Monday weigh-in -- with a substitute Patti

Howdy Everybody!!

Since our dear Patty T. is sleeping in or something, I'll post the first weigh in of the day. (It's all yours next week, Patti T.)

I'm thrilled about my progress this week (part of the reason why I wanted to post):

Scale said 279!!!
Previous week: 285
Starting weight: 388

Everybody have a great day!!

Patti

SW: 453
LW: 308
TW: 303 -150 lbs total 

Hopefully the stall is over....

The evil scale said : 294
Previous weight: I can never remember
Surgery day weight : 338
Highest weight: 423 
for a grand total if 129lbs GONE!

Look at you! WELL below that threshhold!

Well I wont weigh in tell Thursday, but Its sure to be a lower weight than last week considering I'm already on day 2 of my lovely pre op liquid diet. But I wanted to say that it is just awsome that you last almost 10 lbs last wee****ep up the good work, and prepare to move over, I'll be sitting on that losers bench next week!

You ladies all had a great week! Start without me anytime.

I had a bad morning and did not get weighed. I'll try tomorrow, but am not expecting good results. I ran out of bars and bought some at the store to tide me over. Well, I ate em like they were candy bars. At least they have protein, but I feel sooo bloated. Urk.

Luckily my food box arrived today with pudding & bar refills. Binging on protein bars - shakes head at her own stupidity.

Hi everyone,

Well, now that I've finally had my surgery, I can participate in these Monday weigh-in's and stop my mostly lurking.

Surgery was 12 days ago and I was 344.
Today, I am 323. 

So far so good.

Linda

Isn't it exciting to post a great week! I slept longer than I wanted, then ran late - no time for OH until now.

Feel free to start without me any time.

Well, I weighed myself after a nice poo and the news is not good.

Start: 450
LW: 359
TW: 373 +14 OMG

Eating those protein bars like candy was NOT a good idea.

Why am I posting this bad behavior? I guess I feel like I have to be honest. If I only post the good, you won't know the real me. The "Bar Incident" shows me I can't do this without surgery.

This thread is not only for post-ops. Yeah, they lose much faster, but we ALL need to be accountable, whether we are on the bench or not.

Protein bars are a little too much like candy bars. I've done the same thing myself. (And I didn't post my weight that week -- I was too ashamed. You are a better person for it!)

But 14 pounds in a week? Methinks there's some water retaining going on. The only time I've ever gained 14 in a week was the week after I lost 13 pounds because I had food poisoning (in my WW days).

I hope the scale proves me right.

I can retain water just being in the room with a box of kosher salt or bottle of soy sauce.

When I was in GNC the other day, the petite girly behind the counter made a comment about bad stuff in some of the protein bars. And she specifically said salt.
