Time to Weigh In

Ok everyone, I don't think we have done this in a while. It is time to weigh in and let everyone know where you are and how far you have come. There have been a lot of posts about about bouncing around (and that is what I have been doing lately), but let us put that all in perspective with how far we have come. Feel free to put in your sizes if you so desire. You can also put where you want to go. I am at 209, though bouncing up 2 or 3 pounds then back again. Body wants to hold this weight, I've been plateau'ing for over a month. Trying hard right now to get that carb demon off my back and start loosing again. Got to step up exercises also. But I have dropped from tight 28's to size 16 pants and L/XL tops. Health is great and I can walk up stairs without huffing/puffing. I love to be able to cross my legs! I fit airline seats! WOW, how is that for a year! Would like to get down to about 160-170, but also expect to get some plastic surgery, so maybe 180 with plastic will put me there! Hope to hear from everyone..... even you lurkers (like me most times). Eileen 337/209/160-170ish

Eileen! GOOD !!! We are the same weight - 209!! I had bounced up to 217 last week- and I can happily say I just changed everythng around- from carbs to protein- from my workout- I subbed/added two new things- Elliptical Trainer and a PowerFlex weight class - I also been concentrating on doing more AB work. Today, wearing my sons 38 trail shorts- they are 1" biggger in my waist than a month ago- so I have done something right. I even ate old fashioned french toast with s/f syrup one day. I was glad the scale moved! Here is what I do. Some days I get this all in as listed- others I modify it back by time- but tend to get a round of it all in: 60-75 Cardio- Treadmill/ Precor Stairmaster - now with 5lb hand weights 20 mins Boxing 25 mins- elliptical Trainer 30-40 mins weights- shoulders/ arms /leg sled/ ABS/ hamstrings/ quads 4-8 laps swimming * I began at 30 min treadmill with my joints hurting afterwards, so I needed to hot tub/sauna afterwards..Now I add those if I have a free 20mins.

Well it's been FOREVER since I have been on the site, let alone posted anything... Glad to hear everyone is doing so well! I have my good days and bad...but know I just don't get enough protein or calories on most days. But I feel fine and so much better than I did a year ago!! I was hoping to be at 175 by my one year post op date, but I managed to get within 6 lbs...so I am still thrilled. ~Wendy surgery 8/10/05 278/181/165 down -97 lbs!! currently in size 12 jeans and L tops...where did my boobs go???
