Weekly Weigh In week of 1/21

Hi all, I am still upward on the scale . I am CRAZED about it too. I start each day - determined to eat "right' then fizzle out and find myself eating / grazing. Not good! I feel like I can really eat a lot lately too. For example ...I can eat a whole sandwich. I could NEVER do that before. I am really concerned about how much I can eat. I am talking to my surgeon when I see him in a few weeks. We touched base via email - but we will discuss it in more detail at my appointment. I had the 2 pounds off - then went to a party yesterday and HELLO this morning "THEY'RE BACK!!!!" Starting weight 250.5 Last week = 140 This week = 142 Loss this week = 0 Total loss = 108.5 Current BMI = 22.9 Be Determined! Keep your eye on the prize Quote - Ralph Waldo Emerson: Concentration is the secret of strength. xoxox & Hugs, Britt

Amen Britt... I know you can do it and keep it. You did for a long time and I know you will again. Just - as you say Keep your eye on the prize. My saying right now is...As long as you are trying you cannot fail. The only way to fail is to quit. So today I will NOT quit! You know as a morbidly obese person people easily see that I have (had) a weight problem. What I know that they don't is. The weight problem was really a food problem and even though they can't see it anymore because I've lost the weight I still have a food problem. I will battle food every day of my life - I have no doubt. Some days I may not win - Most days I will. Some days the battle will be won easily others I will fight hard. Some days I may forget I'm in the battle - then watch out for the sneak attack. But I know it is a constant battle. My WLS though makes me finally think I might win the war! I'm bouncing around with my weight. I don't remember what I reported last week. This week it has been mostly 171 but today was up to 172.5 - I did not win the battle this weekend but I have gotten up ready to fight and plan on winning today!!! I am still a little weak since my surgery but I am planning on at least some brisk walking this week and I think it will help with my energy level.

If I could figure of the EMOTINAL eating part I'd be GOLDEN! HANG IN THERE WE "CAN" do this ladies hugs, Britt

Hello Nov. 06 Buddies, Starting weight 259 Last week = 142 This week = 142 Loss this week = 0 Total loss = 117 Current BMI = 24.5 Been the same for a few weeks now. It's funny I always heard people talk about how you bloat up the week on your period. I was always so big before I never noticed it. This is the 1st month where I can tell my jeans are a little more tight than usual. My size 12's are getting a bit too big, but 10's are too tight right now, so I'm in that "fun" in between size stage right now. Hope everyone is doing well. Let's all work on LESS GRAZING this week. Lord know I am doing it as well.

I am with you! LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING LESS GRAZZING Hugs, Britt

It seems to be the week for grazing! I'm guilty of that too! Spending the week in a hotel, eating out, and driving back and forth did me in. It is absolutely frightening how much I can eat...all day long. But today is a new day and today I re-commit myself to healthy eating! Wanda

Wanda, I just used those same exact words "re-commit" I do too! hugs, Britt

Me too... Recommitt!! Trudy

Britt, I am with you on the grazing. I ate all day, all week last week. This new job just sitting in an office is not good for this. I have myself where I can handle a little bit of sugar again and have been drinking and eating it. I even had a can of soda I sipped on today. That habit can not get started again. Here go my stat's for the week: Starting weight = 273 Last week = 120 This week = 119 Loss this week = 0 and still up 3 lbs since pre-holidays Total loss = 154 Current BMI = 19.2 Anything we can do to try and get each other back on track? HUGS, Christy

Hey Christy, It is so hard - we are FOOD ADDICTS Every time I think "ok - I'm getting it" BAMMO - I get a smack in my face and one from the scale reminding me "ummmm not so fast sweetheart!" It is comforting to know I am not alone in this. Maybe we can try to post our daily food calorie intake protein grams carb grams fat grams water exercise get back to basics and see if that is HELPFUL lets keep it real!!! We are all friends here! How about that? Anyone want to OFFICIALLY post it daily - or we can just leave up to one of us to start the thread. I think we should post ACTUAL intake instead of planned (for me sometimes I plan it and still stray) any comments ????? hugs we CAN do this ladies Britt
