Friday Weigh-in



Recommended Posts

I think I might have a gain for the first time since last October. Crap!

I ate like crap last weekend and had my birthday on Monday. I have to get it in gear. I think that I need to tell myself just 15 more pounds because I am getting tired of this weight loss journey. I'm ready to get to maintenance.

I will see my family for the first time since December at the end of next month. They don't know that I have lost all this weight. I decided to tan and look really good when I go down. Well now the "girls" are a little burnt. Wow that is a new experience. It sucks!

Next week I have to do better!

After a doozy of a fill this week, I'm down 8 pounds in three days. I'm sure some of that may be liquid, but that's all I've been able to get down since wednesday. I'm down to 218 tonight. I'm hoping to stay that way. I'm still not very hungry even today, but have had a Protein Drink, a single serve cottage cheese, and two cups of coffee so far. I ordered a smaller size uniform at work tonight again too. Boy does that feel good. A XL shirt and 18 pants, and they run very small. Hope fully next week will be a good one too!! I'm ready to start dropping some weight.

Well I weighed in later in the morning last week and I recorded a 0.3 loss. This week I have 1.7 lb loss. I am so close to that goal of no longer being overweight. I know what I started doing wrong. I started focusing on a big goal when I have to focus on ONE POUND AT A TIME. When I started doing that I started eating better and losing weight. I am not going to make it to the gym today. I hate that. The first day I've missed in weeks (except Sunday when they are closed)

Onward and upward....I mean downward! :thumbdown:

How is everyone else doing?

Jill, be sure you aren't too tight. You don't want to fall into soft calorie syndrome.

Holy Cow!!!:tongue2::)

I don't know what I did differently this week, but the scale finally moved!! I'm down 2.2 lbs this week!!!! Dare I say, I'm almost out of the 220's!!!!:cursing:

I use the scale at work (work in a doctors office) and we are closed tomorrow, so I weighed a day early.

Don't worry about it Julie -- I've got a ways to catch up to you. I can't remember what I was, but I think I've lost about 3 pounds since I last posted. I'm so tantilizing close to onederland I can taste it:blink: You all are going to hear a shout of joy coming from California when that happens!

I've had this week off from boot camp (starts again Tues a.m. at 5:30 a.m.:eek:) but I've missed it this week.

Love to you all.

well I havent weighed in a long time and I know its not friday but thank g-d I am down 105lbs since the surgery. I feel great!! The past week or so I don;t think I really lost anything so next week when I go for my next fill I am going to ask them to add some eventhough I do throw up but that is usally bc I am eating tooo fast or because I didn't chew well enough. Like right now I ahve a peice of peach stuck I feel in my throat and I feel soo uchhy!!! well try to keep u more updated.

Still not in onederland but I was down .7 pounds this a.m. (haven't changed myticker yet). I read, on another thread, that there was some study that was done about weight plateau's. Evidently, it shows that if you were at a certain weight for a lengthy period of time as you were gaining weight, when you lose weight you "plateau" at that weight for awhile because your body 'remembers' it. And there's some correlation between how long you stay and that plateau and how long you were at that weight. Don't know if it's true or not. But I went through a phase last month when I was really eating "clean" and exercising like a maniac and I didn't lose anything for, like 3 weeks. I was losing my mind too. Hang in there Julieann

Trying to get back to weighing in and being accountable. I weigh 174.2. I'm okay with that as long as I lose every week.

      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!!
