I had a complication filled laproscopic complete hysterectomy March 30 - ended up with 3 tiny incisions plus belly button. I was completely down for 2 1/2 weeks and then lightly mobile for 2 1/2 weeks before I was cleared for work - took 2 more weeks before I was fully cleared 100%. Yeah - my job is super sedentary. I've…

EEK!!! Was your gall bladder surgery done laproscopicaly? I am scheduled to have mine removed on teh 7th of July and I'm hoping for this surgery I am only down a couple of days - unlike the 5 weeks I suffered through earlier this year for another surgery - which a complication from that one led to the discovery of my gall…

I forget to log usually because I just plain skip a meal :( I've eliminated 99.9% of all soda from my life.......no chips (except occasional snack bag size)....increased fruits/veggies....... getting to the gym is still a challenge between work and home life - but I get there every chance I can. Due to physical issues -…

Sadly no new numbers to report since my last post as the scale has become frozen where it's at! No matter what I do - the numbers are not moving - either direction :(

Thanks! I just deal with mental issues about body image - and it's almost like the scale is taunting me.......but I'm not gonna give up. I know I'll break this block eventually

Hi! 5'6" here - currently sitting at 204.4 and can't get that scale to move for the life of me :( Feel free to add me

ugh frustrated!! Scale hasn't moved.......I've watched my calorie intake for 2 weeks.........I'm down to a size 12 in pants.......but getting discouraged. I'm soooo close to finally breaking over to the "1" as a starting digit - but it feels like I'm never going to get there

That's me.....every night - open fridge to see what's still in there........helps reduce the amount of food we waste and I get a healthy quick lunch. :)

Hi all! Haven't posted lately - life has been hectic to say the least........

had a popsicle around 9 last night - not happy about it........but I figure it was better than the days where I would eat an entire bag of chips............

I've been trying - but working a desk job 5 days a week and taking work home to do on the weekends doesn't leave much moving time :( but I'm doing what I can!! In fact - today is a gym day - YAY!!

I've had my blaze a little over 2 months - LOVE it.........trying to stay motivated - but it's hard.....not much support from home :( feel free to add me - jenlaw71@live.com

fruits/veggies need to start adding some cheese to my snacks

just rearranged our bedroom and did my closet this weekend!! Still need to do the top shelf - but need to get the step stool so I can reach it :smiley:

LOVE my Fitbit!!!!!! Splurged and got the blaze when it came out. Confession - I have cried when I accidentally left it at home. Feel free to find me/add me here and on fitbit - jenlaw71@live.com

honestly for today? making it through the day without breaking down and buying a big bag of chips! This is a very stressful week at work for me and in the past I've always just snacked non stop on chips and other unhealthy junk and lived on soda. I had a banana and OJ for breakfast, packed leftovers from dinner last night…

Well, I finally got an appointment with my surgeon - surgery is set for July 7. Assuming they can get the scope in and then up through the belly button (baring hysterectomy complications) it will be an outpatient surgery. It's set for a Thursday so hopefully back to work on Monday - Tuesday at the latest.

went to the gym last night and was able to weigh......down to 204.4 and I'm down to a size 12 in pants :) 10 facts: 1. I am not THAT Jennifer Lawrence - but would love to meet her. 2. I've lived in Texas, Florida, and Georgia - and will never move from Savannah, GA 3. I have the most awesome/understanding/loving boyfriend…

as of 6/8/16 - 204.4 and down in pants to a size 12!!!!

count me in! My first goal is to drop a dress size (14 down to 12 by the end of July)....so now is the time to get serious about it!! And at some point this year I will be undergoing my 2nd surgery of the year - only down 1-2 weeks this time instead of the 7 last time! SW 212 CW 206 FGW 140 44 yr old, 5'6"

"complications" - yeah - that was the name of the game with my "simple, routine" hysterectomy.............due to stage 4 endometriosis, I was under anesthesia for 5 hours.........my surgeon nicked my bladder so they had to call in a urologist - ended up with a catheter for 2 weeks. Was in hospital overnight (went home…
