Sunday Weigh In

Sunday already and nearing the New Year! I have to say, I am glad the holidays are about over. Wheweeeeee what hustle and bustle! Hottie man husband & I are down home in WV to celebrate the festivities with friends. Hope all my OH friends have a wonderful 2008!! Pre-op = 259 Last week = 180 1 hr. ago = 179

Hello everyone.....Thank gosh Chrsitmas is over and New Years is just around the corner. Found out the hard way that I can not drink alcohol!!!!! VERY miserable after just two drinks!!!! Highest 262 Surgery 258 This week 176.5 Total loss 85.5 Not losing really anything at this point....but bought a new treadmill and am putting it together today so heres to a great New Year with the scale drop, drop, dropping!!!!! Next goal is to be "overweight" only 7.5 more pounds to go!!!!!!

Wow, this week has flown! I can't believe it's almost all over. lol I've found out over the holidays that I *don't* dump, can eat practically anything and, after a sip of my punch, found that soda doesn't bother me. Oh man. And, that my mom's M&M cookies are as yummy as ever. LOL Highest right before surgery: 265.8 Day of surgery: 255 Last week: 155.0 This morning: 155.0 Loss this week: Nothing but no gain either!!! Total pounds lost: 110.8 pounds!!!!! Pounds until surgeon's goal: 5!!!!! Wishing you all a safe and happy New Year! I'm not sure how 2008 will ever top what 2007 has brought. But, I know it'll bring me at goal (please before 1/24!!!) and that's the most amazing thing I can think of. But, 2007 also brought all of you into my life and I'm so thankful for that! Things are crazy here so I'll see you all in 2008!!!! * Cyndi *

Well, I'm off to work AGAIN! It's been a crazy couple of weeks!! In response to what Cyndi said...Thankfully, I know I DO dump...but not off of like one cookie or anything. (Wish I did!) It usually ends up being off of something liquid...I guess because I take it in so much quicker and my body doesn't know what to do about it. I usually dump on Slim Fast shakes--but its mild. Just a little bit of light headedness and heart racing. The worst dumping I ever experienced was off of a Non-fat no whip white chocolate mocha from Starbucks. Big MISTAKE! I will never do that again. I'll stick to my nonfat sugar-free cinnamon dolce latte with no whip....way less calories...and no added sugar-lol! Anyway, hope everyone has a wonderful week and a great start to the new year! Day of surgery: 367 Last week: 235 Today: 232 Loss this week: 3 lbs Total Loss since surgery: 135 lbs I'm pleased with this week...but I'm hoping I can do better next week after the holidays are all gone and I can refocus on EXERCISING! I need to get my butt in gear! Courtney

Well for me I lost 1 pound this week and I am so disappointed. I mean am I ever going to get to Onderland..... Post Op= 289 Last Week=201 This Week=200 I guess a loss, is a loss, is a loss.....right? Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.... Roxy

Hang in there Roxy! For three weeks I bounced between 200 and 202. Once I hit 199 and stayed there for two days my losses sailed. It's something about that move from 2s to 1s. I remember telling Esther to hang in. lol Once she hit 199 she's sailed down the scale too. LOL It'll happen! Just wait and see. * Cyndi *

Cyndi, I got up this morning to weigh in and I am at 199. Finally I have achieved a 90 lbs weight loss. Next stop 100. I am trying for small goals but we all know going for the 2's to 1's is a big deal. I am so happy I can't wipe the smile off of my face. Hope you have a happy new year!!!! Thanks for the words of encouragment!!!!!

Happy new year everyone!!! Well I'm back to a break even week, no loss -- no gain!!! I guess that's not bad for the holidays, really glad their over!!! Also, been slipping on exercise, need to get back to it. Bad news, like the rest of you I tested my body, and I can handle sweets, oh no!!! Present weight 270.6 total WLS loss 132.0 again happy new year, and have a good week. John

Hi April,just surf'en. Congrats. Jill

Waiting until Wednesday to do my weekly weigh-in; that's my "surgiversary" and don't want to be discouraged before then. Didn't get to exercise today - the grandson was running around, and once they left, I had so much to do! Congrats to everyone who had a good week! Cyndi
