Weekly Weigh In week of 6/11

Dropped another 2 pounds this week, I jacked up my protein up to 100 gm last week because I am getting more active. I have been thinking about upping my calories but I am kind of afraid to don't want to start gaining weight back and I don't know if I am active enough to justify the increase. Highest weight-----2000----------- 878 First consult -----12/05--------------613 Surgery date-11/14/2007---------544 First goal under--500---------------498 Second goal under 400-5/14/07--399 Today--------------------------------------388 Total loss from highest weight---490 Total loss from 1st consult---------225 Total loss from surgery date------156

Great Job Alan!!!! Yippee for 2 more pounds!!! I bet you are excited about your new found "active level" its great to have the energy to do things right? Congrats. I hear you being afraid to add calories ... when you are losing your brain is tell you 'no don't eat more you'll gain' - when in actuality if you are moving more you are buring more. Talk to your surgeon and NUT and get their input! yippee - you are 490 / 225 / 156 pounds lighter keep up the great work Alan! hugs, Britt

Wow! Everyone is going so great! I love to read and will share when I weigh! I started water arobics today which is so cool. It works out great. My daughter goes to gymnastics three times a week and water arobics fits perfectly into the time she is there. I work as a diagnosticial for the school system and today was my first day off - feels great. I have a couple of months off now. Can't wait to do all the things I have been putting off until "summer". Later, Trudy

have fun - on your time off!!! I hope you had fun today a****er aerobics!!! Yes, everyone is doing FAB-U-LOUS we can't wait to hear how you did! hugs, Britt

Hello! Had a great weekend! I was out of town for the 3rd weekend in a row! My boyfriends sister had her graduation party Sun. and I did well there. Big gatherings like that are still hard for me. I try to just keep a bottle of water with me as soon as I am able to drink again after eating. Its all the munchies and sweets just sitting all around ugh so tempting. But like I said I did good and it seems to get a little easier as time goes on. I am totally looking forward to being home this weekend! So here are my stats for the week! Starting weight- 268 Last week- 172 This week-171 Loss this week- 1 Total loss 97 Current BMI-28.4

Bad Week, "Monthly Visitor" came & Life is rough right now for me, so at least it did not go up Last week & this week I stayed 166

Hey Julie, Staying the same due to your 'visitor' (even though you want the scale to move downward) - is OK at least you know WHY you stayed the same - next week will be better. I feel like a snacking fiend when my 'visitor' arrives (which is now) - I hate it Regardless - congrats on your SUCCESS so far hugs, Britt
