Oh lord I seem to be eating for EVERY reason right now LOL. But I HAVE to knuckle down to this pre op diet, it sucks, but it's for safety. I have had trouble sleeping.. I think it is because it is 9 days to surgery and I am getting more and more nervous about life ahead.
-
It sounds like you are having a good time.. and you deserve it! I LOVE Indian food.. I believe it is the UKs favorite!
-
You did fantastic!! What a boost to you! Also congrats on re-evaluating how much you want to lose. I would LOVE to be a UK 12, that was always my goal, closest I got was a 16.

Congratulations Cari if I haven't said it already. As you know my lap band surgery is Oct 20th. I have a beautiful faux fur jacket I bought in a closing down sale, once in a lifetime opportunity. I can't wait till I can finally wear that either!
-
I would say is there a difference you can feel rather than see? For example right now I get out of breath putting shoes and socks on.. I reckon 80lbs down I will notice that is not anywhere near as hard. Is there something like that you can look to and think.. wow.. I feel a lot better?
-
YAYYYYYY Pat!!
-
I too feel determination is probably the most important tool of all. Determination is what will carry us through for the long term.

WOW Pat I just LOVE the inspiration of your riding, your maps, your photos, it's incredibly motivating to the group. I think the biggest thing I take from it personally is that you are not stuck in the house, bogged down by weight, never doing to seeing anything. You are out there LIVING as we all should be, every single…

Pat! I love your list of losses. Nothing here yet but I am going to have SO much fun with that one!
-
Wow looks like a lot of us are in a pre winter de-clutter mood! That is on my list for fall.. to cut through all the clutter in my house and donate what I don't want. I am SO looking forward to ditching the big clothes.. GO PAT! Cari, I don't know what big decisions you have to make, but I wish you all the wisdom you need…

I am THRILLED for you Cari. Your attitude is great and it's onward and upward from here!

So many in need. Thank you to all for the wonderful thoughts.. I really appreciate it. Welcome to blueberi our newbie, I am so sorry about your heart attack but here you are, and you are right, you have to make a change, in whatever direction that is.. but we are here. Cari? How did it go? I am thrilled for you. Knit..…

Today I have had a couple of flash flooding episodes and not great eating but I do have to say my left foot I can actually see veins now instead of swelling so that is something! What keeps me going I think is my kids and grandkids even as far away as they are.. my puppies and cats.. they are my little world here and I am…

What a fabulously talented group too! I WANT WANT one of those bunnies in purple.
-
There are so many times here when I just wish I had a like button. You guys ROCK.
-
Pat!!! I have been wondering where you got to. And this made me think of you. You are so young.. stay the course.. keep going.. you got this. Those who are much younger have got the chance to take hold of this right now before it catches up with them the way it has me.
-
Thank you smagan and wennin and everybody who is supporting actually.. it means a lot. wennim that is what I started this group for. I wanted somewhere that people with serious weight issues could come and discuss the why's, the wherefores and what is working or not working for them. We really are in a unique category of…

I have to second on the weight loss front caro, the bigger you are the less people notice and also they don't want to defend or sometimes get into the discussion. Now when it comes to the sisters and their mad weight loss schemes I am reminded here of something my husband often says.. the best revenge is living well. So.…
-
My advice would be to concentrate on the way you are eating and the exercise you are doing being the way you now live and the scale to be secondary. If you rely on the scale as a measure of how well you are living then it will disappoint you. All you can do is eat right and move more and eventually that scale will move on…

Hey Cari! Please don't apologize, we all have things in life that prevent us being here, I go MIA too, we are a group of many who post, then don't or have never posted at all. I just figure people will join in when they feel like it. I know some people don't post when they are not doing well. You are doing what is right…
-
WOOHOOO congratulations on the new little one!
-
I have no problem with you putting in the sponsorship bit. Yeah I thought 2 hours was excessive too and sent an email this morning about it, we shall see. Most seem to be on 30 minutes, I wouldn't even mind an hour. And no I will not go down to 1,000 at the moment, that is what the pre-op is. I can opt to do it for 1 week…
-
You look absolutely gorgeous bondage. LOL Cynthia you lose weight EVERYWHERE, even your feet go down sizes.
-
I talked to a Doctor about this in my 20's.. I already was going to need a tummy tuck then having had a 12lb baby. It depends on how much elasticity your skin has in it, if you have stretch marks your skin is probably damaged beyond at that point. The younger you are the more elasticity you are likely to have as you lose…
-
What an amazing victory.. and wonderful photos Pat. You are just rocking it right now and an inspiration.
-
Wow.. the start of September. I see signs in the stores already of fall coming. I have noticed one or two trees showing signs of turning. This is a crazy time of year to me in the USA. It seems to me that summer officially stops this weekend, Halloween stuff starts appearing before my official summer ends LOL. Halloween…

HAHAHAHAHA at the edited.. and no.. I don't think anyone would object.

Awesome post.. love it. Patricia, happy to meet you and thrilled to see you having such self awareness and tackling this while you are still so young.. keep it up!
