Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Here are my stats: HW 327 SW 322 LW 169.8 CW 166.0 Lost 3.8 Hope you all have great weeks!

Good morning, Stephanie...could it be just us today?? What a great week you had!! Almost 4 pounds lost is wonderful...and here I am trying to gain :o(...not fun. Here's my numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 141.6 Today: 142.0 Loss/gain: + 0.4 pounds I am trying to gain back to 145 or 150, so this gain is good. But, my crazy mind freaks out every time I gain. Ugh!!! I can't seem to win! Have a great day, Stephanie and January Lovelies! ~Suz

Suz- I totally understand with freaking out with seeing the scale go back up- even though it's what is healthy for you. That's why I've got my 5 pound window and anything outside of that I just will not allow. I haven't had to gain yet- I'm still totally normal- so I probly only kind of understand what you're going through. If I dropped another 10 pounds I might be in your situation- but still it sounds like it would be scary- even though it's what's best. I still have a round face and don't look drawn like some RNY patients can when they lose too much- I think I'm probly right where I should be... Funny how much our mindsets have changed... Brit

Hey Suz! It has been quiet around here on Monday's lately. And even though I am still trying to shed a few pounds...I can imagine freaking out with every gain, even if it is intentional. lol So at least you know youa re not crazy. Hope you enjoy your week too! Steph

HW: 232 SW: 228 LW: 121.8 CW: 120.2 Just bouncing around lately between 120 and 122. I am okay and happy with it. Thanks, Lindy

Steph- great week!!! Almost 4 pounds- WOW!!! HW 250 SW 241 LW 128 TW 128 I've upped my potassium and fluids due to these extreme leg cramps/ spasms- anybody having these? Also I remember somebody posting about their tailbone hurting- was it Anna? I know I never injured it but some things hurt to sit on for awhile- like my car and the chair at my computer- is it less padding? We're having a snowstorm right now- I think I'll count shoveling as my exercise today. For those who are maintaining are you cutting back on some of your exercise? Have a great week... Holly

Thanks!! I have some cramps periodically in my legs but they are not too bad so I have not done anything about it yet.

It was me. My tailbone hurts constantly, no matter what I do, even laying down I can't seem to get comfortable. My back right across the bra line also seems to hurt constantly now too. Who knows, it's crazy.

Hey ladies! I haven't checked in for a while so I thought I better. Still holding at 168. I really don't want to go much lower. 164 was my goal, but I am getting a little boney, plus the TT will probably take 4-6 pounds off. I have got a huge frame, so I just don't know. My surgeon said 155 at the beginning, but I cannot imagine losing almost 15 more pounds. What I REALLY need to work on building muscle tone, especially my arms and butt! Steph, that is AWESOME to have a 4 pound loss this late in the game. FAB-U-LOUS! Belle

Steph!! Wow, you amaze me!! How did you lose 4 lbs so late out? WOW! What's your goal? I forget how tall you are! You look great!!! Tell us your secret!!!!! I've managed to put on 2-3 lbs since Christmas and can't stop worrying about it. Though, people have told me I shouldn't get back down to 120,that 123 looks better. Can you really see a 3 lb gain or loss though? lol! My mind still wants to wake up and see that scale go down and I get dissapointed when it doesn't, but I know deep down that I should stay where I am. Once I get that TT hopefully all will be well! I can't wait to stop feeling heavy. I know it sounds weird, I feel great on one hand, but on another I feel like I'm scamming everyone and I'm really still fat. Anyone else going through this? Well, I'm a yr out and have updated my profile if you care to check it out. HW 238 SW 225 LW 122-123 CW 123 Have a great week everyone!! And Suz - how does it feel to have to gain weight? WOW!!!
