Good Morning - Wacky Weigh-In Wednesday Edition!

No sign of J posting so far this morning so I guess I will start the thread today. Happy Wacky Weigh-In Wednesday Cali Crew!        Yep it's that time of the week and I'm sure most of you know the routine by now, yes? Step u*****t, share your loss or gain, how the clothes are fitting, WOW moments and/or challenges... whatever works for you to be accountable and keep focused on your WLS lifestyle. Just be sure to post THIS WEEKS pounds lost or gained somewhere in your post as I am tracking our progress for the big year end reveal! I'll start it off with a loss of 4 pounds this week, putting me at 200 pounds 82 weeks after surgery. Highest weight in August of 2006 was 436, 409 the day of surgery and 200 now. Quite a change for me. I figure the loss this week is partially explained by working in the garden all day Sunday.... and not eating a thing until dinner. Bad Bear. And the cold I now have which is dulling my appetite. But I have to say I think I am at my WL place these days. Looking at my chart I have been staying right around 200 - 205 for the past 6 weeks. It's all good. Next please! Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone! It nice that it cooled off some isn't it?      

Morning Steve . . . and I have no change again this week.  I've stepped up my exercise, am behaving with what I'm eating  . . . and here I still sit.  That's OK because eventually, it HAS to change - and I'm so much better off than I was 6 months ago! Have a great day everyone! Chris

Hi Steve and crew   I am down 1 lb - but after a week of up 1 down one up one down one I am back to my current low of 131 lbs lost since surgery 10 mos ago.  The heat did a number on me with the scale - I HATE water weight and bloating - yuck. Plus I don't think I have been eating enough - the heat just makes it harder for me... But now that the weather is cooler I hope to get back to more exercise, get back to eating regularly and get to the next goal of onderland.....only 10 lbs to go.... Everyone have a great day

Good morning Steve and Cali and happy Hump day! I am weighing the same today as last week (I think). Since I've been maintaining and just fluxuating the same 3 or 4 pounds it's been hard to remember from week to week. Also, since I'm not trying to continue to lose I'm very happy with where I am at.  In the back of my mind, I would like to lose 5 more pounds just see what it looks like, then I want to put them back on because I truely am comfortable where I am. As the Jenny Craig commercial says "I'm my ideal size" LOL Here's to a great day Cali! It's cooled off on the coast but some of you others are still cookin! Drink tha****er. Sue

Imagine....I slept the night gang!!! I was out last night getting tattoo's with friends....total spur of the moment and I was tired anyways...so when I got home around 10....I think I might have answered a post or two and then crashed. I had my bellybutton around tatttooed....I missed the beautiful dragon fly on my arm that I had removed....and although these do not compare....I always wanted to do this...didn't hurt too much as I am very numb in some areas from having my bb moved 4 times.

these are much more whimsical..and that is fine.

I am on a hold for this week for my weight...seriously to the ounce....that is okay too....I just keep doing what I am doing and I know my body will settle where it wants to. All I know is that I feel really good physically with my food and mentally about what I have done...well woohoo is all I can say!

Thanks for all of you who have asked about my hand..it is doing better, but there are still thorns in there that are going to have to work their way out....last time I got thorns in my hand from doing yard work, it took a month for them to get out! YIKES!!!

 

Have a great day everyone and Steve...thanks for starting the thread!!!

  

Hey Big LITTLE bear.... I am down 5 lbs since last week.  THANK GOD!  Hope to see the scale keep moving in the right direction.  Been taking some new steps to try to achieve that...so, we shall see.  hope you all have a great day!

WOOHOO Vicki...must have something to do with those marital aids from the Mystery Box.....burn then calories girl! You are doing GREAT Vicki!  

Thanks J~ Lovely tattoo, BTW.  I sooooo want another one!!  Can you make it to the lunch this weekend?? hugs to you!

Good morning Steve and Cali, I decided to take a page from Janine's book and get back on track for real.  I decided to start with food and then see how I could incorporate exercise.  Well monday started off great until dinner when I decided to have a small amount of grits as I had been craving them.  Can we say stuck.  So I have spent 24 hours in writhing pain.  I had to have my mom take care of the baby.  It was horrific.   Having said that since sunday I am down 4lbs maybe more I don't remember the ounces.  Fridays will be my official weigh in and I don't think it will all stay off once I allow myself solids again but we will see. Everyone enjoy the day Monica
