I have been a stranger in these parts.... Sorry ... been in a strange place, kinda a funk. Contemplating life a lot.
Went for a Dexascan this week and turns out everything I've gained is all fat. Oy. Trying to be kind to myself. I love my trainer dearly but he was all freaky about it looking at the paper work... I think he couldn't believe I didn't gain any muscle. It's a victory for me I didn't lose muscle.
Currently 175-ish
Goal +/- 165.
Meeting with a nutrition person next Wednesday from the Gym. I really love the Gym I go to and trust their expertise. Had my metabolism tested as well and that is back to normal after my thyroid crash in September, so that is good news too.
Gwen, I would have given you a shout out, but I knew you had been away....and I was feeling very introverted...which is so not me, but rough times.

OMGosh I love that...more than 24 hours under 160. I feel that way about 170. It has been too long since I've seen the 160's...

I didn't want to start the post this week, since I don't want to admit to my current weight! Which is a sign that I should own it and get the post going as no one else has. Crazy eating for me over the weekend while visiting my mom so no surprise at all to see the scale go up.
HW: 319
Last week: 153.4
This week: 154.2
Current goal: still BMI normal - 145!
My mom said, "you're not still planning to lose weight, are you?" Yes, yes I am. I really want to stop the "you're fat" printouts when I go to the local Urgent Care place.

Good Morning...
There must be some bug going around, because yesterday every time I tried to eat, I felt sick...nothing worked right with my stomach, and so I reverted to protein shakes, which set okay. Today, I have already had some chicken, so I'm hoping I can eat the rest of the day without getting sick.
I'm wondering if my weekend is what made me feel ill. My brother is the booster club president for the high school wrestling team and I had to help with the kitchen this weekend. I was constantly on my feet Friday and Saturday, even though I was in charge of the cash box. We had issues and I was up and down all day. Went home EXHAUSTED. Also, on Friday night into Saturday, my hubby and I made about 18 quarts of baked beans and fried up 20 lbs of hamburger for bbqs and taco meat. (If I NEVER smell these again, it will be too soon!)
stats:
HW: 340
LW: 253
TW: 87 lbs
Goal: I would be happy anywhere under 200 lbs, but the surgeon's office says I should try for 140 lbs. We will see what happens.

Hopefully the results are good. Sorry to hear you're dealing with this.

Hi all,
IF, I hope you feel better quickly. Congratulations on the low weight. It's interesting how people can really have opinions about the "right" weight for us. Sounds like you aren't taking that on. Good for you.
Yvonne and Gwen... I hope you both have a good week this week.
Has anyone seen Sally lately or know where she is? I haven't seen her post for a few weeks. I hope she's well.
Ive been doing ok... I'm in the honeymoon phase so I think "losing anyway" but my chois aren't always great these past couple of weeks. I'm working through why... old patterns. Overall, I'm doing quite well and am happy with my results. I see how old patterns can creep in quickly.
HW: 308
LW: 229
TW: 226.5
Goal: well, I wanted to get to 225 and a size 16 jean by Feb 15... I think I'm going to achieve that!! Already in a size 16 jean. So now I'd like to be 218, for 90 lbs lost by Feb 15!! In time for my Orlando trip!!

I goofed last week - I totally blame myself. I skipped taking Vyvanse twice and that was a VERY BAD IDEA.

Congrats on the low weight.
ive been eating my feelings lately. I'm nervous about a test I'm having tomorrow. Doing a ultrasound of my liver since I have been having elevated liver enzymes. It can be a lot of things going on but you think the worse possible outcome.
Hw 368
Lw 175.8
Tw 176.6
Have a good week.
