Hi Marge,  I can relate about the walmar****er. I tried the peach this weekendIt was just awful. The cranberry is still my favorite. I loss 4 lbs this week. I haven't loss 4 lbs in one week in about 2 month. I am real happy the scale is moving. I went to the thrift on Friday and bought 5 skirts 4 shirts and 1 dress. All of that for $32. I am so glad I am at a size that I can shop at the thrift. I also bought everything in a size 18 thinking that they would be too small but would fit when I go home in July. THEY ALL FIT!!(WOW moment) I haven't loss many pounds in the last 2 month but I am definitely losing inches, especially since I started working out with weights. I notice the difference in my arms and thighs. I can even flex my muscles. BEGINNING WEIGHT-362(01/13/07) SURGERY WEIGHT-357(01/19/07-the day released from hospital) LAST WEEK-274 THIS WEEK-270

Morning, Marge.  Thanks for starting off the Monday weigh in!  Here's my numbers for the week - Beginning weight:  396 Surgery weight:  386 Two week's ago:  208.9 Today:  209.7 I was on vacation, so was unable to weigh myself last Monday, so am using my weight from two week's ago.  I had gotten at low at 202.9 during the past two weeks, but I ate more than usual during my vacation, so put a few pounds back on.  I'm back to my regular routine now, and am hoping to get close to 200 before I leave for vacation #2 (Williamsburg VA) on 6/23.  Kellie

Good morning everyone.  Happy Monday.  I am starting to just weight myself on Monday mornings now too.  I was getting a little bit obsessed with the scale.  My consultation weight was 440 My weight last Thurs at the doctor was 416 My weight on the scale this morning is about 412 - hard to say for sure until I get small enough to buy a digital scale - the one I have now, with a dial, kind of bounces and technically isn't supposed to go over 400.  I just make sure its bouncing lower I think you guys were right that 800 cal was too low and my body was holding on to the fat, because I've upped my calories to about 1000-1100 and not only do I feel better and concentrate better, I'm seeing a bigger difference on the scale!  Yesterday was one of the first days since I started this pre-op diet where I felt REALLY good.  I had a ton of energy and I didn't think about food constantly or feel that burning hunger.  Thanks!

Hi Everyone! I went shopping this weekend and bought a 2x top ( I started at 4x ) thinking it will fit in a few more weeks, but I tried it on when I got home and it fit now!  A great feeling.  I think the swimming has really helped me as I actually think I look smaller.  I had been depressed about the scale not moving so I stayed off it and joined you on the Monday morning weigh-ins.  Finally it moved and I lost 4 lbs.  Here are my numbers. Highest/Surgery - 359 Last Week - 317 This Week - 313 Lost this week - 4 lbs.

Hi, everyone: Some watermelon bell must have rung throughout the country because we also bough****ermelons at Costco this weekend.  I don't like watermelon (well, I like it OK, I just don't eat it very often), but my sister inhales it.   I feel kind of bummed today.  It's not anything I can really put my finger on, although I have been feeling envious of others lately and general feelings of failure over past actions that I can't go back and do anything about, anyway.  Stupid, I know. Beginning weight: 530 lb Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 254 This week: 251 Kix

Good morning! We had a busy weekend here, relatives in from Kentucky and lots of eating going on!  Hubby got the living room painted by himself on Saturday while I was with the relatives. I'm tired and glad the weekend is over! Too much snacking going on, and I've got to put a stop to it. I was eating watermelon last night ...yummy! We've got what we call "June Gloom" going on it's always cool and overcast in the mornings, and warms to the mid 80's by afternoon.  I did start back a****er aerobics three nights a week last week and love it! Beginning weight-374 Surgery weight-359 Last week- 206 This week- 206  stayed the same this week, but dropped to a size 14/16 in tops, so I'm happy! Total weight loss - 168lb gone forever!  Hope everyone has a great week!

I’m not sure what’s going on with my weight and scale. Last Monday I weighed in at 296.0. I weighed in Tuesday and I happened to be 297.8. I was like WTH? Was my weigh in on Monday inaccurate? Well I monitored it all through the week... you know that meant that I was on the scale every freaking day. So I stayed at 297.something. So, I’m not sure if I gained in 2 days or if my reading was inaccurate last Monday... but here is my loss: Highest Weight: 377.7 Surgery Weight: 375-377 Last Week: 296.0 This Week: 296.6 Loss: +1.8 and – 1.2 Total Loss: 81.1 lbs
