Sunday Weigh In

Good morning everyone. It is still freezing in Chicago and I am so ready for this to be over. But, Mother Nature doesn't really give a damn about what I want! I ma holding steady at my weight. I did not graze too much this week and seem to be getting that under control. I know I am not getting in enough protein, and that is my goal this week. I usually drink an AchievOne every morning for a 20 gram boost of protein. It is the only drink I can tolerate. I haven't had it for months and they won't be available again until March. But, I will try to eat more protein,

And how was your week?

Shar

Well I am still on the weight roller coaster. Last week, up 4 lbs, this week down 3 lbs.
We finally got some rain this week. Not enough-we are still in a severe drought but every little bit helps!
I am still fighting the blues. Good days and bad days.
Have a great week A Team!

Hello Ateam
Well lets see here I go again so you have been warned!
I have gained 6 pounds since my last visit to my doctor. He say I am eating too much. I need to exercise more and more protien.
I have not had my protien in a couple months and I am def seeing the results. I will have some money next week and then I will buy 4 tubs of protien!

I am back in school and I took a gym class so at least 3 times a week I will be working out at school. Everyday I have class I will also workout before class..

I realize I have a drinking promblem I drink a bottle of vodka and a gallon of crystal light on the weekends.... I have stopped that, but so far it has only been a week. I think my weight gain is from my drinking  and not over eating, but I was too ashamed to let my dr know that.  Instead i let him belive I am eating alot again uggg.

I am out of my depression medicine and can't afford to buy refill it right now and feel pretty ****ty with that as well.

I had all these plans with my over payment to my surgeon but that will not happen.
I found out that the price I was quoted was for the hernia repair, but because he had to use mesh that is an additional 2200.00 so I actually owe him 770.

I bet sometimes you guys wish I would not post my long storys but this is where I vent and try to be accountable.

I will lose those 6 pounds by my 2 year appointment no doubt about it!! I can not fail again!!

Dee,
Actually,I wish you would post more often! We are all here for you. We love and care about you and you need to really believe that. You are not a failure....you are a success. We will always have setbacks in our lives. The important thing is to realize what the problem is and then find a solution. It seems to me that you have done both. Now, you must execute the plan....and you will. I, for one, will always be right behind you, cheering you all the way.
As for the extra $2200.....why didn't they tell you that in the first place? It seems a bit extreme, but,what do I know! Have a good week, my friend, and let us know, even on a daily basis, how you are doing.

You are in the right place and all of us demends we all must deal with. I have Dissociative identity disorder (DID). Trust me I do understand probally more than most people where u r comming from  and I am the least to judge anyone here. I think we all are pretty close in here. I feel safe comming in here and do not feel anyone will think any less of me because I have DID. I think sometimes my hubby wished he had a wife that was manic depressant sometimes. He wishes it was matter of U know take a pill and chill but I married a saint and talking about a good man. I live thinking I am not worthy enought to be with a good man,I fight this self distructive person in me,
Dee I would appeal to your insurence company about having the mesh and see if they will cover it. Also appeal to the hospital for undue hardship to see if they can reflect some of the hospital cost.
Ok back to weigh in
Well I am up a pound 170. Still not able to exercise. But I am feeling better and stronger each day and not stressing over a few pounds. I have been craving sugar for some odd reason this week I have been awful  with food I think because I felt like crap  or so long I just wanted comfort food.
Well new week and gonna try get back on program.Gonna be a hard week for me as I turn 50 on Jan 29 and my family does nothing to help with self esteem when it comes it getting old. I really hope they don't do the over hill theme as for me it is really bothers me getting old.I feel like a old hag and look  like one,So wish me luck with my family,
Lisa

Hello Everyone!
Its my 2nd round of atibiotics and I just feel yucky! I thought it was sinus but boy, was I wrong! If I could just ditch this fever I would feel better!
This week held steady...which is what I do NOT want to hear! The guys moved my treadmill back where I can use it again....OOoops...no more excuses! I also am trying to up my protein...I am drinking the protein bullets again (I missed them). Grazing....much better this week!
Shar, What flavors do the AchieveOne drinks come in and why are they not availiable? For 20gr of protien I think I might try them. I also am so picky about my drinks. Most of the time I would just rather drink tea or water than to try new stuff!
I have started wearing scarves and when I go outside, I drape them around the front of my neck and over my mouth...it helps to keep me from being so cold. I NEVER thought I would be complaining about being to cold! It still beats being too fat!


DOS 289
Today 177.7

Hi Everyone,

Well, i jumped on the scale this morning and I am down another 5lbs!!! I was shocked. I guess my stall is offically over. I have been excerising more and actually last weekend I did alot of "spring" cleaning which I am sure helped. I have also reduced the amount of food I was eating. I think I was doing too much grazing. So now I am 5lbs from goal and very excited. I am looking into having plastic surgery hopefully sometime in March if things go as planned. I am very, very excited for that.

Highest: 347
Today: 155

 

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but weekends are always sooo busy and choatic at my house. However, I did jump on the scale yesterday and I'm happy to say I'm down 2 pounds! I'm slowly working those extra 5 pounds I gained over the holidays off! My first goal is to lose those extra 5 which will put me back at goal weigh (135) then I want to try to lose another 5. My new goal weight is to be 130. My biggest problem is NO EXERCISE! I need to get movin but I just can't seem to get motivated to do anything. I've been looking into some hip-hop dance workout videos cause I think those would be fun and not feel too much like exercise. I'm just trying to find a good one right now and when I do I will buy it and give it a shot.

DOS: 247
Now: 138
Goal: 130

Only 8 more pounds to go!!!!!
