Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Hey Holly! I had a horrilble week last week too and I am doing the 5day pouch test to get rid help me break this carb cycle I was caught up in! And I also have shrunk! I was 5'7 and I am now 5'6 1/2! I thought I was going nuts when that happened. My surgeron could not explain it at all either...go figure. I miss my half inch!! I would be closer to a normal bmi if I were still 5'7! lol

Here are my numbers. HW 367 SW 357 LW 211 CW 215 up 4 pounds this week I just don't get it. I am eating correctly for the most part (I had two days of snacking on stuff I don't usually eat that was required before allergy food testing) and working out like a mad woman. I am getting hungry more frequently and getting pretty good at ignoring it. I am a bit low on protein this week but I don't have a clue as to why I gained. Katy B

Katy- Don't be discouraged- I think it's all about the exercise... The weeks that I really up mine I gain- I know the exercise is good for me in the long run- but scale-wise it's really hard to understand and stay motivated. I also know that during certain times of the month I am bigger and am heavier for no reason other than hormones. I'm having a better week so far- 1 1/2 days so far- but I'm upping my protein. Also- are you eating enough- when I'm really exercising I can seriously put away 2400 calories. Just some thoughts... I'm still thinking of another post you wrote- I too love the weights but really have to force myself on the cardio!!! Holly

Holly, I know what you mean about the cardio. I love the way it makes me feel but....I do have to make myself do it some days. I don't have a problem following up my weight workout with cardio because I am in such a good mood that I am amped to move. It is the nonweight workout days that I am not as energetic about getting it done. LOL Do you know how to tell if you are getting enough calories? I am a little fuzzy on that whole thing. Hugs, Katy

Hi everyone, Short and sweet because it's late and I am late posting. I am holding @ 116 lbs. I am so glad to be back up as I was on a real scare with the stomach virus issue. I am happy with this weight and I believe that this is a good maintenance area for a while at least until we can push forward with PG, which I know will add weight. Hugs to all and I hope you have a great week and prayers are answered. Lindy

Better late than never, right???? Just maintaining here in Iowa... I was 143lbs. this morning... Juggle between 143 and 145lbs... That's ok with me!! Yesterday I munched all day long... and not really on good stuff either... and I was down a lb.. weird isnt it? Today back on track. Hope everyone else is well! Stacey
