Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Even if you did not have a big loss Monica, it was an awesome week in the fact that you were able to pass up the birthday cake!! Look at the will power you have! Keep up the good work!

Well I don't know what the hec I'm doing different, But I have lost another 3lbs. HW 292 SW 282 LW 161 TW 158 YES, I'M IN THE 150'S YAHOO!!!! The only thing I'm doing different is NOT exercising and I'm eating more often cause I'm home BORED!! ..(I'm not cleared to exercise from the doctor, cause of my surgery) So I'm probably losing some muscle. I've lost 9lbs this last month, which is cool being this far out. Today I'm officially out 11 months.. Down 134lbs and 92.75 inchs... THAT's a WHOLE other person! Stacey

Awesome Results Stacey! And thank you so much for the encouragment!

Don't you DARE be discouraged... You are still doing AWESOME... It's probably PMSING.. caring some extra water with ya... OR your building more muscle! When I use to PMS (hysterectomy) I would gain 5-8lbs.... I doubt if SF candy and gum is doing it. Are you eating often enough to keep your metabolism going? Your doing GREAT!!! Be proud!!! Stacey

It's ok Steph, you'll catch up next week. You always do. It was a good week in weight loss for me, but I have had some sort of stomach virus or something going on, so I'm not sure how to feel about it right now. I hit several major milestones in the last 7 days. I lost 5 lbs this week and my BMI is now a 23.1. I also reached the century club and am now 1 lb from goal. I have not been feeling well and have not been able to eat too much, so I'm a bit on the weak side. If it doesn't get better by today I will follow up with my PCP and see if he can get me feeling better. Have a great week everyone. HW 242 LW 144 CW 139 Goal weight is 138 lbs Total loss 5 lbs Lori

oh my gosh Lori!! What a momentous week you have had!!! You get to check lots of things off your to do list this week!! Way to go...you look so great! Stacy

Good Monday Morning, January Lovelies! It's cold...I can't get warm. I lost a bit this week, but I think that I am going to try to slow this to a halt...I am getting a bit too boney even for my tastes, hubby is not too pleased either...says my bones poke him too much! Besides, I am sure that a little bit of fat might keep me from feeling quite so cold. Here's my numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 143.8 Today: 142.4 Loss this week: -1.4 Total loss: 109.1 BMI: 22.9 And, Steph...don't stress about that pms water weight...it'll be off by week's end! Now, back to studying for me! ~Suz

Hey Suz! I feel you on the cold thing and not being able to get warm!! lol My shoulders are so boney that it is retarded looking..but my thighs are hanging on for dear life! They are moving but not as quickly as the top part of me..now if I could only figure out how to dictate where the weight loss comes from...I would be good to go!! lol Thanks for the encouragement! I hope that is all it is.....the last two weeks my caloric intake has been very high and I know its do to the extra snacking. But I am finding it so hard not to want to snack on stuff I don't need. So today I brought in some healthier snacks instead of my sugar free candy. We will see how this week goes. And I am still addicted to gum....right now all I have is sugar free but I chew so much of it in one day its crazy. And then I have actually swallowed gum a few times lately and when I first had the surgery, I was deathly afraid to swallow gum. See how lax I am getting with my rules? UGH But today is a new day and things can only get better. Good luck with your finals! I know you can't wait until you get out for the holidays! Steph
