Monday Morning Weigh In

 It's 4:30 am, dark, 37 degrees, windy, and I am leaving for the gym. I should be depressed.

But I am thrilled.

HW 480
LW 271
TW 260
Goal 210

An 11 pound week

 Dang, Gary, that is flipping AWSOME!!!  Great way to start the week!!!

Kat

 Highest 320
Last week 182
This week-  No clue
Goal- 175

So week #2 of no scale begins.  Not being able to weigh was rough the first few days.  Not weighing in today is making me a bit nuts BUT over all, I am much better and not nearly as wound up about my weight.  Honestly now I am a little worried that when I do finally weigh in next week nothing will have changed.  LOL, crazy, I know.  

Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!!

Damn, Gary.  You should be proud.  Now share your secret!  

Gina :~)

 What is did is posted further down.

Well, that was a hellish 4 weeks.  Bounced from 273-278 lbs, mostly stayed at 273 lbs.  Stopped weighing for a couple weeks.  I'm 30 weeks out today, and for the last 3 days the scale has been at 270 lbs every morning, so I'm hoping it continues to go that direction again for a while.

HW: 380
2 Weeks Ago: 273
Today: 270
Goal: 175

Gina :~)

Not proud! But am going to post.

HW. 654
Was. 278
TW. 284

I am back on track and rip roaring ready to go! I got this! I have my new favorite excersizing..... MY OUTDOOR BIKE!!!

I still have one stitch in and two open spots on my incision so cannot yet get in the pool! I really have missed it as it was a pay off each time I walked my miles on the thread mill. I have been walking to but not like when I can swim right after! All in time I will be back to my full operating self!

Wow - an 11lb week - what did you do!!??


HW - 420-
LW- 218 or something
TW - 215
Goal - 180

I lost about a 1 lb - I was 216 for a while, went up and down, and finally am going back down.

 I am in the middle of 2 weeks of semi-clear liquid diet and "two a days" 

Since last Monday I have only eaten chicken broth and sugar free Popsicles and Jello. It is not all clear because I am drinking protein shakes. I am averaging 90g of protein a day, about 10 net carbs, and about 800 calories. Also a min of 64 oz of water.

The funny part about this is that I actually find it easier to do it this way then to just make better choices.


I think the real key is work outs. I am working out twice a day for a minimum of 1 hour per session weekdays, before and after work, and one session a day on Saturday and Sunday. 12 sessions per week. All sessions except tor 3 weight sessions are intervals on the treadmill interval training with both running intervals and 10 degree incline fast walking intervals.

I am not talking about my normal workout where I work up some sweat and breath a little hard. I am doing all out, balls to the wall, max effort. At the end of the workout, if I am not sweating like a pig, completely out of breath and am totally dragging ass to the shower, it has not been successful. The only exception is I still do weights 3 days a week, and these are a little easier. I also ease up on my Sunday work out and call it recovery.
