Friday Weigh-In

Aghhhhhhhhh.............I'm soooooooooo frustrated (can you tell?????) No weight loss AGAIN this week. In the last 2 months I've lost 11 lbs total. Glad it's lost, don't want to go back there, but wi**** was more. Last week - 215lbs This week - 215lbs Total loss - 51lbs I want to hear all your losses to cheer me up

I am feeling your pain! I've hardly lose anything the last couple weeks. But, as of this morning, I'm back under 200, so I can't complain too much. Last week - 204 This week - 198 Total loss for week - 5 pounds Total loss - 69 pounds Don't get down on yourself. This is the first time the scale has really moved for me in like 3 weeks. Have a great weekend!!

Last Saturday (Oct 14) 248.5 This Friday (Oct 20) 248.0 Not much progress since last week!! Weight at WLS: 357.4 Todays weight: 248.0 Total weight loss: 109.4 lbs...today I am 5.5 months post-op.

Last week - 179lbs This week - 174lbs Total loss - 101lbs I finally made it to the century club 'officially' my highest weight was 285 in 2001, but I lost 40 lbs on my own, and gained back 30, so my official starting point was 275 in March 2006. I am not sure if I was more jazzed about the century club when I 'quietly' hit the 100 mark at 185 or today at 174. either way, it is a lot of change for me. had a guy that is friends with my dh come over last night, he was talking about his weight loss (he has lost 20 lbs) and how he could relate to mine, being cold and whatnot without the extra lbs for insulation. I was 'very understanding' but in my head, I was thinking. 'bubba, you do not know squat about being cold, I am standing in houston texas with a wool sweater on that I bought in norway to keep from freezing to death, and your still packing an extra 60 lbs to keep your fanny warm) but I just smiled and nodded. he was so proud of himself for eating 1000 calories a day on his diet. he audiably gasped when I explained that I was eating 6 oz a day and 400 calories. he obviously was not ready for THAT kind of commitment.

Wow - kudos to him - a 1000 calorie a day diet without WLS surgery seems very disciplined and maybe even a little too restricted!! I am eating more then that after WLS - my nut wanted me on 1100 at my 3 mo appointment. I guess I wouldn't be able to hack the 400 a day either!! I've already had 400 today and it's not even noon yet...

what I really applauded him for was that he is bike riding every day. my husband has been for 3 years now, and got him to start, it is really really great that they ride, they even ride on saturdays about 60 miles. I am thrilled that he is trying to get healthy.

60 MILES!!! Oy vey - I bet I have logged that on my bike in it's whole lifetime!!! That is FAB!!!!! That almost makes me want to go downstairs and ride my stationary bike.....almost. He he!!!!

Ruth - I also am frustrated!!! I think I have only lost about 5 lbs this past month. Last week - 188 This week - 188 Week before 188 HELP!!! Sorry I could not cheer you up!! Love, Hugs and Prayers, Darlene
