I really should participate here... I've ALWAYS had a love/hate relationship with my scale (love it when it shows a loss, hate it the rest of the time). I know I need to get on it more than once a month to stay on track - I LOVE to see losses! The problem is, if I don't get on it again for 3 weeks, well, chances are I'm still congratulating myself on the previous loss with crap I really shouldn't be eating, and then I'm back to HATING my scale - and I don't get on it again for a very long time.
I haven't gotten on it since before Christmas, so for today, I'll just share what I know:
Starting weight: 377
Lowest weight: 209
Last known weight: 227
Gentlemen, START YOUR ENGINES! I have YET to see ONEderland - THAT is my ultimate goal. I'm a big girl, 5'11", so I don't know what's realistic for me, but I really want to see that "1"!!

Shoot. I ended up skipping it because I thought no one was going to be there. Can someone hook me up with a link to the Facebook page too?

Count me in too. I've been struggling with my eating for close to a year now. For those of you who are newly post-op...ADVICE...it's so easy for the first 1-2 years. I can now eat almost anything I want and I don't dump very much anymore and when I do dump, it's very minor. Try to avoid the trigger foods you have and try not to get new trigger foods.
OK, off the soapbox...
Highest 265
Last week 155
This week 156.5
Goal of 145
(my lowest was 129, but my lowest maintaining weight was 135 .. too low for me, I was too bony so I've revised my goal to 145)

I just have to say- day 2 of just liquids here and it's so much easier than pre-op. I guess my hunger is just than much less now. I feel like this is really going to help me cut out the snacking/grazing/midless eating. Time will tell.

Marsha,
I would love to. I've been looking into to attending meetings, but the closest one is almost 30 miles away from me. I can't afford to drive it each week. I don't want to do the online because there's no accountability. I need to be accountable. Can you send me the website and any other info you have?
It's been a long time. I'm up some too, about 25lbs. My friends keep reminding me how far I'm still down. But I want to lose at least 10 so my clothes fit without leaving marks!! My weight today was 156.5. My goal is 145.
I'd like to do this as long as we hold each other accountable and can email each other tips, recipes, ideas, encouragement, etc. Feel free to call me any time you need someone to chat with so you don't eat...I'll email you my number after we connect.
Thanks for doing this...

Welcome to our new posters--yay! Hopefully we can all support and encourage each other.
I like the idea of the 5-day pouch test--I saw that some of you are doing that. Seems like a good idea to get back to the basics and clean out our systems of the toxins we put into them. I'm not going to do it myself right now, but I'm keeping it on the possibility list. I think I can accomplish what I need to do by "detoxifying" my house and cutting out the sweets.
Keep us posted!

Topic: trying weigh****chers points
I am going to try to do the weigh****chers points. I didn't sign up for anything or commit to anything like that. My husband had found this site and has tons of recipes.......I think beings I have gained as much as I did this will help better than doing the pouch test, or liquid diets, and what not. The more I tell myself no too something the more I want it, with this I will not eat my breads, chips, crackers, rice, noodles, the stuff I shouldn't eat I'm not gonna eat.......
I am alot to blame I bring the **** into the house for my boys, and hubby. I have heard a few times we can still eat it then I feel guilty and buy it and keep buying it. Sometimes I feel why bother.......
Getting back to the points system I am really excited about this, first time in a long time I am excited.
I have given up my beer, and decided I need to find something else to make me feel good and happy, and I think finding the new me again is the ticket.
I hope you all have a good week........If anyone wants to do the points system with me let me know.
Marsha

Ok, in the spirit of trying to get back on track, I will post. Maybe seeing it on the screen will kick start this process.
Highest 270
Lowest 143
Current 178 (7 weeks post IVF baby)
I want to do a pouch test and go back to basics from post op diet, but will have to do some research on that and breastfeeding. I am setting my goal weight at 150-155 now.
