Monday Weigh-In ... May 18, 2009

Been awhile since I posted here, so I thought I would start the weigh in week off.

BW - 443.5
SW - 410
LP - 229
TW - 224.5

I am pleased that I am still losing after a year out.  My dr was adamant that the losing window was six months despite statistics being that we have around 18 months to lose.  Oh well - not questioning anyone I am going to just keep on keeping on.

I am bummed about my number this week. The past several weeks I have been steady so last week I increased my exercise and worked out 5 days and 3 of the 5 days it was an intense workout and still only lost 2 lbs. I also ate dang near perfect. Oh well a loss is still a loss so ill take it.

SW 336
LW 224
TW 222

 Keep up the intensity and eating and I wouldn't be surprised that you will start seeing big numbers once your body realizes you are committed to this amped up routine.

This is week #4 for me at the same weight.  Its getting old.  I think I need to up my calories to match the insensity of my workouts but I cant get them up.  Oh well

HW-424
SW-390.5
LW- 295
TW- wait for it..............wait for it...........wait for it.................wait for it.............295

SW 354.9
WL 51.3

Post op 13 weeks

I am not sure what all the initials mean.. I have an idea so I went with what I thought they meant... kinda like learning to text... can't do that withough punctuation and capitalization either... tooo much of a writer for that....

Anyway... I hope that I am on track where I should be. I  don't see the doctor again until August for my 6 month. I hope to be down by 100 by then. I am going to the gym a minimum of 3 times a week and last week I went 5 times! I even started walking on the treadmill ! 5 minutes of walking and 2 minutes of cool down before I work on my arms & back or legs & abs.

I think I found a new addiction! Lucky for me it is a 45 minute drive to the gym or I might find myself there all the time....

I sometimes feel like I should stay longer when I am there but I imagine that will come as I am more able to do things..... I wouldn't mind as long as I am feeling better!

Glad you posted this.... I think I reallly need a good swift kick to get back in gear...  I think I am eating way to many carbs... weight hasn't budged in about 5-6 weeks

surgery wt:  344
last week:  191.2
this week:  192.0

I hate to see the scale moving up!!!!  I don't feel like exercising.... I don't feel like taking my vitamins... just don't feel like I can do this anymore... not sure why!!

Clinell you are amazing. I am still where I have been for months - the 242-248 range (it jumps around daily). I am not trying really hard to lose any more although I know I should, I'm still 100lbs overweight. I am maintaining relatively easily but I know deep inside that I should/could lose more. I'm in a weird place about all of this I guess. I feel like a different person but exactly the same. To me I look and feel exactly the same even though I clearly don't. This is a strange process.  I guess I am getting accustomed to the loss now, my body and brain are getting back on the same track.

I ran yesterday. That was strange. I can barely move today though LOL.

I don't know about amazing.  I do my best to follow the rules but I truly accredit my success to my surgeon's understanding of dealing with patients with high BMIs and what that entails when actually performing the surgery.  

I have to admit that I speak out of both sides my mouth.  I indeed mean it when I say that if I didn't lose another pound, I would be satisfied with my size as long as I can get the big ol' belly removed. However, when I step on that scale and see a loss, I get super excited that my efforts are still paying off.  I keep waiting for the dreaded stall or even the end of the road.  I work to mentally prepare myself for it to happen but I am grateful it has not.  So, I continue on this journey and wonder where it will take me!
