Ok ladies, the scale may not be moving, but my weight must be redistributing since I've been working out 3x a week. A month ago I couldn't get these jeans buttoned, and today I wore them!!! Size 16's...a little snug in the waist, but I wore them comfortably all day! I'm so jazzed...back to the gym first thing in the morning! For the last 2 weeks I've been going 3x a week. I do the treadmill at 3.0-3.5mph for about 20 mins, the bike for about 15-20 mins and then aqua Water resistance weights working my upper body for about 20 mins. Must be working but the scale doesn't show it...

Here's a pic from when I first started and then another from today...you guess which one is which :(

Denise-- The smile says it all. I too ran into that same problem. I started working out and the scale stopped moving. I was so frustrated. Week after week not a loss. I came to the point of quiting. After about 4 weeks the scale finally started moving again. So, I'm living proof that you just need to hang in there. I was told that you can't lose pounds and inches at the same time. Never have figured that one out yet but it seems to be true. Please just hang in there. In the end it's worth it.

Keep up the good work.

My phone rang at 1:30 AM. My mom telling me that dd has a high fever and was crying for her mommie. When i picked her up from daycare yesterday there was a note on the door saying that a child in the class had strep. Well, guess what, now Macy as it. We drove 3 hours roundtrip and picked up dd. I called the dr and she told me that the office is open today and to just bring her in. So, they will probably just confirm what I already know and hopefully give her some antibiotics. It has been a longggg night. When I walked in the door at moms to pick dd up the smile on my babygirls face was priceless and she said "mommie is here to take care of me. She always takes good care of me". My heart melt.

Keep Macy in your prayers please!

Denise-lookin good granny! Awesome job!

It is funny... I am so tapped this week, ok more than tapped... I was afraid to go online and look at my bank acct because I was cutting it so close. I have not received any bounced check notices and Tuesday was the day I was really worried about, my ins and Y membership came out and I know i was close. but... on a happy note, they are paid, the rest of the stuff I paid is done and my car payment came out thursday, so I might not have $5 to my name but my bills are paid. So that being said... There is a country band playing at the local bar, which by the way is a 5 min walk down the hill from me. (big hill, can you imagine 3am snow and freezing walking up it). We don't have any country bars around here which sucks but I like this band, so I'm going to roll change and I'm going. Shoot... it only takes 1 good drink for me so I'm a cheap date. Oh wait... I don't bring dates there... Not that I intend on meeting anyone new but it is my home town bar - even when things were great with dbf - it is just my place... but when someone does get privilaged enough to get to come with me... they have to be super special...

silly isn't it????? I have met lots of people there, bikers.. bankers... and I am just me, not trying to impress anyone... just me

well... going to drink more coffee.. have to get dd up soon so we can get a bday gift, she is going to a party at a lazer tag place tonight, my dad is going to sit with ds. That should be interesting. he has never done more than an hour or so and he is going to be here for 4 hours.

      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.
