Weekly Weigh-IN 4/25/16 -5/01/16

Since I crapped out on last week's post I figured I'd start this one.

As I have said before, trying to find out where my 'happy place' on the scale is in maintenance. Funny the fluctuations of the scale are bothering me more now than they did losing. This is the first time in my life I haven't had to lose weight. For right now I am just trying to keep the scale under 180.

Highest: 420+
Surgeon consult: 383
Lowest: 176
Last week: 176
This week 179

Next week is Part #2 of my Plastics. Figuring I will lose a couple of pounds from surgery. Thinking I would like my Happy place to be 175 +/- 2lbs. So a 5lb range. We will see.

I'm happy that I didn't gain weight this week- I was on vacation last week and I was careful but it's so hard to judge when not at home with my scale! I was eating a lot of protein and was so happy this morning when I saw I lost a pound. Now I am hoping to lose a lot more in the next few weeks since I'll be at home. 

High weight: 377

last week: 206

this week: 205

next goal; ONEDERLAND 

Losing on vacation is awesome!!  Getting to Onederland can be such a tease when you are close...seems like you will never get there. For me reaching Onederland was more exciting than reaching goal.

It's taking forever....and ever and ever lol. I keep wondering if it just won't happen! But then I know it will. I'm too damn close for it to not happen!

I think that is why getting to onederland was so exciting. Hovering at 205-209ish seemed to last forever...

HW: 422.7

SW: 386.6

CW: 308.6

NEXT GOAL 280 (HS GRADUATION WEIGHT IN 2004)

NO LONGER HAVE A 50+ BMI!

You are doing great! Under 50?

Wow, way to go with the BMI no longer at 50+. You should be really proud of yourself. That's a great accomplishment. You have come a long way from your starting weight. That's no small feat. Be sure to pat yourself on the back and take time to appreciate where you are now with the sacrifices it  took while at the same time preparing for the continued future advances.

 What do you contribute most of your success to? Has it been primarily because of your surgery (taking full advantage of the process), the eating (you have figured out what foods work for you) or have you found the perfect exercise program (Insanity, P90X, Cise, Chair-A-Cise) which works for you?

I wish you much success on reaching your next goal of being your high school weight. You can do it. Much success.

I just use my tool and I walk a lot (5miles per day). and im getting ready to start a gym membership to try to tighten things up and hopefully start losing sizes not just pounds. I can not wait to hit that 280 in only 28 pounds away and I wrote down my goal and look at it daily.
