Sunday Weigh-in

*warning* whining post...Oh, this is so depressing. All of you are doing so well, and I have yet another week with no weight loss at all. I'm freaking out that I've lost my window of opportunity and am done losing. I still have 49 lbs to goal and I'm worried that this is it for me. Sigh. For my height and weight I should be able to lose weight on anything less than 1600 calories a day, so I have no idea what's going on.

OK well you are not the only one and you know what.....most of the A-team if you look back they are not posting......well I have been stuck and I have 55 more to go but you know what I think it might have something to do with all the skin....I can grab and pull every where and it pulls out like 5 inches....so Hang in there but someone else told me it would be like this...in time you will lose again....Just keep it up...

Hi A Team! I had another good week. I need to also get on the exercise bandwagon-with the weather so bad I have been slacking. I like to get outside and see the sites-I just cannot get into working at a gym or on a treadmill. I have been working with an ulcer lately, trying to get that calmed down. Had a BAD flare up this weekend. Yuck! Weight loss for week was 1 pound exactly. Didn't think it was going to happen. Weight loss comes in fits and spurts these days. I encourage all A-teamers to still join in-even if things are not going well-accountibility is one of our success habits and just having a check in helps keep me grounded. SW 282 CW 175 Total loss; 107. Whoooopppppeeeee! 10 lbs to goal.

Thanks Crystal-you are so kind!

We are all struggling,,,,,,,but at least we are struggling together. We can, and will, get through this. The weight loss may be slow, or even nonexistent, but it's gotta happen. Don't give up and let's all try to be so thankful for the greatness we have already accomplished.

HI all! I have been really busy but found the time to work out 3 times this week (that is my current goal, although with all the loose skin and flab, it should be more.) I do find myself snacking on wheat thins and that is not good. Munchies have returned! AHHHH! I can't seem to stop myself from getting a handful every time I go near the kitchen pantry! BBAAADDD habit. That is what got me into trouble in the first place. PREop 243+ DOS 220 Last week 133.4 Today 132.2 (lost ~1# for the week, which is awesome...since I had not lost last week.) My doc thought I would be at goal by Jan 1. Close, but not quite. 2.2 # till GOAL! But, I may need to lower this as I am short and still pretty flabby and have some excess baggage around. I am fitting in a size 8 jeans but they are TIGHT in the belly area. (These are jeans from COLLEGE! OVER 20 YEARS ago! Yes, I kept a pair of my SKINNY jeans to show my kids that I was once thinner. I just can't believe I now fit in them!) Sign me "struggling not to return to old bad habits" and trying to start healthier habits for the new year!
