Weigh in for August 4th

Hi everyone, I was 158 today...my first day back at work after a week vacation. Last week I posted 155. It is a different scale so I hope it really wasn't a 3 lb gain but the work scale is the one I have been using for the Monday weigh ins. (How much do shoes weigh?lol) So I still have 8 lbs to go until goal. I'm feeling great though and have been riding my bike a lot. It's been a wonderful year.....best for me in a long time. I go to Rochester on Thursday for my year check up with the surgeon. I had calorie testing done by the bariatric specialist I see here. Has anyone else had this done? Apparently I burn 1493 calories a day at rest. Have a great week everyone. Let's make sure we keep in touch next year too! Fran

Hi Fran! Thanks for starting the weigh in! I lost track of what day it was and forgot to post. I've had a rough week. I don't know what's happening with me, my body and my emotions but I feel soooooo down. I just feel like crying all the time lately. I'm sure it'll pass...I hope so anyway! I weighed in this morning at 145 again so at least I'm holding steady there. I hope this finds you all feeling great and smiling those beautiful smiles! I love you all! Brenda

Brenda, I'm glad your weight is holding steady but I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down. I know you have been doing an awful lot this summer and haven't had much time to yourself. Maybe you just need to relax a little and take some "you" time. If you continue to feel down though make sure you go see your doctor. Maybe you are getting a little depressed. Feeling like you want to cry all the time can be one of the symptoms. Take care of yourself. Fran

Hi there! I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Maybe you are just overwhelmed by your very busy schedule? Please try to get some rest my friend. I know life can get overwhelming sometimes. I just try to catch my breath, look at my children and try to remind myself that I am blessed to be able to get every minute I can with them. Everything else comes second to that. I am here for you if you need to chat anytime, and I mean that. PLEASE take good care of yourself! MUCH LOVE to you :}

hey everyone I weigh 162 today, before BM - yea, I count before and after....lol My anniversary is Aug 15th, so still some days to lose those last 20 lbs...I know someone shake me, I'm dreaming........ Hugs to the group Tara

Hi Tara, I still have some more pounds to go but they are coming off much slower now. My anniversary is on the 13th so I shooting to be at goal by labour day. Good luck to you. You're doing great. Fran

lol I weigh in the morning, and after I go number two. Do you know I have lost 4 lbs. after a good bm? LOL You are doing awesome! Happy almost Surgiversary! Mine is the 17th, the day my hubby is flying in! I thought that was a really cool way to celebrate :}. Much love to you my beautiful friend!

HEY...there are all my beautiful friends! So glad to see all of you. I am holding steady at 129 now. My monthly just ended so I will see if I drop a lil more, or stay the same. I am happy where I am. Getting ready for my TT on the 26th. Have a bad sinus infection so taking ZPAC now to clear it up. Kinda makes the pouch feel yucky but not too bad. I am so happy to see everyone is ok, and posting again. You are all very important to me, and I feel such a kinship with you. Please take good care of yourselves and keep posting. Much love to all!

Hi Fran! Glad to see you! I weighed at the Dr. office, and their scale was 3 lbs. different than mine. Then, I went to the next exam room and that one was five pounds LESS than the other one...I liked that one ALOT better lol. I just go by the one at home. That is cool about calorie testing. I have never heard of it before, but I would sure like to get it done if I could. My TT is Aug. 26, so I am getting a lil nervous. NOT about the surgery, about my family while I am gone lol. My oldest daughter is back at home, so now all four of my kids and my Granddaughter too! I hope we do not end up on the news lol. YOU have done so great with your weight loss! I am glad you are doing well. All of you ladies are AWESOME and an inspiration to me. Take good care of yourself, and I look forward to your posts. Much Love!!
