Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Good Monday Morning Everyone! Hope you all had wonderful weeks. Here are my current stats: HW 327 SW 322 LW 193 CW 189.8 Loss 3.2 pounds Talk to you soon!

Way to go Stephanie! I'm still stuck. It's official....a full month at the same weight. I'm really discouraged. I've started taking my synthroid a little differently, hoping maybe my thyroid is wacked out again and that's what has caused the stall. I'm also wondering if the stupid hormone replacement therapy my gyn put me on to prep for my surgery (see below) has made me stall. Whatever the reason, I'm really really discouraged and just want to cry. If anyone feels like praying, I'm scheduled for a hysterectomy on Wednesday. Not sure when I'll be back online, but I'll update when I can. Maybe this old worn out uterus (5 kids) will weigh a pound or two. There's always hope! Margaret 276/STUCK at 189/135

Hey Margaret! Thank you so much for posting even when you are discouraged. I will definitely be in prayer with you for your surgery and for your stall to be over! Please post and let us know how things went with your surgery as soon as you feel up to it!! ((HUGS))

Not in a good mood, not happy at all. Today is my first "official" Monday weigh in weight gain. I was very sick Friday and have not been eating much at all, so this really stinks! HW 242 LW 155 CW 156 Gained 1 lb!! UGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hey Lori!! Hope you are feeling better today than you were on Friday and don't worry about the pound.....you know the scale does so quirky things at times and I would say because you were not eating much while you were sick, your body maybe holding on to water and such to compensate for you not eating. That pound will be gone before you know it! And thanks for posting even when you were not happy with your numbers!! Here's wishing you a good week in loss this week. And btw, how close are you to your goal now?

Thanks for the encouragment Steph! Goal is 138, so I am less than 20 lbs away now. Feel great, but would certainly like to meet or beat goal before Christmas. I had been averageing 10-11 lbs loss per month, but am not doing so well this month.

No problem!! And 20 pounds is a very realistic goal for you to reach before Christmas. I was freaking out a bit last week when I realized my weight loss had slown down so drastically...but I had to realize it was just that time. My loss from Aug 2 to present was 23 pounds...but when compared to the first 6 months, I was losing at least 45 every 3 months...so my loss was cut in half! But I am ok with that now...lol Keep on doing what you are doing and those last 20 pounds will be gone before you know it!

I know it really doesn't help much...but I have had a couple of weeks with a modest gain, too. It always comes off and takes a couple extra with it by the next Monday! You'll be back to dropping pounds in no time! So...turn that frown upside down ! Lame-I know! LOL

My scale was nice to me and gave up a few pounds since yesterday morning...LOL Current weight 153.5 (156 yesterday am....how's that work???)

I have no idea, but my scale gave me another 1lb. off this morning, too. That makes about 5 pounds lost in the past 8 days. With this sudden rate of loss, I really wonder what in the heck is going on in there??
