

Took my GD out tricker treating last night - she's 3 - she was Spiderman (she's a little tom boy) - and it was great - my son is 36 and other 2 grand kids 16 & 12 so it's been a while since i have been tricker treating - so i did get a slow .50 miles in yesterday.

Ce Ce - CONGRATULATIONS :clap2::bounce::whoo: That is so great - ONELANDERS - YOU ARE DOING FANTASTIC.:bounce::whoo::clap2:

Phyl - Please have a safe trip - hope you are bring some cool clothing - it's still in the 90's here this week. :)

OK hasn't been a great week as stated above - but i do have a NSV

Yesterday went to Wendys' for lunch - had the chicken club minus the bread - while waiting in line looked up at the security monitor and saw this thin pumpkin (I had an orange pumpkin tee shirt on)

and at first didn't realize it was me - for the last few year - i did look like a big old pumpkin in it :biggrin1:

OK Ladies who like me have sorta been making little bad choices - we have to stop now - as this is how those bad habits come back - just a little of this a little of that - then next thing you know - BAMB

we are right back where we started... Today is a new day - and I pledge to make healthier food choices this next week... How about the rest of you???

Someone please throw me on this bandwagon!!! I think my scales are broke they have been reading 168 for 2 weeks now, whats up with that????

Plateau (sp) or you are eating more than you were - just little bits here and there or you aren exercising as much or skipping a day here or there..

I have read where people are doing everything the same and the scales just quit moving - you just gotta keep up the work and know that they will move again.

We have lost quite a bit of weight awful fast - maybe our body needs to catch up with it's self...

or maybe cuz sh*t happens :0) .... (hows that for an answer ;0)

Janet I am with you and the 2 pound mini goal. I am way to tired to start kicking up the exercise tonight though. :bored

I did really well today. I ate very little and was satisfied. I am not a Breakfast person anyway, never have been, and not always a lunc heater either. I know I am supposed to eat 3 meals a day but honestly if I start out the day eating I eat all day. I do better if I only eat when I am hungry and I don't get hungry until 4-5pm.

I discovered eggnog is in the stores now! How am I going to be able to avoid it for the next 2 months? :)

Frustrated I think we are all going to meet some more challenging things than we had up until this point with the holidays around the corner. We will have to lean on one another. LOL Thank GOD I have never tried the stuff and don't plan to. My sister just loves that stuff also. She is lucky though she is a skinny. LOL I on the other hand noticed McDonalds ice coffees about 2 months ago and have struggled a few times with those. Now that it is getting cold though I could careless about those. I have moved on to hot green tea. LOL

Just paid my bills - omg depressed - had to buy a new washer/dryer a couple of weeks ago - well such is life - I must look at it that I am very forturnate to have the $$ to buy it - alot lot don't...

Distant - after readingmy response - sounded a little cold - here's the rope we are pulling you aboard - want to join me and Jackie for our mini 2 lbs my next thrus???

        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
