Gone for Good Club - May 2006



Recommended Posts

I think my mind is gone for good too because I forgot to post last week (and maybe week before too). I turned 40 on May 4th and I think I've lost my mind!:)

Anyway, here are my numbers as of the next to last day in May:

C 232.5 (-42 lbs total, -1.0 this last week)

I went to the doc today and he asked me if I needed a fill. Well, I couldn't decide. I felt good about where I was but then again, I was afraid I'd get in a rut. I only lost 2 lbs. the last 3 weeks total and the doc was happy, but I guess I really wasn't. So, he adjusted somewhat but don't really know how much he put in. I hope I didn't make a bad decision. Does anyone out there think that 2 lbs. in 3 weeks is a little slow (given that I've been exercising and eating right)??

Oh, on the tanita, my fat mass dropped 13.5% from the last reading but my free form mass went up 1 lb. Doesn't that mean that I'm not losing muscle but building muscle? My BMI went down 2.1% too so I know that's good. If anyone has a clue on the free form mass thing, I'd like to hear from ya! Thanks!!:)

My life is just in too much turmoil right now.. So I'll have to pass on the challenges.. it's enough of a challenge to weigh in every week (which I havn't been doing...)

Thanks for the support Tricia! (((hugs))) It's nice to know I'm not the only one on a stupid plateau.

Of course, maybe I will bust my plateau at weigh in tomorrow. I haven't been able to eat/drink much today. I PB'ed this morning and am having trouble even drinking hot tea. :)

Well, glad everyone is doing well! AND be sure to check out TELLY in the Before & After pic thread!! The girl is HOTTTTT in a bathing suit!

Me, too! Izaksmom, does your Tanita (that's a scale, right?) measure your FFM? And I thought that stood for Fat Free Mass...not for sure, though. Yeah, I'm love to hear,too!

Oh, no change this week. Queen of Maintaining. But it is, for sure, Gone for Good!

P'Nut, you and Dawg look great. Like totally different people. You must be SO proud of your accomplishments!

P'Nut, What is the plan for the June Challenge? Are we "weighing in" today or tomorrow?

Telly, will you PLEASE push me during the June challenge (workout wise)???? I need a goal and someone to kick my butt...and I think you are just the person to do it. :confused:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
