Sunday Weigh In!!!

OK, since I am still up and it is now officially Sunday for most of us for sure I will go ahead and start this now.......that and I am so excited that even at night I can report losing all the extra surgery fluid weight and then some..... Highest 325lbs Surgery 318lbs Last Weight on 12/30 of 218lbs (teetering then to 220lb) But I am happy to report now at 213lbs!!!!!!! So that is all that fluid weight as I saw it go up to 230lbs and now down at least another 5lbs "My name is Donna and I am a Scale-oholic! " Next big goal for me is that I was 208lbs when I got married. Our 11th Wedding Anniversary is Feb 1st and it looks like I will be able to officially for the first time say I weigh less than when I married. Took me 11 years but hey! And also tonight I needed to get past dh and he only moved a little bit.....I was thinking I could not squeeze past gave him a look and heavy sigh.....he said "what you can make it skinny" Well I amazed myself and did.....just do not see that my behind doesn't stick out as much anymore LOL......but had to stop.....he called me "skinny". Awwwwww big wow moment for me cause he was not just saying it......he meant it! So Cyndi guess what the "d" means for him tonight LOL! Add to that I am racing toward Onderland.....that I want sooooo badly!!!!! anyway happy dancing my myself tonight So keep in down in here in the am......I will be sleeping in!!!! LOL! Donna

Did much better this week, as opposed to gaining a pound last week. Pre-op = 259 Last week = 180 Today = 175

Looks like you made up for that pound!!! Way to go!!!!!!!! Donna

I guess I'm blind..I didn't even see this post so ..I smarted off to you earlier & ask where u were. Then another women answered my post. I think it's neat how you guys have a Sunday weigh -in. I think it would be goog to start one on our June/07 surgery date. I think I'll see what happens.

Don't you love the look when we think we're whales and everyone else actually "sees" us. LOL I was so happy to make it to the back corner of my brother's table without knocking into everything in sight. I'm thrilled to give my report this week! I love my scale again. lol Highest right before surgery: 265.8 Day of surgery: 255 Last week: 154.5 This morning: 152.0 Loss this week: 2.5 pounds!!! Total pounds lost: 113.8 pounds!!!!! Pounds until surgeon's goal: 2!!!!! I see my surgeon on the 24th. If things keep going this way (I'm back to the gym tomorrow), I should see his goal on his scale, fully clothed, and be under goal here at home on the scale nakey. LOL Wishing you all a FABULOUS week!!! * Cyndi *

I just can't believe you are already so close to goal!!! I am so happy for you!!!!! Donna

Cyndi, You are my hero.............. You are doing so great and you are looking more and more beautiful. I had a bad week but I am back on track this week and not going to budge. I remember when I did the 2 or 3 pound gain and loss when I was around the 200 mark and then you told me to be patient and that I would drop down to the 180's one day and I did. Well I am messing around the 175-180 area now and it is irritating me but I have to relax and remember that one of these days I will drop to 169, that is my next dream come true. Thanks for always encourageing me and keeping me on track. Love ya, Esther

Every 20-25 lbs I have that same gain/loss situation. I was 151.8 yesterday and I was 152.2 this morning. Am I stressing? Heck no! 152 will always beat 265 for me! lol I have 9 days to lose this 2.2 pounds. I'm pretty sure I can do it. Now if my doc would let me weigh there in my intimates I'd really be happy. lol I just keep seeing my ticker and shaking my head that all this has happened in less than 8 months! I've been bad and haven't been back to the gym. Things have been beyond hectic the last few weeks (where is Sears with my fridge???? lol) but I'll get back there. I'm just so HAPPY now that it's not even funny. I'm so thrilled that I did this. I'm so thrilled I haven't failed. Sure, size 6 pants are nice but for the first time in 20 years I don't have pain in my knees! I can't wait to see my orthopedic surgeon. He'll need a new line now that "you know, Cyn, every time you go up and down steps you're putting 2-3 times your body weight on your knees" doesn't cut it anymore. I love my ortho surgeon and can't wait until my next appointment. lol I hope I get a out of him. lol Esther, you're doing fabulous and you know it. Just keep doing what you know you have to do. I still cheat a little but I'll be darned if I'm going to deprive myself. But, I also know it can only be ONE not TEN. Like I've said with every other stall, it's our bodies fighting to figure out what we've done. Then, it relaxes and joins us for the ride. And a fun and wild ride it's been!!!! You'll be at 168 in no time!!!!! * Cyndi *

Thanks Cyndi, I know that our bodies have to adjust to the weight loss and wearing smaller clothes is the best ever so I know I have done great but I am just irritated because I went on a candy frenzy last week and that is why I gained and it's all my fault. I am just glad that I have you to spill my guts out and to have someone who understands. I am back on track this week and sticking to good food a lots of protein and hopefully I will see the scale smiling again next week. When I hit 168, you will be the first to know. I am pretty close to goal so 168 will be perfect for me. Thanks you so much again for helping me through the hard times. Luckily there have been more great times then hard times and I would do it again in a heart beat. Hugs, Esther

Esther...I just wanted you to know that I am fighting with the same numbers as you are....and 169 in my next dream also!!! I will no longer be OBESE!!!!! Was 174 but now am at 175...yesterday was not a good food day, but today WILL be!!!! Hang in there and we will see 169 together....since Cyndi flew by it!!!!! I am so jealous Cyndi!!!!! But I know that you are behind Esther and I pushing us right along!!!! Love,Holly
