Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Thanks so much Stacey!

Good morning OH buddies!!! I had a great Thanksgiving with family and followed the 3 bites rule. I only took about 3 bites of all the things I wanted and it kept me from overeating. I was probably the only one in my house who didn't OVERSTUFF themselves, but I must say the food was marvelous *patting myself on the back* Here are my stats HW 242 LW 146 CW 145 Great news. First of all, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who took time out of your day or week last week to pray for me last week about our house. Amazingly enough within days my house sold (after 2 months on the market) and to top it off the buyer wants an immediate close so we are scheduled to close on Friday of this week. Needless to say I am running around like a chicken with no head (gross analogy but you get my point)...we have to move into an apartment (month to month****il our new house is ready, but it seals the deal on the new house, so that takes a big load off. So over the next few weeks I hope to get plenty of needed excersize with the move. Have a great week everyone!

Hey Lori!! Isn't God good? I am so happy to hear that our prayers went up and the house sold!!! And also congrats on the pound loss and following the 3 bit rule....Enjoy the packing and moving and getting ready for your new home!!

WOOOHOOO on losing another lb and YEY on selling the house, what a huge burdened lifted from you. God is good!!!!!!

Still up and down with 148 - 150. PRE OP 267 LW 150 INBETWEEN 148-150 THIS MORNING 149 TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS 118 POUNDS! YEAH!

Way to go Laura!! I am right there with you..I flew thru the 190's but I have been hovering around 180 over a month...:shrugs: hopefully the scale will begin to move down again...I am going to keep following the rules of the pouch and working out and leave it at that

Good morning all, I haven't checked in for several weeks. I was feeling like focusing on the numbers wasn't good for me psychologically even though I'm still losing every week. I don't want the number on the scale to dictate how I feel, but sometimes it does. I'm at a weight I've never seen in my adult life, but I have this weird fear of when the scale will stop moving downward. I'm afraid to stop losing, even though I'm further than I imagined I'd be - it makes no sense. I'm sitting here in size 10 pants and a size medium sweater and I started out wearing size 22/24 and 3X's. I'm down a total of 125 pounds and it's like I can't be satisfied with that. OY. Anyhoo - I'll continue to discuss this with my therapist, but wanted to see if anyone else is feeling similarly. Start: 300 Today: 175 Kerry

Hi Kerry!! You must have been reading my mind this morning. I was making mental notes to post something on my blog titled "will I ever be satisfied". And it was dealing me being so afraid of whats going to happen when the scale stops moving (which it pretty much has here lately). And it freaks me out!! I too have lost much more than I could have imagined and wearing sizes that I did not think would be possible this soon but I am still not satisfied..each time I reach a goal, I seem to find something else that I want to acheive as far as my weight loss goes.

You know what, I totally understand. Even though I am at goal (122) I still look in the mirror and see myself as fat. Not like I used to be, but I pick myself apart. You are right, therapy will help. I think it just takes us awhile to catch up with our body. You are doing AWESOME!!

Good morning everyone, Well I guess I am up again. My body just really does not want to move. But I realize that I can eat a lot more than you guys. I was reading the post about the pretzels and I am amazed that 1/2 snack bag fills up your pouch. I can easily down 4 bags of potato chips without any problem and unfortunately I don't dump on anything. Does anyone else out there have a binge eating problem and how do they deal with it. I am having such a hard time right now. HW 240 SW 230 LW 168.8 TW 170.4
