February 25 Check In

[wondering1 103]

Well people, another week has gone by. How is everyone doing?

Some great news today, I weighed in at 185 so that's two pounds down from last time so I'm excited

More good news... my hairdresser says my hair is in much better shape than it was a few months ago. Some of the shine is gone, and the texture feels a little different, kind of cotton-like. But it's not falling out like crazy anymore and actually coming back some. I think it looks pretty good.

So how is everyone else doing? Kristina- thank you for the encouragement last week. It really helped kick me back into gear.

No loss for me this week - that seems to be how it goes I lose every other week. Even though I still get between 800-1000 calories, sometimes I throw in a mini kit kat or a top of a cup cake for a snack. I always get my Protein in and my fluids - each day - no matter what. Just frustrating that my loss is so slow. I burned up the early months with my leak and instructed not to lose during that time and here I am. I did better than this on weight watchers. Frustrating

Your body is really confused right now. It will happen and the weight is going to start going down really soon. I think we both are at a point where the weight does get harder to come off because we are so close to goal weight. That means we have to work harder now to get a few oz off our bod's. Tomorrow I am going to get back to exercising by walking. Don't let that frustration get you down!

Well I just realized I actually did lose .4 this week so I am happy to have lost a tiny bit even if it was like in the 1st day of the week! I guess I lost it last Sunday and was thinking it was already included in my loss last week but last week I was 157.2 and now am 156,8 so YAY! LOL Every little bit, got to keep telling myself that!!

Hello friends! I weighed 195 lbs Saturday morning, making me down 2.7 lbs this week. I am still losing steadily with no real stalls, but it is definitely slowing down. I am not complaining though, at least it is still going down!

Libbe, I think you are doing wonderful! Your body is healing from such a major trauma, plus you are close to goal, so it could be moving slower than you would like. But it sounds like you are doing what you're supposed to do, and if you keep that up there is no way you won't get there! So proud of how strong you have been through your ordeal, I know you can do this!

Debbie, I am so glad you are feeling back on track! I had a few days this week where I too was feeling less than successful, but I really do feel that we can do this, and that a few poor choices will not stand in our way. And I am so thankful for this forum, in particular this topic. You all are what keeps me focused. I look forward to our Saturday check in each week so I can see how you each are doing!

Have a great week All-Stars!!! We may be 6 months out, but we still got this!

Just weighed in and I'm down 1.8 for the week. Just 6.2 lbs to goal!

I have my 6 month Dr visit on Monday, I'm interested to see what the blood work shows. I'm feeling great although some days my hunger (real hunger) is at the same intensity as the pre surgery days. And I have succumbed to the call of the chocolate chip cookie on a few occasions.

Hope everyone has a great weekend

You are doing better than me! We started off with similar stats I think. I only did a one week preop and lost 9 pounds so my overall is 71 pounds and my since surgery is 62 pounds. I still think I am doing okay with losing 6 pounds a month. Thats my average in the last 2 months. I also lost about 6 pounds a month on weight watchers. I think a slow loss is better than no loss and my Dr. says I am way ahead of the curve. I am only 28 pounds from goal. Keep your chin up! I think its way easier than weight watchers ever was!
