Monday Morrning Weigh In

Good Morning everyone,I hope that nobody minds that i started the posted but i was too excited.I couldn't wait to share with you guys.i'm 7 pounds away from reaching 399.The last time i remember being in threedom i was 15 years old and i was 375.Im so thanful for my sleeve.Its really working because im working it.....Who is next

HW-474
SW-455.3
LW-412.4
CW-406.9

 HW 320
 3 weeks ago 174
CW  169
Goal 160 
Down -5 in 3 weeks

I never, never, never in am million years thought I would see this number.   I keep getting back on the scale to see if it is going to jump back up to 175.   I slightly increased my calories to between 1200-1300 with exercise.  I know I am going to lose a little more if I can hit my running goal of a 1/2 marathon.  I have to wonder now where the scale is going to stop.  At 43, I dont expect much more.  I was told to try for 155 but that goal seemed so unatainable.  Honestly, it still does.  I am still trying to not get caught up in numbers. I think I am going to put the scale back up for another 2 weeks.  I have been happier not weighing everyday and I am incapable of not weighing if the scale is out.    It hit me yesterday that I am almost to maintenence.  I dont know how to wrap my brain around the thought that I dont have more to loose.  I have never not had at minimum 75 lbs to lose. ( not including the 150 I finally lost)  I am not sure how to be someone who is ok with where they are weight wise.   I am NOT going to turn into one of those people who always has 5 lbs to lose. if you know what I mean. :-)   Anyway, thats where I am on this stormy, rainy Monday.   I hope you all have a fabulous week.

Thanks for starting this! I got a slow start this morning.

HW - 420
LW - 207
TW - 202
GW - 180

OKay, 5lb weight loss, one week, at a year out, with no exercise. AFTER a weekend in Vegas???  I feel like super woman today.  I had the "iron will" while I was there - Ive never had cravings like that in the last year - watching my friends and everyone eat it up and drink it up and passing by cupcake stands and pizza and burgers galore - AHH!!!  SO FREAKIN WORTH IT. Onderland is coming up quick :)


I'm right there with you Kat!! I'm really in a weird place weight wise. In my head, I need to still lose 50 lbs. I *only* need to lose another 22 to reach my first goal, but I keep thinking about lowering it. II guess if I knew what size I was - maybe I'd have a better gauge at where i'm at and where I want to be, but Im still wearing size 16 work suits, but recently started buying 12/14 dresses and pants. It's all confusing.

I feel a sense of desparation to get to goal - I had a PS consult with Dr. Sauceda this weekend, and I've decided to shoot for this sooner rather than later. I know it wont cure all my problems, but I'm struggling to live in my body as it is.

Hoping for another great week!

Hi Everyone

You are all doing so great.  I broke my stall.  For the last 2 weeks I was fluctuating between 291 and 292.  This was the first time I stalled so I was patient with it.  I knew if I kept doing what I was suppose to It would break.  Well on Saturday it did.  I now weigh 286.6  The last time I was in the 280's was 1998  I am 17 lbs away from hitting 100lbs lost.  I have a several family parties coming up in july.  I would love to hit 100 lbs loss by then.  If I dont that is ok too.

Talula216 you can and will make! It is good to have the positive attitude and to not be hard on yourself if you do not. That 100 pounds lost will happen!!

Hugs

You are working it!! Way to go!! You will be there in no time!! Gaining even more freedoms in the threedoms!!

Hugs!!

Lucky I'm thinking that,I know that being in threedom will give me a whole different feeling and i'm fighthing hard to get there.

Ok, so today, my Monday morning weigh in:

Start 654
Last week. 260
Today 250

Goal. 154

This past week has been a great week. Increased calories, working out at the gym and 10 pounds lost! I even went east of the mountains to a party for the weekend Friday and Saturday 2 BBQ's and kept with my goal. Dinneron Sunday out when meeting my mother in law for the first time. I did it, it was easy but hard, but I lost! I jumped on a big huge trampoline for the first time ever at my twin brothers house! Everyone was worried, I turned to them all and said.... I have sat on the sidelines and watched long enough and got up on it and had the best time with my neices. (my brothers weighs 20 pounds more than me and he gets on it so I knew I was safe).
Oh and, my older brother who was near 500 pounds, has now lost nearly 200 pounds, and my twin has lost about 20 lbs. my mom joined a gym and is excersizing and losing some to. They say I inspired them. I know it does feel good to see them feeling good to!!!

Have a totally wonderful day and week everyone and as I always feel this, thank you all for making me feel so welcome to be right here on OH!!

Hugs!!

The trampoline must have been quite the experience! I miss those things  - maybe I can find one and get a little adrenaline rush from it!!

What a week - you are sooo amazing! I'm continually inspired by you :)

Thank you acbbrown, you have rocked your journey amazingly so you inspire me! I now have a thrill of bike riding. Seeing you do what you do, is inspiring!!

The trampoline was a great workout to! I also road my brothers stationary bike yesterday 16 miles doing the interval training hills on max! Loved it, although nothing like outdoor biking!! I rode his outdoor bike the day before, but his seat did its toal on my (cough, cough) hoo hoo and arzzz!! So, I used his step into his house for step ups. I found ways to get my excersizes into the weekend. I have to be creative like this. I am preparing myself for my trip to France on ways to get my excersizing in! I will be good and will enjoy my trip to France, but I do not plan to cheat! I know now, that food does not have to be my all... My enjoyment to be a pig is not needed!! It will be the time of my life with my husband!!

Hugs
