Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Highest Weight 232 lbs Day of Surgery 228 lbs Last Week 156.2 This week 155.6 Loss for the week - .6 Total loss - 76.4 @ 6 months. Most of the week, I was weighing in around 154.6, which would have put me at a 1.6 lb loss for the week. I have AF starting to visit, so I am thinking that is the reason why I didn't loose more. Plus I didn't eat to exceptional over the weekend. Having difficulties again with the pouch seeming to get full after one or two bites. Probably the drainage, etc. I also sprang/fractured my right lunar bone about a week ago, so I might be having some inflamation due to this. I won't know til Thursday exactly what the real damage is. I have also been having some mild hair loss for the last three weeks. It seems to be getting a little worse. Not really sure what to do. I have tried upping my protein and taking biotin...I hope it starts getting better. I guess it just has to run it's course. Tomorrow is my 6 month mark...I would love to be at a solid 152, so I could say that I am down 80 lbs, with only 20 to goal, but I don't think that is realistic. My next goal is to be @ 140 by 8/15. This would put me at 92 lbs loss in 7 months and 8 lbs to goal. I haven't been on typing a whole lot, because it's been too sore to type. So, sorry I am not replying to everyone's thoughts/comments/questions. Hopefully it will start feeling better and I can get back to typing at my normal speeds. Have a great week! Lindy

Sorry to hear that you are hurting, Lindy. Hopefully the news won't be too bad when they find out what's going on. You're pretty lucky if your hair loss just started a few weeks ago...maybe it won't really get on a roll like mine has...it's still coming out!

Lindy - I wish I got full after a few bites! I feel like I'm able to eat to much. Lately I feel hungry a lot more. I'm trying not to give in to the hunger, but I sure miss not being that hungry. I hope you feel better soon!!!!!!!!!!

Good Monday morning January Lovelies!! I had a quiet weekend...the husband took the kids and their Papa to an A's game Saturday...I had the entire house to myself...NO KIDS for an entire day !!!!! It was sheer heaven! Other than that...been eating a little more and exercising like I should. It seems to be working for this week at least! Here are those numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 176.6 Today: 172.8 This weeks loss: 3.8 Total Loss: 78.8 BMI: 27.8 Not too shabby...haven't had a week like this since May. My personal/surgeon goal is 150...so about 23 pounds to go. But, the medical charts say that I should weigh 142...I didn't weight that even before kids when I was a size 5 so I don't know if that is a realistic weight for me. Things do change body-wise, thougth, so maybe 142 is a possibility. I'll have to see how hard it is to get to my goal first . And, I got into my first 12's last week...would be a 10 if not for this flabby tummy . But, they are already seeming a bit loose...so 10's may not be far off afterall. Have a great week!! ~Suz

Wooohooooo Suz, you did great last week. What did you change???? Yeah, I can't remember ever being under 135-140, so we'll see if I ever get there. You are tall right? LUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing great though. congrats!

Honestly, I think that I just ate a few more calories than normal....more near to 1000 on the days that I exercise, about 900 on days I don't. Seems to have changed something? We'll see what happens next week . As for being tall...I'm not so sure about that....I'm only 5'6". But, I guess that is a bit taller than many of you petite ladies! It seems, though, that you and others that would be considered petite in stature also seem to be catching up to goal very quickly...now that is lucky!!

Suz, You and Janie both are going to have to be careful...you girls are getting too sexy for your own good! haha I am childless for 6 or 7 weeks! My mom was visiting and she went back to South Carolina on Saturday and took the kids back with her. They won't be coming bac****il mid September. I don't know what to do with myself. I've never been without the kids this long since I had Kyle at 19 years old! Kids gone...hubby in Iraq....I guess this is what single college girls feels like haha....except they don't have work, a house to remodel, and this awful hanging stomach! haha Congrats on the 12's....the 10's won't be too far in coming. Stacy

Wow, Stephanie...5.2 pounds is a stellar loss for this week! Made up for last week, huh? And, so close to -100...tomorrow's your day!!

Thanks Suz!! It did make up for last week and being this close to the century club is unbelieveable!! I did cheat a weigh in this morning after I had my shower (i normally don't weigh until night with my clothes on) and the scale showed 221! I was like wowsers! I couldn't believe it. That puts me at 106 pounds lost from my highest weight! Now if use my morning numbers...I am really doing awesome!! But I am going to stick with the numbers so I will not be so disappointed when I see my surgeon.
