Monday Morning Weigh In

Good Morning all! Hope you had wonderful weeks last week and are gearing up for an even better one this week! Here are my stats: HW: 327 SW: 318 LW:248.8 CW: 245.4 Loss of 3.4 pounds!! Still staying out of the 2 lb club!

You are doing so AWESOME!!! How is the new exercise program coming? Well, last week, I decided to try to do everything right... and I did a pretty good job. I got in my protein every day, water except for one day, and exercised 4 times. When I weighed in on Wednesday I posted because I had reached 227... my 100 pound mark. Well, I had high hopes today since I had done EVERYTHING RIGHT this week... and I gained the two pounds back!!! This is the WORST week I have had since the surgery!!! Can you flippin believe that?!?! Highest Weight 327 lbs Day of Surgery 299.4 lbs Last Week 229.4 This week 229.4 Perhaps next week I should stry to do everything wrong? lol!

Hi Belle: I was able to work out 6 days last week..but on only two of them (instead of my goal of three) was I able to work out twice a day. My daughter just started her first job and it keeps me running the streets so I did not have time to do much of anything. I would say that you should keep doing what you are doing right and expect a big week next week! I have been doing really good with not weighing in dbut once a week now. It was hard at first but now...it does not phase me too much. Also we have to remember that the lower I weight gets..the smaller numbers we are going to pull...you know you are knocking on the door to onderland..so get ready to enter shortly!!

I had the same negative results for the week. It is no fun to put any weight back on or not to budget the scales down. Keep your chin up! Here is some fairy dust to get you off the fence! Lindy

I had a pretty good week! My angel told me that the protein I was taking wasn't pure protein. It was a mixture of protein; therefore, my absorption of it was probably minimal. She also told me that I needed to increase it even higher. I take a 1 and ¼ scoop of protein powder (either Body Fortress or Isopure) and add it to 3 - 4 oz of water. I stir it up real good and then I just gulp it down. It takes about 3 or 4 gulps, but I get it down. That combination is about 30 g of protein. I do those 3 times a day, making that 90 g of protein just on supplements alone. I get the rest in through food. For the past week, I averaged about 100 - 130 g of protein a day. I guess it worked because I ended up loosing 5 lbs this week. Have a great week everyone! Highest Weight: 377.7 Surgery Weight: 375-377 Last Week: 296.6 This Week: 291.6 Loss: 5.0 Total Loss: 86.1 lbs

What was the protein you were taking? I am specifically concerned about the Bullets... Congrats on your huge loss!!! Holly

Good morning all! Had a good week last week. Slow weight loss, but I was expecting that. HW: 271 SW: 266 LW: 212 CW: 210 Loss of 2 lbs. Scale was toying with 208 yesterday, but was up again today, so I'm not claiming it. Margaret

Margaret, Do you know that you and I are exactly on the same track. I started at 272 (I only had to fast 1 day before surgery) and now I'm 210. I think we are both doing really good. I'm so excited that my clothes are hanging...but... today I put on a suit that I just had the pants hemmed last week because they were big but still wearable. What was I thinking?? the jacket was huge and the pants got bigger, so I just wasted money on tailoring and now it's going in the "to give away" pile. Okay, I know that's a good thing.... Have a great day...week! Beth

Good Morning surgery mate, I had a great week last week. Last Saturday I went to my vet's office to get my kitty food and I had been thinking something was wrong with my scale so I asked the vet if I could use his. I had been "stuck" at a 91 pound lost for forever. I got on his scale and had lost 102 pounds!!! Today when I weighed I had lost another 2 pounds. Here are my states: HW: 366 LW: 262 CW: 260 I went shopping on Friday and bought size 22 jeans. I have not weighed 260 or wore a size 22 in probably 20 years. This surgery is one of the biggest blessings I have ever had. I hope everyone had a great week and look forward to this week. Sandy

That is awesome Sandy!!
