Congrats Britt, You are right there at a "normal" BMI. I am so proud of you maintaining a 8 lb loss from last week, that is so awesome. You are doing great with the exercise, much better than me. Here go my stat's for the week: Starting weight = 273 Surgery Date Weight = 263 Last Week = 131 This Week = 129.5 Loss this week = 1.5 lbs Loss since surgery = 133.5 Total Loss = 143.5 BMI = 20.9 As far as exercise, I have made it a part of my new life but not nearly enough. I do aerobics about 20 minutes a day. Last week I added weight training 3 x weekly, right now I HATE IT! I am keeping with it, so we will see if it grows on me. Have a great week everyone.

Hey Christy! Wow ~ you are still losing? Are you trying to maintain and just still losing? Do you beleive that you weigh 129.5???? Post some new pictures girl You are such a SUCCESS Glad to hear about your exercise plan ... Hopefully you will eventually LIKE your new exercise plan with weights. Give it time I cannot wait to lose another pound and OFFICIALLY have a 'normal BMI' !!!! Even more so I cannot wait to get to goal!!! have a great week Hugs Britt

Thanks Brit, I know I need to post some new pics. My husband can't take pictures well at all so I am trying to avoid him taking them. Maybe someone else will do it for me...... Christy

you are 143.5 pounds lighter

I had a good week, especially since I was traveling. Starting weight 234 Last week = 151.5 This week = 149 (two days in a row so I know it's real!) Loss this week = 2.5 Total loss = 85 Current BMI = 25.6 My gym is very limited. They dropped the evening exercise class. Since I got the heart rate monitor I've been using the treadmill for an hour maybe 3x week. I can usually leave early one day a week to make the 4:30 pm class. I found a butt and gut class in the town where I work that is offered two days a week. I think I can make it one of those days. So, in other words--I'm scrounging to get enough exercise in any way I can. Have a great day!

Wanda, 2.5 pounds while away from home!!!! YOU ROCK DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE IN THE 140'S?????? Wanda - you are doing amazing!!!! I think you are doing great with your exercise plan - sounds like you are determined to get your exercise in!!! you are 85 pounds lighter hugs, Britt

Hi Britt, I had a great week, my weight training is slowing my scale down, but my inches are dimenishing rapidly. I am wearing a size 14-16 with a weight of 211.5. That just don't add up. I enjoy doing the weight training with my personal trainer. I will continue to have a trainer for the first year of WLS. I wish the scale can reflect my size a little more. Oh Well!! My stats are below: Here are my stats: Starting weight 320 Last week = 213 This week = 211.5 Loss this week = 1.5 Total loss = 108.5 Current BMI = 40

Hey Donna, Losing inches is a great thing!!!! Look at you size 14's ... yippee you are 108.5 pounds lighter Congrats on your great 1.5 week! Sounds like you have PLANNED to make exercise a part of your life hugs, Britt

I had a great week on the scale not so great week last week I had one of the worst fibromyalgia flair-ups I've ever had so I had to table all exercise last week. Because of my Fibro I find exercising hard but I do try to do Aqua Jogging 3 times a week and if I'm feeling good I walk on the elliptical. I'm going to try bike riding and try to add a little strength training to my routine. Starting weight 298.5 Last week = 177.2 This week = 173.2 Loss this week = 4 Total loss = 125.3 Current BMI = 31.7 Everyone have a great week. Deb
