Monday Weigh Ins

Oh thank you!!! I actually cut my calories from 1000 to about 850 and up'd my exercize to 45 minutes a day and try to do it everyday. I was stuck at 159 though for about 3 weeks, so it could be my body just catching up? Not sure, but I'll take it. You are doing wonderful too!

See, that's the kind of thing that drives me bonkers! I seldom go over 800 calories a day since surgery. I was just thinking that maybe I wasn't getting enough? But, I am only on the treadmill every other day...so maybe that would make a difference. I do lift weights as well, so perhaps I'll just mix it up a little and alternate days...I usually use the treadmill and then weights immediately following. I guess I really can't complain...things are still moving in the right direction.

I know. I hear some people say try uping your calories and you'll lose weight and then I hear of people 6 months out only getting 600-800 calories. I was worried I was going over 1000 calories, so I'm really trying to stay under 900. Who knows! You are doing great though. You have lost a lot of weight and your BMI is the 28's! That's AWESOME!!!

Good morning Gang! You guys are doing great. I started weight training this past week so I kind of expected my loss to slow down, but it didn't. HW: 265 lbs. SW: 252 lbs. LW: 187 lbs. CW: 185 lbs. Two pounds for me. YEAH!!!! Jen

Hey Jen: How did you like the weight training? Keep up the good work!

Good morning everyone!!! I am down 2.4 lbs this week....and drumroll please...**********I have lost a total of 101 lbs!!!!!!************ Whoo!! Hoo!!!!! and I'm only 3 lbs away from onederland! (though I think these 3 lbs are probably going to take their good sweet time! haha) I still can't believe it...I still see a 304lbs woman when I look in the mirror...I know the mental thing will take a long time to adjust to. As always...thank you to each and every one of you that have been so supportive with this journey...you guys are great!!! Have a wonderful week.... and bartender...a round of fairy dust to everyone here....on me! Stacy highest weight 304 day of surgery 291 last week 205.4 this week 203

Yahoo! You made it over 100 lbs and are knocking at Onederlands door. Best of luck this week in getting there. How awesome you must feel to be doing so great!! I know your hubby is loving it, even if he can't be there to see it each day. Hugs, Lindy

Stephanie, You are doing so awesome!! I know what you mean about not imagining a year ago where we would be....I was adamant about not having the surgery, until I found out it could be done lap...then it all fell together for me. People ask me if I would do it again....You bet your a** I would!!!! Without hesitation...it's the smartest thing I could have ever done...maybe not the easiest some days, but, most definately the smartest...I have a new lease on life and for that it is worth it all. Keep up the good work! Stacy

I would do it again too!! And look out onderland...here comes Stacy!! I bet you will be there in the next week or so. Make sure you let us know when you get there!!
