6 weeks from surgery
HW: 315
SW: 293.8
Last week: 263.2
This week: 258.2
goal: 160 (though I absolutely relate to the mental block on that...I have a hard time believing I'll ever get under 230).
As I said last week, I hated to post my 'low' weight because I was heading into a four day wedding weekend for my niece. As long as Laura started the formal ball rolling, I'll post a pic too...
Highest ever: 420+
Consult wt.: 383
Last week: 171
This week: 174 on Monday, yesterday 173.2. today 174.8...???
one pound for each day eating dessert. :( trying to get back on track, and routine....but the weight is fluctuating not dropping... I prefer 172-173. so keeping on pushing. Once you have a carb weekend, it is hard to get into routine again, but doing it quickly, I know is key. For the moment I am telling myself 170-175 is my happy place...even though I haven't hit 170 yet...

You look beautiful Laura! Your maintenance 7+ years out is an inspiration. I am finishing year two and going into year three and know the hard work has only just begun....

I get the mental block completely. Right after surgery I totally freaked out and was convinced the surgery would not work for me and that I wouldn't lose a lot of weight. My BFF reminds this of me ALL the time lol. I was seriously terrified. I'm stunned every week when I weigh myself and lose more.
So I truly truly believe if you follow the rules and push yourself you can lose the weight after the surgery! There are so many helpful vets - people who have been successful for years- around this site that have helped me. I kind of stalked their posts lol and followed their advice. I believe that's why I've lost as much I have. I hope that if I keep following their advice I will be a vet someday who has also been successful and if you follow the rules you can hit 180!
Don't be so hard on yourself on not exercising if you're exhausted. That will come. Listen to your body, you're not that far out from surgery.
I feel the same way about the mental block thing. My lowest in my adult life was 250, so it's going to be really weird and awesome once I get below that. I remember when I was 250, I went on this HUGE hike in this area that I love that has statues and gardens. I took a picture of myself then and I looked so happy and proud of myself. I can't wait to get back there.
