Watch out century club, here she comes!!!

I've been stuck at home the past few days while the contractor works on the downstairs bathroom.  I'll be glad when it's done, I hate sharing the upstairs bathroom with my sister, she's kind of a pig in terms of not keeping the bathroom tidy.

My weight is better this week, but still not where I want it.  I plan to be more aggressive about mindful eating, and making sure not to nosh when I'm not truly hungry.

Beginning weight: 530 lb

Surgery weight: 407 lb

Last week: 230 lb

This week: 224 lb

A great week for you, Kix - keep up the good work.  Mindful eating is the way to go (says the woman who's spent the past 3 days drinking like a fish...).  Hopefully you'll stay focused on your plan and push yourself past this 220-something hump you've been going back and forth on!!!  I know you can do it

I forgot to weigh this morning.  Boo.  But weigh in Saturday was 225lbs (loss of 144lbs).  I hope everyone else were "losers" this week.  :)

Hi Kellie,

I had a busy weekend too..we did lots of kids stuff and every year we do a fun carnival to support Cub Scouts i worked the cotton candy machine all day and I mean all day!!!! lol...by 11 pm I was exausted...Its on the day of our fireworks everyyear ..this year we raised 850 bucks which is huge in our little town........My little guy and my Little Niece had a ballworking all the game booths and we had a really great turn out of help and support which is always so nice to see......my life continues to stay busy but I did get my little niece into a day program and my older niece and my teenage daughter got jobs babysitting other peoples kids..(i hope they do a better job for them! ) lol so things maybe getting a little more organized in my life...lets just say I can see the light! lol

You had a good loss this week congratulations! I never realized that we started out so close in weight...I have been kinda discouraged lately about being able to get under 200 ...sometimnes it just seems impossible you know...I purchased a tredmill for home... i'm very excited about it...the elipical machine but the dust about a month ago...so we have had no equipment at home at all...

Start weight=390

Surgery weight=346

last week=226.2

this week=225

Your weekend sounds like a blast, Estelle! 

Yeah, we started out at almost the same weight.  It was really a challenge for me to get below the 220s - I got "stuck" there for 3-4 months and really had to look hard at what I was doing to get things moving again.  I had to bump up my exercise, bump up my protein, be careful about my fat intake, and scale back on my carbs.  I think the exercise was really the key, as I finally got things moving again when I started strength training on a regular basis. 

I lost about 150 pounds in the first year after my surgery, then it took another year to lose 30 more pounds, and I've lost another 20+ pounds in the past 9 months.  It's much slower now, but still doable.  Just be patient and keep doing the right things  and you'll see a "1" on the scale!!!

Kellie

Kellie, thanks for keeping this thread going.  I get encouraged by seeing others lose and feel supported when others are stuck like I've been for the past two weeks.

The scales finally moved for me again but of course, they played the evil trick of keeping me in the 270's which my body always seems to do.  Why can't it just drop that extra 1/2 pound to move into another digit?  Ah...it's what I get for abusing my body for so many years.

Surgery Weight 371

Last week 272

This week 270
