***Tuesday Weekly Weigh-In*** 7/24/07

This is my first time for the weekly weigh in so I will just post my CW and then do LW next week HW/SW: 343 CW: 197 I started at 24 bottoms (probably would have been a higher size but everything was always stretchy), 24/3X top. I am now in a 14 bottom and L/XL top. I am not sure of a dream size. Probably around a 6/8

Wow you have just done incredible with your weight loss.. congratulations, you must feel like a totally different/new person! OUTSTANDING, keep up the great work. I also dream of a size 6/8, just like Molly wears!

Wow! Everyone is doing so well. I feel like a slug. Really trying not to let it get me down. It is another 6 weeks until I go back to the Nut, but I am really starting to feel like I am doing something really wrong. HW: 246 SW: 246 CW: 188 Down 2 pounds after gaining 3 last week

I know it is hard not to compare yourself to others regarding these numbers but honestly, you are doing great! You may have physiology like my mom...she can be the best dieter around and her body just hates to give up any of those fat cells. Look how far you have come, though. It is so wonderful to have our surgical tools in place to keep us going even when we get tired or discouraged. Hang in there, you had surgery and you WILL keep losing. Post your daily food logs here with us too, that helps keep a person on track too. Hugs! Molly

Hello All HW: 291 SW: 239 LW:158 TW: 161 i gain a week before my monthly this is my week POOH! 3 lb gain this week Before I wore a 26/28w depending on the pants and same in shirts really I held alot of my weight in my stomach .. I looked due anyday everyday. I am now in a L/xl shirt and 10's & 12's and 13 misses bottoms. I even wear some 9/10 bottoms depends on the cut of them all weird but i am so happy about my loss although i have been floating in the 160's for 2.5 months really. ooh my hope size would be maybe where i am now. although i would like to be at surgeons goal of 150 congrats on the positive pg test keep us informed I have a hope for a child one day!

Yes ditto what Molly said, we all have stalls along the way some of mine have lasted several weeks and it can get very frustrating, I have heard that this is one of the prime times to stall at 7-8 months out so hang in there.

HW: 261 SW: 261 LW: 169 CW: 164 I was wearing a size 26 pants and xxxl tops. I am now in L tops and size 12 pants.

You are doing fantastic!! How does if feel to be in the mid almost low 160's? I bet like a million bucks! You had a great drop last week, 5 lbs!!! Yeehaw! For being this far out that is almost unheard of at your little weight! Great job!

I have never anyone speaking of me and using the words "little weight" together in the same sentence before. lol Thanks I am just such a stubborn and determined person that I always have to go above the norm on anything I do. Gets me into trouble sometimes.

Forgot to answer the last question...what size do I dream of being in. I am struggling a little with that one. The closer I get to my goal the more I feel it is not enough. Feeling a little concerned about this. I don't think I will recognize when I am thin enough or too thin.
