Weekly weigh in: 04/17/17-04/23/17

whoops!

i wrote up the post, but didn't hit submit!

Well, I am at my lowest adult weight today, and have been for a couple of days! Was really hoping to be under by today, but the scale gods chose to teach me a lesson in patience haha

regardless, it was a good week.

Goals: UNDER 232. Then 228 for 150 pounds lost. Then under 200!!

stats:

HW: 378

LW: 235

TW: 232(232 even...not 231.9 or something hahaha)

hope you all had a great weekend!

Congrats - that's such a great feeling!

After my weight loss from being sick last week I wasn't sure if I'd gain it back. I had a birthday feast this weekend - as in 5 ounces at different times :) Scallops, lobster tail, and mahi mahi. We do this weekend thing where DH has to cook for me all weekend - lunch, and dinner every day. And then SF angel food cake for dessert.

HW: 377

LW: 134

TW: 134

Goal: to maintain below 145

Hi guys!

Congrats on reaching your low weight Erin! ...and for beating it because I predict you will have by the time you read this. You're entering the unknown!! Cue the scary music... lol

Since I finally found a job it freed up a lot of time in my schedule (a ridiculous amount of time) and I was able to get back to the exercise more. It felt good to get my steps back up to where they were and we got out a few times on the long weekend for walks and rides. My job is a pretty physical one so I should be set on the steps and exercise thing from here on out.

HW- 386

LW- 235

TW- 231.7

Next goal...my birthday/5 month post op is coming up on Friday and I'd love to see something in the 220's (not so much a goal as a wish). After that my low weight is 220 and then my next significant goal is any weight that starts with a one. Crazy to think that is potentially only a couple months away....

Hope you all had a Happy Easter and have a great week!

Hehe thanks! I am below as of this morning!

Congrats on the job! What kind of work do you do?

I knew it!! Lol

Congrats! ...it's ok, they're protein shakes...

During college I accidentally became a landscaper and I've gone to school for management and design. I just started with a company that does natural playgrounds. Super cool. It's kinda like the show Timber Kings but for playgrounds. (The company name is Bienenstock if you want to google what I'm talking about.) I'm a "Foreman Trainee" at the moment with the plan that I'll be running sites by June. So I get to do cool projects and I don't have to do any of the crappy stuff that you usually have to do in our industry, which is exciting and they do jobs out of province so I could end up traveling...pretty excited about that too.

How cool is that? What a fun job!

Congrats on your goal! When I made my lowest adult weight it was a total mindfuck for me. The knowledge that it was all new territory from there on out. That was crazy to process. My weight now? I don't think I was even 160s in high school, I was probably there in middle school last. It's.. yeah. It's a lot.

And this is one of those weeks when it sucks that this post is always my Monday weight :P I drove to NY and back again with my vegan BFF to see Neil Gaiman. So I was poorly hydrated and ate foods that I don't normally eat. And I spent a lot of time on my butt. Not the best way to go into Monday's weigh-in and the scale definitely verified my weekend of villainy ;) But that's okay because travel weight is never "real" weight, just a blip that soon vanishes.

HW: 319
LW: 163.4
TW: 165.5 (I was down to 162.0 on Friday, OMG)
Next goal: 159.5 - half the weight I used to be. So freaking close.

I think about that every Monday hahaha

Congrats!! I'm so happy for you!

Whoop**** "submit" without the rest of my post. I'm down to 293 this week, and my BMI has gone from a high of 66 to 47! Normally, I don't put much stock in BMI, but I'll take any number that's going down!! I'm also down to a size 24 jean from a 30. Yay!

HW: 408

LW: 297

TW: 293

Congrats on lowest adult weight! Woop! and maintaining it...

Wednesday is for me my 'official' weigh day... didn't like Monday's weight so waited until today. :) I have been sitting in the low 170's for weeks... not my happy scale number. I consider 170 my 'oh crap' zone.

But then reality- freak out on the scale is really about fear of regain.... reality check is I am still a totally normal weight, not gaining daily....changed my exercise routine- not so much in time length but more in intensity- Personal trainer and running- definitely more challenging.

Been focusing on more veggies, cut out the faux carbs-then last week drastic cutback in cheese consumption- still no movement... finally cut out protein shakes and focused on dense protein and veggies the last 2 days and movement. Yes!

I am really appreciating this young personal trainer (26-could be my son or his friends) who knows his stuff- I don't discriminate against youth... who has my number already and can look me straight in the eye and give me tough love. As in "No" - you shouldn't be doing that.

Highest ever: 420+

Bariatric Consult: 383

Last week: 173

This week:170 - hopefully next week I will be back in the 160's

Maintenance range: 165 +/-
