Friday Weigh-in- Need to step it up?

I think very few people weigh in on friday. My surgery was on a friday- so that's why I weigh in on friday. I also noticed that whatever I weigh on friday is what I will weigh on Monday- even if I do not eat out and restrict carbs more. I usually lose weight from tuesday thru friday.

Surgical weight:368.1
Last week: 237.2
This week: 235.2
Goal:  not sure 190, 180, 170?

I'm happy with 2 pounds, but I want more. I don't want to defeat myself by being overly impatient.  However, I would like to see a little faster drop.  I want to see 220s sooner rather than later.

What to do different? My workouts and activity are really good. I'm still sore from Monday's workout.  So I need to set aside this week to see if I can have a big drop just from diet changes. Carbs, snacks, and water will be my focus.

I've been so distracted by career stress and change, selling  a house, finding temporary housing, now the impending gallbladder surgery, etc. - all by myself. I didn't want to add another thing to my plate. But for one week, I will suck it up to see what happens.
 

Well, at this point, for your little size now - 2 lbs a week is a good number to shoot for. I think you  might be setting yourself up for disappointment to try and push for a big drop. I would be estatic to lose 2lbs a week or 8 lbs a month from here on out.

I think it is a GREAT idea to set a focus or a goal for the week, but don't worry about the scale. I will do it's thing eventually and you have done so well, so you know this :)

Yeah. I know that you are probably right. I just wonder if I was more focused and not so distracted with other stuff....

I don't want to sabotage myself with impatience, but I don't want to be a slacker either.  I guess that I am a little conflicted.

Join my club? LOL

I think it's good to just kind of keep a tunnel vision for a while and focus hard core on your calories/carbs/water/exercise....it'll help.  Then you definitely won't be slacking off. But that can be hard too when you have a lot going on. I hope you will get results though - maybe it'll motivate me to get my butt in gear!

Thanks!  You are one of my 'go to' people for motivation.

I'm going to plan things out carefully this weekend for next week. I'm not going out this weekend- I'm tired and have penty to do at home.  I'll make small changes and then let it go. I won't stress over it because stress is bad for weightloss. And mymind  is spinning all of the time lately.
 
I move out of my house in about 3 weeks and then out of the state in about 2 months (and have my gall bladder removed in between). And I still want to get to my 1-year goal. Once I move across the country, I will be in a totally new environment. Maybe that is what is making me a little impatient now. 

I'm still losing. I just want to make sure that these other life changes are not interfering with my weightloss goals. That being said, I feel pretty fabulous and successful.  This major life transition would be so much harder with an extra 132.9 pounds (154 counting pre-op weight).
