Monday Morning Weigh In

I know you're trying to gain a pound or two, it's gotta be hard when you have focused on losing weight over the past few years.  Hang in there, hunny, You'll get there!

Hugs, Mari

I gotta tell ya, it is really weird being on this end of the spectrum! My Doc actually suggested milkshakes!!! My boss said to fatten up and get back to work!(she and I have known each other a long time and she said it with care not to be nasty!).

Nauzene has really helped with the nausea. Thanks Liz. Steph the Emetrol made me throw up! Weird huh, but just like me to be weird.

Thanks to you all for your love and support I would have never made it this far without all of you!

Corina, listen to these ladies! Thay know for which they speak! You are not a failure!! You rock. You have so much strength of character! You are so much more in tune to yourself than most women your age and I personally am very impressed with your strength! I wish I could have had the your courage when I was that age then maybe I wouldn't be where I am now!! Hang in there 59lbs is awesome!!!!

George hope your sholder(crap, how do you spell that??) feels better. Alyssa stay OFF that foot and let it heal. Look for shows on the animal planet and the History channel - really interesting stufff they are showing. I don****ch the food channel much some of the shows make me nauseous!! Charlene, don't know where you are hiding but I hope you foot is healing well also!!

Can't wait to see yall on Sat at Los Vaqueros!! I will rest all day so I can stay awhile but know I wont make any after parties!!

Lovr yall

A very bad week for me.  I am really bummed.  Had another steroid shot, and boy does it show.  This week I will have an MRI and it will be decided if I need surgery on my shoulder.  Regardless, I will not be getting another steroid shot.  It ain't worth it.

Highest weight: 360
Surgery weight: 335 or so
Weight last week: 224.5
Today's Weight: 230.0
Weight Gain/Loss for the week:  +5.5 lbs 
Total weight loss: 130.0 lbs

Are you having rotator cuff issues? I must have missed this somewhere or another.  I hate Steroid injections...they make me feel funky and I hate the water I retain and the weight that comes with it!  I hope you get good news and no surgery, but if you have to, you have to!  I did it, with all the PT that came with it.  Blech!!!  Will be keeping you in my prayers, George!

Hugs, Mari

Yep, rotator cuff.  If I need surgery, I need surgery.  But I am not getting any more steroid shots.

I don't want to even talk about it!!! I have regained 15 lbs.  No matter what I do the scale will not go in a downward motion.  I have been this way for about 6 months now.  For the last 6 weeks I have been doing Weigh****chers very very faithfully and NOTHING!!  It is very upsetting and can't get the "HAG" going in the right direction.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sheila, I'm so sorry to hear about your regain.  Only suggestion I have is to log your food and see where your calorie count and protein percentage lies.  I know if I'm over 1200 calories in a day I gain, 1000-1200 I maintain and less than 1000 I lose.  I would do that for the next week or two and see what it shows you.

I'm glad Steph jumped in to help out on this one...She's farther out and has more experience than I, plus she does dole out some really good advice!!!  Good Luck!  Come back and play with us often, maybe we can help!  If nothing else, good support and talking about it does seem to help! The folks who post here can possibly give you a different perspective on things, who knows....All we can do is keep moving forward! 

Hugs, Mari

((((Shelia)))) good to see you posting sweetie.  Ok, I can't seem to get a gripe on my eating and losing isn't near as "easy" as it was before.  I DO believe the hysterectomy and hormone imbalance crap will affect us, hopefully only temporary.

Are you logging your intake?  Try for a day or two and see what happens.  I know with Weigh****chers there are several veggies that are "free" you might try eating them IF you need to eat.

Hang in there honey.

Blah, blah, blah.....remember those 7 lbs I wanted to lose!  I added 1.5 to it this week. 

I did great today though, I'm on a detox of sugar and carbs (not carb free) and today went well.  Now to work on getting my water in, oy.
