Monday Morning Weigh-In
I'll start this since I am working midnight shift and weighted myself this morning before heading out to my Superbowl party. I had a great week. I guess staying off the scale a bit and exercising is helping me. Here goes it...
Pre-op Appt Weight: 282
Weight on Surgery Date 10/11/06: 274
Weight Last Week: 212 on 1/27 when I hid the scale.
Weight this Week: 206 on 2/04
Total Weight Change Since Pre-op appt.: 76 lbs
Total Change: 6 lbs lost in last week
Total Change in last month: 18 lbs.
Average Weekly Change since Surgery: 4.1 lbs per week
Avg. Weekly Change in last month: 3.6 lost per week
Projected 4 weeks: 193 on 3/4/07 based on last 2 month weight loss.
Projected 12 Weeks: 166 on 4/29/07 (which is only one pound heavier than my goal...but I know the loss will slow down now that I am getting closer to goal.)
Not a bad week, if I do say so myself!!

stall.... very disappointing morning. same as last monday. i still cheat and weigh everyday (that's cheating by weighing, not in any other way!!), so i knew that this week was going to be about the same although i was hoping for at least a pound or two. i was up and down all week. i thought for sure it would have moved down by this morning, as i weighed exactly the same last night, and usually i weigh less in the morning, but alas, the scale gods must have been busy this week, and it didn't even budge!!
i won't let that stop me though. it is 8:30 am, and i have made omelets for my men and gotten them off to work... my sink is shining again, and i am making my list for the grocery store. when i get back i will hop on my gazzelle.
i really haven't used the gazelle much this week. a dear friend taken off of his ventalator on friday, and he passed away shortly after. he had a routine surgery in december, and has been on the vent since. he and my husband were close, and so i spent part of saturday helping to set up for shiva. then sunday was the funeral and then back to their home. we will go again tonight, and then for the rest of the week. he was one of the friendliest and funny men i've known, and it was heartwrenching to see his wife and especially his kids, 23, 21, and 17, go through this. it was also tough on my kids. life just isn't fair sometimes.
Todays weight: 238! (I can't remember the last time I weighed 238 - probably college?)
Last week: 243
1st consult weight - 328
surgery day weight - 308
Lost last week - 5lbs
Total lost - 90lbs
Next mini goal - 199
Mini goal deadline - April 28th, 2007
Lbs to go - 39! thats an average of just over 3lbs per week - I can do it!
Finally the scale moved and I think the stall may be over with. I lost 6 pounds this week and I feel GREAT.....Considering I only lost 10 for the entire previous month, 6 in a week feels good again. Those stalls are a real test on our patience. When you feel like you are doing everything right and the weight still does not come up,just so frustrating. But this was a good week and I thank God for that. Last week I was at 259 and this morning I was at 253. So since surgery that is now 86 pounds. It was so funny, this morning I was in the tub shaving my legs and realized how much more leg I have to shave now. I have thighs and a lap now. Not that it is all that much since I am only 5'2" and have short stubby legs to begin with, but the belly has receded and there is leg there now that needs shaved. Gotta love it......So everyone keep up the great work and have a good week. Lots of love.......Gay
