Monday Morning Weigh-ins

Hi Ladies - I'm here as well. I don't post too much either,but I do read alot. I haven't been doing weigh in's lately because I have'nt changed - I bounce between 153 - 155. I'm happy here and i'm not trying to lose more. However, I started to work out this past weekend and I found that I dropped to 150. Now I know that it's not much, but I did scare me a little. I really don't want to go much lower. So now I'm afraid to work out for fear of losing more weight? How crazy is that.... It could be a fluke thing I know so I will have to see what happens in the future. I also can't figure out that when it's that TOM for me I always drop 3 - 5 pounds - we usually gain at that time - go figure. I completely understand everyone's fear of gaining back, because I freak out about it as well. I guess it is that old head game that we all still have to figure out how to deal with. thankfully we all have each other here that are going thru the same issues. hope everyone has a great week - Marta

HW 327 SW 322 LW 171.2 CW 172.4 man, yesterday was hectic...this is the first time I believe I did not post my weekly weight before the end of Monday!! Wowsers!! oh well....see ya next week.

Guess I am late.....I want to post more but forget more often than not.... My original weight was 267, I got down to 144 but was very sick. I ended up have an obstruction and had to have emergency surgery in October. 2 and a half feet of my small intestine was being strangled by scar tissue. This has since been resolved. I have since gained and now I am struggling with 164-168. I want to get down to 150 and will be successful and happy with that. I am fighting the erge to eat the foods we are supposed to avoid. I am having issues with my sugar levels and have an appointment to see a diabetic doctor. I forget what the name of the department is. My sugars rise to 200 and then drip within 15 minutes to 40 and it makes me very ill. Some of the side effects are craving anything with sugar. You get the shakes really bad and until you increase your levels you feel so sick and weak. I bought glucose pills *sugar pills* to take when this happens instead of eating something high in sugar. I have 18 pounds to lose and to stay with that weight. I have a YMCA membership, I just need to make it to the Y. If some of you wouldn't mind giving me some encouraging words I would much appriciate them. Thanks to all and good luck with everything! Love, Laura

Laura- I just joined the Y and if you can just get into a pattern of going- some kind of a schedule- it seems to be much easier to maintain. Is there a particular class that you like or a friend that you can meet there? Those have also been motivators to me. Look at all the weight you have lost and kept off. You are a HUGE success- you can do this- hang in there!!! Posting every Monday has really helped to keep me on track- hope to see you there... Holly
