Weekly Checkin - How are you doing? (not just weight)
Good Morning!
I see from our "getting to know you" thread that there are plenty more peeps here than post regularly. So let's let each other know how we are doing! If you are struggling, maybe someone can help.
Even if you are pre-op, it's great to get yourself in good shape and lose a little before surgery.
Weight:
Start: 450 ish
LW: 374
TW: 372 - I was a little bummed, as I was 370 on Sat, but I should know better than to weight every day - LOL
Exercise:
Swam 30 laps Wed
Swam 40 laps Sat
Swam 30 laps Sun
Food:
Pretty much stuck to my plan. Probably too many SF popsicles and a few too many string cheeses...

last week 263
this week 261
Exercise: Mon 100 min dance (vbs)
Tue 25 min run 100 min dance (vbs)
Wed 100 min (vbs) dance tumbling w/2 yr old (light jogging and jumping lol
Thurs zumba 60 min and 30 min dance performance vbs
Fri 25 min run 30 min tumbling
Sat zumba 60 min
Sun Day of Rest (supposed to run, but my ankles are done!)
Food 600-800 cal per day avg 85 g protein avg 38 g carbs
1st I was disappointed with 2 lbs considering all of the exercising, but then I got a grip. 2 is fine. I am getting over myself! =) 2nd I thought when I signed up to do music at vbs it would keep me away from the food, didn't think I would be dancing (really dancing) with 5 classes of kids 20 minutes each. It was a wonderful blessing and the exercise was a bonus. My arms are toned and my back is sore. I will be three months out on Wed. I think I am going to miss my halfway goal narrowly, but what do you do???? I have noticed the loss really slowing down and I don't know how to spike it, so I am just going to keep on keeping on!

Hi everyone!
Started at 303
Surgery at 269
Last week 198
Today 196
My exercise isn't structured, I stay very busy and active but no structured exercise.
I'm doing well. A solid size 20 so I gave away a few bags of 22's, it felt so good. I would be so much happier if I could give up the scale habit, I routinely lose nothing all week and then drop over Sunday night. Go figure.
Hope you all have a great week!

Exercise: I am terrible at keeping up with this. However, I am making an effort to BE MORE ACTIVE. I keep parking further and further away from stores (there is usually more shade to be had -- important when it's 106).
Saturday I went on a 1/2 mile hike. It wasn't tremendously difficult, but I am so freaked about falling down rocks. I never would have made it preop.
Last week my GoWearFit thingee said I hit an hour of moderate exercise four times. I hit 10,000 steps twice and got real close two other days.
Food: Need more protein. Need to track.

One food makes you larger, and one food makes you small...

Yeah, stupid newbie that I am...back in June I was all 'I'm only going to weigh once a month'... um, yeah that didn't last but um, a quick minute...lol. I weigh once a month on my "start" weigh-in date, and weekly on Sunday... and try not to obsessively hop on the scale during the week...
Have a wonderful week, everyone :)
P/S String cheese is evil... :D

I am back from vacation. I am bummed that I did not lose on vacation, but it is probably partly my fault because I did not track my food as well. Plus, I rode in a car for 19 hours between Friday and Saturday, so I am sure some of it is fluid. Anyways, back to reality. And a big lesson learned about going away! And, I am still under 300-woo hoo!

50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.
The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real. CheryL
Hi All,
Three weeks ago I actually lost weight on vacation but hit a plateau after returning due to some bad food choices and skimping on exercise. Now I am back on plan and huffin' and puffin' away.
HW: 350
SW: 332
Last Week: 250
CW:244
I am trying to up the protein by eating jerky when I have food cravings. I am new to jerky but it is really helping by satisfying those pesky cravings.
My exercise plan alternates a three mile walk with water aerobics and then I try to ride my exercise bike while I watch TV. I really want to get back to yoga and weight training but I keep running out of time. Poor planning on my part.
Thanks all!
