Kathy's Slow Loser NSV List

[sunsett 2]

Kathy-WOW what a difference GIRL! You look so good now. My sister had a pictue of me on her fridge and it took a second for me to realize it was me. I totally didn't recognize the huge girl! That was really wierd!

Kathy, you look cute anyways. Glad you are doing so well. I am doing much better. Had a 5 lbs weight gain and that really motivated me to not feel sorry for myself. Going back to the gym has been a HUGE motivator for me. I am looking forward to my fill on July 17th. I also start with a personal trainer on Wed. next week. So far I'm down around 12 lbs but I see the scale moving South again with the exercise jump start.

So, this is my thread and I'm cussin'.

MY BMI IS 29.8.

I'm not Obese?! OMG! I'm not Obese! :faint:

Well, now. Yay me. :huggie:

I just can't believe it. I knew it was coming, but when it popped up on the little calculator? Wow. I'm just shaking my head, I guess I'll go tell hubby and call my mom and my sister? Wow.

Hey Trash mouth!

What's up with this... 179.0current?

oh geez.

You gonna start this crap up again and make me break out the diet pills. :biggrin1: You CANT weigh less then me.

Don't get too antsy, I was 179.8 this morning LOL!

I discovered www.sparkpeople.com and man was I eating some FAT in my diet! Once I began logging my food and getting some instant feedback on what I was shoveling down the ole gullet, I made some changes. Mainly, Fat Free dressings and less chips and crackers and cheese. I highly recommend it. I was *this* close to ordering the FitDay for home when Cheri mentioned Sparkpeople and it's all I need. Much easier to enter the foods I eat, most are on the list. And now that I have generated a good list of Favorites, it's pretty quick to enter my foods.

Anyhow, I think it's got me on the right track. I told it I wanted to be 145 by Dec 31st this year and it said I need to eat 1200-1550 calories a day and gave me ranges for fat, protien and carbs...as long as I exercise I "should?" get there, right? We'll see.

Wow, I haven't checked in here in a while!

here's a clothes NSV. Since I'm freezing cold all the time, I'm now keen on long-sleeved shirts. Go figure. So I go to Kohl's and try on the XL (in the regular Women's sections, not the Plus sized 1X, 2X or 3X I used to buy) and the XL is too big! WOW! So I now have 5 long-sleeved cotton stretch t-shirts in pretty fall colors in Large. Plain ole Large.

My numbers game isn't going very well. I'm sooo stuck on actual weight loss, even inches aren't budging much. I'm out of the Curves habit, and recovering from the Halloween candy habit. That one got me pretty good for a few weeks.

I thought I could finish this journey without another fill. I so want to avoid the fill/unfill game, but I give up. I have a consult Wed with a local band doc. A REAL band doctor. I'll get a flouro fill and discuss an endoscope with him. I'm tired of wondering if something is wrong with my little band friend. I'm 18+ months out, and haven't done a thing with my band in 13 months. No fills, nada. Time for a check up. I was hoping I'd be in MX with my sister getting her band, but she's not ready to fork over the cash just yet, so I'll not wait for her any longer. I want to see my band. I'll start with a flouro fill and go from there.

Hi Kathy, Great to see you again on the boards. I'm down about 25 lbs since June 6th. I am concentrating on the NSV and the other day I finally go into a size 22 jean. I was thrilled. Best of luck to our slow losers. We have to keep the faith.

Its so encouraging be able to share with other folks having the same slow loser issues.

I have lost all my wt mostly as a result of the post op and post fill liquid diet regimen. I have not lost any weight again in past 3 weeks.

Staying on diet has been terribly hard.

good luck to everyone.

Missy

I started in a XXXL dress shirt for work....and that was sometimes snug depending on the cut and I must confess I owned a few XXXXLs for those tough days. :peep:

I ordered two XL dress shirts last week to be "prepared" for when I would be able to wear them.

They came in....they fit. I dig it.

:heh:

They came in....they fit. I dig it.

:heh:

I dig it, too. Feels great, don't it?! :heh: Well done!

Hey, thanks for the kudos, folks! I have a digital camera on my Christmas Wish List, so I hope to be updating some pics soon. I keep running across old fat pics, I should post them, but not without some newer ones to compare! I'm not at goal, but the difference is amazing. I feel like me again. :peep:
