Measure your weight after going to the bathroom, while fully undressed and wearing no jewelry.

(This isn't a fetish of mine, I just want to see you reach 199.9 lbs or less today. :))

Keep up the great work.

Avoid salt and sugar today, drink a ton of Water, and do as @@4MRB4PHOTO recommended. Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, after peeing, and completely naked.

Diet Totals 758 - Pound Loss

I have dieted continuously for the last 2 decades and lost
a total of 758 pounds. By all calculations, I should be
hanging from a charm Bracelet.< /span>

I have done a lot of kidding around with Weight Watchers,
but it is the only organization in which I ever lost a
great deal of weight. But I fought them. Every Tuesday
morning, a group of us had to " weigh in " before the
lecture. Our ritual was enough to boggle the imagination.
We got together a check list of precautions before we
actually stepped on the scale.

Bathroom? Check. Water pill? Check. Have you removed
underwear, wedding rings, nail polish? Check. Set aside
shoes and earrings? Check. Are you wearing a summer
dress beneath your winter coat? Check.

The first week I stepped on the scale and my instructor
said, " You have gained. " ( Next week, I cut my hair. )

The next week, she said, " You have lost 8 ounces,but
that is not enough. " ( I had the fillings in my teeth
removed. )

The third week, I had dropped a pound, but my instructor
was still not pleased. ( I had my tonsils taken out. )

Finally, she really chewed me out. She accused me of not
sticking to the diet and not taking it seriously. That
hurt.

" I didn't want to tell you, " I said, " but I think I am
pregnant. "

" How far? " she said coldly, clicking her ballpoint pen
to make a notation on my card.

" Possibly 3 days, " I said.

She glowered. " Any other excuses? "

" Would you believe I have a cold and my head is swollen? "

" No. "

" How about I was celebrating the Buzzard's Return to
Hinkley, Ohio and had butter on my popcorn? "

She tapped her pen impatiently on the card and stared at
me silently.

" Lint in the navel? " I offered feebly.

" How about first one to the trough? " she asked dryly.

I learned quickly never to argue with a woman who had the
scales on her side.

I saw my old instructor the other day and she eyed me
carefully and said, " When are you returning to class? "

" As soon as I have my appendix removed, " I said
returning her gaze.

I'm not sure, but I think I heard her moan.

I'm very far from Onederland. But I'm looking forward to getting below 274 :) 274 was my lowest weight in recent memory. Once I get below 274 that will be the lightest I've been in at least 4 years.

237 is my next magic number. That's when I'll have lost 50% of my excess fat.

Then my next milestone is Onederland.

I have 17 pounds until my first goal is met! Woo hoo!

I'm right there with you.....200.5 this morning. I'm just getting off of a three week stall which has made this really frustrating. I had 3 goals within 10 pounds. First 203 which put me at a 34 BMI, then 199.9 for Onderland, and finally 194 for the lowest I've weighed in over 20 years. Of course right when I was getting there I hit the stall. What was really cruel was I hit 203 and then gained 1.5 pounds to start the dreaded stall. I hope to join you either tomorrow or the next day.

I even take off my watch and wedding rings

Lol

It's an extra special bonus if by some miracle I have to have a number 2 (and of course always number 1) first thing in the morning before drinking Water and weighing myself!

You'll get there. But if you're like me, then it will bounce back up over 200 briefly. Now that's frustrating. My advice is the very first day you see 199.9, don't weigh yourself again for another week. And the day that you do, make sure you have not had anything salty the night before and that you have had plenty of Water the day before. That 199-200-199 bounce was enough to drive me mad.

      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!!
