Wednesday Weigh In

Highest (around a month before surgery)-358
SW-338
Lowest-240
Last week-254
Current-250 (I was at 249 Sunday and today it said 249)

Well it is heading in the right direction. I am trying at making better choices and it is showing now I just need to get back to the Gym.

2 Questions
Anyone watch Biggest Loser and does it motivate you?
I love love love that show and it does motivate me and make me want to excerse and make better choices.

Who would you want for your trainer?
Jullian as I think she is what I need. When I was going to the gym I could hear her yelling move move it and it made me stay on a little longer. I want to get her excerse Wii game as we just got a Wii fit.  She needs to make me cry or throw up from working so hard

Hugs

Diana... Congrats on this week's Big LOSS!

My scale battery is dying and not in a good way.  Stepping on it just made it go blank several times.  Finally,  it read 119!  I knew that it was just an error.  Now having a camera would have been hysterical because I haven't weighed that little since elementary or middle school; middle school... I think.  Anyway... 128.5 showed twice after several more blank errors.

No Trainer for me (Lazy Person here)

PS:  Special Gift... Duracell Battery for my scale... (make-up attempt???)... Hey, Whatever...
my scale is working again!

WELP GANG I'VE HAD ANOTHER TOUGH WEEK.  I JUST CAN NOT SEEM TO STOP THE GRAZING.  I DID GO TO THE GYM ABOUT 3 TIMES BUT THAT IS THE ONLY POSSITIVE THING I HAVE DONE.

I HAVE BEEN EATING UNTIL MY STOMACHE HURTS, I AM SCARED TO DEATH I AM GOING TO STRETCH MY POUCH OUT. 

I TELL YOU ALL I CAN CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND HOW A PERSON STARTS SMOKING, DRINKING, DRUGS OR SHOOT ANYTHING ELSE TO TRY NOT TO EAT CAUSE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DRIVING ME INSANE THAT IS ALL I THINK ABOUT IS OH NO I'VE EAT THIS AND I'VE EAT THAT BUT TO STOP THE STUPID INSANITY IS SOMETHING I CAN'T SEEM TO DO.

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING TO SEE A PHYCYATRIST BEFORE BUT HAVEN'T DONE IT, I MAY HAVE TO END UP DOING THAT ANYWAY.

PRAYING FOR A BETTER WEEK FOR US ALL
MINI ME

Mini Me....   What's going on????     

Time for an Intervention!!!  Post directly to the Gang... It's the only way to really get the message out to everyone...

At this point, your pouch is can hold about 1.5 cups of food, but you are probably filling-up your intestine, which is adding to your discomfort.   I don't think that there is a major chance of stretching your pouch, but regain is almost a guaranteed thing based on your eating habits.

Find a new addiction... behavior...  whatever you want to call it.... just make it a safe, healthy one.
Easier said than done, Right?  

Can you pre-portion and only eat with someone in the room, who will keep your goal in mind?
DH???  

Therapy or Over-eaters Anonymous might help you too.

Hoping to see your POST!
  Ro

Aw, hugs Melissa...I hope your bad week has gotten a little better as it has gone along.  {{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}

The psychiatrist is a great idea and I wish I could go to one too.  Seems like my relationship with food and emotions will never ever be right.  Why in the world does it have such a death grip over our self-esteem? 

I agree with Ro, you probably aren't stretching your pouch but overfilling your intestines.  I do that a lot on those uber-munchie days.  Especially since I gravitate towards higher fiber things that will allow me to just keep on going...popcorn, fruits, etc.  There's no way I could be a grand overeater if all that was available was chicken breasts.

Hang in there and stop mentally beating up my Mini Me pal, ok?  I would never let anybody say the mean things to you that you are saying yourself, just remember that and tone it down when you are busy being hard on yourself.  I try to keep you and everybody here in mind when I tend to slip into those negative thoughts.  You'd never be that mean to me so I try not to either.  So you too, ok?  HUGS!!!!

Thank you so much for everything.  Yea I have always been the type of person who worries about everything and don't have a whole lot of confidence in myself but I will try to do better.

I reckon I'll always have to work on that like my eating.  Man so many things to keep going LOL

Blessings

I have been floating around this weight for like 6 weeks.  Would love to say I weigh 169 just cause it is in the 160's but it ain't permanent.  Oh well.  I keep trudgin' along.

I LUV Biggest loser...funny as a pre-op I never watched...now I can't go without it and even give up some of my other favorite shows on that night to see it (House-but I can always see that in re-runs).

Trainer:  I think I would have to have Jillian kick my a$$.  Bob is too HOT and I think he would be a serious distraction for me.  As much as I would like to lose some water weight by drooling after him LOL.

I did not start the exercise thing until the end of June this year.  I so slacked before that.  Once in a while I would try the treadmill for a day or two and then give up for months...you know that cycle.  Everyone kept saying to do something you enjoy, but when you are a person who has NEVER enjoyed any kind of exersion that is diffficult to do.  Finally when I bought a used elliptical ($75 vs new at $1000 plus) I went for it.  Can't say I am in love but it sure as heck is better than that treadmill!  I think it also helps that it is in th DR/LR area so I can see everything.

Hi Diana,
Congrats on the great loss this week!  Woot woot!!! 

Wacko week for me and no time to post on Wed or Thurs.  I did weigh in though (well, I do every day!) so at least I can post what it was.

Can'****ch Biggest Loser and most good tv because I have so much to do in the evenings before going to bed so early.  No Tivo in my house.  Don't know if it would motivate me or not.  Sometimes I watch weight-loss type shows on Discovery Health on the weekends and they don't always do much for me. 

If I could have a personal trainer that would be awesome!!!  My daughter is majoring in exercise kiniology (sp?) with a double major in science (don't know if I have that right...she is just declaring it today) she wants to be a personal trainer and nutrition therapist for sports-related concerns.  I'd love, love, love it if she'd be my trainer.  She could kick my butt like no one else and would probably know just how to get past any excuses I might throw out there.    She is very upbeat, positive and perky and I always gravitate towards that type of person so it'd be a good personality fit.  What are the trainers like on Biggest Loser?  If it was someone trying to motivate by bullying or belittling it wouldn't work for me.  It'd be too easy to make me cry and then I'd give up. 

Keep making those great choices and have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Molly
