Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Truthfully? It kinds sucks. But, I do know that it is best for me, at least physically :o(.

Janie, I think what you are going through is common. At least from the few people I have discussed my "issues" with, it's pretty normal to go through what you are mentally. In fact, I posted a blog a few days ago about something similar going on with me. I feel fine, but somehow I don't see what everyone else does, and feel like it's ok to lose more even though I'm already below goal. You can probably relate.

Hello ladies! Here are my stats .. I actually had gained 5 pounds so I down 2 this week. I had my surgiversary last week and it was a bitter sweet day for me, I am disappointed in myself for gaining the 5 pounds and not making my personal goal by one year (135 pounds). I have been really making a huge effort to lose and the weight is just not coming off, I have not had a loss in over 2 months .. I gained. I had to work super hard this week just to get the 2 pounds off. I feel defeated! Anyways enough of my complaints... Have a great week! HW 264 SW 264 LW 149 CW 147

Great week Stephanie! I am still doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. I am not snacking and am getting my water and protein in, but the scale is not moving at all. I am still at 212 having lost 155 pounds. I know it has to move eventually. I am hoping to get a bit closer to my goal before my surgiversary at the end of the month. I still need to lose 37 pounds to meet my doctors final goal for me. It seems close on some days and so far away on other days. It is funny how my head has changed though that I think of 37 pounds as a lot. Compared to the huge numbers I am used to dealing with in the dark past, 37 should sound simple but it is sounding pretty huge right now. Once I get to goal, I know that 5 pounds is going to sound like a lot and that will be a good thing since I plan on it being my buffer. Hugs, Katy

I'm a day late, but need the accountability so here goes. HW 242 LW 134 CW 133 Loss of 1 lb, but boucing back and forth. Have a great week! Lori

Great work Steph!! WOW! Well here are my stats HW 292 SW 282 LW 156 TW 150 Yes thats right down 6lbs.. but its not all good news. I ended up having a exp. lap last friday and they found a internal hernia... BUT they still havent fixed me cause since then Ive had pain when I eat and drink up by my pouch and they dont know whats wrong. Its something mechanical with me though cause all my labs are great! Something isnt funchtioning right. I go see the surgeon on Thursday to see what's going to happen.. Im sure surgery AGAIN! Say some prayers and wish me luck OH friends, Im going to need it! Stace

Oh man, Stacey...that is just an awful way to lose 6 pounds. I hope that they get to the bottom of your pain and get it fixed once and for all. In the meantime, be good to yourself and take care. And of course keep us posted!!

OMG- another surgery- weren't you just getting your clearance to exercise again? That stinks... I hope they get you all fixed up soon and please keep us posted!!! Hang in there- Brit PS- for what it's worth- congrats on almost the 140's...

Oh man Stacey, that stinks. Is it something RNY related? Gosh, I hope you don't need surgery. I'll keep you in my prayers. 6 lbs is great, but I'm sure it's not so great how you lost it. what is your goal? How tall are you? Keep us posted and we'll be thinking of ya. ***HUGS****
