OK you make me do a double take with your Canadian way of writing the date.... Even though Wednesday is my 'official' record my weight day, figured I'd get in on Monday because then I forget to post.
After much bouncing around for several weeks with Holidays and extended family time... weighed in and at perfectly OK number. Continues to show me if I get back in the rhythm quickly it all comes together peacefully...no need to panic. I did not do a detox or anything special...just back to my regularly scheduled program....
Highest: 420+
Surgeon consult 383
Last week: 171 (on Monday)
This week: 166
Maintenance +/- 165

Another week, another weigh in. Such a weird week for me. I went from battling constipation to waking up last Saturday morning with the complete opposite problem and it lasted until this past weekend. For the record I think I prefer the constipation. I hadn't changed anything in my diet so I'm unsure what the cause was, and perhaps it was completely unrelated to RNY, but I didn't have any other issues beyond the annoying number of trips to the bathroom. I was even waking up a couple times throughout the night. Things seem to have returned to "normal" so I'll just chalk it up as another interesting experience. The scale was crazy this week too, up and down and up and down. This morning it landed on 278.5 which isn't the lowest I saw this week but as I said it was a weird one. I've been going through my closest trying to get a better handle on the level of organization and ended up getting rid of 3 bags of clothes without even really trying. More to come this week between job searching and submitting resumes (yikes!).
HW - 386
LW - 282.9
TW - 278.5
I don't really have another significant goal on the horizon. My next is 336 (150 lost) but I spent the week aiming to reach the 270's and I got pretty excited when I saw it so I think that's how I'll be looking at it for the next little while, just 10 lbs at at time.
Hope everyone has a great week!!

Happy Monday !
My weight has not dropped since Friday, but considering I have had steady, significant loss since well before Christmas, it was bound to happen. It was the longest I'd gone without leveling out since surgery. But like, I'm ready for it to get going again hahaha.
im getting closer to my goal of 267, then on to 232. I might throw in a random milestone of 250 to break that up a bit....
HW:378
LW: 276
TW: 272
next goal: 267, then 250 and 232.
have a great week everyone!

The dr increased my antidepressant a few weeks ago so i dont know if that had anything to do with it
Welcome to the boards! You will find a wealth of support and information here.
I come from a similar perspective as Peach. I don't have the self loathing so many carry around. It's heart breaking for me to hear it. In addition to her suggestions, I'd also suggest you take the time to read up on obesity in general. While true we decide what goes in our mouth, the science behind how that comes to be is more complex than we've been lead to believe. You need to learn to separate morality from your weight. It isn't a moral failing to be obese.
Obese people have jobs, are professionals, entrepreneurs, volunteers in their communities, raising families, supporting extended families and friends, are active etc. But because they are obese, they are lazy? It doesn't add up. Would you feel that way about someone with arthritis or other chronic condition?
With regard to your goals: you will be shocked at how quickly you will feel better as the weight starts dropping. I thought I'd have to reach 100+ loss for aches and pains to go away. But literally before I reached 40 pounds down, the benefits were huge! Knees no longer ache, I could stand for hours, and have energy for days!
keep posting and reading!

193 is my current 'happy place' and I'm trying to work my way down from each new 'happy place' I adopt. Would love for my next happy place to be 189... coincidentally my next goal ?
Ive been doing well wil my New Years resolves. Drinking 8oz to start my day is my new norm. I've limited my after work snacking to those 3 pre-selected choices and I'm working on building the running to 5 miles.

Great advise, everything always leads us back to our emotions, controlling that inner voice is tough sometimes, she can be mean. My goal this year is to be healthier physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I have been going to a counselor for two years and just made a switch to a new counselor that specializes in emotional eating. Thank you for taking the time to listen and respond it means the world to know someone cares.
Hi & welcome! Congrats of making a decision to take control of your health. How did I get past hating myself? (Though I never hated myself-- I ignored how bad things were getting health wise.) therapy. I did counseling for a good three years before I ever even considered surgery. Counseling taught me that I had a unhealthy attitudes towards food, exercise, nutrition thanks to a lifetime of being berated about those things by family. Best thing my therapist ever told me to do was get rid of every old, frumpy, poor fitting article of clothes I owned. I worked at looking my best so I'd feel confident. My highest weight was 337- and even then I had feautires I admired.
Learn to love yourself now. People often think is surgery will automatically make them like themselves more-- that's not the case. Do the emotional work now- surgery will only help you with the physical.

Today was the start of my journey to a healthier me and I walked away with mixed feelings. I am so ashamed and disgusted at how I have allowed myself to become so unhealthy and miserable. I got on the scale and it said 396lbs. this is the highest I have ever weighed and I have nothing to blame but myself. I am excited to have this surgery and get control of my life and eating. The surgeon asked how much I wanted to lose and I really don't have a number, I just want to be able to walk without pain and get dressed without becoming out of breath. I want all this to happen now, but there are so many hoops to jump through to get there. I thought she would put me on a diet now, but she wanted to wait for clearance from my doctor. I am going to take control here and start a plan myself for damage control. How do you get over not hating yourself for how badly you have let yourself go?? http://www.obesityhelp.com/shared/images/smiley/msn/confused.gif
