Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Good Morning all!! Hope you all had wonderful weeks last week and are gearing up for an even better week this week! Can you believe my daughter turned 17 today??? Oh my gosh! Does that make me old? Oh well, I am just glad the celebration is over! It is stressful planning a function for a 17 year old if you know what I mean. But even with the stress, things turned out perfect! So enough ramblling...here are my stats: HW 327 SW 322 LW 168 CW 162.8 Loss 5.2!! I guess my gain from last week left and took a few friends with them! I am ok with that! Talk to you all later. Steph

Stephanie, You totally rock! And...you are not old! That is a fantastic weight loss for this week. My weight has kind of plateaued and I'm not sure I'm going to lose any more (and that's okay if I don't) but I did crank up my workouts a notch and am trying to be a bit more careful about my carb snacking (I haven't eliminated this entirely though - I tried but it was too hard!). That said, I managed to meet my goal of 120 lb weight loss today -I've actually been weighing between 152.5 and 154 for the past few weeks! Here's my stats: SW:272 LW:153 CW:152 Have a great week everyone! I'm so glad we are still doing this. Beth

Thanks for letting me know I am not old!! And I feel you on the snacking thingy....at first I chalked it up to PMSing but now I see that I just want to eat all the time. And that is so scary to me. I have got to find a way to get back in check and not snack when I know I am not hungry. Glad to hear you met you goal too! Keep up the good work! Stephanie

due to my recent need to snack i am going to try really hard and join this thread on a regular basis. if i know i have to post each week maybe i will not be as likely to snack. HW:353 (2 days before surg) SW: 346 CW:170

Welcome back! You have had amazing results!!

Wow...you've lost over half of yourself! You should be so proud! And, many of us are being possessed by the snack demon... he's really hard to resist sometimes!

WOW- snack demon here too- he has moved in and I'm kicking him out!!! Holly

Please let me know how you get the snack demon out for good!! lol I put him out and he finds a way back in!! lol

Good Monday Morning Stephanie and my January Lovelies! finally...I gained a bit. I wonder if I will be able to hold on to it? I am feeling the desire to snack and graze all of the time...right now it's not such a bad thing since I'm trying to gain, but later on? Will I gain too much and then be in perpetual diet mode? Lots of questions from me this morning, eh? Here's my numbers: Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 140.8 Today: 144.0 Loss/Gain: +3.2!! WOW! Never thought I'd be excited to see a gain of three pounds in one week. My brain is not liking this one bit! Have a great week ladies, and the best of luck staying on track! ~Suz

This journey is roller coaster isn't it? lol I feel guilty even when I snack on healthy foods. My surgeron is a stickler for the 3 meals a day with no snacking in between....but that just does not seem realistic to me any longer. My appetite has returned and it is taking no prisoners. And I feel on thinking if I snack now on healthy things...will I progress or regress to the old unhealthy comforting snacks? Man its crazy. But anywhoo...congrats on your gain!! Who would have thought we would congratulate you on a gain?? I hope you can hold on to it so you will not be so boney!
