FRIDAY WEIGH IN!

And the numbers show you're doing it! Toning can be stressful cuz that silly number on the scale goes up...Hard to wrap your head around that sometimes.

Well, I am doing.....

last week 154

this week 155

I am maintaining, which is good. This is the longest time I have been able to maintain a weight loss of any amount in my life. This wls tool is the best.

I sure get you there! Before WLS a goal was just that. A point in time; on the scale; a size of clothing...As soon as you hit that "goal" you feel like you've reached that point. And then you head off in another direction. But with WLS, the goal is to maintain your weight...High, low, medium...The goal is maintenance..This was and is a hard fact to wrap my head around. If I didn't make it to that "pie-in-the-sky" goal...my task was to maintain where I landed. Easier said than done!

I have to be aware that the one pound either way is okay...Not something to stress over. Hopefully I'm doing that but it's a reality check every day. You're doing really well. We're all doing really well...It's a personal race so we're all winners.

Howdy!

I ulitmate goal after my vacation is to post each day on what I have eaten and focus more on Friday Weigh In.. My night-snacking has been pretty bad this past week. I'll be away from my computer June 1st - 7th. Boy, I'll miss getting my daily encouragement from you Grads! I'll be at the beach all week, hope to have plenty of relax time to focus on my eating, exercise and goals and come back home totally renewed. According to the  weather forecast North Carolina beaches are supposed to have thunderstorms all week. Think of me and my famly.

Last week: May 23: 139

This week: May 30: 141 RNY Dec. 1, 2005: 284 lbs Lowest weight since GBP: 133 Goal: 122 - 124 lbs (Like Carla and Little Missus) :-) Height: 5' 2"

 

Well, you have a good time down there on the beach. Don't lay around too much and you'll work off that late night snacking...But get a tan, of course. I sure need a tan. I look like I live in Alaska. There's nothing wrong with that but when you live in California, people expect you to have darker skin...LOL We'll keep the light on for you!

Dunno if I posted my weight last week???  I don't have it in my journal...(went a week without logging anything)  I'm maintaining my normal 165 lbs I don't seem to lose weight for nothin' ....I eat 1000 cals...all week I weigh 165....I eat 1500 cals all week I weigh 165....I exercise my arse off and eat 1500 and I weigh 165 lbs... For 4 years...I weighed 165 lbs...It would seem that I'm just gonna have to weigh....You guessed it.... 165 lbs!  LOL 

Last week 152 This week 152 boring, but fine   Maintenance is fun!

Again...Jealousy here. Maintenance, for me, is really hard mental work. I'm too afraid that scale will go up and I won't be able to control it. Fear of failure, I guess..But we're here to help and support. You have it down pat!

Oh, believe me, I have a range on PMS week - I go up 4 pounds, then during my period, I go down 6 (seeing 150 on the scale makes me nervous).  I find as long as I stay in that range, I'm comfortable - mentally and physically.  Sometimes maintenance can be mental work, I totally agree with you.  I think I've finally found some balance and perspective, and they've worked wonders.  Give it some time!  You'll find what you need.

Hi Dawn, Oh my can't believe I have been away nearly 2 weeks. I don't think I posted my weight  in those 2 weeks beentrying to log daily but the pneumonia has me to exhausted to do much else than my housework and take care of hubby.   Last week: 126 This week: 124 yippee going down to 122  where I wanted to be and stay but hmmm might be getting too gaunt...people are starting to ask if I lost weight! Funny no one asked me that after weightloss surgery cuz no one had seen me. I hid in my house for nearly 4 yrs when I had gained.
