SUNDAY WEIGH IN

Well, this has been a very depressing week for me. Last Sunday I weighed 206. The following day I weighed 212. To quote Nancy Kerrigan.."Why? Why? Why?" The weight has not come off during the week! I know it can't be fat....no way did I consume 22,000 calories in one day. Water weight? Could be. Then why is it still here? Is this a sign for heaven? Is my journey ending here? I certainly hope not. I hope next week I have better news. How was your week??? Shar

Hey Shar, I think we have all gotten to that place in our journey where there are new bumps in the road. Sometime in December I weighed in at 197, then somehow I went back up to 212. I was quite annoyed with myself. I blamed the holidays. Now I am back down to 206. I am still annoyed with myself. I really was hoping to be under 200 when I finally leveled off. I don't know that will ever happen as I really do think that I have plateaued where I am at. I am not completely unhappy with the way things turned out. I am much healthier than I was when this journey began. i have lost almost 150 pounds. I do have the thought in my mind that once spring comes I will get back out there and hopefully be able to lose another 20 or thirty pounds. I can admit that I would not be doing many of the things that I do if I had not lost the weight. I am a student once again, I volunteered to coach softball with my daughter's team. My bicycle and I are once again on speaking terms and I do hope that we can mend fences and become friends again once the weather breaks. Basically what I am saying is that you are not alone. Don't be depressed! Look at all the stuff you can do this year that you never would have thought about last year. Then you have plenty of things to be proud of!! We all do. As a team we have been very successful, regardless of the ups and downs (that are a part of life) we have persevered and succeeded. We will continue to persevere and we continue to have ups and downs, but no matter where we end up, we are all a success story! Each and everyone of us is a winner because we became a GREAT BUNCH OF LOSERS!

Shar, I am in the club. I was within 3 lbs of goal and then BOOM! This morning I am up 2 lbs. Oh, it makes life interesting. However, I spent yesterday visting and kissing on my grandbaby-so life is still GOOD!

Sharra, You look far too young to be a grandma Have a good week

Marla, you're right.we are ll winners. So nice to see you here again

Hi A-team! I haven't posted for a Sunday weigh in for a long time. Why, I don't know. I still read it every week and enjoy seeing how everyone is doing. I have been riding an emotional rollercoaster since the holidays. I am very happy with my weightloss and I physically I feel much better. But lately I have also been very depressed . I miss my best friend. FOOD!!!! I have stopped counting calories, liquids and proteins. Dense proteins caouse me to get very sick so I am staying away from them. I almost never excerise. I don't think that I am overeating. I need a real kick in the ass. I have lost 130 lbs since April 13, 2007, but it has come to a screeching hault. I am starting counseling next week to see if maybe deep inside I'm trying to screw this up. Good luck to all and I hope you have a great week! Heres my stats: HW: 300 PRE-OP: 290 DOS: 280 CW: 170 Joni

Joni, I know you can get back on track. We are all here to support you

Shar, I love your Nancy Kerrigan quote! Last weekend I saw "Tonya and Nancy: The Rock Opera" here in Portland, where Tonya is from. It was very campy and a lot of fun. Anyway, I had gone up to 189 from 183, and this week lost a lb a day and am now at 184. I'm happy to see I'm not alone in the struggle. We can do it!

Maybe it's the time that we all gain a bit. We just have to hang in together.

I dont know why I didnt weigh in last Sunday? I have been sick with this stinking flu crap. I thought it was gone and now it is coming back again!!! I got it in my chest really bad Highest: 276 DOS: 263 2 weeks ago: 137 Today: 134.5 That is a loss of 2.5 lbs in 2 weeks I am down 141.5 lbs, 15.5 lbs below my goal. Good luck to everyone this week. If anyone has an update on Allie, I would love to hear it. I am very worried about her. Cindy
