Welcome. I had my RNY in '05 and at my last check up had gained 20 lbs. That is just too much for me--and I could tell in my clothes. I know how important accountability is.
I also will be interested in hearing your thoughts about WW. I'm looking to move and the town doesn't have a bariatric support group. Mine here meets twice a week and I benefit from that. I was thinking about using WW or OA.
The great thing is that with wls, now we just have to diet like everyone else:)

Thanks Agent 306 for starting the thread...great job on the 1.2 pounds down...
Starting Benchmark 220 pounds
Week Current Down for Week +/- Benchmark To 2010 goal
#1 (Jan 3-9) 220.6 (Jan 8) NA +0.6 23.6 lbs
#2 (Jan 10-16) 219.8 (Jan 17) .8 lb -0.2 22.8 lbs
#3 (Jan 17-23) 218.0 (Jan 22) 1.8 lb -2.0 21 lbs
I had a great week friends. I'm slowly chipping away at this extra weight and best of all I just feel so good about myself again....we all remember that "successful" feeling....right?
Anyway, I'd like you all to mention one or two of your "success" foods this week. Particularly if you lost weight, there may be foods that you ate that helped you stay on track better. I focused on tuna, egg whites, turkey pastrami (at WalMart Deli - try it if you have not yet done so - unless you do not like pepper****pt my volume up (yes, I'm still a volume eater) by eating vegetables instead of the not-so-good choices of naughty 2009.
I'm hoping more people chime in with any success...no matter how big or small. To be truly successful you have until December of 2010 to hit the mark...so just chip at it a little at a time...even a 1/4 pound lost is in the right direction. If you are happy with that 1/4 pound loss for the week, then we are too.
Remember, the main success of Weigh****chers is not so much the class, but the weekly accountability. So if you are sitting out on the perimeter being a wallflower, just jump right in and introduce yourself and start from this point foward.
Have a great week.

Sally,
That is a great way to start.
I know earlier you had hoped to get some exercise the day of your meeting. Perhaps you squeezed in a bit of time. If not, you will find the excercise helps to keep the momentum going.
Have a great week...just a little at a time. What really counts is where we are in December...even in small amounts.

Topic: RE: calories per day
Doesn't it seems strange that you have to eat so little to loose weight. That's less than what a regular diet would require. Yet, we are suppose to still not absorb???
Topic: RE: When the going gets tough
That's great! I have been pretty good this week but have gained weight. I had really started off with mostly shakes then started eating "normal." Not bad ... just "normal" and the scales went up. Like you said early on, I, too, can have weight fluctuations. Glad I come come here to get help with my head.
Topic: RE: Just joined this group
Welcome! Let us know how WW works for you. I've been good this week and the scales went up. There is a local support group but it meets a long way away. I, like many others, am a lifetime member of WW and still under the old "goal" weight so could go there for free.
