Monday weigh in for BLC (week 2)

Hey all~ I hope you guys did better than me this week!!! Last week I was 179 Today 182 I want to blame it on my "monthly friend" but that's no excuse...I ate anything and everything for 7 days strait!! Well at least I got my reality slap for the day...time to get serious!!! *hugs* Dawn

Ok, Im coming out of "lurker" mode to join in on this little venture. Recently, due to some health issues, my surgeon told me to gain up to 195. Well, Im completely miserable being close to that weight. Nothing fits, I feel bloated, I think I look huge! My goal for this 8 week journey is to get back to 175. And to do it a healthy way (hopefully). Last week: 193.8 Today: 190.2 *I have missed you guys and Im going to try to get on OH more often. But honestly, Im never online much anymore. I did update my profile the other day thou. Good luck to all involved............ Kristi

Kristi!!! Welcome back to the board!! Please, please don't be a stranger! Miss you lots... Hugs, Jersey Mom

Thanks hon. I'll do my best to get online as often as I can. Glad you and the little one are back home. You are both in my thoughts! Kristi

Welcome back Kristi! Stop in once in awhile! Just had a question for ya...if your doc wants you to GAIN weight, but you'd like to be 20 lbs. below where he wants you...is that safe for you? 20 lbs. is a big difference, especially if he's asking you to gain. Just check in with him before you become a loser girl! Good luck! April

Good Morning Dawn & Everyone, I'm at 128 today, need to eat a little more so I don't lose anymore. Have a good day, Carly

how tall are you Carly? I know if I was at 128 (being 5'11") I would be deathly thin. Even at my current weight of 182 I fit comfortably into a 6 or 8 depending on the designer. *hugs* Dawn

Hey You are proof postive that having muscle is so much better than...well, NOT having it! You and I are the same height. I weigh about 12 lbs LESS than you and I am a firm size 10. Even at my lowest, 163, I was not even close to a size 6!! BUMMER. MUST start exercising (on top of eating right, yada yada). Good for you for exercising!! Hugs, JM

Wow...that's hard to believe!!! When I was at my lowest of 162 I was wearing size 4. I didn't look good though...people said I looked gaunt.

Hey! Yeah...I guess it is because you were 162 lbs of muscle and I was (and am) all flab! I am still kicking myself for not beginning an exercise program right after I had my surgery. I know it is better late than never but I would have been so much better off had I started sooner! Congrats to you for doing it the right way! Me
