Weighin' In...

Hey, Gang... It's OUR favorite day again!!!!  HeHeHe
Since I've been such a stinker lately, I'm putting it out there early.  My weight is OK.
Still bouncing between a small range of Lbs.  Having to increase my calories to keep the Lbs has made for a lot of "what's the best choice" tension; facing the food demons... 

HW: 332+
SW: 274
Lowest Weight: 128.5
Last posted Wt: 129.5 on Aug. 21
...then some bouncing... 130.5 - 132.5 - 129.5 - 130.5 - 132.5  (Keep Away from the Scale!)
CW: 132.5

If you can stand it... here's my monthly caloric intake averages:
January: 1024
February: 1082
March: 1071
April: 1264
May: 1637
June: 1756
July: 1943 (w/ 2 week vacation)
August: 1867
1st Week in Sept: 1977

Well... my "concern" was undoing all of the good eating (restraint) of the past year just to maintain the 4 Lb regain  (lowest to current), which has been a mind-bender!  I've nearly doubled my calories... something I had planned to avoid, since the "original game plan" was to get used to eating around 1100 calories to maintain for "LIFE"!  

Everyone is different, but we do share a common bond and mission:  "Fighting Obesity" 

 

Wednesday is my fav. day of the week just not the weighing in part.   Here goes, I'm ticked:

HW: 268
SW: 230
LW: 143
CW: 143   GRRRRRR!   I got down to 142 over the weekend and then back up. 

And this is AFTER having the flu/food poisoning.  Well, I haven't exercised except for at work so I guess that is the problem.  You know, I am thinking of temporarily abandoning my beloved treadmill (which needs dusting, frankly) and going back to my cheapie little stair stepper that was my first-year companion.  Maybe that'd recharge me a bit exercise-wise.  What do you think?

Good luck tomorrow on your scan, hope it shows good things!

Thanks, Molly!  I'm prepping the ol' tubes now with Phillips gel caps... I want the scan to show good things (not everything... if you get my drift).  The only thing that I have to do is not eat for 4 hours prior to arriving 1 hour early... to drink the weird concoction that help with the contrast. When they release the contrast into your system, there is a rapid warming sensation that ends at your... 'ER.... you know!  The assistant forewarned me that no matter how much I might think that I just WET myself... it won't happen.  Some people get all flustered and move around when they think that they are "GOING" that the assistant now tells them "IT AIN'T SO"! in advance.  I got a good chuckle, but when the feeling happened... I was glad that I knew... and didn't wiggle!

What do you think that you ate that made you feel ill?

I still like your idea of posting the "best / lowest" weight of the week to change things-up a bit!
Say one month reprieve on the same ol' .... just use the lowest #... and take that time to refocus on meal planning and exercise again.  Glad to hear that you are ready to MOVE again!

hi everyone,

HW/SW--225
lowest weight ever post surgery--116 (sometime in march of this year--boy, did being size zero feel good:)
last week--something like 135-137 (had pms, was bloated like a baloon)
yesterday (wed)--130.5
today (thursday) 128.5---whoo hoo--still 13.5 lbs to go to personal goal but at least i'm back in the 120s

height-5'4

Congrats & Whoo Hoo on being able to drop the pounds in the 120's!!!   At 5'4", you must look fantastic!  From earlier pics it was evident that you probably won't need any PS, which is great!  You must be very happy...  Keep those size -0- ... You'll be in them again soon!   
It's so great to know that Lbs can still be lost this far out post-op.
