Weekly Weigh In week of 11/5

AlAN, 1/2 the man you used to be!!!!! WOW --- you are just amazing!!!!! keep up the great work you are doing fantastic hug, Britt

Well I was gone all last week @ a work conference in La. It was a good time but kinda stressful eating wise. When I went on vacation before it was with family and we were able to go grocery shopping. It was very easy to stay on track. This time I was with a coworker and no refrigerator. I think overall I made good choices. My stats: Starting Weight: 268 2 Weeks ago: 154 This Week: 154.5 Gain: .5 I cant seem to get past this weight I got down to 152 once but went right back up. I keep hovering right at 154ish. I partly think it has to do with my uncontrolled spotting. Its almost like I am having 2 periods a month. I had an ultrasound to check things out looking for fibroids ect. but none thankfully. But I do have a huge cyst on my one ovary that they just want to keep an eye on and several smaller ones on the other. The thing is I am already on birthcontrol which is what the dr would suggest to control the bleeding and cysts. Otherwise he would suggest longterm birth control except I am thinking of kids so those aren't really options right now. My coworkers tell me the best thing for the cysts is to get pregnant but I don't want to go there for at least 6 more months. Of course I need to get married first too lol. My boyfriend and I have discussed this and I think he will propose soon and neither of us want a real long engagement and then he knows I want kids soon too. I am 33 with PCOS and don't want to wait to long in case of problems. Oh my I have really started rambling. Sorry Hope everyone is having a good surgerversiry month!!! Hugs, Kim

Hi Kim! My periods have been crazy too! I guess my body is adjusting to me new weight. At least you are on your home turf now so its easier to eat right and get back on track - I find being away is so HARD!!! HUGS, Britt Happy Surgiversary to you too!

Starting weight 202 Last week = 96 This week = 94 Loss this week = 2 Total loss = 108 Current BMI = 16.something I'm in limbo hell again. I'll post another post about it. I'm just so discouraged. Congrats to all of you who are having success. Everyone else, keep your chin up. I'm trying to tell myself this too.

Hi Kim, Wow Limbo again? I read that post ... CRAZY! HANG IN THERE I hope you report some good news soon you are in my prayers, Britt

ok girls. We made through it!!! congratulations to you all. My question is how do I stop losing weight? I am trying but can't. I am kinda nervous. Do you think I will stop when my body needs to stop? I am trying to up my fat intake but do not want to get ill. You all know the feeling lol. I am nearly 5'10 so anything under 18.9 is underweight. Stats 2 weeks ago 163 today 153 total lost 133 start weight 286 bmi 21

Hi Lianna, I'd try to increase your calorie intake,add some Carbs, What does your surgeon / NUT say? I have to watch everything that I put in my mouth. Everyone is so different WOW ---> 133 pounds lighter! hugs, Britt

Well I had another awful week. My fibro hit me with a vengeance and we're so busy at work, I can't wait until Thanksgiving that's usually when my season is over. On a good note I am feeling better today and life is looking better. Starting weight 298.5 Last week = 163.4 This week = 164.4 Gain this week = 1.0 Total loss = 134.1 Current BMI = 30.0 I' really going to watch my carbs this week and exercise my 5 times.
