rofl of course you will be cursing the scale! haha, but im really pleased that the appt went well and hopefuly the med adjustment kicks in.

Have a great time with the girls

janetsbreeze · 09-24-2011, 09:06 AM

Have a great weekend Kitty!

kittycitygirl · 09-24-2011, 09:33 AM

Got tickets for Bob Seger!!!! Yay!!!

Lower weight today. Thinking it is bc of the rum and dpepsi I had! LOL Maybe start drinking more often? LOL JK

Going off plan today. Promised my BFF that I'd do Chinese with her before she goes in for WLS. I know I could do LC Chinese, but ....seriously....not interested in it....Going all out Chinese LOL Then, will come back with a vengence! LOL

You exercising friends are inspiring me (Amber and Seth especially!). I may pick up the weights again and hop on the elip. May....

LOL Interested in seeing how my body will change with some muscle. Maybe I can rock the 50s

janetsbreeze · 09-24-2011, 11:18 AM

Yum - enjoy the Chinese!
And of course you can rock the 50s - you are rocking now!

ceecee08 · 09-25-2011, 04:34 AM

CHINESE!!!!!

yea exercise can't hurt. I know the last time I lost weight the more weight I loss the more energy I had and the more energy I had to work put. Is that weird?? Maybe my metabolism improved??? Idk.

slh72454 · 09-25-2011, 11:19 AM

Wait! There is a such thing as LC Chinese? I have avoided that stuff like the plauge for the past year since I didn't think there was anything there that was even remotely LC friendly, lol.

piratewoman · 09-26-2011, 11:16 AM

Kitty girl, I hope your having a great day.

tiggy_oz · 09-26-2011, 03:26 PM

There are a few things that are LC friendly seth - but not a whole ton and even stuff we think might be ok tends to have starch in the sauces.
How was the weekend kitty?

kittycitygirl · 09-26-2011, 07:36 PM

What she said. Yep, you can get some, esp. if you ask them to prepare them specific to our WOE, but I decided to go all out. Yes, I have a thing for the Gen.

The damage hit today. I have a day or so delay it seems. Up to 156 this morning.

I know it is water weight, but still....blahhhhhhhhh!!!

Amber, you got me looking at the thigh highs now, but like you...they aren't that high. Boo for none made for long legs!

Friend goes in for WLS tomorrow. Praying all goes well.

kittycitygirl · 09-27-2011, 04:07 AM

Been good and back in ketosis...but

up to 156.4

piratewoman · 09-27-2011, 04:49 AM

Kitty girl, it will come right back off. Don't worry about it to much.

Have a good LC day.

Bejewelme · 09-27-2011, 05:48 AM

Kitty- yeah baby rock those boots!!

Exercise may not make the scale move so much but it is going to change you and you are going to look so slim and more muscle= more caloric burn at rest all good!!!!!

Geez I was in my teens the last time I was 200 and I looked fatter than I do now even with the c-section and skin, I was puffy fat before exercise, one thing though the veins are so bad on me, my leg veins are bulging like crazy even my trainer noticed last night I am not sure if it from the running that they are staying more filled but you can even see them through my shorts, very gross!!!!

ceecee08 · 09-27-2011, 08:19 AM

Have a good day Kitty!!!

janetsbreeze · 09-27-2011, 02:01 PM

Kitty, have a good day!

tiggy_oz · 09-27-2011, 05:11 PM

kitty the scale does that to me as well. Goes up even after I am back on track for an extra day just to rub my nose in it. Well wishes for your friend.

Have a good one!

kittycitygirl · 09-27-2011, 07:14 PM

Thanks everyone! My friend is out of surgery and in her own room. All went well

I know Tig! It really likes to mess with us! punishment for going off plan I guess!

I need to do something...exercise is what I need...just got to get doing it! LOL

Another day of eating well, so we shall see what the scale will give me! LOL

The Stang is running again

Just have to put the valve covers back on and out for a test drive if it ever quits raining! Ughhh!!!! Vrooooom!!! Makes me smile hearing her purrrrrr again!

Bejewelme · 09-28-2011, 06:11 AM

GLad the surgery went well is it one of the girls I met with you?
Glad the stang is running again!!!!
That scale will move

piratewoman · 09-28-2011, 06:17 AM

Good morning Kitty.

I guess I didn't know about your friend, glad the surgery went well.

Have a good day.

ceecee08 · 09-28-2011, 07:01 AM

Hope the scale was good to you this AM!!!

Glad the stang and your friend are out of surgery!!! Great News!!

janetsbreeze · 09-28-2011, 08:44 AM

Glad your friend is recovering well!

Have a good day

tiggy_oz · 09-28-2011, 04:06 PM

Ohhh ROAD TRIP!!!!! Glad the stang is back on her feet. Praying your friend is soon as well

kittycitygirl · 09-28-2011, 04:14 PM

Thanks girls! My friend is up and walking today. Hurting of course, but up. She most likely will go home tomorrow

Amber: yes

Down just a tad from yesterday...expected more

Getting used to this though. Not happy, but it is becoming normal....up, up, up, down, up, up, .....

Could be worse, I never dreamed I'd be sitting here now in the 50s. So, I will be thankful for that.

Maybe we will be able to get the Stang in a show before she goes to bed for the winter! A Halloween show near here next month. They give prizes for costumes too. Thought maybe a 60s theme since she is a 66. Ideas?

slh72454 · 09-29-2011, 02:01 AM

Good morning Kitty!

I'm glad your friend is doing well and will get to go home soon. You will have to update us on her progress. Is she planning to exercise to help with the rapid weight loss?

Glad you've lost some as well, even if it is just a tad. I know what you mean, whenever I see that I've only lost like a pound or half a pound and get discouraged, I think that I never saw myself being in the 70's so I shouldn't complain too much.

Frenchie'sGirl · 09-29-2011, 02:54 AM

Heya Kitty, glad to see you are doiing well. ONe thing about alcohol is it will help you lose your water weight a bit so yes...alcohol does help with that

Your meds might take a few weeks to really kick in and start helping your weight loss. I noticed each time my doc upped my dose I noticed the difference about two weeks later. I am about three weeks into my new dosage and I am noticing lots of things. My skin isn't as dry, I am more energetic and YES the scale is moving in the downward direction again finally!
You definitely need to get that stang out and show her off...maybe you should be a go-go girl?

piratewoman · 09-29-2011, 05:11 AM

Good morning Kitty girl, I'm glad to hear your friend might be going home today, that's really good news.

Have a great day.

janetsbreeze · 09-29-2011, 05:19 AM

I definitely think you should be a go go girl!

kittycitygirl · 10-01-2011, 12:23 PM

My friend went home and is doing well. Very thankful to the big guy up above for that

Thanks for the thoughts/prayers for her. She started an exercising program before going in for the surgery Seth. I think it was part of the preop requirements her doc gave her. She seemed to like it, so I'm thinking she will continue.

DH put the valve covers back on yesterday. Is going to fire her up here again after a quick nap (I think his thyroid needs adjusted!). Wants to be sure no oil is leaking. If the sun comes out and it dries up some, may take her for a test run to see if she heats up any. Crossing the fingers for both! If all is ok, will have to run her as often as I can before tucking her in.

Hmmmm....a gogo girl...that is a thought.....

Scale was at 152.6 this morning. Had a terrible headache upon waking, so think I might have been dehydrated. I won't get too excited about it unless it sticks! No drinking involved, so if dehydrated, not sure why.

kittycitygirl · 10-01-2011, 12:58 PM

I like this!!! People are always saying I'm still an inner hippie...LOL

Peace Out Hippie Girl Adult Costume - Mr. Costumes

I like the colors of this. Reminds me of the colors I liked back then. But...late Oct....outside....brrrrrr....LOL
Womens Go Go Orange Sexy 70s Costume Go Go Costumes - Mr. Costumes

I could go as Cher! She had a Stang!

Womens Hippie Singing Babe Adult 60s Costume Sonny and Cher Costumes - Mr. Costumes

Or............. I could go as my boot wearing role model from those days!

kittycitygirl · 10-01-2011, 01:11 PM

OMG...got to decide!!! Should I order this for what ever I wear? It is so retro awesome! It takes a while to get it here, so have to order fast. I think it would be better than the cheap wigs that look fake....can use again and again....what to do??????????????????????

http://www.tidebuy.com/product/Women...g-1727804.html

tiggy_oz · 10-01-2011, 03:12 PM

I vote the blonde wig with the orange gogo outfit. Gotta get the boots though.

I like the hippie otufit and can totally see that on you BUT, does that really go with a stang? Perhaps if you had a combie van or something hehe.

Really happy to hear your baby is all fixed up and you have another month or so before she goes to bed. Enjoy it!
