Friday Weigh In!

So how did you do over Christmas??? Me? Last week 224 This week 222.8 So that's -1.2 over Christmas. Now I would probably be a little disappointed with a 1 pound loss on a normal week, but this is AWESOME. I usally gain 5 or even 10 pounds the week of Christmas. Now my next big challenge will be New Year's. We always have lots of family over with LOTS of yummy foods ALL NIGHT! and then a huge meal New Year's Day. But after making it through Christmas I'm not as anxious as I was. Preop 332 Surgery 328 Today 222.8 Total Loss = 109.2

I just looked on last week's weigh in post and realized that I was 225 last Fri. Soooo that's actually 2.2 pounds gone this week. The 224 was what I weighed before I went to my grandparents on Christmas Eve. I don't think I'll wipe this smile off ALL day. Last week 225 This week 222.8 Loss = -2.2 Mandy

Great job, Mandy! You did really well! Here's mine: Weight before surgery: 307.25 Last week: 186.50 This week: 185.25 Lost this week: 1.25 Total loss: 122.00 pounds! Hurray! Deanna

Its just amazing....no weight gain during a holiday....hmmmmmm cant even fathom the last time that happened. Christmas was actually easier than Thanksgiving...I wonder if they all get easier. I am eating to live not living to eat. Happy New Year everyone!!!!! Kel

Last week ~ 165 This week ~ 165 Total loss ~ Still 100lbs Well, I guess at least I didn't gain!

Pre-op weight: 322 Last Wednesday: 260 Yesterday: 257 Total Loss = 65 lbs My weight loss journey has not been like many of you (rapid) but it has been just that MY journey. I haven't been posting on the weigh in threads because my weight didn't seem significant. But after talking to my surgeon (did not go to 6 mos check up until this month, because I felt so insecure about my weight) I felt better about my journey and I am proud of my 65 lb weight loss. Take care everyone and have a great and safe New Year. I look forward to another great year. Phenom

Thank you! You have brightened up my day just now. I have been feeling like a failure because I haven't been doing as well as I should and feel like I should've lost more but you're 150% correct - I AM PROUD OF MY WEIGHT LOSS! Thank you for bringing me back to reality - I really needed it! I have never posted here before but it's been very helpful to me. Congrats to you! Doesn't it feel amazing to be in the 200s?
