Hi @@lorri716 just checking to see how you are doing. Hope everything is well.

Hi there. I am doing good. I was wxhausted yesterday cause mom had a rough night the night before so I was up every 2 to 3 hours. My scale is finally moving again, so that made me happy. I did a workout yesterday for the 1st time in a month, felt pretty good. I hope you and your family are well. Are you ready for the holidays?

I'm glad to hear you are well also. I wish I was off for a few weeks. I did most of my shopping but still have a few things to get yet. I hate shopping. I went to look for a casual outfit for tomorrow night for the hubs xmas party for work, god that sucked lol. I did end up w jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Hopefully both fit cause I didn't try them on. Did I mention I hate to shop lol. My weight hasn't budged. I'm frustrated cause I haven't hit onederland yet, I know I'll get there I just need to push harder.

Hi, good to hear you are doing well. Yaay almost at 200 that's great! My weight loss has been very slow this past 10 days I been 190 and 191, but that's ok with me. I knew that stalls happens, I need to get better with the exercise. As far as food I'm still doing good. I still have some shopping I need to do. Hopefully I will get it done by this weekend.

Oh my I forgot to mention that we went to belk and saw a black Michael Kors dress and my husband and daughter insisted on me to try it on. I tried the large one and it fit!!! Oh my I was so excited. I didn't get it cause I refuse to pay $120 for a dress. Well my daughter found the same dress at Macy and she got it for $49 on sale so she bought it for me for Christmas!! I will be posting some pictures for New Years, that's when I plan to wear it????????????

That's so awesome! I'm finally back to a gym routine. I've made it every night this week. I feel good. Hoping to have a good bm in the next day or so. I've been doing the BOT and let's just say nothing is moving. Hell I'm probably 199 and don't know it cause I can't go lol.

Merry Christmas

[lorri716 256]

Well I'll find out tomorrow if I made it through the holidays without gain. God I hope so. But I'll be strict starting tomorrow. I have my 4 months follow up on the 4th of Jan. Hoping for onederland before that.

@@lorri716 Merry Christmas! Hope you had a great time. I finally got a new phone my other one was not working properly, it kept turning off.

I had my 4 1/2 month follow up appointment today and all my blood work was good. Only thing I need to add is the Vitamin B12 super excited!! I have lost a total of 61lbs since I started my pre-op diet. I weighed today 192 lbs at my doctors office. This last weeks have been hard since they are food everywhere, but good thing I was able to lose couple of lbs instead of gaining. I need to stay focus cause I feel like this is where I could slip and start old habits. I need to go back on tracking every single thing I put in my mouth. I been doing good to stay away from carbs. However exercise not to good. I need to commit to do at least some walking. Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

You look fabulous. I have my 4 mos check w the NUT on the 4th and the Dr on the 14th. I was supposed to see the Dr on the 4th too but he cancelled and rescheduled. I guess that give me 10 extra days to lose a little more. I'm still not in onderland. I've been bouncing between 201 and 203 for 2 weeks now. I'll get there eventually I guess. I'm glad you're doing well. The weather here is finally winter like weather, which I hate. But I'll be back at the gym tonight. I wasn't feeling so hot last night.

@@lorri716 you know I feel the same I been 191-193 lbs for the last 3 weeks and feel kind of guilty when I eat something that has too much sugar or extra nuts, I tell myself if maybe I didn't ate that I would be below 190 but you know what this is a lifetime change and we can't go forever not eating something we just need to learn to have a small portion, I know it's easier said than done but it will be something we have to work at for the rest of our life. On the bright side we went for a 1 hour walk!! I felt good. Let's keep it up! I know if I was in any other diet, around this time I would have gone back to my old habits and this time I will not let it happen.

I'm totally with you on the old habits. I'd have ditched this 2 months ago. I know my time is coming to hit onederland, and I know what I need to do to get there. I'm working on it. Like we've both said a million times, this is for life.

Happy New Year!! 2016 to be the best year ever! I'm finally 189 lbs after 3 long weeks. My New Year end celebration was very good, went out with my husband and I actually felt pretty and comfortable in my own skin. I only had half of a margarita not bad at all.
