1st monthly weigh in

Ok we are going to start this monthly weigh in. I will try to chart on paper and then post or email it to everyone. Please list your email if you can. If you can't calculate current BMI use this page, http://www.thinnerself.com/files/Expect_Chart.htm If anyone knows how to spreadsheet and do this with averages, I would love you!!!!

Jen Halliday email: [email protected] Height: 5'3" Starting Weight: 321 Current Weight: 288 Goal Weight: Surgeon's goal: 197, Personal Goal: 170, but I just want to be healthy Starting BMI: 59 Current BMI: 51 Surgery Date: 2/22/06 How far out: 5 weeks and 3 days Average Protein Intake: Oh, this is one area that I struggle in, but my nutritionist says that it's okay to build up to 80 g. I usually get anywhere from 25-45 g a day. Not too bad! Average Fluid Intake: I LOVE water....was 20 oz per day, now about 32 to 48 oz per day, with a goal of 64 oz per day. Before surgery, I used to drink 3 or 4 liters a day, sometimes more, but I moved around a lot and sweat it off! Can't Eat: Nothing, praise God! I did, however, vomit on 4 shrimp with butter and garlic. That was b/c I ate too much, though! Apparently, next time I will eat only 2. Any weight stalls: Last week I stayed at 292 for the longest time. Gained 2 pounds due to my monthly and then lost 6 pounds this week. Not too shabby and I'm on the road to losing again!!
