Weekly WI - Better late than never!

Hi All,

Not sure where our regular weigh in posters are but I will get us started!

Highest Weight - 400
Starting Weight - 354
Last week - 243
This week - 240

So excited about this week.  I have been stalling so much lately and the weight loss has slowed down so much!  I am worried about my November follow up with my doctor.  I will be a year out on Nov 18th and my doctor wanted me to be below 200.  40 lbs to get there...not gonna happen in 2 months as I have been averaging about 10 lbs a month...on good months.  But trying to stay positive and each week is getting me a little closer!

Hope you all have a great week.

Thanks Kim! Glad to hear you're through the stall, and don't worry so much about making the weight loss deadline...it will only drive you batty! Just focus on how far you've come and all the amazing things you can do!

This week:  199

Not much but I'll take it, plus I am a whole size smaller, and I can see new bones showing...love that! So I definitely think that I've replaced fat with muscle!

You are so right!  Look at you down in Onederland!!!  Is that the first time you have hit it? If so Congrats!  If not, I know you have been very active so it surely is muscle.  Love the new pic!

Thanks! Nah I've been bouncing between 198-204 for the entire summer, but I've also been weight training and eating lots of carbs, so I'm trying to just stay the course!

Glad to see the weekly weigh in still here..and to see everyone doing so well... It has been a couple of weeks since I posted.. I am getting caught up in my Physical therapy and do not get online as much as I used to.  The best news is that I am walking now.. No walker and practically no cane now.. I have to use the cane as a precaution when I go outside but I CAN walk without it.. Yippee..
I walked yesterday at physical therapy on the treadmill for 6 minutes at 1mph... does not sound like much but it was so great to get back on the treadmill.. I still have such a long way to go to get back to were I was at walking 3 miles a day at 3mph... but I know now in my heart I will get there again with patience and a little more pain management.. They put me on a tens unit yesterday for pain which may allow me to do more.. but through it all I have still been loosing.. slow slow slow but still seeing the numbers go down..

Anyway today I had the opportunity to get online so I thought I would chime in..

I am exercising, aren't you proud of me!!! the big thing is that I am actually jogging some!! Just a few paces but I have not run even once in over 22 years! I lost a knee to cancer 21 years ago and never dreamed I could run with a stiff leg but I am, even if it is just a little, I will keep at it!
