Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Very well, thanks for asking. A few tweaks to my cardiac meds, and hopefully I will be set for a year. Unless medical breakthroughs between now and then. I need a heart surgery they tiried to do it in December, it was not possible due to interference with a nerve. So my only alternative is to have open heart surgery, well I dont want that. So I am going to try to remain stable until a new procedure hits Boston, which is in trials now. They will insert a balloon inthe cathter to move my heart from the nerve so they can do the ablation. So we are jsut trying to hang sting on the meds until then..

Oh ty so much Joy-- my hubby tells me that all the time, he gets mad when I dont believe him.

Yeh all my pantsa re baggin in the crotch..It is ticking me off. But I have these massive hips, so to get pants over them, they tend to bag nevery where else. Hope the continued weight loss will change that.

Hoping for a better pict for the end of the challenge. Perhaps even some shorts if the weather permits. I am going to be at camp all weekend so perhaps I will get some picts of me in something else.

I wish I looked like you in a bikini Joy-- Then I might feel beatiful.

I will keep trying...

I'm having that problem too....if I find stuff that fits across the butt/hips/thigh area then it's wayyyyy too big in the waist/crotch. It's one of those stages of in-between sizes I guess.

I like to wear the bikinis around the house, in the pool, working in the yard. Sometimes if I'm with my closest friends, I'll wear them out on the boat when we go out with them. Any other type of public setting, I have one piece suits I wear....but my problem areas show just the same in a bikini or a one piece.

Yip, I hear ya. I get a BIG gap around the waist when I sit, you can see tright down the back. But, need to fit the thighs...SIGH!!

Yeh I hear ya, I can not even wear a one piece too high cut inthe leg. I wear boy short takinis or board shorts with a tankini top.. maximum coverage!! I have a few skirted, but they really arent comfy swimming and tubing ect.. they float..

Well, If I can lose 40 more punds maybe this wont be such a dilemma....

bjs, you ARE very beautiful! Soon, you will feel the way you look too.

You can do it! You ARE doing it! Already lost 22 lbs, and it will keep coming off.

I hear ya about the skirted suits...they only accent the fat on my thighs, because the skirts stop right at the fattest part. My best friend has one, but she has skinny legs and it looks so doggone cute on her...but horrible on me.

Thanks Guys,

Yeh I guess it will come. It is jsut hard I have been underweight my whole life, and this is so hard to look at me like this...

Oh well... Will keep plugging... Just seems to be slowing down, and I still ahve so much more to lose... Well, I wanted to lose 30 pounds by surgery date, July 5th; for anesthesia purposes. Looks like that may be attainable yet. Even more would be better..

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Good Morning Everyone,

I'm inspired by the photos from Joy and bjs((((((((((Hugs))))))))))
thank you so much for sharing them with us! It's great to see the progress that you two have made across the board and in the last month! It's so inspirational

We still have 6 more days to go for the Fathers Day challenge... so, lets not give up! I think we can still accomplish our goals. Just when you least expect it a big whoosh can come!

I didn't weight today because it's that TOM and I never do that to myself so next week will be a big surprise to me. My tummy feels a little bloated, but that'll go away by picture time (I hope... fingers crossed).

Silly... hope you didn't have Jury duty today! If so, maybe it'll be with someone like Stephen King sitting next to you... and it'll be a huge murder mystery (right!) !

I'm drinking lots of water as I write to flush this extra water weight right now... and I think I'll try to add a pic of Cookie girl... my baby... let's see if this will work...

The big chicken weighed herself with TOM here and weighed 171 today. Up .06 of a pound. Not too bad considering. I'm not panicking yet!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Cher, Cookie is so cute!!!

I had been down for two days this past week at 208...and today I'm over 211!!!!! Dang it. It's not quite time for TOM....so I'm not sure what's up. Maybe I ate something with a lot of salt....I would probably have to agree that I didn't get enough water in....but, still. It sucks to see that scale go up. Grrrr!

I'm going to eat induction-style this week and really focus on my water for the challenge though. Let's hope that it goes back down. If not, I'll just keep looking at the bikini shots to keep me going LOL

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

Valid...you too, rung one please, not induction! You don't need to be that drastic. And for what it's worth, I'm on the Rung 1 wagon also! Of course my MOTHER had a fresh loaf of Rye Bread sitting on her counter this morning. I'm certain she buys it to torture me. I can't EVER have it in my house because Rye is my biggest downfall! But today.....I didn't take a second look at it...oh allright, I didn't take a third look at it!

Re: Lose 10 Pounds By Fathers Day May 15th - June 18

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-Cookie is sooooooooooo cute!!! LOL..

Yeh-- I wimped out on the induction. I didn't go that far. All to blow off a few pounds to meet challenge. I wnat it to come off the right way, and stay off, I surely dont want to eat induction the rest of my loss, so I will just take the slow and steady progress.

I have to much to lose still.
