Monday Weigh In (join in)

Okay all....time for that Monday morning Weigh in! Let's get that total way up there again like last week. Can we beat it? Last week we were at 1254.6 lbs! I know there were a couple after I had totaled it up that I just saw, but have to stop adding sometime. Try and get your weight loss in soon, I'll be adding tomorrow morning (6am CST). Here's mine.....pretty disappointed, went up 1/2 lb. Increased my walking and my calorie intake to 650- 680 per day. I know I wasn't taking enough in before. Yesterday there was a lot of sodium intake in the foods I ate, and I'm retaining water in my legs today, so....I'm assuming that's the problem. I need to get back to the doc and see if I should still be on my blood pressure diuretic. Okay....blah, blah, blah. TIMING.......................DATE........WT.....LOSS..TOTAL LOSS Surgeon consult........ 05 03 07 / 300.5 Surgery Date............ 06 18 07 / 276.0 /-24.5 /24.5 8 weeks................... 08 13 07 / 244.5 /-32.0 /56.0

Hi! This is my first time reporting in... Starting weight: 275 As of this morning: 235 7 week loss total of: 40 lbs I'm up about 1.5 lbs from last week but I think it might be water retention. We were outside all weekend and both days were over 90 degrees. Hopefully it will be better next week. Beth

Okay, I want to change mine. LOL I weighed again before posting on my profile and I was down 1.5 lbs. Go figure. May be just the walking after I got up if it is just the water retention. So......here is the new one for me. TIMING.......................DATE........WT.....LOSS..TOTAL LOSS Surgeon consult........ 05 03 07 / 300.5 Surgery Date............ 06 18 07 / 276.0 /-24.5 /24.5 8 weeks................... 08 13 07 / 242.5 /-33.5 /58.0 Still going to call the doc and see about the diuretic and my blood pressure, haven't checked it in awhile.

ok i am going to get up now and get off this computer and if my scale has not moved i am going to either 1) throw it out the 2nd story window....2) beat it to death with the plunger or 3) drown it in the bath tub. i will post later if the scale is safe or not....and of course my results........ PLEASE PRAY FOR THE SCALE........Lol

Crystal B - I can just see you whomping on that bad beastie scale! It doesn't stand a chance! I pray for it to live another day!
