Weekly weigh in May 9-15, 2016

How are you feeling? I hope all is well in your healing!!

Post-plastics my metabolism was super-high, but then reality set in and I had to really buckle down.

I am doing well, my energy kicked back in yesterday, and of course I did too much :). I remember you saying that before about your surgery and your metabolism. I am trying to find my 5lb 'happy range' for maintenance. I figured I'd lose a few with surgery...just because, well it's surgery...doesn't matter what kind. So surgeon said the weight of the skin he took off was one pound, but 'impressive' in volume...hahaha. I really think the 170-175 range is probably good for me. The only place you 'see' weight at this point is my thighs and calves. I did consider a thigh lift but decided it was at the end of my list...so we will see maybe in the future, maybe not...

May I join in on this group?  I need to start regulating when I weigh myself.  I'm getting scale-obsessed.

LW 272.4

TW 265.4

Goal: 150

Of course!! Welcome!!

Looks like you are doing a great job so far. Honestly, I am still scale obsessed, even 7 years out.

Welcome! I am a daily weigher, it works for me...and I record once a week....but you can't let it rule you...just teach you... if it is going in the wrong direction for too many days it makes me reevaluate what I am doing.

Sure, Welcome to the forum, there's plenty of room! It varies how often during the week that I weigh myself because I work a rotating schedule, so weighing myself in the morning is the same as weighing myself after a full workday, so the scale can mess with my head sometimes too.

I had a nice little drop, but now I'm doing the bouncy, bouncy thing.  So I'm going by my last weigh in. My stats so far:

High weight 366

Last week 175

This week 173

Next goal 150's & in the green of a healthy bmi. 

Hey we are twinsies this week, both 173 :)

I'm 2.5 weeks post op.

I'm 5ft 8, 41 years old.

HW 351

Surg Weight 331

Last week 321

This week 315.3

Next goal:  under 300

Goal weight:  Not sure...180?  Hard to imagine.

I'm walking, and starting to think about more exercise - elliptical and exercise videos are on the list.  Goal for next week, exercise twice in addition to my walking daily.

I'm back to work full time this week and feeling good.

Hope you are all enjoy the rest of your week.

Sometimes it is hard for me to see my own progress. Trying on clothes is one way I can visualize it. Today I bought my first pair of size 0 jeans from INC. I know sizing is subjective so I also tried on Calvin Klein, Levi's, Style and Company, some brand at JCP and another brand at Macy's. None were above a size 2. I don't focus on clothing sizes, but this helps me wrap my head around how far I've come from a 26/28!
