Good going.

Body taking a break this week and balancing out. I'm down with that.
Taking a break happens. I stair stepped my way down once I got past 3 months out.

I feel heavy. Rediculous but it's how I feel. I like how I look in clothing but is a tad tight. I'm trying not to freak out but in the back of my mind I think is this going to fail too? Am I going to be one who gains all of the weight back? I hold my breath and say a little prayer every time I get on the scale. I really think this is good weight for me but how do I stay here?
Sorry you are down Scott you sound in good spirits. Are you relocating?
Liz I have a bit of candy left over too. I'll bring it to work my co workers will finish it off in no time.
Happy Noche de Los Muertos my friends
Whitney
I totally get those fears, Whitney...watching the scale go back up from my lowest point has been weird to say the least. It could be water weight which makes me feel swollen and tight.
Just try to trust your surgery. It's hard when we have failed all the other ways to lose weight.
Noche de Los Muertos: had to look it up. Interesting that one year ago today was my daddy's memorial service so we were remembering him.
Thanks Whit and you are going to be fine. Put those fears away and trust in your DS.
I am 90% sure we will end up relocating, but I have not come to that point yet. There is a Director of Manufacturing job in Chicago if I want it, but not sure I do and another job in the South East is just starting to percolate. I would really like that opportunity based on what I know so far. Hopefully by the end of November I will have it settled out and I will start a new gig after the first of the year. I got a fairly good chunk of severance for a short period of time I was there (4 months) and our rainy day fund was pretty decent even though we spent a **** pot full of money on medical travel this year. I definitely need a break and some getting healthier time (on top of my gut issues I have possibly both rotator cuffs torn and it hurts like a sum beetch at times) so I am looking forward to a few months off. Definitely want to find a good opportunity soon so Dianna and I can take a much earned vacation...even if it is just a few days (she wants to save money, I don't care...we/she deserves a cruise or some other very nice beach vacation).
and regarding left over candy I have had a hershey bar, two baby ruth and one butter finger so far this morning....they are the minis not the full size. We will need to get rid of it soon or I will be eating quite a bit of it.
South East...interesting. Maybe closer to where I am and we could actually visit sometimes.
No candy here - we don't do candy because my son is very likely to develop diabetes (it runs heavily in his dad's family) and I have a nasty case of reactive hypoglycemia so we nixed candy long ago. We also don't have any kids in the area we live so I don't feel bad about denying the kiddies their treats.

I avoided the 3 week stall. Narrowly.
I can actually see a difference in me too. It's not much, but it IS something.
I've now lost 40lbs from my highest weight and 20 from my surgery weight
Good for you...you are also doing measurements as well (monthly), right???
For a few years before we moved to this area. I also didn't need to buy candy but when you have 4 gazillion (dh math, lol) show up between 5 and 8, you need candy in the house.
Last week: 152.8
This week: 155.2
Gain of 2.4 pounds
I have a lot of candy leftover even though, we had 487 trick-or-treaters last night. I will get rid of it this week. I need to stop this suspected "bounce back". I don't want to bounce out of my clothes.
Yeah, bounce back is one thing, bouncing right out of your clothes is another. Sounds like your area is also T or T heaven for kids,
Hope you find a way to get rid of it.

Friday was 1 month from coming home from surgery. I came home at 324lb, so my 1-month weight loss was 34lb (20lb of that was easy hospital water weight).
My average protein this week is 83g (not doing any protein supplements), so of that I am proud!
Very good...and getting that much protein in already is AWESOME.
I don't know what I was last week but today I am 133.
@southernlady congratulations on going the direction you want to be going. I was thinking about light weights after reading someones post. I know you were a light weight do you know what your CC length and your other measurements?
@DSRIGGS hopefully it won't be much longer before you will get to the weight that's best for you.
@Whit you are so not fat!. When you think that you need to go look at the "picture of whit in the box". I do understand how the mind plays tricks on us.
@BebeZed congratulations on your loss.
Not long ago, you were in the 150's so doing great on that front. How are you otherwise?
I know but without digging, I don't remember most of the measurements off the top of my head. The only one I know for sure is my common channel of 175.

@Whit I am so sharing your fears....but trying hard to remain calm and let my DS do its work.
Have a great week all!
Holding steady and in the face of Halloween...good work.
