Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Hi there everyone! Kind of late signing in but better late than never. I forgot to post last week - the holiday screwed up my "normal" routine. HW and day of surgery: 354 2 weeks ago: 234.6 Today : 232.8 Down 1.8 pounds but in 2 weeks. Things are really slowing down! But I think I'm still losing inches when I'm not losing as much weight. I just saw a girlfriend on Saturday who I went out to dinner with a couple of weeks before that and she said she thought I looked like I had lost more weight so that's a good thing! One cool wow moment for me.....I'm a big Iowa State Cyclone fan, my family has season tickets to football....even though the team is horrible this year so far we have fun at the games. This year for the 1st time I bought myself a "girly" ISU t-shirt. Capped sleeves, scoop neck and somewhat fitted. A far cry from the big 3X man shirts I wore in the seasons past. I bought this XL shirt not too long after my surgery thinking that it probably wouldn't fit me at the beginning of FB season but maybe at the end or for basketball - well I was able to wear it for the home opener! I was pretty excited about that! Saturday was my 7 month surgiversary - I need to get some updated pictures on soon and post on my blog. Have a great week! Carrie

YEY Carrie! Isn't it great being able to fit into a regular size tshirt? You're doing great!

WOOHOO Carrie!! That is an awsome wow moment!! Keep up the good work!

Good morning guys, I must confess to ducking the boards the last few weeks while stalled... it's hard not to be embarrassed *shrug*. You guys are doing great glad to see all the downward movement. Here's mine: HW 336 SW 310 LW 214 TW 214 Stallsville... which is totally 100% my fault... I rediscovered my love of bad carbs, which I promptly removed again from my diet See you next week, hopefully on the losing side again, Michele

Michele...thanks for posting while in stallsville!! (I like that word!) We visit stallsville and when someone posts while they are stalling, it helps the rest of keep hope when we see you start to lose again. We know the loss will pick up for you again too, and while you are stalling, you are losing inches and you are remaining consistent with you weight. I had several weeks so far where I actually gained weight..one week I gained more than 5 lbs...and had it not been for you guys here...I would have lost my mind! But I had read others post a few weeks before that they had gained so I was a lot calmer than I would have been otherwise. See you next week with a loss!!

Sorry, I'm a day late with my weigh in. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm going to try to post more often. I really love this site. HW 265 SW 242 CW 148

Hey, April...long time no "see". Looks like you are doing really well, though. You must be enjoying the fantastic weather we have been having in Sac. lately. I know everyone in my house has!! Summer in Sac is for the birds...usually it's like living on the sun! Hope to hear from you more often . ~Suz

Ok, so I am finally moving the scale again in the right direction. I think its due to the extra two days of running. I will def take, I can't wait to be under 200, that is my goal to reach by thanksgiving. Congrats everyone, yall are amazing and inspiring. HW 290 SW 284 LW 223.5 CW 220.0 3.5 Pounds lost ~Moni

Wow, Moni...3.5 pounds lost this week is great!! You will definately make your mini-goal by Thanksgiving. And, congrats on 70 pounds lost since your high weight! ~Suz

Finally, I broke my stall after 3 weeks What did I do? I ate! I finally allowed myself to eat the proper amount of calories...I still won't go over 1000 but I am over 900 now and my body appreciates it. No more headaches either! Stats: HW/Day of surgery: 246 Past 3 weeks: 174 This week: 169 That's a 5lb. loss. I don't think I've lost 5lbs. in a week since the first week after surgery. Everyone's doing so great!
