:redface:LOST 2 THIS WEEK DOWN TO 252

I WAS HOPING TO GET OUT OF THE 250'S FOREVER

BUT I WILL DO IT NEXT WEEK

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!:sad:

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.

Hello Plateau.....Good-bye Sanity!!!

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 on a plateau...still insane!!!!

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

I have heard that too. I am the same weight I was when I graduated from high school 17 yeras ago. Hard to believe! I need to be happy that I am maintaining and not gaining! I'm going to the gym right now!

OK, I've said before. I am so close to onderland - why can't I get there!!!!!!!!:tongue_smilie:

That being said I lost another 1.5. I love my band and (dare I say it) boot camp.:frown:

I'M OVERWEIGHT! I want top shout it from the rooftops! I am overweight! NOT MORBIDLY OBESE, NOT OBESE. I am OVERWEIGHT! According to my Wii Fit my BMI is less than 30! YAY! Finally!

110.5# GONE!

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.
