Monday weigh in 4/11
Howdy ya'll!
Well the scale has been stuck for me for almost this last week. It was TOM so it went up 2 pounds and stayed there all week! It went back down to 271.0 this morning... sooo close to the 60's!! My next mini goal will be to hit 250 by July. I am hoping I will be able to accomplish this!
We should schedule a get together soon!!!
Happy losing ya'll

Hi!
Nice hearing from you Sarah! Now that TOM isn't standing in your way, things will get back to what they were...and mini-goals will fall one after another!
Last week great weather gave me such an energy boost that I got tons of things done at home..I had fun (bonus!) doing automotive cleaning and maintenance, pool prep (pumping some of the extra water), and some other boring stuff... These days, I'm not really hungry at meal time and skip snacks, wich explains that, this morning, I weighed at 172lbs...A bit under my comfort zone...More fine tuning to do...
Have a good one everyone!

Hi everyone!
I'm back from vacations and actually have been for the last 3 weeks but I told myself I could only come back to the Monday weigh-in when my weight went back to my pre-vacation weight. So here I am! I'm down to 233 lbs, which actually means that I'm not morbidly obese anymore! BMI under 40!! Yay!!
I'm riding my bike to work (it's only 2 km, but I figured it's better than nothing) and I'm starting to feel a bit better and less heavy. My next goal is to be 10% off my initial weight. I really can't wait!
As for my surgery, there's no date yet :-( but I have my appointment for my blood test in May, so I'm guessing it should be soon.
Good job, Sarah! I've been reading your posts and I'm so amazed at how far you've come. You are a true inspiration. You should be very proud of yourself.
Wow, Brenda, 151 lbs?! That's awesome. How does it feel to achieve your healthy weight and be able to keep it?
We all should kick our behinds and go enjoy the weather like you, Joel. Even if it's still not super nice, it's much better than it was!! Reading your post, I got the impression that you are worried that you are losing too much weight. Is that so?!
I hope you all have a great week and keep losing or maintaining according to your goals!

Hi Ana,
That is wonderful news regarding your weightloss. It is a major physical and psychologically milestone. Good for you! and riding your bike for 2km is nothing to baulk at. It is still a struggle for me to exercise everyday. I move everyday but I would be lying to call it daily exercise. I am still having a tough time with knee issues (never had knee problem prior to surgery and wl......go figure that my ol'age would catch up to me after wl. lol. ).
As for your question...I am thrilled to have achieved my goal and then some. I feel very comfortable at this weight and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I can maintain this weight.....although my surgeon did prepare me for a ten pound regain. I still would be in my goal weight with ten pounds extra but honestly I hope I can keep the weight off. I have been up alittle and then I go back down. I am noticing that the last three to four weeks I am hungry more frequently and mostly in the wee hours of the morning. I wake up from my sleep from hunger. This is really the first time since my surgery that I actually feel hunger. I am trying to eat more snacks in between but today I felt hunger every three hours or so. I eat small portions but I am still eating more often. I guess this is where the real challenge will set in. I am quite anxious about it all to be honest. I am trying to take things one day at a time. I kinda knew that this day will come. Everyone talks about it on the boards but when you are losing the weight and when you are still a newbie you can't imagine feeling hunger like you did preop. It is so hard to get food down in the begining. It is a strange feeling to describe but it goes to say this journey is a life long commitment and struggle. I am staying positive despite my anxieties and I have decided to believe in myself. Again, some days are better than others. I will keep posting on Mondays as it is keepin me accountable. I will also have to start keeping an eye on calories if the scale moves but for now I am staying the course with what has worked for me for the last 19 months. I am getting antsy with this late spring arrival. I still have three feet of snow everywhere. Good grief! Cleaning the pool sounds great just about now. LOL.

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for answering my question. As much as I want to reach my goal weight, I'm terrified of not being able to keep it. It must be so weird to have the long forgoten feeling of hunger coming back to haunt you! But one thing is sure: being anxious about it will not help at all. Trust yourself and keep doing whatever you've been doing so far because it's clearly working!
Spring will come, the sun will shine again and soon we'll be complaing it's way too hot!!
Best of luck!
Ana

Hi everyone,
I am glad to see more people active this week here.
Sarah, don`t worry, I am confident that you will reach your 250 by July.
Our maintenance friends are really showing us that you can keep up the weight when you reach your goal. This is, at least for me, a big concern of "what will happend when I am done losing, will I gain it back". So being able to see you guys maintaining is great.
As for me, I had a very good week. I have lost 4.5 lbs. I weighted at 252 lbs this morning. My goal was to be at 250 for my birthday on the April 29, so I am confident that I should be able to reach my mini-goal. Today, I went to the funeral of my uncle, although this was a sad event, I had not seen this side of the family since the beginning of my weight loss journey. It is nice to have people coming to see you amazed about the weight loss.
Have a great week all
Nathalie

Hi Everyone!
I'm glad to see you all doing sooo well. For me, this week was a staal week. I only managed to lose .8 pounds. Dr. Garneau however gave me the green light for going to the gym so the weight should start melting right off this upcoming week. I'm 18 pounds from my goal. Only 18 more days to do it in. I can do this!

Wow Derek that is amazing. You are doing great. Keep up the good work. I told the Dr. I thought I was losing too slow and he replied but you don't have 500 lbs to lose. He shocked me back to reality. I am right on course and my lose is good. So now I am content. I am feeling great. I can eat anything but only 1/2 cup. I eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and make sure to track it and get my protein in. I am tracking on www. sparkpeople.com They break everything down then at the end of the day I print the sheet for my NUT. Will see her on Monday in Fort Colunge. I am feeling great. Doris QC.
