Monday Morning Weigh In

Hello everyone- We ended up spending more time in Costa Rica and although wonderful- the fulltime cook and gourmet meals took a toll on me. I am currently up 6 pounds from my lowest- it is very scary. I have learned I could very easily gain back a lot of weight. I am back on track again- but wow- SCARY!!! My current BMI is 21.8 at 135 pounds I was at 20.8 at 129 pounds I know I could get a lot lower- but have to remind myself that I am pretty normal and that's okay. I guess this is my welcome to maintenance!!! Am I the first to gain this much weight back? Holly

Hello everyone!!! I can't believe we are all a year out or very close (22nd will be a yr for me) I have to go this Wed to get my labs done. I went late for my 9 month and appt (in Dec, bad, bad) but they didn't draw all of the blood that they were supposed to for various tests, so now I have to go back. Which is ok because I'm close to my 1 yr. I have gained a couple of pounds, which I'm ok with, I am still wearing the same size, but I was starting to get too think in the face and neck. Wish I could pinpoint where I lose. Ya know? Holly, oh I hear you on gaining the weight. It does come back on easily. I was actually surprised that it comes on much quicker than losing it does. Over the holiday's I ate more carbs and stuff like cheese dip and crackers, bread and spinach dip and I swear to you in a matter of a couple of days I put on 4 lbs. I about died. I got it off but still. You are at a great weight, and I wouldn't fret over a few lbs. I am 123 now and as long as I stay under 125 I will be ok with that. I know that sounds low, but remember I'm a shorty at only 5'2! Everyone is doing so good. What an amazing year it has been. I am so proud of us!!! HW 238 SW 225 LW 122 CW 123 Have a great week everyone!

Janie- Thanks- I'm trying to give myself a window of weight that is okay- but i went over it... I finally posted another pic- it's not great- but for those of us tech challenged I'm just happy I was able to do it... see you next week- hopefully out of my right "window"... Holly

Holly!!!!!!!!!! You don't need to lose anymore weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look great, tall and skinny!!!!! Seriously, I didn't realize you were so tall. You have done fantastic and trust me you are thin! Great job! Now put that gorgeous pic in your avatar!!!

I have heels on- that always helps!!! I'm really only 5' 6"... I don't know how to do an avatar- but I'll try to look into it Thanks!!! Holly

Holly - I resized 2 of your pics if you want to use them for your avatar let me know. I did the other one with you with the dress on because you were smiling more!

too thin or looks good thin? I'll post one sometime without heels and you'll see a huge difference!!! Thanks- Holly

Holly - not too thin, but you really don't need to lose anymore weight. You look great! Yes, I wear heels all of the time too!

Hi everyone, I am still trying to get closer to doctors goal. I wondered if you all are weighing with your clothes on or off. Just a thought. I have been doing both because I need to get to 145 with the clothes on....Sigh I still might do it. HW 270 SW 250 LW 153 CW 150 Lost 3 lbs not too shabby. I'm still doing the daily up and down. Maybe I should stop weighing myself daily but that is how I maintain. Anna

Hey Anna: I weigh at night with my clothes on to get the highest weight possible and that is what I go by. I still weigh my self daily too!! Actually at least 3 times a day...when I get up, after I work out and then at around 9 pm. So I am right there with you on the weighing thingy.
