I actually have a .8 loss today. But still not really losing anything as I have wandered around this weight for 4 1/2 months now. It just teeters up & down. But at least it is below 216 which has been the average. Diet has been in normal ranges. Today it will be, too. Leftover chicken stirfry (I used celery rather than jalapeños to make an Asian style flavor, with sesame oil). Dinner will be tuna again.

CRICKLETY - I hope all is well with your peeper surgery today. And CONGRATS on the big drop!!!! How I wish I could have a big whoosh like you!

TAM - What wonderful news! I am so happy for you! You seem to have an awesome Dr. and health team rooting for you!!! You deserve all the hugs and cheers you can get! Your blood sugars are normal! Mine was 129 this morning, which to me is pretty low. I still take my Metformin. Do you still take diabetes meds?

HIMI - congrats on yet another .4 down! Although you don't seem to make a big deal of it, it is a fantastic loss!!!!! You are melting away at a fabulous clip!!!

BARB - I hope all is well - I didn't see a post from you and I guess you ARE super busy!!!! I hope you are rewarded with a good loss, too!

CHRISSIE - I bet you are posting at the same time as me as we seem to be doing lately. I just refreshed and did not see anything from you yet, but that could change in a second! I am not changing any formatting and I hope the lines line up as you require. And I hope you see a GOOD LOSS today!!!!!!!

I got up way too early again. And I went to bed at a reasonable time last night. Just can't seem to sleep past 3 pm lately! I WILL be taking a nap again. I am not even starting work until late morning today. I will probably go back to bed after this post and another cup of coffee. You all have a great day!

BARB



happy anniversary too!!

Hooray for your WHOOSH Cricket-- I hope the next time we "see" you , you are seeing everything clearer!

WOW Tam what a testament to your WOE/WOL-- that your Doctors were overcome with emotion seeing the positive changes so far for you-- your story is bound to help many others. Which is awesome.

Paulette I sincerely hope that this "below average" day is just the first in a string of many more for you-- weight-wise of course

Hey Chrissie this little bounce is nothing-- you are so close to reaching and passing a 50 pound loss, I am rooting for that for you this week

Barb, Jodi, I hope you are feeling strong and keepin' on this week--

Well I am off to town-- left my phone in my daughter's car, so its a good excuse to head out fore a bit ... might find myself stopping at the Salvation Army store on the way home to look for a sweatshirt that fits (except its not really on the way home... shhhhh )

hi.trying to type lookimg through huge magnifyer..here is the deal.. I have bad astigmatsim in the left eye.separate opertion called PRK to shve off the eye to change the shape.$1800. bucs or I can have glasses to see well with.. bifocls no less. So glasses it is. Tje right eye hurts..the other never did at all. He gave me the$400 upgrade lens for free in this eye. He felt bad that the correction was not good and not his fault either so he is just a nice guy..he said maybe that would help the cost when and if I had the other surgery. I would do if if i had that kind of money floating around. Not this year. Can only hope this eye works better.. it is already improving throughout the morning.So that is it for the peepers..back tomorrow for 24 hr f/u n then next week again.

Paulettie..I did gain that 30 pounds this summer so not ahead my friend... I am not sure why this fast loss. If you knew what i am eating you woul dnot either.
I really could not red the other posts so I will quit while I can..

PAULETTE......another 0.2 out of the way my dear; slow & steady wins the race!!

HIMI......another 0.4 out of the way for you too!
thanks so much....i hope to see that -50 this week also, but of course after today's gain i am skeptical!

TAM......congratulations girlfriend! 50.6 lbs you NEVER have to see again

CRICKET.......jeepers creepers, so many problems with those peepers


BARBARELLA.......where art thou

i am outta here! scott won 2 tix to see peter frampton tonight, so that is where i am headed
rock n roll baby
see y'all tomorrow! have a good night

Hi Y'all,

Down .8 lbs, but even better I reached a new milestone. As of today I have lost 50.6 lbs! It has been a couple of pretty awesome days. I have a question for y'all. I took some new pics today to celebrate. I wanted to post new during pics, a new profile pic, and when neither of those worked...I tried posting the pics in a post. I am striking out. I usually can figure these things out, because I'm pretty tenacious that way. However, it is a no go on all three. And I have posted in the tech portion under a forum already started...a year ago...doesn't look like they got any help I also looked in faq, followed what they said to a tee...nope, not working. Here are the 3 things I have tried:

1. During pics, tried to upload new ones, get a message saying there is not enough room. So I resize them, still not enough room, not even for one. I tried deleting the during ones I have...goes to a blank screen.

2. Tried uploading a re-sized new profile pic, deleted old pic, uploaded new pic, shows the pic in the box, but when I hit save, gives me an error message: Photo not uploaded. I went completely out of profile pic and came back in...showing new pic...but when I post it is still the old pic.

3. So as a last resort, I hit image in my posts, I get a little box that says I need to put my "text" in it. I am confused. If any of you can help I will appreciate it.

Cricket: What a great story about how you started this WOE! Very inspirational! And huge congrats on your loss! WTG!! Praying your eyes are better!

Chrissie: Thank you! And I hope I haven't messed your lines up too much. Sorry for your bounce up, but you know hat what goes up, must come down...or something like that.

Paulette: We are twinsies again today! Congrats on your loss! I'm praying for many more! I am on metformin and the new drug Victoza...I was kinda hoping she would drop one, but maybe she is waiting to see if I "stick". Yes, my A1C and fbs are both normal, but I think she will probably wait until at least the 6 month mark...which is in January. And thank you for my congrats!

Himi: Thank you and I really do hope it helps someone. Hope you had fun shopping today.

Barb: Happy Birthday and Anniversary! I hope you day is blessed!

BARB - Happy Birthday and Happy Anniversary!!!! You guys must be out celebrating! So I hope to see your happy post soon!!!

TAM - Congrats on over 50 lbs lost!!!!! Awesome! Wonderful!!!!! I always use TinyPic to upload things to this thread when I post. After you upload on its site it gives you a code you can simply paste into your post. No need to hit the attachment button or anything!

http://tinypic.com/

copy the text for the bulletin boards.

I upload to my in progress photos, too, but I never have the problems you have? Don't know why you should get those messages???? Oh well... Try the tiny pic. I LOVE photos!!!!!


CHRISSIE - have fun at that concert!!!!!


CRICKET - Good luck with the sore eyes. I hope you are much better in a couple days!!!!!

HIMI - Congrats on another .4 down! I hope you find a great buy at the Salvation Army!

Ed & I stopped at the Mexican restaurant this afternoon. I had the ribeye & shrimp, grilled, with cheese on top! It came with the beans and rice and junk of course, but I gave them to Ed. There were some green peppers and onions grilled with the steak, but I only had a tiny bit of that. All in all, it was very low carb. I could only eat about 1/3 of it as I drank down 2 big waters before eating! And another during the meal! I was thirsty and it sure filled me up. So I have a nice big lunch for tomorrow. Drank more than usual tonight, too - and 3 cups of coffee to boot! My weight looks terrible now, and I hope I can pee some of it out before morning! If my weight is up in the morning, it is all the fault of the super liquid overload! I hope not, though. I REALLY want to see it down again in the morning, but if it is up I am not going to fret. My calories were pretty low today - only 1046. It is all the fault of the giant glasses of cold ice water which tasted so great.

Still bleeding, and I hope the pills start working for me soon!!!

Great milestone Tam! I must have gotten too distracted making straight lines for Chrissie-- I noticed she was getting close to 50 but totally missed that you were as well! Huge Congrats!!

Tam, to use the image feature you have to have a URL for the pic you want to use-- in otherwords it has to be published on the web somewhere. I have never had luck getting pics to show unless I upload them to my gallery in this forum first, then copy the URL from there, and insert it where it says 'text" when you click that "image" icon when posting. Hope that makes sense.

Right back to where I was. I knew I would be up again. sigh. At least it did not show higher, and of that I am glad.

I tried to stay up later last night but I still woke up at 3:30 am again! For some reason, I just wake up at that time! I do not want this to become a permanent habit. I will do my morning things and emails and stuff and hope to be able to go back to bed. I will stop back later to see how you all have done. Have a nice Thursday
