Monday Morning Weigh In

FOUR MORE DAYS!!!! I'm soooooo ready to get out of here and get home! I can't seem to get the eating and weight thing under control and it's REALLY starting to worry me. I expect that this week will be VERY different, cuz I'm going to be busier than a one-armed man in a paper-hanging contest! ReloCubes will be delivered tomorrow, I'm going to load most of the boxes myself, so I'll be crazier than usual. Got the wheels of my handcart pumped up and I'm ready to go!!! By this time next week, I be in Sweet Home TEXAS!!!

So tell us...how are YOU doing??
Here we go.. Jump on the HAG  , record those digits and let us know how you are doing...Losses or gains, all results welcome here.  Y'all have a great day!  I refuse to give up or give in! 

Highest weight: 252
Surgery weight: 238
Weight last week: 150.1
Today's Weight: 152.3
Weight Gain/Loss: +2.2lbs (and I am one UNHAPPY camper)
I've put back almost 11lbs since the beginning of the year and I'm PO'ed!!!!! 

Well I weighed this morning and I continue to stay between 135-137 BUT I want 127 and I'm ready (I think) to recommit.  Life has been tough for many of us hence the darn stress eating and not doing what we KNOW to do.

Consult Weight:  260.5
Surgery weight:  239.8
Lowest weight:  119 (too low)
Comfortable weight:  125-127
Today:  135.4

It really does seem like life is "iffy" for a lot of us right now. I could say it's been like a steamroller or snowball rolling downhill, or several other platitudes, but basically it's been just sucky!!! I know what you mean about not doing what we KNOW to do, it's just too damned difficult right now. I have to get my head screwed on straight before I can work on the rest of it and I don't think I can do that until I get outta here and back on "home turf". It'll come, I can do it, and will. I won't give up!!!!!

I'm not doing well at all.  So much going on in my life.  I like being about 150-152.  Well this morning I was 158.  I have to stop this before it gets WAY out of control.  I hate that I have gained but I have the SCREW IT mentality lately.  I'm just tired.

Many of us seem to be going through similar things right now. It's hard to break out of that downhill spiral, and like you...I am just tired. One of the reasons we have OH is to support each other and help one another re-establish the good and kick the bad habits out of our eating. I know I am seeing the comfort of my old friend food and I can't let myself get any more out of control.  

I think Dana ha**** the nail on the head, we need to get back on here and support one another. Let the OH support group do what it was intended... support one another. I know I need all the help I can get right now!!!

Hugs, Mari
 

Highest:  248
Surgery:  233
Last Week:  146.8
Today:  147.8
Weekly loss: +1.0
Total loss:  103 lbs

Grrr......  that's 2 pounds in 2 weeks and the highest I have been since I hit 145.  No mystery where it came from, either.  Eating like crap, working long hours, rebellious teenager at home.......

C'mon Mari - we can do this together!  We have worked too hard to let it slip away !!!!  I know you can't do anything until you get settled back in Texas, but once you do - you and I need to buckle down and get it under control.  And not just us - the other struggling vets, too..........  We need to support each other, kick each other in the hiney and start celebrating small victories again.

Sweetie I'm not letting anything slip away, there has just been too damned much stress the last few months (esp the last month) to keep it under control. I need to get back to a place where I am comfortable, happy (well semi) and healthy.  I can't do it here, I can't even cook!  Pain in the a$$!! Right now I am finishing up the kitchen so when the PODS thingy arrives I can start loading it!  Furniture movers are coming on Thursday! I'm outta here in Friday!!!

Hugs, Mari

Highest/surgery:  263

Last week:  152

Today:  153

Gain/loss for the week:  +1

Total loss:  -110

Still well within my usual bounce.

Good for you! Stay within that bounce!  I'm going to get back into "bouncing" range as soon as I can get out of here and get my life back on track!

Hang in there!
Hugs, Mari

I weighed my self yesterday on two different scales and I have officially lost 100 lbs since the start of my journey. I just weighed my self one more time to verify still shows that I have lost a 100 lbs. Last week I had a meeting at another office at work and people could not believe how different I look at just 8 months out from my surgery. Many peole said I did not look that much overweight I am a big boned individual but even I could the weight I was at was unhealthy and surgery was the best decision. I still have roughly 40 more lbs to go and that is going to be the battle to reach that goal before my one year surgery anniversary.
