Rainbow Weigh-In for Week of 01 May 11
on 5/1/11 3:03 am
Sorry to miss last week's weigh-in but greateful to gman for starting the post. I'll be traveling on business the next two weeks and away from the scales. Here's hoping the weight remains stable or continues to drop.
Highest Weight: 310 lbs
Surgery Weight: 300 lbs (on 08 Oct 10)
Last Week’s Weight: 197 lbs
Current Weight: 195.0 lbs
Total Loss: 115.0 lbs (from highest weight)
Total Post-Surgery Loss: 105.0 lbs
Weekly Loss: 2.0 lbs
Still dropping slowly even though I’ve started to re-adding some carbs to my diet. Had my first spoonful of pasta this week but still carefully tracking my intake and exercise. Looks like the body is going to keep adjusting until it reaches an optimum weight. My personal goal is to get to 190 lbs.
I’ve lost the equivalent of a 2-month old horse, a human head, and a rack of baby back ribs.
I started off at 270.1 pounds on 12/14/2010 and was in a 3xl polo shirt and 48/50 waist jeans
As of 5/1/2011: 204.5 pounds, in an XL polo and 40 waist jeans, getting ready to go to the next smallest size of both.
Total lost since 12/14/2010: 65.6 pounds
My loss has slowed down a bit....probably b/c I cannot exercise much at all and I got caught in the carbs again. I've been cutting them out again and am hoping to get into a water aerobics class soon.
As of my 3 month post-op appointment, I had lost a total of 18 inches off my entire body.

highest weight: 343
surgery weight: 326
last week's weight: 284
current weight: 276
my doctor reprimanded me and had me lower my calories so i've been trying to make sure i'm getting 800 calories or less a day. it's hard because i hate replacing a meal with a protein shake since i get hungry but you gotta do what you gotta do!

You're doing OK with your loss. Remember, you only had surgery in January - not that long ago.
As for the calories, one thing that helps me is www.myfitnesspal.com. It has most foods (including take out stuff) already in the database. Makes it real easy to track your intake.
Currently I'm on the road traveling and so I am not eating as I normally would. So, when I have a business lunch, I make sure to add that to my diary. I then check to see my calorie and protein for the day and adjust my dinner to stay within my daily goals. I'm hoping this works since I won't be able to hit the scales for another week.
Keep up the good work and start tracking your meals. It's well worth it.
Current weight 171
Highest weight 304
Surgery weight 284
4 pounds under my original goal weight, feeling good, just had gallbladder removal surgery today and am sore but feeling not too bad. Congrats Onefinger and all of you guys for all your accomplishments and reaching our goal one by one, Forever changed and better for it. God bless.
