Weekly weigh in..day late, sorry

I'm embarrassed to say that I am up to 168. Will do better this week. I think this is a fluke though...we'll see next week.

Penny Penny Penny,

I waited for your post all yesterday. Glad to see you. I am down to 197 thats 1lb lost for the week. Have a great day.

I'm so sorry I was late. I remembered mid-day yesterday. Glad to see you were down a pound.

PS...if I forget next week, feel free to post it for me. I'm very likely to forget again. lol

Hi Penny,  thanks for posting.  Again I am only down 1 lb.  I am only 9 weeks out so I am having a hard time understanding the slow weight loss.  If I keep this up I will never get even close to my goal weight.  I am trying to up my protien to see if that helps.  I do pretty good at getting in my fluids.  If anything I probably need to eat more.  That is hard for me to do because a lot of food just doesn't  taste good anymore.  But I will keep working on it and hopefully the scale will move again.  I have keep track of inches lost and am doing pretty good there, 

Hang in there. I agree that sometimes if you eat more, it seems to come off faster. Also, exercising helps me alot. 

Uping your protein should help, especially if you aren't eating a lot at this point.   You mentioned that you do pretty well with your fluids, I always found that if I did not get 64 oz or more in those first few months I did lose slower.

I am up 2lbs to 185.  That is fine with me because I am finally getting some nutreints in.

Hope you are doing better Melissa. 2 pounds is not that much.

I have never participated in this before but since I was at the surgeon's office last week, & I just came home from the surgeon's office, & was weighed, I thought I would.

Last Thursday, I was 155 & today, I am 152.5. That is a 2.5 lb weight loss, which for me, who still struggles every day to get at least 700 calories a day, is a HUGE feat. I hope to be able to keep playing in this thread!

Glad you are participating. Hope you get better Theresa, are you still on the feeding tube?
