I'm 198!!!  Yepee!  It feels good to finally break down to the one hundreds after a 3 week stall.  I'm definitely going to get back to walking more and riding my bike to help it keep going.  I only have 43-48lbs left to go till I get to 150 or 155. 

I'm finally down to 200lbs!  I'm hoping to be in Onederland by the end of the month!  The funny thing is I can get on a size 14.  When I only weighed 180lbs 10 years ago I was a size 16.  The pants that I have on are from Walmart and maybe they make their clothers bigger.  It doesn't matter, it still feels like major progress to me to button and zip up a pair of pants that have the size 14 on the tag!

The good news is that my scale has continued on it's downward movement.  I'm at 203 today!  Only 4 more pounds till I'm out of the 2's.  I'm hoping that's by the end of the month.  I also had to buy new clothes last  Friday and I'm in 16's.  All of my 18's, 20's and 3xs are in a pile on the middle of my bedroom floor and that feels great!  I'm almost halfway to my goal and only 15 lbs till I'm overweight, not obese.  The bad news is that I'm still on the mushies for a stomach irritation, and I'm feeling like crap.  Headache, fatigue and all that.  Plus we went on a very long road trip taking my oldest to school in Kansas yesturday and the only places along the Kansas turnpike are McDonalds.  Couldn't really eat anything therre, so I tried a yogurt parfait and my stomach is really upset with me for it.  I guess that wasn't a very smart choice.  But, I think the good news outweighs the bad feelings and I'm just going to try to feel good about that while I wait for my pouch to be ready for food again!

Finally lost those pounds I added.  Not any extra, but at least I'm going to the negative side again! 

I don't know what to think.  I thought this was considered the "honeymoon" period where you loose weight easily.  But my scale is keeping the pound I put on Monday and it has added 2 more to it.  I am officially 3 lbs heavier than I was last weekend.  How is that possible?  I've walked at least 11 miles this week, and have been trying to get in as much protein as possible.  I'm waiting for it to get easier so I can feel better about this whole process.  I'm hoping the scale will start to go down soon.  I really want to lose some dress sizes!

I'm totally frustrated today.  I'm 5 weeks out and had my first gain this morning!  I'm prepared mentally for stalls.  I had one early on after my surgery already.  But I didn't know how badly it would feel to get on that scale and be a pound heavier than I was yesturday.  If I'm to be honest, I have eaten a couple of things I shouldn't have.  Like part of a hot dog bun.  And I snacked on deviled eggs last night.  But when you are eating so little, you wouldn't think those couple of bites could add a pound.  I guess I will try extra hard today to eat well, get in my fluids, and walk a little bit longer this evening.  I hope it helps!
