weekly scale challenge



Recommended Posts

Up one pound. O.K., I learned my lesson. 2 blackberry cobblers in one week is NOT a good thing. Now if I've got to get "moving".

Well I guess Vegas was a week latew catching up to me. I was sop glad to have lost a pound after going there that I was so dedicated to this weeks program that I was sure I was down at least 10 pounds. Well no movement on the scale. As disheartening as it may be its still Good. This type news would have, In my other life sent me off the edge. But I'm still focusing on my goal. Won't weight in again till after Christmas and at this pointI have not meet my goal of 255. 2 short right now but I can't be happier that I'm on the right track. Maybe I'll use 255 as my Easter Goal. LOL should have no trouble then .

Found this last nite and I thought you'd all enjoy it

I said I'd be here, and here I am. Up 2 pounds, and I think my body wants to permanently weight 249. I make poor food choices and have endulged in way too many holiday goodies - just another reason why I don't like this time of year. Yes, I said it, I do not like Christmas.

Way to go, Betty! WOW! That must feel good. Are you wearing tight jeans???? Three pounds is awesome. Merry, Merry!!!!

Good job, Melissa. I am proud of you guys! Michelle, I'm proud of us, too. No gain! That is good news this week. I am back down to 172 after bouncing up a couple pounds.

I still have to make more Cookies and the dreaded fudge, oh, and my son's birthday which is lasagna and lemon meringue pie, my favorite. At least I'll get it all over with this week. And I must say, this season has banished any fears I had of depriving myself of the goodies I love! I have been eating them just fine, thank you . :Bunny

You can keep the fudge and give me Cookies. I'm headed to my mother's on Friday and have got to stay away from the dozens of giant tins of cookies she makes for the whole family. Even though I have her recipes, I can't make any of them as well as she can! I'd love to hit the 220s by the end of the year, but won't see even 229 unless I clean up my act this week.

Isn't it funny how the same recipe still tastes better when Mom cooks it?! I hope to give most of the fudge away. I think I'll make a batch right now and take it to my dad today. I'm going to help Mom clean her house and that will save her from making fudge. She's having so much trouble getting around, I think I'll be helping out a lot more this year. My dad still thinks SHE needs to make the fudge! :(

Becky - That reminds me of a story. My Mom used to make Baked Beans each year for our family get together. Well she had arthritis so bad in her hands that she was having problems doing it anymore, so I started doing it for her, then she would bake them and take them down in their vehicle. This went on for about 5 years. Well, one year she was sick and I offered to make them for the group. They told me no, Mom was the only one that could make the baked beans right. My hubby got a kick out of that one!

I have made some fudge, but have another couple of batches to make. I also have some more Cookies to make before I am done. I send trays to my work and Hubby's work. I wish I could send everything I make, but hubby loves to eat them too, so I leave some there for him too. I must say I have had a couple too. Shush, don't tell anyone though!

Ok I may be spastic and sppent the last few days in th hospital but when they weighed me- drum roll please,,...,.211 What is that 8 pounds. Eating hospital food, being pumped with med. and all don't exactly make you want to eat. Now , if I can just survive my moms cooking and not being able to walk. I am going to try to get her to feed me healthy but her home cooking is so good.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
