I weighed in this morning and I am up just less than a pound. I am very happy with that but now I need to get going on my quilt. I am down a little over 13 pounds with a goal of 30. Let's do this people!

Mary that is great.

Can you hear my screaming?? I put 12 pounds on since January but it is all my fault for not paying close attention to the scale and what I eat.

You just gave me an idea on how to track my weight lost journey. Making a quilt block for each pound I lost and then putting all the blocks together at the end of my journey is a great idea. I had gastric bypass surgery on November 10, 2010 and so far I have lost 100lbs. My beginning weight was 317lbs.

Come on and be a "Loser" (Weight Lost loser that is)

Carrie, oral steroids do that to me and it takes forever to reach a point where that weight wants to come off. It isn't you. Don't give up. Your body will go back to its normal weigh losing self eventually.

When I told my PCP that I let my orthopedic dr fill my foot with cortisone, he was shocked that I didn't refuse like I do when he mentions pred. You pick your battles. You needed the pred for your breathing, but it done, so hang in there.

I haven't cut my fabric yet. First I didn't like the combo, got that adjusted from my stash, now I need to finish #3 daughter's birthday quilt. Soon it's be my turn. Such is life.

I stepped on the scale this morning and it showed that I lost 2 of those nasty pounds.

Good, Carrie, that means your body is ready to get rid of the 'new' pounds and get back on track. Now I need to stop checking in here and go sew my purple quilt. Not my color, but my daughter loves purple.

CONGRATULATIONS, you are doing it. Yes, let's do this people.
We are losers and proud of it.
