Sunday Weigh In

I remember the days I couldn't wait to wake up so I could jump on my scale and see the daily weight loss. How I miss those days! No weight loss for me this week. I am so hoping I will see a loss next week. 2 months have gone by and I have not made any progress. Inches have been lost, but I NEED to see the numbers get smaller. DOS 345 Today 206 139 pounds lost And how was your week?? Shar

sigh...Shar, I am so with you. In the last few months I've not lost much but I too lost inches. While that's great, I am feeling destined to being 200-ish pounds for the rest of my life. I saw that 199 so briefly for a few days off an on. And now it's off again, I am 202 this morning. Bah. Highest 322 DOS 309 Today 202 123 down, 59 to go and go and go. My one year appt is 5/19 (they've been behind by 2 weeks since my one month appointment, lol, i'm such rebel). I desperately want to be down at least 125 by then and below 200. Is this too much to ask of my body to do after all theses months... Inky

My weight is finally stablizing. I went from a low of 163 all the way up to 168-in 5 days. I just kept on track and am back down to goal. Not sure what was causing me to retain water but I have been dealing with arm problems and finally had it injected thursday. What a pain! We had beautiful weather yesterday and got a bunch of outside home projects done. Still is something to me that I can spend most of the day outside and still feel like I need to do more. I have my one year appointment this thursday on my surgiversary. I did find out my Blood pressure is down to 110/60-yeah!!!!! SW 282lbs CW 165lbs Total freedom-priceless! Total gone-117lbs. Hanging onto goal....

Was told u can hold alot of fluid /swelling in surrounding tissues when u hurt your shoulder. My PT told me that is one of the reason I have limted mobility in my arms is due to alot of swelling in the tissues and he said not uncommon to hold a gallon worth on swelling after surgery. No wonder I gained 10 lbs so fast after surgery Lisa

Oh, Inky!!!!!!!!! Let's lament together!

Yep Shar! Me too! Down ONE pound this week from the past COUPLE of weeks. Ughhh, VERY frustrating until I look back at where I was one year ago! BS-304 DOS-300 Today- 193 Down 111 pounds! Pam T

Pam. I think we lose sight of just where we were a year ago. I know I have to keep that in mind in order the get through the major stall. Thanks for reminding me Shar

Up 1# again this week - ugh. Low of 120.8 2 weeks ago to 123.8 today. Still this is below intial goal, but 3.8 # above second goal of 120. Oh well. Still rather frustrating...no one likes to gain weight... I have not changed anything in my diet or exercise to contribute to this (as far as I know!) Good luck all! Dianne

Checking in .. a small loss this week but i will take it -1 lb I did start back to exercise hit gym 4 times this week and been watching my calories like a hawk.. aunt flow is due and I usually gain weight so this maybe a good sign but i will say this softly not to jinx myself.. Shar I know the mind goes bonkers when it does not budge for weeks.. I had to watch what I really was eating and u know I was eating more than I thought dense calories were my enemy u know a choc kissie here a cheetos here a cookie here.. little more food here adds up to like 300 to 500 calories Absent mind eating was another problem. Then no exercise no wonder I am not losing .. I am due for tighting soon.. and man do I need it I feel hungry grrrrrrrrrrrrrr and when I am hungry I have no will power Stats 295 hw Day of surgery 250 205 Today 90lbs gone forever QUESTION Hows everyone hunger Going? Hope all of u have a awesome weight loss week Lisa

Lisa, I seem to have a lot of hunger. Have you noticed that in your avatar picture, the glass on the doors behind you , appear like angel's wings?? I think that's a cool sign. Shar
