Great news, Pam! I'm so proud of you!! I can't imagine you 20 lbs lighter, you are already so hot hot hot...but you know your body better than anybody...so if you think 20 lbs. can go by by...well, you GO girl!!

I have my six weeks appt. today (it's actually 7 and a half weeks at present.) Oddly enough, for the first time, I went up a lb. I am trying not to freak...certainly I haven't eaten anything I shouldn't...nor have I eaten too much. Possibly dehydration, who knows? Or maybe it's just that first thing in the a.m. (I weighed very early) I weigh more. Maybe I'm "normal" by now.

I am sooooo close to 200 lbs (more like UNDER 200 lbs)...but, my weight loss has slowed the last couple of days. I'm hovering at 202 (although this morning I was nearly 203...and no, I don't think my period is due.) It's a bit maddening. I wanted to be at 200 for the appt. today...but maybe by Monday I'll be there. We'll see.

I have finally managed to work out. I am such a jock, and always worked out like a crazy woman in the past...so it's been a big surprise to me that I'm just too tired to do much at all. Haven't even been walking much...getting the energy to go up and down the stairs has been almost overwhelming...and after a hard day at work (very hard) I'm dragging.

However, on Saturday I went to the gym and worked out with my trainer for an hour, and did the elliptical for an hour. On Monday, I did Pilates with my other trainer for an hour. Tuesday, I worked out with Jim at the gym on weights for an hour ( a little cardiovascular, too),, Wednesday it was Pilates again...on last night I went to the gym again and lifted for an hour. i started freaking out because my upper arms and my inner thighs are starting to be pretty loose...and I am Ms. Muscle U.S.A. But, I've been having a lot of trouble keeping down the protein. I've been yucking up a lot in the past three weeks. I seem to have a collicky pouch at the moment. Knock on wood, I didn't throw up yesterday, so that's good.

So yeah...maybe I've gained muscle...but after only five days working out, I doubt it. Particularly because I already had so much muscle, and it's not like I'm doing heavy weights. On the other hand, I'm a bit, er "full" at the moment...so maybe the weight gain has more to do with the need for some constipation relief...who knows. We'll see. I'm trying not to wig out, as I know the body has normal ebbs and flows.

The odd thing is that my weight has always jumped around ridiculously. One day to the next I can vacillate as much as 5 lbs. But since having the surgery, I have only stayed the same or, more often, gone down the scale...without the jumps. It's been wonderful. Really. So, I need to count my blessings.

Did anyone have this scenario? I've been feeling pretty good about myself, feeling like I look good...enjoying the fact that my clothes are too losse, and that I can fit into some of my old clothes...and then the last two days, I look in the mirror and feel really fat. I feel like my tummy is sticking out, and that I look puffy. I don't know if I really do look puffy...and maybe I am having another period already...if I'm retaining weight...or if I'm getting into the body dysmorphia phase...you know, getting impatient to lose weight, and thus, not really registering the progress I've already made. (In the seven weeks, not counting my one lb. gain today, I've lost 33.5 lbs...and including my pre-surgery loss, I'm down 59.5 lbs. I think I did a math error, because I've been saying that I've lost 61 lbs....but, that will only be the case when I finally get down to 200!)

Anyway...just wondering if any of you have experienced that: feeling great and sexy and "getting there"...and then having other days where you wonder if you'll EVER get there...or if you'll stay stuck at 202 for the rest of your life...

Ah, patience. Not my forte!

I have finally managed to work out. I am such a jock, and always worked out like a crazy woman in the past...so it's been a big surprise to me that I'm just too tired to do much at all. Haven't even been walking much...getting the energy to go up and down the stairs has been almost overwhelming...and after a hard day at work (very hard) I'm dragging.

However, on Saturday I went to the gym and worked out with my trainer for an hour, and did the elliptical for an hour. On Monday, I did Pilates with my other trainer for an hour. Tuesday, I worked out with Jim at the gym on weights for an hour ( a little cardiovascular, too),, Wednesday it was Pilates again...on last night I went to the gym again and lifted for an hour. i started freaking out because my upper arms and my inner thighs are starting to be pretty loose...and I am Ms. Muscle U.S.A. But, I've been having a lot of trouble keeping down the protein. I've been yucking up a lot in the past three weeks. I seem to have a collicky pouch at the moment. Knock on wood, I didn't throw up yesterday, so that's good.

So yeah...maybe I've gained muscle...but after only five days working out, I doubt it. Particularly because I already had so much muscle, and it's not like I'm doing heavy weights. On the other hand, I'm a bit, er "full" at the moment...so maybe the weight gain has more to do with the need for some constipation relief...who knows. We'll see. I'm trying not to wig out, as I know the body has normal ebbs and flows.

The odd thing is that my weight has always jumped around ridiculously. One day to the next I can vacillate as much as 5 lbs. But since having the surgery, I have only stayed the same or, more often, gone down the scale...without the jumps. It's been wonderful. Really. So, I need to count my blessings.

Did anyone have this scenario? I've been feeling pretty good about myself, feeling like I look good...enjoying the fact that my clothes are too losse, and that I can fit into some of my old clothes...and then the last two days, I look in the mirror and feel really fat. I feel like my tummy is sticking out, and that I look puffy. I don't know if I really do look puffy...and maybe I am having another period already...if I'm retaining weight...or if I'm getting into the body dysmorphia phase...you know, getting impatient to lose weight, and thus, not really registering the progress I've already made. (In the seven weeks, not counting my one lb. gain today, I've lost 33.5 lbs...and including my pre-surgery loss, I'm down 59.5 lbs. I think I did a math error, because I've been saying that I've lost 61 lbs....but, that will only be the case when I finally get down to 200!)

Anyway...just wondering if any of you have experienced that: feeling great and sexy and "getting there"...and then having other days where you wonder if you'll EVER get there...or if you'll stay stuck at 202 for the rest of your life...

Ah, patience. Not my forte!

other week and yes, they are loose now but I will try

worn shorts in 14 years....boy...being over weight has

really caused me to miss out on a lot of stuff that I

really had not given any thought to. Boy...

Hi Pam Marsh, and Everyone,

Wow,Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss!! I weighed 130 for

about 2 months when I was 16 years old. What a great feeling. You

give me such hope. I just got back from a 2 week vacation to

Washington State

to visit my daughter and son and their families. I loved spending

time with my 4 grandsons, ages 17 months,3,4, and 10 years. My 4

year old grandson has a form of autism and it was good to see how

much better he is doing.I miss them all so much. I really tried hard

to stay as close to my 1200 calorie diet as possible, and actually

lost weight on the trip. I only have 6 more pounds to lose until I

reach my 10%! Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to have my

surgery in August like I wanted. Because I am starting a new job in

the fall, I have a lot of meetings and seminars to go to in August.

I may not be able to have surgery until around Thanksgiving vacation

where I have 1 week off to put on with the other weeks off I need to

take off for the surgery.I guess it wouldn't hurt to continue losing

weight, but I am so anxious to have the surgery and it is

frustrating. Do you think I should still push for an August date?

Hello to the other Pams out there. too! Pam Ehlers

What great news Pam!!! Way to go! That must have felt so good jumping

on that scale!

You sure seemed to get to goal fast too! Shows your determination!

I am right there with you!

A loose size 10? I am still fantazing about that one!

One day at a time for me. Glad to see your time has flown by!

Do you have an " at goal " outfit in mind?
