Deb

Great Week Deb! you are doing awesome Congrats on your 118 pound loss hugs, Britt

So I have also a bad week this week. Lots of emotions and fighting those inner demons that lead me down this path in the first place. Been fighting a lot with hubby which always makes me reach for food. However through it all, I didn't gain very much only a half pound which is certainly a heck of a lot better than I could have seven months ago. After a week like this I would have gained 3 to 4 pounds and would be back on a bad cycle. However, I know that it was just a bad week on top of my body trying to stall after losing 9 pounds in 3 weeks, mostly in just over a week. So I'm picking myself back up and I'm going to do my best this week to do better! We CAN do this and I WILL do it! Here's my stats for the week though Starting weight 278 Last weigh-in 163 Weight now 163.5 Gained .5 Total lost - 115 lbs!!!!!! (Can't bring myself to change it that little bit, LOL) Starting BMI = 47 Current BMI = 27.5 I hope ya'll had a better week than me, lol! Raven

Congrats on your 115 pound loss I guess we HAVE to learn how to deal emotions / eatting issues. A hard thing to do!!!! regardless I pray we all have a better weeks ahead all the way to goal! Hugs, Britt

*sigh* Had we done this yesterday I could have reported a 1/2 pound loss for the week. Today I have to report a 1/2 pound gain. Starting weight 234 Last week = 155.5 This week = 156 Loss this week = +.5 Total loss = 78 I'm so tired of being stuck in place!!!

Congrats on your 78 pound loss Darn that scale of yours ...please please please tell that thing MONDAYS are loss days not gain darn little .5 heres to a big loss weeks for all of us! hugs, Britt

Ok. I have met my doctors goal of 80 pounds lost. But I am 20 pounds away from my goal. here are my stats: Starting weight 286 Last week = 194 This week = 193 Loss this week = 1 Total loss = 93

Congrats on your 93 pound loss That is great that you have met your doctors goal. Congrats!!! have a great week! hugs, Britt

Britt, Thank you so much for the very special congratulations, I am still in disbelief that I am at goal!!! The mind issue is NOT there, I forget that I am actually thin now and sometimes still want to hide like I did 7 months ago. The mind is not completely there yet. I understand about snacking is hard, I had to fight it yesterday pretty hard but still ended up with a bite from a cupcake. Fortunately, I was able to stop with one bite. We had chips in the house yesterday too and I was fighting the urge for Doritos as well but was able to stay away from those with the help of Nacho Cheese protein chips. I have my husband on board finally with the change of eating habits. We are keeping a vegetable tray and some sort of cut up fruit at all times in the house and that seems to keep away inappropriate snacking. However, congratulations on losing .50 lbs, it sure beats a gain........ I am sure that TOM didn't help..... Here go my stats for this week: Starting weight = 273 Surgery Date Weight = 263 Last Week = 141.5 This Week = 138.5 Loss this week = 3 lbs Loss since surgery = 124.5 Total Loss = 134.5 BMI = 22.3 I have lost almost 1/2 of myself. That is unbelievable................
