Weekly Weigh In

Hi All How has your week gone? I'm still playing around with the same numbers on the scale - It's a vicious circle for me - I'm eating fine and dandy, then the numbers get stuck so I start eating crap...so of course then the numbers get stuck!!! Grrrrr.... so this coming week I'm going to try and break the circle - plus I'm back to work after the summer break so will be back into routine again, which should help. Anyway, here are my details: Start Weight: 266 This Week: 169 Total Loss: 97 Next Goal: lose 3 pounds (166 - to have lost 100 pounds) Next Goal: get to 154 - a normal bmi I SO want to get into the century club, I've been knocking on the door for months now Patience is a virtue I guess - I'm NOT stopping til I get there

Start Weight: 285 This Week: 150 Total Loss: 135 Next Goal: lose 5 pounds, back down to my adjusted goal weight I am bouncing and that sucks. okay, so I am at 150 which was my original goal weight before surgery but when I got down to 143 I adjusted my goal weight to 145 and bought all my clothes for that weight. well. they are starting to get a little snug, some are downright unpleasant but I think that was a washing machine error on my part. now I want to get back to 145 not up here at 150 my 'high end' aunt flo weight when aunt flo is no where around. I know what happened.. Doritoes, Reece's and extra large servings and extra snacks through the day. that adage if you take in more calories, your body will start loosing is a MYTH and not a good recommendation for me. I can have a protein bar or food, but not both. ;) and those 330 super charge protein bars with 30 g of protein are not worth the 110 extra calories. blech so one 150 cal 20 g protein bar a day is my limit. and definitely M O R E W A T E R!!

Yep Protein drinks do that for me aswell - protein drink or food - I can't do both either as my body seems to suck in those extra calories

Keep going Ruth!!!!!!!!!! You will do fine!!!!!!!!!!! the century club is so close!!! starting weight 283 current weight 139 loss this week 1lb for a total loss of 144lbs and a BMI of 23 yipppppppppyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hi Ruth! I feel your pain ... I have been stuck for 3 months now and I'm about to go insane! My weight has bounced between 163 and 167 during that time and the sad thing is that I know I'm eating below the calories my Nut. told me and I'm exercising very hard 5 days a week. It makes me MAD! Why isn't the scale moving??? It's so frustrating and it makes me want to give up exercising so hard. Ugh! It's a vicious cycle! Deanna

Hi Deanna your weight is mostly muscle. {you are not a fat girl anymore} {your are an athlete} {very very cool} with all you exercise... your body will hold on to the weight because you work out so much and your body needs the calories you eat to survive and to build the muscle... if you really want the pounds to go down ...don't work out so much.. then you body will let go of the pounds. otherwise, be very proud of all you have done and what a great athlete you are becoming. your friend Jean

Starting weight- 264 Last week- 121 This week- 122 goal- learning how to maintenance now.. 4 weeks without loosing below 120 do I am happy with that. up one pound this week but its that time of the month. Congrats everyone on all your success.. remember it not all about loosing but staying where you want to be...

Glad to see your maintaining ! up one pound should not be too bad for you... you are perfect! and a great example for others who have had the surgery!
