Week 8 weigh in

Since I have a really busy day tomorrow I weighed in tonight.

Starting weight 199

Current Weight 164

35 pounds in 8 weeks.

20 until my tentative goal!

Well, it's not Monday, but I haven't weighed in here in awhile, and have some fabbbbbbbbbulous news!

Highest weight: 282 (July 2009)

Surgery weight: 264 (January 4th, 2010)

Current weight: 187.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in onederland! I never thought I would actually be able to say that.

I've gone from 2X t-shirts to M t-shirts, and mostly L dress shirts/sweaters. From 24 jeans to 16s and a size 14 skirt & dress! I couldn't be happier.

Okay, well yesterday (Monday) I weighed 164 lbs. I'm really going to work on upping my Protein this week, so hopefully I'll see a loss next Monday.

Today I did a bit of shopping myself...it's so much more fun now that I'm not in the woman's sizes. Let us know how things go when you finally do make it out.

Dee Dee - 12 below target!!!??? Wow, congrats, you look wonderful. I have followed your progress for months now. I had surgery June 11th....and am 7.5 lb away from my surgeons goal....I want to lose another 5- 10 lbs so I'll have a "pad". You know what I mean? Tell me how to maintain? Did you add calories back into your diet?

I am wondering how to STOP losing weight!! I am NOT hungry. I do get an empty feeling, but not a hunger like pre-surgery!!

I don't want to add things I should not.....I need some "sound advice". Thanks!

Onderland here I come!!!

CW: 312.5

I've had one 3 week stall weeks 6, 7, and 8 and another 2-1/2 week stall month 3. Very frustrating given my weight. I thought I would lose more quickly, but I'm losing inches even when the pounds don't come off. That's encouraging.

Biweekly weigh-in!

Finally made it to onderland!!!! This is the first time in 25 years I have been below 200 lbs.

Starting Weight: 180.6

Current Weight: 131.2

Goal #1: 160.6 (met on Sunday, 6 June 2010)

Goal #2: 150 (met on Sunday, 11 July 2010)

Goal #3: 140 (met on Sunday, 15 August 2010)

Goal #4: 130

Goal #5: 120

Goal Weight: 110 (I am 5' tall)

Total Lost: 49.4 pounds

Progress has been REALLY SLOW but I have also been stressed and not getting everything in so I only have me to blame right now. Great thing is that prior to the Sleeve, I would be gaining weight instead of maintaining or very slowly losing. I do get frustrated when I want to gulp a drink but the trade offs are so worth it! I am comfortably wearing a size 6 and think my final size will be a 4 when I can lose the other 21.2 pounds!

Everyone is doing great, by the way!
