The WLS In Your 20's Weekly Weigh-In for the Week of 11/4/2007 - 11/11/2007

Happy Sunday! It's time for the Weekly Weigh In - A great way to measure and share our progres and stay accountable. If you're pre-op you can look back over the past weeks and months and see the incredible progress!

I'll get us started:
I went back to work this week for the first time since surgery, my back has held up! It's harder now to plan my meals and get used to a schedule, but the hardest thing this week was eating enough, and avoiding snacking on high-fat leftovers from a pot-luck we had at a neighborhood block party on Halloween, and a Body Shop at Home party my wife hosted here yesterday - damn finger foods! I still manged to lose a pound, which is fine with me at this stage of the game. I'll keep chipping away and hopefully I'll make it to 175 before Alex (if she didn't get there this week) and she can buy ME an alcoholic beverage!
Highest - 297 lbs.
Surgery - 282 3/29/07
Last Week - 178
This Week - 177 - Only 2 lbs from my goal!

Total lost - 120
Total Since Surgery - 105 lbs!
This week - 1 lb

Just weighed! Today I am at 131! I tend to bounce from 129 to 134. I have not found the ryhme or reason yet just seems to happen. I told myself as long as I don't hit 135 I am fine, that is my cut off. If I hit 135 back on all meat and shakes. Holli

Finally! I am always a day late and miss this post...lol Well I was at a 247 plateau for 3 weeks...But that is Finally OVER!! I have really cut out the carbs almost completely-bye bye grits and potatoes...As much as I like them I am going to try and just get the carbs from the veggies for now while I am trying to lose. I think that change is what really kicked started the loss again...but I am constantly learning what works still. Highest Ever-315 Surgery-294 8/20/07 This Week-233 11/4/07 Total Lost Since Surgery -61 lbs! This week-7 lbs

Last week I was worried I may have some bad consequenced since I drank so much on Saturday... But alas I did not!  yay. 

Highest-260

Surgery- 242

Last week-221

This Week-220

SOOOO My total loss is 40 lbs! OOOhhhH YEAH!

This weeks loss was 1 lb.  Not bad at least it is something.

Different things work for different people, but restricting carbs has always worked great for me - and for you to! 7 lbs. - stong work!

Finally weighed myself today. i don't weight myself very often cause this far out i'm not too concerned. Highest- 462 Surgery- 449 Today- 195 total weight loss- 267 lbs   That puts me below my goal. now i have to bulk up and maybe put some muscle weight on.

Michael--yeah its hard missing out on the carbs but the longer I do it, the easier it gets...any other tricks that work for you are greatly appreciated...you have made incredible progress!   she she--Great job girly...You didnt hear this from me (cough cough) but SoCo and Lime juice=NO Carbs or Sugar--in case you go out again soon   Jhick and Holli-WOW you guys are such an inspiration...cant wait to be at goal too!!
