Sunday Weigh In - where is everyone!

Hi everybody and Happy Fahter's Day to all the dads out there! I was excited this week to get on the scale so I thought I would start this post. I had quit weighing as the scale was not moving but I put on some pants the other day I had not worn in awhile and I was able to pull them off without unbuttoning them. So I tried on some pants my mom passed down and I could not even get them past my hips a month ago and they fit. So I got on the scale and it was down 10 lbs.....wow. I was holding at 195 even though some days I had reached 190 but now I am at 185lbs. I had wanted to be 180 by my one year.....but now it looks like before I get to one year and one month it will be doable. 180 puts me at a BMI or 29.9 so that will be in the just overweight category. So that is what I am shooting for. Right now it is 30.7 (I think I can! I think I can!) So that puts me at highest 325 Day of surgery 318 Current 185 Goal 150 Loss since surgery 133lbs! So how was everyone else's week! Donna

I haven't posted in a while because I stalled. Today I got on the scale and was down, big time! Highest: 378 Surgery: 354 Today: 198 Total lost: 180lbs! I'm thrilled!

Whoooo hoooo Welcome to Onderland!!!!!!! What is it with scales these days and not moving LOL! Glad it has moved for you too! Donna

Hello all....seems everyone is doing well!!!! I am not, but I am hanging in there and hoping for a loss soon. Highest 262 Surgery 258 This week 164.5 Loss of 97.5 I will get there one day soon I hope.....Dr. wants me to be 150 by November.....seems like I will never make it!!!!!! Congrats to all.... Love, Holly

Holly, I am sure you well get your loss soon. It seems to happen when you just give up on the scale so try that LOL! As for 150 by November I am sure you will make it. At this point I am hoping for 150 by my two year anniversary. I have a good friend that is a WLS patient that just celebrated two years and is stuck where I am now (actually I weigh less than her and I am taller than she is.....so it scares me that I too could stall......but my DR says just keep doing what I am doing and I will get there. (I do hope he is right!) Donna

I'll play...sorry I don't come here often. I mostly hang out on the Minnesota forum. Pre-op: 240 Last week: 153 This week: 152 Pounds lost this week: 1 Total pounds lost to date: 88 13 pounds to go! (((Hugs))) Michelle

Michelle, Glad you stopped by! We need to get this forum going again! 13lbs to goal that is awesome!!! Donna

Yes, I know we've all done well, but man! I personally am uber-frustrated with this last stall. I have not lost a drop since beginning of May. Actually have gained 3 lbs. I only had 13 left until my goal and now, there's 16 left to go!! Anyways, thanks for the vent... Preop = 259 Currently = 161 Total lost = not enough

April, I know that has got to be frustrating......but when you least expect it I bet the scale will move again!!!!! Donna

Hi Donna, It has been such a long time since I have posted. My highest weight: 239 Day of surgery: 224 Current: 119 lb Total loss: 120 lbs I am loving life and am really enjoying working out. Sometimes I forget that I was morbidly obese. Which can be a problem in food situations. I have to remember that I am NOT like everyone else. I have to constantly monitor what I am eating. I am so greatful for this surgery. I still can't believe that I am 13 months post op now. Geez, time sure flies when you are having fun living life!! Hugs to all, Heather
