Monday Weigh IN

Okay, I have to whine a bit, 'cause I know all of you will understand:

HW: 314

LW: 183

TW: 185

GW: 165 (I am 5'4", so I don't think this is too ambitious)

The whine is that for the past five months my loss has been two freakin' pounds a month. More exercise? check. I've tried eating more, I've tried eating less, and I still can't lose any faster. Then, since I usually lose the two pounds in the same week and this is the week for it to happen, the scales is up two pounds. Crapppitycrapcrap. Do I think I've gained two pounds of fat? Well, no. But I am so frustrated. Especially when I read about some lightweight who lost a hundred pounds and is now in a size 6. Are you freaking kidding me?!

I am 17 months out tomorrow. And I am worried that this is it. And on one hand I realize this sounds incredibly greedy. On the other hand, I really want to weigh less. Maybe my problem is just not being satisfied. I don't know. End of whine. I am now hiking up my big girl underwear and getting on with it.

PS: I cannot wait for the Fitbit band to come out.

 

Hey Kate,

I understand the pain involved with not having that scale move when you work so hard to lose it. 

I ain't going to lie. When I eat carbs i stop losing. When I stop drinking 80-100 oz of water a day, I stop losing.

When I eat clean, drink my water, and work out I either lose or I maintain until the stall breaks.

It is what it is. And there aint no way around it.

The FITBIT is keeping me honest with myself. 

Look out onederland i am going to lasso your ass.

Hugs,

Sharon

Aw, thanks for the hugs. I am doing good on the water front, and carbs are pretty good most days (I've had carb creep here and there), but I suspect that my body is good and comfortable for the time being, so I will need to just buckle down and keep on. Oh, and maybe only weigh every few days if it gets to me.

HW: 362

LW: 327.4

TW: 323.6

GW: 180

I feel like I'm a slow loser.  4 weeks out and I didn't even lose 4 pounds. Oh well!

Don't worry about it just sick to you're program and control what you can.

Man Sharin when you break a stall you do it good!

LW 177.6
TW 174.6

3 pound loss! It was water retension

Starting Weight  335

Surgery Weight  291.2

Last Week  147.0

This Week  145.6

 

10.6 pounds to my goal weight of 135!  For whatever reason I want to say I’ve lost 200 pounds.  My maintenance weight will likely be 138 but I’ve heard to lose under what you want your goal weight to be for wiggle room. 

Amazing journey! Hugs, Sharon

Thank you.  I really want to make my goal by my 1 year VSG anniversary on April 2nd so I plan to post weekly to keep myself accountable.  I know I don't have any control over how fast my body loses weight, just what I eat and how much I exercise.

I have my anniversary in April as well and I am hoping to reach onederland. I hope we both make it 

Hugs,

Sharon
