Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Oh Steph, don't you love feeling bones? hehehehehe! I do, I can't remember the last time I felt hip bones or my rib cage. I thought something was wrong with me at first!! lol!!! I hear you about the grazing, I have been trying not too, but the feeling is there.

It is a nice weird experience!! The first time I felt them I thought something was wrong with me too!! lol And the grazing thing is so crazy and I am just starting to experience the head hunger now...how crazy is that?

Hey Suz!!! I also was wondering when I would stop losing. Like the other posters, I too have been watnting to graze. I think a lot of it had to do with my cycle though. I started today, so hopefully I won't have the urge to munch all day any longer. It really scares me to think I could go back to my old eating habits. NEVER! NEVER!!!!!!! You have done awesome!!! Don't lose too much more Ms. Boney!!!!!!

Hey Girls!! I've had a decent week... Down one lb this week.. I'll take it! I went and see my PA last thursday... Very good appt. My labs are excellent! She said according to my labs, my chances of heart disease is zero to none! That's exciting news to me. She said I look about 10-15lbs under the weight that I weigh cause of musle.. lol I'm like you havent seen me naked!!!! I'm obviously down inches cause my size 12's are getting baggy.. I have one pair of 10's that fit, the rest are to tight. I'm a little addicted to shopping, Ive been shopping every single weekend. But I did need a whole new wardrobe. Yahoo! Everyone is doing great on here!! Anyone have new food ideas? I hate it when I have such a craving for something, then after the first two bites it doesnt agree with me. Anyone else have that attitude? Stats: HW 292 SW 282 LW 169 TW 168 HAVE A WONDERFUL MONDAY!!! Stacey

Hey Stacey! I am with you on the shopping thing! It is way to much fun now and I mean...I did not have any cold weather clothing so I had a good excuse to shop each weekend! lol And the bargins I can find now are amazing..so it keeps me hooked on shopping...

Stacey - YEY that your labs were excellent and that you're going into a size 10!!!!!!!! You are doing awesome! I know you feel good!!!

HW: 232 SW: 228 LW: 131.4 CW: 135 Total gain for the week 3.6. Total loss = 97 lbs I guess this means that I have to get back to the Century club and goal. Oh well, I still have a WOW. I bought and wore a size 6 jeans from The Gap this weekend. I tried on size 6 at several stores and those low riding, skinny but jeans are just not me. I am nicely filled out in that area. I hope everyone has a better week than I did....Oh well I guess @ 135 I still can't complain. Here is to a better week this week. Hugs, Lindy

Ah, Lindy....that gain just stinks!! Any idea what it's from...can't possibly be fat. Congrats on those size 6's!!! I know what you mean about the low rise jeans...I still can't wear most junior sized jeans because of that issue, but I fit in a 4 misses? I don't get it.

Well, I am thinking that I didn't eat enough last week or drink enough water and possibly a flare up of my Sjogren's syndrome, where I blow up like a balloon with excess water/swelling. I don't go back to my RA dr until late November, so not really sure what all is going on. Just not really sure. I am also thinking that the patch that I am on for estrogen after the surgery might have something to do with it. I guess I could reason it to death and still not really know. The sad thing is that I didn't grab the camera and take a picture of the scales on the day I weighed in @ 131...just so I would have proof for myself. Because now I am feeling that it was a dream...even though I know it wasn't. Wow, that is great you are in a size 4 misses. That is awesome!!! I did fit some size 4's at Fashion bug, but I felt they were just a bit too snug for me at this point. I guess because I don't want a muffin top. My husband doesn't like tight clothes at all, so I have to stay with a little looser clothes.

You know, you might be on to something with the extra estrogen causing a gain. My best friend was having a problem with cysts on her ovaries, so they put her into a hormonal menopause for a year. Within 9 months she gained over 30 pounds!! She won't even go back for the final shot because of the extra weight. She said that even though she may need a hysterectomy if this didn't work after complying for only 9 months, she would rather have one done at only 36 years old than keep gaining weight with no control on her part. But, her gyn did warn her that she would probably gain weight from it. So, I don't know how similar the situations are, but it could really be playing a role.
