Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you all had wonderful weeks and gearing up for another awesome week! Here are my numbers and I will see you all around! Highest weight 327 Day of surgery 318 Last Week 275 This Week 273 I will take losing 2 pounds over gaining 2 any day!! See you all later.

Good morning all! Highest weight 271 Day of surgery 266 Last Week 226 This Week 224 I'm with Stephanie, 2 lbs is great. I'm trying to keep the perspective that if I'm losing ANYTHING consistantly over a months time, I'm doing better than I ever have. I still struggle that I lose slowly....my doctor's goal for my 3 month surgiversary tomorrow is to be down 58 lbs. Not going to happen. That's discouraging. But I know that I'm doing everything "right" and I know my body! I have never lost at a quick pace. My thyroid issues, and now menopausal issues definitely affect my metabolism. So I'll take a pound or two loss each week with joy! Can you hear me counseling myself??? Margaret

Hi Margaret - I think you doing great - any loss is a success. Just think if you lose 2 pounds a week for 1 year - your still going to lose 100 pounds. Keep up the good work Marta

And you are counseling me too!! lol My surgeon says that I should be down 60 pounds at my 3 month mark too...but at 2 lbs a week, i will not be there by next Wednesday. But hey...I figure if it comes off slower and I continue to work out, I will not have so much loose skin..so there is a sliver lining. My nutritonist stated that based on what I tell her, I am doing all the right things..but I may not be eating enough...go figure (never thougt I would hear that). So this week I trying to incorporate different things in my daily eating that I had not been having before. I had cereal and 2% milk for the first time yesterday..I was craving cheerios!! And it went ok. So I will see if I can squeeze a few more calories in this week and see if it makes a difference. I have been getting about 80 grams of protein a day, 80 oz of water, and less than 1000 calories on top of working out for at least 45 minutes, 4 days a week...so I am not sure what I can do to speed mine up....but 2 is still better than none!!

Hi - it looks like I joined the 2 pound club this week. I also agree - I'll take losing 2 instead of gaining 2 anyday. Highest weight- 311 Day of Surgery - 295 Last week - 245 This week - 243 ....with this last 2 pounds I hit 70 pounds lost !!!!! Hope everyone has another great week ! Marta

Hi again - I must still be sleeping...... - here are the right numbers - Highest weight- 311 Day of Surgery - 295 Last week - 243 This week - 241 Now - that adds up correctly to 70. ( I was never a fast one in math) Marta

Well, add me to the -2 pound list. EXCEPT I am not taking it as well. Granted, I am glad the scales are moving still, but this is my third week at -2 pounds. I think I need to really start working out again! I have my 3 month post-op next week and I definitely have not been hitting the -3.5 per week mark she said I should be! Highest Weight 327 lbs Day of Surgery 299.4 lbs Last Week 249.6 This week 247.8 Total: -52 since surgery Belle
