Monday Morning Weigh Ins

WOWSERS! It looks like the swelling has gone down in my right leg and I am so happy about it. I attended an on line support group meeting with LAWLS and we were challenged to get back on track by doing a three day liquid protein train. I decided to participate this week becuase the three days prior to the support group meeting, I had been grazing and snacking so much and gone WAY over my calorie range for three days in a row. And as you can see I had fantastic results! With the swelling in my leg gone and doing the liquid protein train for two days and partially on today...here are my WOWSER stats: HW 327 SW 322 LW 162.4 CW 153.2 Thats 9.2 pounds!!! Taking my bmi into the normal range!! 24.7!!! I am not overweight anymore!!! God is so good and I am so thankful!

Stephanie, I am so very proud of you. You really inspire us!! I also had a great week. HW 270 SW 255 LW 145 CW140.2 Wooohoooo that is 4.8lbs gone. Now if I can just stay here or go down. I haven't gotten this far though before so I am really encouraged. Just 5.2 lbs away from my docs new goal and 8.2 from mine. Anna

Way to go Anna!! And thanks!!!

GOOD MORNING !! Well... This is weird.. Just Sat. I told my hubby I wanted to see the 130's... lol as he was telling me not to lose anymore... I was actually just kidding with him. Then this morning... Im weighing in at 139lbs. WEIRD! HW- 292 SW-282 LW- 142 TW- 139 Down 3 lbs without trying... Dont know what's up with that. I did start a new job this week... No more overnights, But now Im working in ER so maybe there is a little more stress... OH well.. I feel good! Hope everyone is doing GREAT!!! Congrats Steph... It feels good to be normal, huh? Stacey

Yes Stacey it does feel great!! And congrats on getting into the 130's and on your new job!! Keep up the good work!! Steph I will do a little dance with you and Anna!! This seems to be the week for big losses!!

Waaaaa I want to be normal. I am still considered overweight...sigh. Curse this being so short...lol. I am at 25.6 and need to be at 24 to be normal. I'll get there....I have no doubt. Anna

Good Monday Morning my January Lovelies! Congrats to you, Stephanie for reaching the "normal" range of your BMI. The way you look, I would have sworn that you were there a long time ago...you already look like you could be at goal . I haven't really been very hungry this week and every time that I sit down to eat something I can only get in a couple of bites before I feel full. I don't know what's going on with that...but I think that I'm going to stick to shakes for a couple of days and see if that helps my appetite to return. Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 144.4 Today: 142.2 Loss/gain: -2.2 (I'm sure it was jus****er retention) I'm willing to bet that nothing will change much with my weight over the next week, unless my appetite decides to stay on vacation. I have this weird feeling that my body wants to drop into the 130's....and that's just too low for me :o(. Oh well, have a wonderful week ladies, and gentlemen ( Hi Rich!!). ~Suz

Thanks Suz and I hope your appetite returns...boy do I wish man would take a vacation! lol I am trying so of the teas that you recommended to me and I appreciate the suggestion...but I can't find the caramel flavored one. I am still looking though and bought a few different flavors to try out Talk to you soon. Steph
