Thank you ladies! I saw my primary care doctor today and got the preliminary results (which I already knew). My visit to the GYN is Thursday @ 9am. I got the note for MRC to put my plan on hold so that will take me back to 1/20 as my last WI date.

I'm going to *try* my best to eat sensibly, but like many of you have commented, I'm also an emotional eater and pretty much want to eat everything in sight. I think part of it is b/c I'm hiding this from my parents and children and my hubby is very clingy and worried for me! LOL..it's great to be loved, but hard to be smothered when you're worried enough yourself.

You all are great.. Thank you SO much for your kinds words and encouragement.

I'm a newbie but wanted to share that I got to sign the 20 lb. lost board today! Just 10 to go. Rocki - you and your family will be in my prayers. I do enjoy reading all of the posts.

Morning all!! Feeling a bit tired this morning but overall...great. Excited for our trip to see Dave Ramsey this weekend and decided I'm NOT going to indulge in pizza or anything else. Find a good place with chicken or steak or salmon. I'm feeling pretty empowered, especially with the end in sight. For those of you just starting, I know it seems like a huge mountain to climb...for me I never thought I'd lose...and with sticking to it, it felt good so I stuck with it more. The biggest thing was being honest with myself (writing down EVERYTHING I ate, even if it was one bite of cheesecake, which only happened once...but it was a big point for me to be honest about everything). And now I'm nearly there. going tonight to try on clothes at a friend's house. She's willing to lend me some clothes for a few months so I don't have to buy any until I feel that where I am is where I'll stay (she's pregnant and doesn't need them). Perfect.
