The scale at the surgeon's office is right in the hallway between the waiting room and the examining rooms. So, I think there might be trouble if I strip nekkid to weigh in there. I will tell you though there will be NO bra, NO panties, NO socks...JUST capris and a shirt. My mother will have a fit but if that bra weighs even an ounce that sucker will not be on MY body at THAT weigh in. We shall surely see.

Missy you have been in my prayers for days now and I will continue to do so until you are home from your surgery safe and sound. You are doing a great job!
Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow. We are getting a LOT of rain the last few days so I haven't got to get outside much to exercise. But we need the rain so bad I am not going to complain.

Anyway....I am glad to hear that you have been able to drop a bunch of pounds. That is a great thing to hear.

I have a goal weight in mind, but what I really am thinking of is a goal size. I want to able to wear my clothes that are a certain size.
lauriejo, that celiac is a tricky one. The world sticks gluten in so many places. Are you avoiding hydrolyzed yeast and 'flavorings'?
Sadly, I am back on oral steroids, plus an injection, so I am bummed big time. Usually I gain 15 pounds and keep it for a long time. I'm hoping this time will be different. The doctor thinks saving my ability to walk is more important than worrying about a few pounds. Of course, he's right. It's scary when the back is deteriorating rapidly. Enough whining. Hope everyone's having a good day.
The rheumatologist is history - next stop is a nuerologist - immediately. Such fun. I'd rather be spending the money on fabric.
May is pastels. Does that mean florals or solids? I like blenders and large florals, but I'm not going to win, for sure.

Sounds like you all had a good day again today. I love all the support I hear for each other. Missy you will do very well. You have a few more days so hang in there and don't get to up tight about the last few pounds. Just keep up the routine you've been doing. I do the same when I have to weigh myself. I try to wear the same thing and do it at the same time of day.
I am 5.3 and my goal is 135 but if I get to the right size I don't care about reaching a set pound amount. I have gone from a tight 16 to a tight 12 in some things so more needs to come off.
Today was not a very good eating day. My BIL took DH and I to McD's for breakfast and then we went to another place for lunch. All I wanted to do was eat at home and have my tuna and salad for lunch.
Then dinner was leftovers of roast and scalloped potatoes Not A Good Day. Tomorrow will be better. BIL went home this afternoon so I can get back to my routine. Don't think I will get on the scales for a couple of days. I don't want to see the scales up and wipe out what I have lost so far this month. Not enough to win FQ's but thats not the reason I joined this group. I already have my FQ for the winner and Missy . It's late so I'm off to bed. I'll try to get on tomorrow and check in with you all.
Hugs to all
Gail

Good Morning everyone! Well yesterday went pretty good. According to Myfitnesspal.com food diary I didn't eat enough so I guess I'm going to have to pay closer attention. I got in my goal exercise and it felt so good. I used to hate any form of exercise but since I've been swimming I love it.
I used to tell people that I didn't care what I weighed as long as I could fit into a certain size but now I find it does matter to me so I'll stick with my food plan and exercise goals and pray for weight loss.
Missy, your such an inspiration. I love your posts. My prayers will be with you all the way through. I wish you could talk to my friend - she is morbidly obese and has several major health problems. Yesterday during swimming she almost feinted and her husband took her to the hospital. They think her pacemaker is malfunctioning. They let her come home for the night with a heart moniter but she has to go back to the hospital pacemaker clinic this morning for more tests. The doctors have tried to talk her into weight loss surgery but she is refusing. I worry about her.
My goals for today:
Stay under 1200 calories
Lap swim for 30 minutes
Walk 1 mile
Have a good day everyone. I will check in later to let you know how I'm doing on my goals and see how everyone else is doing.
