Monday weigh in

Hi I am new here to the board but would like to start posting here as well. I'm struggling right now (well all the time) with my eating and hoping to find the support I need to keep trying to do the right thing. I am stuck at 275 right now. it's been that way for two weeks at least.  starting weight: 340 Current weight: 275 total lost: 65 I've eaten badly so far today but I'm going to push myself to eat better now. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Hi, Nicole, and welcome to the BMI Over 50 forum.  It's a friendly little place, with very supportive members, so I hope you find a little of what you're looking for here.   Don't worry about being "stuck" at 275; I think we all get "stuck" along the way.  It's our bodies way of catching up with all the changes it's gone through.  Just keep doing the right things and you'll continue to see the pounds melt away.   I look forward to getting to know you, and to sharing your journey; welcome. Kellie

Thank you for your welcome. if i put a post on this forum about eating badly, will i be flamed or will there be people here who have been in the same place and overcome it? i'm a little over 4 months out and have struggled from the beginning with my food intake. i have good days and bad days.  i'm in a bad day phase. thanks.

no flaming on this board just love and support.....welcome aboard

Welcome to our flame-free environment.  We all have good days and bad days, and this is where we come for support and encouragement, regardless of which type of day we're having!  For me, it helps to know that I'm not alone in my struggle with my old, unhealthy food habits.  Plus, folks are so willing to offer suggestions about things you can try to work on changing those behaviors that it can be cathartic.   It's a long, emotional journey, and we're here to help, not hurt Kellie

I did get to see my dad on fathers day for a little while.. I had to go to a family wedding out of town, so I didn't get bac****il late sunday afternoon, then I was reallly exhausted. Starting weight:  344 last week:  296.2 this week:  291.6 total lost:  52.4 Caroline

Hubby wanted Chinese for Father's Day. I had some chicken & black mushroom & some tomato beef, no rice. I may be retaining water from the MSG, but even so, I've lost 5 lbs. in the last 2 weeks.. Start  450 (guesstimate) Last   430 Today 425

We had a low key father's day.  My husband's kids all live in another state and we went down and visited my 87 yo grandfather.  We all played sheepshead (card game mainly played in Wisconsin).  Came home and tried to do something productive as I was gone quite a bit this weekend.   Had a lot of anger issues at my doc's office as the nurse was of no assistance to me.  Dr. Dawn diagnosed herself and I think I was almost to the point of a bowel obstruction.  I'll save you the details.  I have stopped taking my iron and have an appt next week Wednesday to come up with another plan for iron.  On the positive side... I'm in the 200's!!!!!!   Hi: 406 Surgery : 374 LW: 302 TW: 296

My father is deceased, so we didn't do anything in honor of Fathers' Day.  I am a bit annoyed with myself the past few days, I'm doing everything to excess, and not in a good way.  I need to grab hold of the reins and yank, hard.  Otherwise, I will find myself spinning out of control, and this would not be a wise thing to do. Beginning weight: 530 lb Surgery weight: 407 lb Last week: 225 lb This week: 224 lb (might have been 223 if I hadn't eaten the Costco dog yesterday) Kix

Good dinner last night. Suffed mush oms, prime rib, hari covert and parsleyed new potatoes.  We watched movies all day with our new surround sound system! SW:  371 LW: 277 TW: 277 No change and I'm pissed off about it.
