173 this week. I gained two pounds after eating Christmas treats for two days. Overall I am pleased with just the two pounds gained. Before holiday eating would have completely derailed any healthy eating/diet plan and I would have continued to eat unhealthy and gain even more weight. Now after my weight loss surgery I know I can start today fresh and go back to my low carb high protein diet easily. I love my sleeve. Hoping next Friday I will have dropped these two pounds and will have lost another two.

199!!!

Officially in Onederland! Yay! I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale this morning considering I didn't eat perfect this week but I'll take it! Merry Christmas and I hope your grandson is doing better Susan!

My scale is broken!!! I got on it this morning and it said 140. Oh but I am doing the happy dance ????????. I was so afraid to get on it because I just knew it had gone up from all of the snacking I did for the Holidays (although I didn't eat any goodies on Xmas, strange). I made my holiday goal! Yay me, Yay me! Now I have to work on keeping the scale going downward. Still need to get to 130 to reach my surgeon's goal. Then maybe even 125.

Happy Friday everyone. And I wish you all a Happy New Year!

230

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!

I will be updating the spread sheet on Sunday night. Had to travel to Michigan because my grandson was in the hospital. He came home today.

Sending prayers and hugs for your grandson.

228

Hope everything is okay with your grandson!

197.3. Should be at my goal by next week!

I'll have to weigh Monday..doc office is closed

311.5

Met my goal for this challenge this morning. 269.4 I was hoping for quicker losses, but as long as the scale is moving in the right direction, I will take it. Merry Christmas everyone!

241.8 prime rib for Christmas dinner. How can one person gain 2 pounds in one day! Oh well, back on the bike and turn that wine back into water!
