Great job, Melinda!! I am so happy for you!! Keep up the good work!! 

I am still holding steady. I want to lose a few, but am not really doing anything to make that happen, so I guess it is what it is. I go back to school in 2 weeks so getting back on my regular routine will make it easier for me.

Here are my stats for the week:

• 5'7" tall, 49 years old, 7.83 years out from RNY
• Highest Weight: 339
• Goal Weight: 140
• Last Week: 140
• This Week: 140

Mute-- as you get farther out you'll thank your luck stars for those 'just a pound' losses. Size 8-- woohoo!!

So I learned a lot this week. I'd been in a horrible up/down trend, that was leaving me mostly maintaining to gaining. Posting to this weigh in post every week gave me some great insight to deal with it. I knew I needed to shake things up and drink more. My epiphany came to me Monady-- I decided  to drop breakfast-- which I was eating out of habit, not necessity. I instead drink water/no calorie beverages in the AM's, to boost my liquid intake. (I don't have hunger.) I'm still eating between 3-4 meals a days, but they are composed much differently. And I squeezed in An extra exercise day- but it's a quick exercise. Started this on Monday and I've consistently lost each day thereafter. So while my average weight for this week is higher than last (b/c it started off high) I'm SO looking forward to next week!

HW: 337

LW:206.7

Tw: 207.3 (actual weight today was 206)

next goal: onderland (and it actually feels achievable now!!)

Well I'm still hanging out in the 170's, feels kinda weird to not be actively trying to lose a lot of weight & instead stay within a certain range. I'm not sure how to take just staying here & not go lower, to not obsess about the bmi chart thing & not feel like a failure. I know I'm not, but I guess when so much of my life was lose, lose, lose, gain, gain & gain some more for good measure, feels weird to just maintain.

Kudos to you Melinda in reaching those single sizes! It must totally blow your mind!

Well my stats so far:

last week 172

this week 172

24 months out and in maintenance. 2 year surgiversary on Saturday 

I haven't lost anything this past week. Really for the last month. If I am honest, I am not even trying anymore. I am at a point that I am happy with my size. Other than wanting and needing to have plastics in the future I love where I am now. 

I am officially 20 pounds from the goal I pulled out of the air when I first started this journey. I guess I am just trying to decide if I want to hang out here for a while, or push just to meet my arbitrary goal. 

High Weight 347
