Weigh in - Jan 14th 2008

Hi I hope that you had a great week / weekend. Starting weight 250.5 Last week = 140 This week = 142 Loss this week = gained 2 (Me and the NuvaRing didn't get along!) Total loss = 108.5 Current BMI = 22.9 Be Determined! Keep your eye on the prize YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! QUOTE - "This one step - choosing a goal and sticking to it - changes everything." Scott Reed HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!! hugs, Britt

I can't believe after the good week I had of exercising and 2 days of just protein shakes that I actually gained this week. I am really frustrated. I did the 5 days pouch diet and let me tell you it was hard. I did OK the first 2 days but not so fabulous yesterday. My husband told me he has never heard me complain so much ever. I certainly missed chewing. Starting weight 298.5 Last week = 158.5 This week = 159.2 Gain this week = .7 Total loss = 139.3 Current BMI = 29.1 So my goals for this week are get in my exercise and track what I eat. I'm with Wanda and CeCe in being out of control. Deb

That is VERY frustrating! I hear you. I've considered that 5 day pouch test. ?????? Hang in there - remain focused hopefully we will both be down some lbs. next week hugs, Britt

Hi Deb, Could you tell me more about the 5-day pouch diet? I don't think I've heard of this one. Thanks, Deidrah

I know my body well enough to know that the 5 day pouch test would have those same results on me. It's way too much like a crash diet for me. I'll just work on following a sensible eating plan. That seems to work best for me. Wanda

love your new avatar!

Britt, with your 90 day challenge that NuvaRing doesn't have a chance. When you say "didn't get along," does that mean the NuvaRing is history? The 2 pounds will be too! As I said the other day, I'm down 1/4 pound more. I know I could easily get into the 120s if I would completely behave! I am doing better but snacking too often is still snacking too much even if the food is healthy. Weight: 130.25 BMI: 22.4

Yes, YOU GOT IT ... that ring is "a thing in the TRASH" Cece - I want that 2 pounds gone and &really want to be *135* waaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'd take 1/4 and RUNNNNNNN he he he how is your wound healing? hugs, Britt

Britt, The wound is close to being healed!! It's pretty small now and hopefully will be totally gone before February! I'm still noticing it (or the LBL) during some exercises so I back off. Running is out of the question right now. I really feel it pulling then. Thanks for asking!! As far as the numbness around the incision area, that's most noticable on the back on either side of my spine. When I get on an exercise mat, it just feels strange - like I'm laying on something really hard and uncomfortable! CeCe
