Monday Morning Weigh In

This week looks good on the surface... beginning weight: 266 last week: 171 this week: 167 -4 this week -99 total However...this is my third time to get to 167. I bounce up and down between 167 and 171. Please God, let me lose one more pound (to get to 100 lost) and keep it off. Annette

Way To Go Annette!!! I wish I could pull numbers like -4 a week Soon, I hope Soon!! Have an awesome week, you are doing great Molly

One pound to the hundred, I will keep my fingers crossed, big time! You CAN do it!!!! Tara

WEIGHT STATISTICS SURGERY WT: 313lbs TODAY'S WT : 201.5lbs TOTAL LOST : 111.5lbs SO CLOSE TO ONEDERLAND I CAN TASTE IT, NO PUN INTENDED. MOLLY, YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB. I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT GETTING IN THE FLUIDS. SOME DAYS I CAN DRINK AND DRINK AND DRINK. OTHER DAYS IT'S A STRUGGLE TO GET JUST 16ozs IN. I DO MUCH BETTER W/ THE FLUIDS AT WORK THAN AT HOME. GO FIGURE! WHEN YOU SANCK, AND WE ALL SNACK AT TIMES WHY NOT TRY SUGAR FREE JELLO OR SUGAR FREE PUDING, W/ THE PUDING YOU CAN ADD SOME EXTRA PROTEIN TO THAT. IF I SNACK AT NIGHT I HAVE ABOUT 5-6 SMALL CORN TOSTIDOS W/ 2% EXTRA SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE AND SOME SALSA, I EAT THEM EITHER COLD OR HEATED IN THE MICROWAVE, DELISH !!!!!! AND IT SATISFYS THAT HUNGER AT THAT TIME OF NIGHT. OR I'LL EAT 1-2 PIECES OF DELI LOW SODIUM HAM, TURKEY OR ROAST BEEF W/ LOW SODIUM/LOW FAT SWISS CHEESE. IF I'M CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET, I BOUGHT 2 SMALL BAGS OF SUGAR FREE DARK CHOCOLATE AND YORK PEPPERMINT PATTIES, SMALL PIECES AND ONE DOES THE TRICK. HOPE THIS HELPS, DONNA, SFY

Great job Donna!!!! My downfall right now, is..... popcorn (hides face) I love popcorn, and I want it almost every night. I am trying to cut it back to every other night, to ween myself back off of it. Unfortunately, a friend from my support group started and shared some popcorn with me a few months back. I should have said no. I love sugarfree popsicles, and the sugar free pudding. I haven't done the nachos yet, afraid i'll react like the popcorn lol. I can eat just about everything I try, and that scares me. Gotta get my butt in gear and crack down again Thanks for your input, it's so grately appreciated Molly

Molly I will happy pass the Presidency of the OPC club along to you. I was the president for a long time. Or at least it felt that way. You won't be there long. Easy to say but kick that popcorn habit. I am the queen of chips and I fight with myself every day so that I won't eat them! It is so hard. My stats Last 174 this week 172. I want to be 169 or 170 by Thursday. That is when I arrive in New Brunswick for my vacation. I will have to shave my legs, get a hair cut, pluck some eyebrows and trim the nails. Don't think that will be enough but maybe I should git it a go, lol Tara

I'm inching down... 164. 1 lb loss.

I know it is late but had to say how great everyone did this week. I was thinking I was not going to be dropping much anymore but I had a 6 pound weight loss this week. Last week 206 This week-200 Like Donna I can taste ONDERLAND. I want it so bad. But this week for the first time in my 34 years of marriage, I finally weigh less than my husband. I was so excited and for some reason this week people are really starting to notice the weight loss in me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I just bought some pants that fit me. Still spending so much time hiding in the big baggie clothes. Well, have a good week all. Love Gay
