Monday Morning Weigh-Ins

Good Monday Morning, My January Lovelies!

This message is coming to you from hot, sticky, summery California....where it will be a balmy 103〫today. Tommorrow? Finally under 100〫after many, many days of 100+ weather. Aren't you jealous of this sucky weather?

So, now that the weather is out of the way...on with the weigh-ins:

Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 139.2
Today: 139.4...though I suspect it is really a bit lower since I am bloated and popping Midol like it's candy.

I had a good weekend, followed by a sad morning today...my little one, Piper, is off on her first day of second grade. I miss her already. But, it will be good to have her busy again....she's "so bored, Mom!" all. summer. long. Thank goodness for year-round school.

So, make it a great week ladies, and check in to tell us how you are doing. We'd love to hear from you....last week's influx of new-old faces was awesome!!!

Having to gain weight is sooo hard once we work so hard to lose it in the first place. I know how this feels...and I am going to have to gain a few pounds back, as well, once I am able to have plastics. I will just be too skinny once all this skin is gone!

Hang in there!

Hello ladies-
Gosh- having to gain weight?
wow- haven't been there... would be nice for a change!!!  :)
 HW- 250
LW- 127
TW- 127
Was at 126 most of the week but had a very bad sunday and ate like it was the week before my surgery... hence the gain... I just thank god it was a day and not a week!!!!
Am doing well with working out... my body fat percentage is a pretty consistent 25-26%.  I'm really liking the working out- I skip sat and sun for a break.
I could really use some plastics too- just too expensive... my stomach isn't pretty!!!
Have a good week!!!

I am a firm believer in having a pig-out day once in a while....at least it keeps me in check the majority of the time.

Looks like you are just about where you like to be with your weight, aren't you? My body fat is just about where you are, too. I just want this skin gone.

Is there a "just where you like to be" when it comes to weight?  I know you've found it- but I never seem to find it!!!  :0
I'd really like to lose another 5 pounds- but then not anymore... me in the teens looks kinda bad- like I'm trying too hard.
I've had some changes here at home recently and am trying very hard not to deal with stress by overeating- don't want any of those bad old habits returning.
Take Care-
Brit

Oh, Brit...I know all about the home stuff affecting how I eat. Though, lately, I tend to sway toward not eating enough rather than too much. Either way is bad news for us, I'm afraid. I truly wish you peace with your situation.

I think I look and feel best at right around 140. But...my logical brain tells me that. My illogical, gotta-see-smaller-numbers brain tells me to keep losing. I can easily lose if I get into that frame of mind...it's just not good for me to do so.

I know I will feel infinitely better once I can get this skin off of me. It makes me feel frumpy, old, and chubby. That's really hard to mentally deal with when I know my body is quite small under the rolls. Right now I am just trying to stay at the weight I know is best for me and that doesn't draw negative reactions from others....sometimes they can see what I can't see anymore.
