Monday Morning Weigh-Ins

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies!
Okay...so I am really posting this late Sunday night, but I want to make sure that it gets posted. I am so used to the accountability factor of this tread, not to mention simply the habit, that I can't imagine not posting to it every week...so here goes:

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 138.8
Today(late Sunday): 141.1 (up because of TTOTM :x)

So, some interesting news...I am somehow down into a 2 in some casual, khaki-type pants that were a 4 a few months ago. I am perplexed because I haven't lost any weight and I don't seem to feel any differently, at least not that I can tell. Weird. I haven't been shopping for jeans lately, but I do need to go. I guess I'll see if those sizes have changed, as well...and it is likely since my jeans all seem a bit baggy.
Anyway, off to study for my Poli Sci final...last test for my last class to graduate with my AS!!!!!! Yay me!!!!

Make it a great week ladies!! And post those numbers...after almost 2 years, it's no time to stop being accountable!!

CONGRATS SUZ~

That's awesome....

I haven't been on here in AGES... I've been so busy... But happy to say I'm pretty much the same weight as I was a month ago..

HW 292
SW 282
CW140

Still maintaining almost a year now....  Today's weight was 140lbs, I just juggle 5lbs.. never anymore or less.

Someday's I feel like I eat constantly.. and someday's not the right stuff. I'm lucky I don't really watch what I eat.. I still weigh every morning, that keeps me accountable, I guess.

I can NOT beleive its been 2 years!!! 

My goal from the get go was NOT to look like I had WLS... cause some people look ill, etc. The other day a NEW doctor came into ER and was taking care of a sick gastric bypass patient in ER and I made the comment "I'm glad that's NOT me" I felt really bad for her. He comes up to me and says "wow Stacey, I would have NEVER guessed you had WLS"   So needless to say  I MET MY GOAL!

Everyone I hope you have HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Wow, Stacy! I am so relieved to hear that you are doing well and out living a normal kind of life now that nearly two years has passed...that's what I have always strived to do, as well. Strangely enough, I often feel a little guilty that I can do that now. I don't count every calorie or carb or fat...nothing really except a loose protein count. I still weigh in every morning, and I also think it keeps me accountable and honest with myself. Can't argue with the cold honesty of the scale, right?

Funny Suz~  You say you feel quilty... cause somewhat I do too! I dont really watch what I eat and I don't understand the gaining part.. Maybe someday now that Im talking about it will hit me. ha ha

I do weigh everyday though, if I EVER go over 5lbs, Im back to basics that's all that's to it!

I feel bad for people that are struggling... wish I could help them, it was easy for me... BUT I have to say I've had my share of other things.. like two hernias repairs.

That just goes to show us how different everyone is.. Right?

I posted a question a few threads back...a week or so ago? Anyway, I asked those who are struggling with gain what they thought the reason was. If I recall correctly, only Stephanie stepped up to talk openly about it. She basically summed it up to binging on her part and making choices of sweets in too great quantities.

I don't really identify with the struggle yet...and I sure hope that I never do! But, I am mindful of the slippery slope that we reside on. I really want to look back another two years from now and say that I have easily maintained....but then again, who doesn't?

Hey guys!!!
Am still struggling with eating the wrong things - but have been much better about exercise this week.  I can't believe I am going to Cabo at this weight- a full 15 pounds over what I was last year- okay, maybe 10... I've still got a week right?  :)

SW- 250
Lowest W- 124
Current W- 139

I'm glad you guys are maintaining so well... I wish I had your jeans problem Suz-
Nothing fits me- my muffin top is as big as ever- not sure what's going on...
Never really wanted a tummy tuc****il now...

Thanks for postingthis thread  Suz and good-luck on your last exam!!!  :)

How are you feeling Stacey???? 

I had the hardest time getting here. I had to go to my old posts to even get to this message board. Anyone else having the same problems? 

My stats are pretty much the same anywhere from 119-122. I miss everyone here and hope to be back more often in the future.

Suz, weren't you supposed to hear if you were accepted into the nursing program? Hope to hear you were! WOOHooo for size 2!

Yep, I heard back a couple of weeks ago. I was denied for both programs for the spring semester. I have another test to take in mid-January that will allow me to apply to a third program for the fall of '09, in addition to re-applying to the original two programs.

As for getting to this board...what seems to be the problem? Did you go under "forums" to the bottom where it says "surgery dates"? I just have it bookmarked for this forum anyway, so no problems here.

OMG- Suz
I'm shocked!!!  That just goes to tell you what high demand these nursing programs are in!!!
I think you would be a fabulous nurse- so here's to the third program!!!
I've been thinking of you...
by now you have finished your last final and are done with your degree...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
