Monday Weigh In

This has been my first real stall.  It's a combination of increased exercise (so my body freaking out), my period, constipation, and some extra meals out for increased sodium.  Ugh :P  I've been bouncing around the same pound for the last 9 days.  

LW: 261.1

TW: 260.6

.5 pounds down

Hi Everyone,

Glad you started this today Gwen.  I know with it being a holiday I wasn't sure and I needed to celebrate with those with understand. 

I thought I was in a stall but it was my body fussing about never being this weight and wanting to hold onto where I was...hence the 175, 174, 171, 173 etc.  I notice every morn upon waking that my hands are swollen tho no other part of me is and with what im eating/drinking, it cant possibly be fluid retention atleast not from sodium...what do I know.

Its been a good week/rough week.  I started the therapist id been putting off and Im glad I went.  So much head tripping with this wls, any wls id guess.  Im going to post another post on all of this...im in that mood today lol,

So, my OH tracker said 171.25 last week so Im wondering if that was right.  My feeble mind:-).

Surgery...4/10/13...350lbs

LW........5/19/14...171.25

TW.......5/26/14....168.75

Yaaaay!!!!! Im broke into the 160s barely but im there...for today.  I just changed my goal to 160 which leaves me 8.75lbs.  Never in a million  years or my wildest dreams!  Im so thankful!

Ok ladies and gents...look for my other post to come...in btwn loads of laundry.

Hi GwenMo,

Please feel free to start this thread if I haven't.  Actually, anyone who wants to start this thread should feel free to do so. 

With my travels, I've had some weight fluctuations.

4 weeks ago I was 187

2 weeks ago, post cruise, I was 197.

today I am 181.  Go figure!

I'm down 6 pounds this month with a 2 week cruise.  I'm happy.  And I'm almost at goal.  My goal is in the mid range for overweight, so I may set a lower goal.  But first I'm going to get to it and celebrate!

best wishes,

Carol

Thanks, Carol!  You hadn't yelled at me yet, so I figured it was okay if I started it ;)  I also figured that everyone was having great fun on Memorial Day so that it might get missed.  I like the accountability of the post.  Just like the daily food posts in the main forums!  

Your weight is AWESOME and I hope you're super proud of yourself and feeling totally fantastic.  You're such an inspiration to so many of us!  

I'm 5'4" and 180 is the goal I've got in my head.  I have other goals that are lower, but right now they seem so implausible to me.  180, however.. that's where I was when I graduated high school and I feel like it should be attainable to me.  If I reach 180, I will feel that this has been a truly successful process.  

And then every pound after that is just icing on the cake, so to speak!  

LW: 283

TW: 279

The weekend was rough with food/choices/old habits.  I am back on track and hoping for this week to be another good week.

I am three weeks out and feeling better each day. I rode a bike today for the first time in 30+ years.

Wow!  Congrats on riding the bike!  Was it easy?  Did you remember how?  

It wasn't easy but I did remember how to balance and pedal. I am having a tough time remembering how to change gears and I am always scared of falling. LOL. I have ridden everyday day this week. Hopefully, I will get more comfortable soon. Thanks for asking!
