Rainbow Weigh-In Week of 30 Jan 11

OK, time for the second installment. FYI, don't feel like you have to provide all your weight info (that's just the format I use). Feel free to participate if you only want to log your change this week.

Highest Weight: 310 lbs
Surgery Weight: 300 lbs (on 08 Oct 10)
Last Week’s Weight: 225 lbs
Current Weight: 223 lbs

 

 

Total Loss: 88 lbs (from highest weight)
Total Post-Surgery Loss: 78 lbs
Weekly Loss: 3 lbs

Ketosis Level: 40 (moderate)

I’ve now lost the combined equivalent of an Irish setter, a Bald Eagle, and a guinea pig.

I am 23 months out and actually trying to bounce back to about 185 or so (that is where I feel best) 

Highest Weight: 480 lbs
Surgery Weight: 435 lbs (on 24 Feb 24)
Lowest Weight (since Surgery): 166 lbs (I am 6 ft 2 - I looked like DEATH)
Current Weight: 179 lbs

WOW, what a loss from 480 lbs to 166 lbs! /a 6'2" I bet you did look like death.

Glad to see you're adding some weight. Getting very close to your 185 goal. Good luck.

I am 21 months out.
My highest weight was 296. My surgery weight was 285. My lowest weight was 159 and now I weigh 164 which seems to be good for me. I actually was to thin and looked sickly.

Another great success story. I really like that you're able to put on some weight and know that's not a bad thing.

Keep up the good work.

Highest Weight 307
Surgery Weight 287 (on November 15, 2010
Current Weight 226

Almost 82 lbs since November!!  You're doing great.

You and I are very close in high weight and surgery weight. It's very helpful for me to have a comparison. Keep it up.

 Hi OneFinger, Yes we are very close with our surgery and high weight.  Dont think bad of me, but I know its not good to compare yourself to others, but i've always kinda kept an eye on your weight loss, since we're so close in numbers, it kinda lets me know if i'm doing something right. lol.  Your doing very well there, I went today for my checkup, everything went very well. i'm just a little nervous about my blood work, I pray my levels are all normal

Hey, I think everyone sneaks a peek at how others are doing. I used to compare myself with CrazyJoe who hasn't posted in a while. I could always figure that my stats would match his in a couple a weeks.

Now, I'm checking my progress against you. I agree, I think it helps to have someone that you can use to evaluate your progress.

Glad your checkup went well. I'm going in for my next one in two weeks. From the way I'm feeling, I sure everything will be fine. My mobility is better than it has been in years and the shock to the system seem to jumpstart my hormones. I much happier and a lot less depressed than in the past. And, I feel 10 years younger.

I'm loving the progress.

Wow, i'm glad to hear that your feeling better.  I also feel a great deal better, I cleaned out my closets and literally had to get rid of everything.  I went clothes shopping and that was fun to get into those 36 waist jeans.  I think the only reason i'm almost keeping up with you weight wise is due to the fact that I walk a lot with my job, as a ER Nurse. I bought a Pedometer just to see how many steps I take a day and at the end of my work day, I took over 20,000. I was Wow'd.
