Topic: RE: Weigh in for July 21
HI my friends! Glad to see you back on here. My busy schedule came to a close yesterday, so no more plays, basketball, softball, for me. Mom's Taxi Service gets to take a lil break lol. I am going to start getting ready for my TT, and hubby coming home. And of course, school. Here are my stats:
Surgery date: Aug. 17, 2007
Highest Weight: 320
Surgery Weight: 282
Goal Weight: 140
Current Weight: 130
152 lbs. I hope gone forever and ever! Flo is getting ready to visit (ugh) so I am sure my weight will go up a lil...always does, and then goes down again. Dr. wants me to get to 140, but I would like to be 125 before TT to give me some growing room after since I will be inactive for a while. Have a great week you beautiful ladies!

Hi everyone,
I don't have my official weight this week because I have been on holiday and I usually weigh myself at work. The scale I have at home weighs a little lower. It looks like I have been holding steady though. I started the 5 day pouch test today because I feel like I have been a little out of control with my eating in the last couple of weeks. I want to break the carb cycle....get back to post surgery basics. I still have a week and a half of vacation left.
Have a great week everyone.

I am at 224. I started at 336...
I still need to lose more, but seemed to have stopped. I lose a pound and gain 2. I am very depressed about that.

Hi everyone,
A little late but I am signing in for the week..I lost the pound that I put on last week. So for three or four weeks I have lost and gained the same pound . I am close to goal but not there yet. I still have 12 lbs to go. I am happy where I am but I would like to lose a little more. It is getting more and more difficult to make the right choises every day. Which is probably why I have more or less stopped losing. I also find that I am less satisfied with my body. At first the skin on the stomach didn't really bother me because it was so much better that the fat that was there. Now I would like to have it removed. I know I won't have medical coverage for it so I need to start saving too.
I am on vacation for the next two weeks so I hope to be spending most of my time at the beach or the pool. Have a great week everyone.

I dread posting every week, but I do because it keeps me motivated lol. My weight loss is at a crawl now, actually I think it is stopping. I am not too sure how I feel about that. I am thankful to be this far...at the beginning my goal was 160. I guess I am just being greedy. I am blessed, and I am thankful for all of you helping me along the way. It helps so much to know I am not alone! Love to all...
