Weigh in Wednesday!!

Ok...so I'm excited!! That and I had a free minute while Sydnie was asleep. My eating this week has been "weird". There's no other way to describe it. Some days I feel like eating nothing at all (and barely did) and other days, like yesterday, I felt like I couldn't get enough. Well...something worked because I FINALLY had a loss. Maybe it was shocking my system, I don't know. But I am thankful and newly motivated to make smart(er) choices. HW: 265 SW: 240 LW: 179 CW: 176 (could be 176.5 or 177 even, I don't have a digital scale, but it looks like 176 to me) How did everyone else do??

Good Morning Dec Babies Mom!!!! I am so happy for you,,,keep up the good work and all the extra weight will continue to melt away. My eats are horrible sometimes too but most of the time I make much, much better choices. I gained 1.5 Lbs this week but that completly fine with me b/c I rather gain a few that loose a few(as long as I stay below 180 I am ok with gaining). So here are my numbers for the week: SW: 320 LW: 174.5 CW: 176 Have a great day!!!! Beatriz

Ok..I'm SO taking in your picture when I go for a plastics consult. Say...I want to look like HER. Do you think maybe they could add a few inches to my height as well?? You look AMAZING!!! So fit looking...that's how I want to look. I think once I'm at goal (or below) I'll feel the same way. Sometimes I WISH I had the problem of losing too much/fast but then I think, it might actually be too scary. So, I guess I'll be happy with what I have...no sense fretting over it, right??

highest/surgery weight: 225 last week-can't remember exactly but the scale had been fluctuating like crazy and went up as high as 127 3 or 4 days ago. i paniced a little bit because 124.5 is my highest weight before i start freaking out about regain. anyway, today i'm back to 121 (giant sign of relief). must be the pms munchies, retaining water or whatever because i KNOW losing 6lbs in 3-4 days without starving myseld meant that it was not "real" weight ...what do you guys think

I think you've done amazing!! That's what I think. 121?? Do you mind me asking how tall you are?? I'm trying to set a realistic/reasonable goal for myself. I *thought* I looked healthy (not too thin, not too thick) at 125, but now I'm thinking that's still too much.

Shawneena, I think you have done absolutely greay too and i also want a baby so bad someday soon (just got to find a deserving significiant other first anyway, to answer you?, i'm 5'4 so anywhere btw. 115 and 125 is when i look and feel my persona best. love, natalie

Thannk you so much for all the nice compliments...I am starting to belive them and my self esteem is rising....

Hey all had a pretty good week but today my visitor came so I will probably have a gain this coming week anyway life does go on right? Hw: 340 sw: 330 lw: 189 cw: 186 blessings mini me

Go Mini Me!!! Congrats on the loss!

Hi Shawn! You are doing great!!!!!! Oh, glad you got my card, it wasn't much but I hope every little bit helps some! As for my stats I am still no where near where I wanna be... between my ways of eating last weekend and this week with PMS, starting a new class at the Y that incoporates HEAVY strength training.. I am just bloated up BIG time.. I can't even bend my fingers well.. ugh. I am doing liquids for a couple days to rid some of this water weight I must be holding onto! Wish me luck.. HW:328 SW:280 LW: 142 something CW: 142-143 Still holding on there.. I did lose a few but then PMS came and back up i went.. argh! This class I joined includes a "biggest loser" portion. They weigh us weekly, took our measurements on the first class and will repeat it at the end of 6 weeks. I told them I wanted to lose 17 lbs (I weighed in at 147 with shoes on and with clothes at night after drinking/working out). I want 130, they were all shocked. I said well, I have gained some and I am not happy about it.. they all think im nuts and think I look fine. I appreciate that but I know I am up and feel it.. BLOATED feeling.. I have been kicking butt hard in the gym tho and those sore muscles are screaming today. My 5k is saturday, wishing I wasn't up so much for my run but it is what it is.. yes I am hard on myself but I am pretty disgusted right now. Keep up the good work.. You are doing very well!!! Thanks for inspiring me.. now its time for me to buckle down hard. i need to.. for me and for my loser team There is another fella on the team that had bypass surgery so its kinda cool. He can't eat anything but cottage cheese and peanuts for protein (hates the drinks and bars and pukes up any meat.. yikes!) I told him I never puked.. his face was just astonished looking.. i can't imagine living like him.. yet he has gained 50 lbs.. goes to show doesn't matter so much of what your pouch is like. you can find calories one way or another.. I hate to say it but it is a "diet" forever.. at least in my eyes.
