Weekly Weigh-In 5/19/08

Ok, I'm noticing that fewer and fewer people are checking in each week. Where is everyone? Even if you don't feel like posting a weight weekly, at least let us know you're still out there! It's not mandatory to tell your weight, you can let us know what's on your mind, your latest WOW moments or your latest struggles. I think you can tell from what is posted lately, we ALL have struggles. This is NOT easy. Surgery was not a miracle cure for all our food issues. I mess us DAILY and I'm scared that I won't be able to keep my weight down. I need all the help I can get here!!! Please come out of your hiding places! We all need support and we miss those of you who are not here. I miss Shawn's regular posts. I miss Christy's. We heard from Kimberly recently and understand she's planning a wedding! We heard from Phyllis and we heard from Kim this week. Where's Deb? How is your SIL? And, Deidre, how is your sister? We haven't heard from Alan lately. Or Chilly from the UK. Wanda, Valorie, Trudy, Kim - are there members you have wondered about? Hopefully, we will hear from Britt soon. If you are reading, Britt, we miss you! CeCe

Great to hear from you, Chily!!! Just don't think we're going to feel sorry for you while you travel all over the world - Milan, Dubai, Bermuda, etc!!! WOW! Travel like that is worth a plateau. Congrats on maintaining! I would be gaining in such cir****tances! CeCe

Sorry I'm a day late It was Monday from hell and it isn't looking too much better today. My SIL is doing great and got to go home on Friday they were down at the Mayo for 38 days. I'm still struggling to get back to my swimming and exercising. Too much stuff going on. My eating is absolutely out of control. So my goals for the rest of this week is be very concious of what I'm eating and exercise. Beginning weight 298.5 Last week: 156.2 this week: 158.2 Gain of 2.0 Lbs Total loss 140.3 BMI 28.9 I did drop a size while I was gone and had to go and rebuy some of the summer clothes I'd bought at least I hadn't taken the tags off anything. Everyone have a fabulous week. Deb

You dropped a whole size! How cool! Wanda

Deb, Congrats on the new smaller size!!! I'm glad you had not taken the tags off so you can exchange everything! Good to hear from you. That 2 pounds will be gone soon. CeCe

Hi everyone, my weekend kinda sucked! I had to work saturday and it rained most of the day Sunday, so I didn't get a chance to go out and walk at all. I was supposed to take my brother out for a walk, because he can't go out by himself yet. He's still using a walker to get around but is doing very well. I really have to get back to exercising. As far as food planning goes, I really should, but never do. I just have never been that organized. Maybe someday. Beginning Weight: 349 Last Week: 184 This Week: 184 Gain: 0 Total Loss: 165 Have a great week, Phyllis

Phyllis, Good to hear from you. Hey, maintaining is success! How often did we maintain in the past?! Planning is difficult for me too. I have the best intentions but I procrastinate! CeCe

Opps... Log in on the wrong week... see last week for why I haven't posted... LOL... So Sorry.... I was on VACA with my 9 yr. old..... HUGS, Shawn M.

Oh, Shawn, I've always wanted to go there!!! I'm sure if you were on a school trip you didn't stay in that wonderful hotel, did you? My husband's favorite movie is "Somewhere In Time" and I was just thinking yesterday of surprising him with a trip to that hotel next year! CeCe
