Sunday Weigh In
Good morning everyone,
Well, it seems these weigh ins are getting less and less response. But, we will NOT give up on them. Even if you don't have a weight loss, which most of us are not having, just check in with us and let us know you are OK. We love to hear from everyone.
I have not lost an ounce in 8 months and struggle to stay where I'm at. I want to lose another 25 pounds, then have the other 20 cut off. If I ever heard of anyone who wanted to lose ONLY 25 pounds before, I thought they were skinny and had nothing to complain about. 25 pounds, compared to 200, seemed like nothing to me. But, not now,,,,,it seems just as insurmountable as losing 200! How our perspective changes.
DOD 345
Now 190-193
And how was your week?

Hi Shar and all the A-Team,
I hope that today finds you all well and doing the best you can. As for me, my house has been filled with the flu plague since last Sunday. Hubby brought it home and was only sick a couple of days, but i have been down for the count since Wednesday and still feeling poorly, but at least I can sit up and walk around today (so far).
Perspective. That is a good topic, Shar. I updated my ticker today, having lost seven pounds since the early part of February. I don't doubt a good portion of that weight loss was being sick this week, but no matter, i promised myself I would only weigh in once a month and there you have it. But I "only" have to lose 21 pounds. And I bet at least 10 is my hanging belly, the only part of my body I really hate. I can live with bat wings and saggy boobs, and my thighs aren't terribly frightful, but my pooch keeps me in size 14 pants. I'm too scared for a tummy tuck just yet, maybe next year as a 50th birthday present, who knows with the economy.
But yes, I used to think "only" 20 pounds seemed stupidly easy to do. Now I know how hard it can be for anyone to just lose 5 pounds, a couple pounds, 100 or more pounds. I ran into a woman the other day that only realized who I was by recognizing my husband. That was very bizarre.
So, what's my perspective now? That I am a GREAT SUCCESS. Yes, there I said it. I have felt so down on myself lately. Lately as in the last 8 or 9 months, but now I've decided that what I have done, what we have done, is all remarkable and even though we may not have all reached our goals, and may need surgery to do it, we are remarkable and amazing people and we deserve to be happy. We need to enjoy the moment while we work to the goal, and revel in the things we have accomplished.
So my request to all of you is keep your perspective - remember where you came from when you forget where you are. remember how hard it's been, but how rewarding and challenging too, and the new friends you have made along the way.
love you guys and have a good week!

Good afternoon everyone! It is absolutely beautiful outside today! Great day for a walk! The temp is 81 and sunny!
I also have not lost hardly anything to speak of since month 9! Yes, I said 9. I am still wanting to loose another 20 lbs....it will come 1 pound at a time for me! I also have a saggy belly, well it is not saggy it is more like cheesy! No way i am going to have tummy tuck, I am way to chicken. Imagine, I can go and have my stomach cut wide open for RNY but not for TT. It aint happening! Besides, I was self pay with the RNY and I can handle a little giggle here and there as long as the weight stays off!
This week I am going to have the test done to tell me how many calories I need to consume to maintain my weight. I am hoping this will give me some indication on how many I can eat and still loose. Progress....not perfection! (yet)
Have a great week!

Hi everyone,
Weigh ins are so important because they serve as be accountiable to the weight u are at and even if u don't lose another pound at least u will not get so bad out of control u r back where u started.I have started back to the gym yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I been really pigging out and don't get it I lose weight? I have no idea what my body is doing. Will probally show up next week as a gain, I ate girl Scout cookies and hubby is gone to alaska and left me with a house full of teenager boys. Fired the housekeeper to save money. Now I know why in the animal kingdon they eat their young. And aunt flo arrived,.. I defy logic lol I AM SO TIRED OF EATING RIGHT I hope this is just a phase not my future eating habbits time to get back on track. This is stress and I think I GET IT.. I HAD TO SEE IT WRITTEN DOWN. I AM STRESSED TO MAX AND IT SHOWS

Hiya A Team;
My weight is still up. I figured out that it all went to my boobs! Everything fits the same but the girls all of a sudden got less deflated. Hubby likes it. I must have some kind of weird hormonal thing going on.
My Grandbaby came up and played with me yesterday. The sun has finally been shining and so my mood has been rising. Vitamin D and happiness make for the best anti-depressant in the whole world.
I cannot be freaked out by weight being up-I know I am not out of control.
Stay strong-I agree with Inky- we are ALL successes. Have a great week!

PS All this sunshine blowing out my a$$ makes me a bit ill also.

Hi A team!
Didn't weigh in this week I just don't feel as quick to jump on it! Fighting with the husband I think we both admitted we are together for the kids and that is hard and sad to admit. I love my husband but I feel like when I gained all the weight he changed how he looked at me and treated me and now that I lost the weight I have this anger because of that. I do love him but I hate the fighting every single day it is slowly killing me and who I am. It is killing our kids and I hurt inside because of it.
I have this terrible resentment and I just can't seem to get pass that. I am so sick of feeling.
I will weigh in next sunday and see where I stand
