Thanks. Yes you have a great time in Florida! I'm jealous, walking on the beach is one of my favorite ways to exercise.

I weighed myself at the doctors office yesterday .... my son has the flu .... and it read 10 pounds heavier than my home scale. I think I'll stick with my home scale!

Oh, Vacanick, Doctor's scales are notoriously heavier by at the least, five pounds. I have to go to the doctor today to find out when they are going to schedule my surgery, and I know what I weigh, so I'll let you all know how much heavier it says, then you will feel better. PS: Weight Watchers online is making it so much easier for me to stay on program and lose weight. ETA: I suggest everyone EVERYONE keep a food diary. It helps so much. It's all about accountability.

Thanks Biloxi and Denecee. Biloxi, you made me chuckle. I love the ocean and walking on the beach too, Denecee! Keeping a food diary helped me tremendously. I should start again. It kept me accountable and helped me to see if I was getting enough of each vitamin and nutrient. Yay Escapee and Txkaykay! Lol Vacanick! When I noticed my doctor's scale weighed 10 more than my home scale, I bought a new digital scale that was very close to the doctor's.

My doctors scale said 158, and we all know that I only weigh 153 and I haven't gained any weight. Stupid Doctor's Scales.

We'll all know Saturday just how off the Doctor's scale is when I go weigh in, that is, if I am not in the hospital having surgery. (I just know they are going to schedule that surgery on my birthday next week)

LOL, Gall Bladder removal. I have "several" stones. You know, my birthday's pretty much suck a$$ every year. It's like they are cursed. DH has a good way of ruining them. So if they schedule it on my birthday, and I have to lay in a hospital bed all day being catered to after surgery, oh darn, that seems like a vacation to me. Especially now that one of my heathens is hitting the terrible 2's will full force, and I think my 4 year old is not quite out of them yet. I can't get anyone to lift a finger around the house, so I spend a couple hours every night showing signs OCD in my house trying to get it into shape, trying to get my kids bathed, into bed, while they are screaming, running, terrorizing the dog, my mom is calling me griping at me, my grandma is asking me to check things online for her, and DH doesn't set foot in the door from work until it has just settled down and I have collapsed into a chair. Mind you this is after working a full day at a huge corporation. Also, my kids have been under the weather and just can't stand themselves, so the temper tantrums have been extra loud, extra dramatic, and extra irritating. Anyone have a valium mommy can have? So Gall Bladder Surgery on my birthday might be the best present I have gotten in a while.

I also know that i am not up against anything that every other working mom is up against, with the exception of having to deal with my mother watching my kids for me. I know they need day care, but here in CA it is so expensive, I might as well not work. Oh, and the gall bladder thing. lol.

Escapee, you are such a strong woman. Thank you for sharing that little insight to your world and believe it or not, it sounds kind of nice with the lil ones running around wreaking havoc. I love it. I sure hope you recover fast if you do end up having that surgery because I know the lil ones sure won't help you, lol. If I lived near ya, I would come help you with them and your house while you are recovering.

Awh, that's sweet. You know, I get the frustration, but all in all, it's worth it. My kids are happy and healthy and I can deal with the every day havoc more than I think I can. Sometimes I just need some help. HOWEVER, on the plus side, cleaning takes my mind off of eating, so score there. I just need my mom out of my house and my kids in school and daycare so I can exhale, does that make any sense? LOL. She loves them, and she takes good care of them and they love her, but ARGH, the stress is almost too much with her destroying my house, letting muddy dogs in because she thinks they are "cold" (it's california) and her going through menopause. I swear if I have to clean up her sticky sugar/cream/coffee grounds mess on my counter that has been sitting there since the morning, one more time, might just lose it. I remind myself this "deep breaths, it ain't her fault she's crazy." LOL. DD2 starts kindergarten this year, we are on the downhill slide folks. (I know I am lucky to have the family support with my kids that I have)

I weigh in tomorrow, my scale at home is lingering on 149/150, but I think it weighs light. Keep your fingers crossed that I am under 150 by February 6th! My consultation for surgery is scheduled on the 12th, I hope I can lose while I am laying around watching my stories after surgery.

You go girl!! Maybe I should get me a gall bladder attack? LOL, no thanks. I'm not reporting my gain of almost 2 lbs over the weekend. I was sick enought to not exercise but not sick enough not to eat like crap! Slapping myself, again and again.

You can do it!! No snacks after dinner and stay away from the 1000 calorie coffees (unlike me) My goal is 140 by June 1st, wish me luck and will power. It really is the weekends that are holding me back. That's it, no more weekends for me! LOL, maybe if I had some sunshine on the weekends, I could get outside and get some yard work done. 4 months to lose approx. 15 lbs, that's about 4 lbs a month or 1 lb a week.

Okay popping in to say I hopped on the bathroom scale and I'm still doing okay... it's got me at 153 or 154. Course add about 5 lbs for the doctor's scale, and I'm still under 160 so that's good right? (I do have to get properly weighed soon. I don't trust bathroom scales.)
