Weekly weigh In here!

Good Morning!  I must confess that this week is the worst, most embarrassing week for me to publicly post my weigh in.  So......if I CAN DO IT, then no one else has any excuse! LOL  Who runs a 1/2 marathon and gains weight?! Crazy!  I'm hoping most of this is water and I guess its time to stop carb loading! LOL

Last week:  169
Today:        174

Difference  +5  HOLY COW! 

Good Morning All!!

Last week: 153.3
Today: 154.1

Gaol: 145

At least I'm not the only one up this week! ha ha!!  That's okay, we will kick but on next Tuesday weigh in. Besides, you are sooooo close to your goal!  Let's get the last 9 lbs off girl so you can be done with this!  I know you can do it!

yes! the last nine lbs....woohoo! They just keep sticking to me...but I am working on em.

DF,
It is probably increased muscle mass from all of your hard work! Congratulations on finishing your race, exercising so enthusiasticly, being a great role model for wls winners, and especially for surviving 15 years ago. You are a blessing to many of us.

Last Week: 154
Today: 151.5
Goal: 128
??????
This goal weight is my choice; it is in the upper range of "normal" for my height (5'1"). My surgeon hasn't given me a goal and my pcp was overjoyed 30# ago. How did others settle on their goals? One site suggested 105# as an "ideal" weight for me. While I am short, I have average hands, feet, etc for my height. Am I using that as an excuse and setting my goal too high? Will I intuitively know when I hit a weight that feels healthy for me? (At 55, healthy is my main goal, not model thin.) Some of my truly loving, caring family & friends are worried that I will go too far; they all seem to know someone who did. I'm worried that I might sell myself short and have assured my favorite aunt that I won't turn into a parody of an aging sex kitten.

Sorry for highjacking the thread, but I would appreciate some input. Thanks again, DF for starting the weigh in.

Thanks for start this.

I think all of us have had friends and family express concern over losing too much.  They have a hard time adjusting to how we look and at times during our loss our faces can look a bit scary.  I keep changing my goal as I go.  The life insurance chart says 144 but personally I think 150 would be awesome and 160 would be maintainable.  But the closer I get to 160 the more I think of 150.  Basically, I don't know how to answer the goal question.  I think we each figure it out as we get there.

Great job on your weight loss this week!!!  You pulled a big number and you are really getting down there so that is awesome!!

 Hi, Amy,
I only weigh at doctor's offices so my last weight was 265.  I go to Journey next week and will weigh there.  My goal is to be healthy so I'm not sure what my weight should be.  I went to the gym tonight and pumped tin (the weights I used don't qualify for iron).

Also, I saved the marathon section from the paper yesterday that had your interview in it.  Would you like it?  You looked fantastic.  I didn't see you but I was marshaling at mile marker 11 and there was a guy running at 7:00 a.m. in a kilt and no shirt.  I have no idea what else he wasn't wearing.  How on earth do you runners stay warm?

Hey Donna!  I remember mile 11, that is when I thought I would die! LOL  Thanks for the encouragement.  My proud husband bought about 5 papers! LOL  The crazy thing is that I think I know the guy in the kilt.  It is the husband of someone my hubby works with.  weird if you ask me!
