Weekly Weigh In week of 3/24/08

I've been trying to post all week but I just haven't had a chance. It was a great week personally but I put on a little weight over the weekend. I did all the cooking for the family Easter dinner at my Mom's house, which meant I had to make sure everything tasted good! lol. I didn't do too bad but I could have done a lot better. I'm also working out quite a bit so I probably have a little extra weight from that as well. Plus that olive juice in my martinis really dehydrates me! Gotta get more water in when I drink. Starting: 233+ Last week: 138.4 This week: 140.0 Gain: 1.6!! Current BMI: 21.9 I have a feeling it won't be a very good weigh in on Monday either. Mark and I are going to Savannah for a romantic weekend getaway. I plan on indulging but not overeating. Does that make sense? Everyone try to stay focused (I'm trying too!!!) and we will get there. We have a great support system here! Susan

Susan, I'm just catching up on the board today and read about your romantic weekend in Savannah! How wonderful!!! I hope you have a wonderful time!!! CeCe

Hope u r having a nice romantic get-a-way with Mark Stay focused here..... is to a loss on Next week hugs, Britt

Hello Britt and Everyone, Well I have not been on for a while, lurking, but not posting anything. I HAVE GOT TO GET BACK ON TRACK AND STAY WITH THE PROGRAM!!

I am still working and will up until day of surgery. My health is GREAT, and I am doing fine, except for the grazing, it has to stop and stop now, YEAH. Than you for listening. starting weight 260 starting day of surgery 255 last week 139 last two months 139 loss this wk 0 total loss 121 116 I am going to try the 5 day pouch test starting tomorrow will be much easier on me while I am at work swing shift. Everyone have a GREAT DAY. Britt so sorry about having to give away your Spencer. Blessings Chrisy

Hi Chrisy, Welcome back! Sorry to hear that you have to go iinfor surgery ... know you are in my prayers how is your daughter doing? thanks for the thoughtfull words regarding Spencer ( I am at peace with it and REALLY KNOW he is in a great home) I hear you on the grazing - it can be VERY difficult to stop it again - once *we* allow ourselves to fall back onto that habbit. I finally feel like I am in the zone now .... but Jee**** took many weeks yo JUST DO IT! Let me know how you do with the 5dpt - i am pulling for you. you are doing good - no gain ! whoooo hoooooo hugs, Britt

Hello Britt, You are such an uplifting person with encouraging words, thank you! My daughter is doing just great, she has lost 88lbs since Aug 31 2007 She is gone back to school and is doing well in school. When she went back the people she used to work with did not even know who she was, she said that was a WOW moment for her. I know the 5 day pouch test is going to be tough, but we have to start some where, I still stay on my three to four oz of food, and drink my water but seem to be staying the same for like four to six months now but I will take it if I can stay there forever. Just wanted to see if it were possible to go down a few more poundages. Thank you for your encouragment. I will keep you all posted. Blessings Chrisy
