Monday Morning Weigh-ins

Just read Suz's Post and you know who is gonna be dragging in here no matter what!!!! I WILL NOT go back!!! I have gained and lost and together we will get through this ladies!!!! HW 250 LW 129 TW 128 lowest 126 current bmi 20.7 Been very busy- but wow- it's alot easier not to overeat in the summer- with all the yummy fruit and salads- and it's too hot to eat the heavy stuff. Now if I could just stay away from the wine I'd be fine. I backed off of the exercise this week- only twice. The triplets had their kindergarten shots and two of them had reactions. One of them threw-up right in the middle of my workout at the Y and then the other had such a high fever that night he had to go to the ER. We were there all night and then he blew up like a balloon. Then back to the hospital for another iron infusion 2 days later. Bone scan on Weds- I'll keep you posted... Holly

Hello, Holly! It's not the morning anymore...but here I go anyway! Gotta stay accountable, right? Surgery/high: 251.5 Last Monday: 143.8 Today: 145.0 Like I said in my other post...a bit of a gain happening over the last couple of weeks. Hopefully not a trend, but just a blip. Either way, I am the only one with control over that situation. We'll see what those numbers say next Monday . The wine is quite lovely out here in Ca, too and I'm enjoying that glass almost every night. Can we say "empty calories"? So sorry about your little ones. Was the reaction in the range of normal, or did they say that it was unusual? Thank goodness kids tend to bounce back quickly...no doubt they are already on the mend and driving you crazy again . ~Suz

I'm here too. I like Holly will always have to be held accountable. I learned that this last week. I went to a conference and there was a ton of good food. Even eating what everyone else ate only in smaller portions I still gained. I knew I would though so I'm not freaked out about it. I'm working on losing it as we speak...lol. I like Holly will not go back. I refuse. HW 270 SW 255 LW 137.2 CW 141.2 A 4 lb gain in just a week...yikes I guess that does freak me out a bit...lol. I'm on my way to the gym to work my butt off to get back to 137.2. Holly so sorry to hear about your little ones and then having to go for another infusion. Keep us posted on your bone scan results. Anna

Awww Holly, sorry to hear about the triplets. I'm sure it was just a reaction to the vaccines, poor babies. How did they do w/ their shots? Yes keep us posted on the iron difusion and bone scan. What's the bone scan for anyways? WOOHOOO the triiplests start school (kindergarten???) in the Fall? LUCKY YOU!!! Will they go half days then? Mine start too, they will go 2 full days one week and then 3 the next. Looking forward to that! HW 238 SW 225 LW 120?? CW between 199-123. today I was 120.8, which in my book ia arill 120 right? lol! Steph, are you oke, you out there? I hope everything is ok and the swelling has gone down for you.

Hi Janie: I am still here...just had a hectic morning and the swelling has gone down but they have not figured out what is going on yet. I have two more doctor's appt about it this month so hopefully one of them will tell me something good lol And you have to get used to not typing big number after the 1 in your weight..this is the second time you have typed 199 instead of 119!!

lol, I can't believe I do type i***** lot. You know what is weird? Sometimes when I get on the scale and I see 119 or 123 or whatever, I am excited. Then when I walk away I think maybe I read the #'s wrong and it really was 191 or 132 ( meaning I reversed the last 2 #'s) Anyone ever going through that? 3, I will think that it says 192 or 132 ( I reverse the last 2 #'s) I'm glad the swelling has gone done. Has this happened before, the swelling goes down and then you get it again? I hope they can figure out what's wrong. ***HUGS***

It has happened before but back in the day, the would blame it on my weight....now they are just confused....but the more I look at my charts and pay attention, I actually think it is water retention due to my cycle...even though I am not having one right now...the last two months the swelling was exactly 4 weeks apart...almost to the day. Go figure...so they are also trying to figure out why I am not having a cycle too...

OOOPS I meant 119, lol! not 199, guess my brain hasn't caught up with my body yet. lol!

Hi Ladies! I read still, but don't post much. Just wanted to let you know I am here and having some scale issues myself. I am bouncing between 155-160. Today my weight was up 3 pounds from 3 days ago (159 this morning.) It definitely makes me feel panicked, especially with my recent late night binging is showing its ugly self again. I am trying to make good choices when I give in, like watermelon, tomatoes, avacados, lunch meat, etc. but it is still eating when I should be done for the day. I have eaten TWO mini meals tonight since dinner! UHG! I think it is the opposite of Holly. I am so busy during the school year, I sometimes forget to eat. Now during the summer, I boredom eat I think. Plan for the rest of this week (Tuesday-Thursday since we are leaving for vacation Thursday night): Less than 2000 calories a day Journal on Fitday every day Drink at least 64 oz of water every day Take all vitamins every day Exercise atleast 20 minutes everyday. I'll let you know if I meet my goals or not! Wish me luck on the big Disney Vacation!!! Belle Holly- Sorry about the allergic reaction. Yuck! My son just had his kindergarten shots, but not trips to the ER TG! Janie- My oldest did that kindergarten schedule. I loved it. Our school only offers full day, every day kindergarten now. I think it might be too much from my son. We'll see!

Hey Belle - You don't want the all day everday kindergarted?? You have triplets right? I would be praising the school district for that schedule. lol! I can't even imagine triplets. The twins keep me super busy, they are 5 yr old girls and I swear they talk all of the time, to me!!!!! UGH! lol! How are you doing after your PS? Still happy with the results? I still want to see your arm pics. I hate my arms. Oh, have your breasts settled? Mine were so perky right after my lift and they went down a little. They are still high and I could get by w/o a bra and you wouldn't even know it, but before holy cow, those puppy's were up there. I felt like a teenager. hehehehehe! The nurse at the PS office said I had some swelling and that's probably why they were so high. When you're sitting down do you ever feel that you have your loose skin again or rolls on your tummy and it's hanging out of your jeans? I feel that all of the time, I get paranoid and have to touch my stomach. It's not true, it's still totally flat, but I've been w/ a huge stomach for many, many years, and then the loose skin was horrible. I am still amazed to have a flat stomach.
