Monday Morning Weigh Ins

I am tired of this up/down yo-yo thing. I feel like I am never going to get to -80, let alone to goal. I see everyone here has lost so much more than me, its depressing. I still have 87 lbs to goal.. I dont think I will get there. I am really going to focus this week on my protein and my exercise, and see if that makes a difference. HW 299 SW 288 LW 225.5 CW 227 1.5 lb gain.

I know how you feel. Its so frustrating. Ive been bouncin around the same 3lbs for weeks now and only losing 4-6lbs a month. That sucks when at first it was 20lbs a month AND im still 100lbs from goal. But this week I dropped 5lbs!! So there is hope yet. Dont get too discouraged. It will pick back up and you will get to goal. I think it just starts to slow down a bit now. Mary

HI Jennifer, Okay .....Don't be down on yourself. I had surgery 3 days after you and have lost 74 since surgery and had lost 21 before. We are all different and lose at a different pace. You will lose.. it just takes time. Just don't compare yourself to other people. You are doing great. Remember the slower you lose the less skin. I spent 2 months in the 140's and now the scale is finally moving. I know it is hard but it will happen. Here is some fairy dust for you. Hugs !! Roxanne

GOOD MORNING OH!!! Here are my stats: Its funny cause I have to look up what I weighed last week... I weigh everyday and as long as Im NOT gaining, I dont worry so much about losing anymore. All though my goal weight is 145lbs. HW 292 SW 282 LW 180 CW 179 1lb loss... Better than nothing! Thank you for doing this Stephanie! FYI- yesterday was my sons birthday and he's feeling tons better (thank God) New pictures in my profile. Everyone have a good week! Stacey

No problem Stacey!! Thank you for posting each week!! And I so glad to hear you son is doing better and I know he was glad to be feeling better and able to enjoy his birthday!

Hey Stacey - thanks so much for the compliment!!!! I'm so glad your son is doing better too!!! You have come so far, your new pics look AWESOME!

Im almost scared to put this in writing but.... I lost 5lbs this week!!!!!! Im so excited because Ive been bouncin around the same 3lbs and have only been losing 4-6lbs a month for the past couple of months. I just hope it doesnt bounce back up!! I didnt do anything differant this week. Of course it is almost "that" time and I usually have my biggest loss a few days before I start. Im not complaining tho...I'll take the loss no matter how I got it!! LOL SW: 367 LW: 241 Today: 236 Mary I cant wait to see 199 on that scale!!!!!!!!

WOWSERS!! Must have been exciting moment for you to see that 5lb loss!! Keep working that tool and the pounds are bound to come off!
