Monday Weigh-In ... March 9, 2009

 I haven't gotten out of bed yet to weigh, but thought I'd open the post.  I will update with my numbers later.

Despite losing an hour this week, did you lose some pounds?  Let us know!!!

ADDED Later:

LW - 241.5
TW - 242

I believe I may have entered stall land.  I have be quite fortunate to go this long without one so I will do my best to suck it up and let it ride.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, I don't know about all of you, but I really could have used that extra hour of sleep!  Despite, the tiredness, I think I did pretty good.  Here are my numbers:

HW = 363
SW = 363
LW = 205
TW = 201

Four pounds down!!! Maybe I'll get below 200 next week!!!

Have a great Monday! :-)

Up 5 pounds from last week but I'm retaining water and Aunt Flo is coming.  I'm not going to let it get me down though. 

My Aunt Flo decided to come for an early visit...argh!!!!!

LW- 319
TW- 317

Starting - 440
Surgery - 405
Last week - 249 (up 7 in water, love those hormones)
This week - 244 (peed out five)

I am neither losing nor gaining. I am neither happy nor unhappy regarding this. Frankly I'm pretty sick of thinking about any of it - weight, food, clothing size, protein.. As long as I don't gain I am trying to convince myself that I've done well and I can be happy at this weight. I'm doing ok accepting it but I still have stupid fluttery moments of hope if/when the scale moves.

I think I understand what you are feeling.  Having been overweight all my life, I did not expect to come out of this journey the size of a super model.  In fact, I kind of expected to end right where I am and if that happens, I will be happy because I am comfortable in this body with the exception of the big ol' belly.  So I know I won't truly be satisfied until after reconstructive surgery, but for now - I feel good. 

You, my dear, have done great and now are transitioning into no longer identifying yourself as a WLS patient, but instead just another woman who has hopes and dreams for her future and you are ready to put those in motion.  I think it is wonderful that you are making this transition! 

Jenn -

Thank you for putting into words what I've been feeling - I, too, am tired of thinking about all the stuff around WLS.  I tried to explain this at an Overeater's Annon. meeting last week and I'm not sure anyone got it.  It's not that I'm not happy with the results, nor do I regret having surgery - but dang, I am soooo much more than someone who has had RNY.

I've been thinking that maybe I just need a break, kwim?  However, I also know that I'm the queen of rationalization and taking the easy way out.

I just wanted you to know I sooooo hear you and I'm right there with you.

Take Care,
Jana

Not a good week... Can you gain from stress... I know I made a few bad choices, but not that many.  I think the stress of my sisters fire, me working in her burned house, then me getting a cold has added to the gain, and not being able to get to the gym this week didn't help matters.  I will get back on track and hopefully lose by next week..

surgery wt:  344
last week:196.0
this week:  198.0

total loss:  146
this week:  gain 2.0
