Happy Monday!! Happy Presidents Day for those that get the day off.

Starting Weight: 388
Last Week: 265 (joys of water retention)
Today: 258     I'LL TAKE IT!!

I see one of the docs in my surgeon's office tomorrow, but I'm trying real hard not to freak out. My plan is to spend the day drinking my weight in water and not getting near any sodium.

Have a great week!!!

Today's weight:  295 (official WI tomorrow - if it sticks, it'll be a 3 lb loss since my official WI last Tuesday)

Patti, hope your doc appt is uneventful!  I see my surgeon a week from today... I definitely understand wanting your numbers to look good for the check in! 

I'm thinking weird thoughts lately... I likely lost 3 lbs this past week, yet it feels like it's coming off sooo slow.  I'm afraid the dreaded stall at 3 months will kick in and I'll be stuck in the 290's for awhile.  Sometimes it's hard to have confidence this tool will work, especially when you up your daily intake a bit.  Even just slight increases feels like you're dooming yourself to not lose another pound.  Yeah, the mental battle is about 99% of this journey I think!  Oy vey!

Start weight - 322
Surgery day - 302.3
Last week - 258.8
This week - 259.6

I must be at a stall or something. I can't seem to get below 258. I will have track more consistently and hit the gym harder and more frequently.

Thanks.

Wow! You had a great week.

You know... the closer you get to 100 the slower you will lose. Your body does it just to drive you crazy. LOL

Thanks Patti.. it feels good to see the scale go down fast finally.. I am doing 1 hour on Wii Fit now..

That figures it will slow down again.. .. I have only 8 lbs to go and was hoping to get closer by next Monday for my offiicial weigh in at the surgeons office.. now that I did so good this week I probably wont loose much this next week.. but I am still happy.. My goal was to be 100lbs down by my birthday and that isnt till the end of March so I have time.. just hope I dont need all that time.. lol

huggs...

Wow...that was really weird...I finally get to change the 3 to a 2!  I am not nearly as excited as I thought I would be about that...I am still seeing the 120 more lbs I need to lose to be at a "healthy weight".  I go to my 3 month check up on Thursday and will hopefully be at the 60 lb. mark by then, which would have me losing about 20 lbs a month on average.  That is really exciting!

I got married on 3/4/07 and was at my highest weight ever (400 lbs).  It is amazing to me that I weigh 100 lbs less than that right now. 

Hope everyone has a good week!
