Monday Weigh In
Hi All,
I'm home from my cruise and I've had a week to readjust my eating to plan again.
Now the truth of the weight gain. I left home at 187. I returned 2 weeks later at 197, up 10 pounds in 2 weeks - this was scary especially since I was good on the diet most of the time. But I lost 2 to 3 pounds a day this week, so it must have been water weight.
before vacation - 187
after vacation - 197
one week later (today) - 186
Thank goodness! I'm back on plan.
I hope you are all well and losing weight!
best wishes,
Carol

Greetings All,
Its been a good couple weeks over all. Still fluctuating around 173 but I think I figured it out...no sugar added fudgesicles are NOT my friend. I haven't brought anything really into my way of eating except for them. I cant just eat 1 or 2...and the sugar alcohols wreak havoc on my gut. Today is my first day without them so even tho I don't weigh daily, I will weigh again tomorrow...just to see if I may be on the right course.
I tried the Premier Protein shakes and Im in love!!! I have been using Syntrax since about 10 weeks. Im so glad I finally made the switch...more protein and over all a better taste...creamy.
I went bathing suit shopping...finally. I thought id be up a size from my regular clothing size but nope, sz 8 and fits great...tho Im less than thrilled with my legs I'll survive and am greatful. I bought 1 from Walmart and 1 from Sears/Lands End. No difference in size. Happy Happy!
As of today im 13lbs from my goal of 160. Im not stressing and Im working on it. 13 mos out now though I'll be 13 mos till June 9 as my surgery was April 10 lol...yes I suck it for all its worth:-).
I feel good. Orthostatic Hypotension seems under control much better and now without meds. Im more productive and plan to be even more so daily. On my lunch break at work Ive been going out back and practicing jogging which Im enjoying...definitely need compression garments tho.
Ive been looking at bicycles and will get one in June. Our Ohio weather still sucks.
5 more garb bags of clothes going to girls at work and donating. This is the umpteenth time and im thinking the last...atleast I hope so lol.
So...
SW...4/10/13...350
LW...4/12/14...174.25
TW...4/29/14...173.
Next week id love to see 169/170...dreams are possible:-).
Good week all,
tia
You've had such awesome success!! I love donating clothes :D

Thanks Gwen! I think ive been blessed for sure and passing on the clothes is a way of paying it forward for me:-). Where I work I have some single MOMS and we all know how expensive ps clothes are. Add that to yuck wages and cuts in hours due to our home office flipping out about Obama Care and there leaves no room for nice clothing. In the back of my mind Im thinking I still have 2 large rubber maid tubs in my attic with ps clothes and shoes. In a way I hope not lol but btwn work and the mission, I know where to take them!
Thank you..
Tia(who is back to 172 today so F(*^%^$# the sugar alcohols for me, or the over indulgence of them.

Thankfully I lost the 3 I had gained last week. At this point in my journey, I usually don't panic about small gains except that I am chaperoning prom this weekend and need to fit in my dress
