Monday Morning Weigh In

WOW! Did we all lose 2lbs this week? Count me in. I'll take it tho cause it got me to the 100lb lost mark!! I was worried because Id lost down to 268, then gained back to 273!!! Then I lost to 269. Today I was at 267.6 But Im ignoring the .6!! surgery weight: 367 last week: 269 today: 267 I need to up my protein as well. And Ive ate pretty bad this week because my step-daughter was visiting and we did alot of quick and easy food. Im really sick of the up 2lbs down 2lbs thing tho! I gotta break this cycle!!! Mary

WOW Mary!! Congrats on joining the century club!!! That is so exciting!!

Thanks Stephanie, Im excited! I just hope I dont gain any back this week!! Im stayin off the scales till next monday!!!! Mary

Well, I am late! Off yesterday. HW: 280+ PRE-OP 267.9 LW: 192 CW: 189 YEAHH! Made it under 190.

Hey everyone...I'm a day late and a dollar short on getting my Monday stats in...but, I have a great excuse...My hubby got home Sunday!!!! YEAH!!!! I ended up driving to Dallas and surprising him by picking him up there instead of waiting for him to get his flight to Fort Hood. He was pleasantly surprised and yes, he said I looked wonderful and sexy!! and for the first time in a long time, I FEEL sexy!! I have put a few homecoming pics on my profile. Thanks so much for all your support...just be prepared to pull me out of sadness when he has to go back to Iraq in 2 weeks for 7 more months. I'm down 3.4 lbs this week. My grand total is 93.8 lbs gone. I can smell wonderland!!!!!! Stacy highest weight 304 day of surgery 291 last week 213.6 this week 210.2

Highest Weight 232 lbs Day of Surgery 228 lbs Last Week 169.2 This week 169.8 Gain of .6 Ok, not happy with this past week. I am blaming it on a couple of things. 1) Traveling for 3 days for work and getting up at 5AM each morning, being in a super cold office that kept me from wanting to drink alot of water. 2)Being in office meetings all day that were draining. 3) Returning and being sick for 2 days 4) Not eating my normal weekly meal plan 5) Not getting in the excercise plan for 3 weeks. 6) Being out of my arthritis medicine for the entire week last week, which keeps inflammation down. 7) I also had a couple of issues again in being able to keep food down due to the phlegm problem and inflammation. Am I just rationalizing or do these make sense? I mostly had soups/salads. Ok, I really know there are no real valid excuses. So I have to get back in the game and stay motivated that this weight will come off. When I met with my Rheumatologist on May 30th, she told me that I looked healthy at my current weight and advised me not to get too upset if I never get close to my goal of 132, because people tend to end up weight wise wherever their family genes land around in weight. Well, I know my mom weighs between 170-180. That's where she normally stays unless she is walking alot. I don't want to let that happen. Has anyone had this experience from a doctor? Now with that said, I am still getting lots of compiments and fitting a size 12 just fine. I guess as long as you get compliments it sure helps drive the motivational spirit. I need some serios fairy dust sent my direction. Lindy

Your wish is my command.... Hope this helps to get you back on track!! And, by the way...you look great even if you never lost another ounce!! Though I'm sure that you aren't done quite yet...so don't worry!! You aren't even 6 months out yet!! ~Suz

Thanks for the fairy dust! I was down another lb this morning, so I know my body is in full weight loss gear again. I can tell things seem more regular to me too. Yippie! I know it's not weigh in day but I count it when the scales get below the last smallest weight. Thanks for thinking of me! Lindy

Here is some more fairy dust for you too!! I have not had that experience from any of my other doctors yet..but I still have a long way to go...I have a few ppl at work and friends to say..oh you look great..don't lose any more weight. We don't want you to look sickly. I am thinking they are all nuts! I still have 100 pounds to lose before I out of the obese catergory! I see you have looked back over your last week (or three weeks) and did a good job spotting where some problem areas were for you. Do like you said...get back in the game and stay motivated!! U CAN DO IT!! :thumpsup:
