The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In ____August 19th! (Starting back with the university this week... After a few weeks out and around the country. Can't wait to get some semblance of a "Routine" Back in place...) Congratulations and Welcome to our New Guys. For those of you headed in next week--Have the Greatest! For those of you just home— "Keep Sippin' tha****er, and Walkin' Bunches"- Hang in there, And all of you "Livin' on Liquid only Pre-Op Diets!! Same thoughts- It Does Get Easier/Different, Each Week! Yes, using the scales can make some crazy, (Slower loss is Still Loss!) -But- Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!" Has been the "What works for me," for maintaining my loss. I’ll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more If the numbers climb just a little. (This week for example..) That way, I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine. If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?" Then STAY OFF of Them! But for those who Are weighing in- Drum roll-------------------------------------- Hop your Azz up on the Scales! How much have you lost? Since Surgery? Or in Pre-Op Diet? And has the Scale moved this week for you? If so, How Much? My Starting Weight? – 385 + All Time Low – 179 Me?-   184.5  (That was my morning weight, Saturday... At the top end of my range now for about 3 weeks in a row. Cutting back on fats a touch, and getting in an extra 5 miles of walking and/running this week Is my goal.   I'll see if that starts me back down The scales for next week....) So, What about YOU? (NEW GUYS AND LURKERS? Scan back over the last months of this weekly post, And you’ll get a fairly clear picture of the fact that there isn’t a "Typical" progress, Just massive, persistent, overwhelming - PROGRESS!) (Exception- Men Do Typically lose faster than their female counterparts!)  Yahoo! Keep It Up!!! Best Wishes-

Starting weight ---- 346 Last weeks weight --- 180 Todays weight --- 181 Having reached my goal weight of 180 about a month ago I am now hovering between 180 and 183 pretty consistently. Less than 180 doesn't seem to look good on me according to several people who love me. 

Dx,

That peeing-in-the-snow smiley has to be your best!

Deserves a repeeet

Reminds me of the country song,

"I Still Write Your Name in the Snow."

This week? I'm down a couple of pounds from the bump up. Over the winter, I went way below necessary loss, down to 165. Doc's goal was 190.

Today at 17 months out I'm 180.

Here's the background:

Age 27 High: 305

Age 44 High: 262

RNY Day:      242

Today (5'9")  180

Thanks for all of your help and support and for always doing this!

Dave

 

Hello all,

I too am bumping back up a bit to my higher safe range. I allow myself 5 pounds and I have creeped back up three of those pounds, so it's time to pound the pavement a bit more and cut back on the sweets I have indulged in this past week. I'm glad school is starting this week so we can try to get our grandson back into the routine of things.

Here's the numbers:

Starting weight, 1st consult (January 13, 2006) 339

Surgery weight (March 20, 2006): 300

Weight last week: 177

Weight this week: 178

Total lost: 161

Life is great, Rick

Starting weight, 1st consult (July, 2006) 435 Surgery weight (October 18, 2006): 405 Weight last week: 248 Weight this week: 245 Losss for the week: 3 Total lost: 190 Wow, just 10 pounds short of 2 bills, Its great to be that much smaller during this summer's heat wave. I am much more tolerant of the heat and not a swaety mess, even walking around outside almost all day at a horse show.  

Started at 287, my all-time high. 6 days post-banding (and post pre-surgical classes, and pre-surgical liquid diet): 267. (my underwear are no longer tourniquets )
