wed. weigh-in
HW/SW-225, height 5'4
lowest weight ever (1 day this March when I had a really bad flu---116)
surgeon's goal 144 or anything under (baiscally, just anything normal bmi)
my personal "dream" goal 115lbs --bmi around 19 or so--came within a pound, damn it:)
fighting re-gain update:
last week --143.5
this week--134
very unhappy with the re-gain but very happy with this week's result. goal for next week--to be down at lease another 2-3lbs (i know 9lbs was mostly water weight--i lost 7.5 lbs in one day then it took me another 6 days to lose another 1.5 lbs so i have to be realistic.)
short term goal--be down to low 120s by new years--same weight as i was at last new years. after that--finally reach 115 by the end of January and keep my ever expanding ass under 120 forever (unless or until i get pregnant, of course but that is not something i;m planning for another couple of years).

CW: 168 YeeHawww! Now if I can just keep it up.
What have you been doing to step it up again? I am trying very hard to stay accountable everyday, and, really am okay where I am, but really want the normal BMI! But, I don't want to kill myself to get it either.

Good job on the fight! Keep up the great work.
Too busy this week and tired from being back at work, not good numbers like I'd hoped but at least it isn't a gain.

No progress. Back-to-back potlucks today and tomorrow and then support group Thurs. night...that should help re-energize me.
See you prob. Friday evening.

Diana,
A little word of encouragement and some advice...
I sooo feel for you and the struggle. We have all been there...if you read my Accountability yesterday you'll see I was fighting with stupid frosted cookies that I finally had to destroy.
I know early on we are all told to stay off the scale because it can be so frustrating not to see it move when we all know early on it has no choice but to move. But, as far out as we are it is a daily struggle to get it to move. I may make it seem easy but it is far from that for me. I fight it every day. At my one year appointment my surgeon suggested weighing once a day everyday just before getting in the shower. Contrary to what we were taught early on he likes for us to keep an eye on it and to stay alert.
I have done what he suggested. I have a calendar on the back of the bathroom door and write down every day what I weigh. If I go up a couple of pounds in one day I know it is physically impossible to actually gain that because I know even if I ate 2 frosted cookies I did not eat 7000 or 10, 000 calories (it takes 3500 additional calories to gain a poind). Most likely it is water weight because of the added salt in my bad food or the extra carbs/sugar. In a couple of days I am back to normal.
What I am getting at is this: Instead of avoiding the scale. Embrace it. I know when I weighed 392 pounds #1 there wasn't a home scale that could weigh me but #2 I avoided it because I did not want to see the number. Today, I see that weight everyday. Even if I don't like it becaue it is up, I still get on it again the next day. For me, avoiding it would be too much like my old avoidance tactic and could very easily put me back in my old situation.
Love your scale...even when you hate it because it will keep you honest with yourself.
I hope I did not overstep my bounds and I hope I did not offend you. If I did...just tell me to mind my own biz!

I got on the scale this morning as I can not stay away as it calls me:)
No, everything you said was RIGHT so I am not offended at ALL. I think the calender is a WONDERFUL Idea and I just might have to try that.
I so wanted to be at goal or closer then I am at almost 2 years out but I have NO one but myself to blame!!
Please do not EVER feel that you can not respond to a post of mine..wither I agree or disagree with what you say I still need/want to hear it:)
Hugs!!!!!
