Weekly Weigh-In: Chocolate Should Be Illegal!

Start: 388

Last Documented Weigh In (August 30): 246

Today: 245

Grief and chocolate are not a good combo. Hope you all have a stupendous week!

If you need chocolate (which you really don't), could you just limit yourself some dark chocolate???

HUGS!!!  Oh, and "Step away from the chocolate!"  Be well  and be happy it isn't a gain!

wow! Congratulations!!!! you must be really excited!

VERY ;)  I am actually coming home a day early to do my Pre-Op appointments.  I am doing my checklist for food/eating - meeting with the In-Laws for a week "sort of" vacation - not giving myself any reason to waver from my diet.

The realization of being in the homestretch is finally sinking in.  "Gee, this time next year I will be in better physical shape..."  All good thoughts running through this worry warts' mind ;)

Welcome back, Patti - we missed you.  I'm very sorry for the passing of your mom.  ((hug))

Highest:  380
Surgery:  344
Last week:  217.6
This week:  211.8!!  -5.8

Whew, I haven't had a loss like that in a long time.  I wonder if it's the antibiotics I'm on?  I'm fearful things will slow to a snails pace very soon and I'll have a long wait for onederland.  Hoping not, but I'm under no allusion that big losses will continue. 

Have a good week folks!

PATTI!!!! HUGS!!! You were SO missed! I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but I am glad to hear that you're taking care of yourself- cuz you matter.


Highest: 390
Surgery: 340
Last week: 195
This week: 199

I weighed Sunday and I was 195, weighed yesterday and I was 199. I don't think I gained 4lbs in a day...but I did have lots of salt so I need to get my drinking on!!

Had an awesomely beautiful ride by the ocean 55miles of pure bike pleasure!

Glad to see you back Patti...   I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing.. My thoughts and prayers are with you..  Grief will ease with time but the hole that is in your life can never be filled so do not try to fill it with food or yes that horrible monster CHOCOLATE....  the best way you can make that hole seem to be less big is to try to fill it with great memories and love.. that includes the love from your friends too here at OH... we all love you and are here for you.. reach out if you need to talk...

I also have not documented my weight here in quite a few weeks.. I have been stuck on the same number all that time.. I add a lb and loose a lb but basically I am at a plateau or in a dreaded stall..  I am almost a year out now and I am getting to where I am not sure if I will ever reach the goal I originally set for myself.. my family thinks I need to stop loosing because with the extra skin I have they say if I subtract that from my weight I have lost enough.. I am not sure what to do..I have lost 154lbs I am down to 149lbs and have at least 20 maybe 30lbs of skin.. so that puts me pretty low in weight... my original goal was 125 but not sure what to do now.. do I reach that before the skin removal or what..??  so confused.. maybe someone might know an answer..
