Freedom Fighters Weekly Weigh In

I know the idea of a weekly weigh-in has been thrown around a couple times, but I haven't seen an actual thread started on it, sooooo......

What do you think, weekly weigh in?

If so, what day? I'm partial to weekends, just cuz I'm more likely to weigh myself on the weekends, but I'll go with the majority vote.

I don't know how many weeks it has been since I last posted. I have been so busy with my second job and additional responsibilities at my first job. Anyway...I know it's not Monday, but I thought I'd weigh-in anyway...

Highest Weight: 283

Surgery Weight: 270 (7/7)

This Week: 238

Percent of WL from highest: 15.9%

Percent of WL from surgery: 11.9%

I haven't been posting lately but here's my info:

Beginning weight: 294

Surgery day weight: 282

Current weight: 249

Total percent of weight lost: 15%

I have had 2 fills and I feel like I have some restriction. I am happy with the restriction I have. I get full on about 3/4 cup of food and stay full for several hours. No PBing or getting food stuck so far.

God bless you all!

Guess I will be first this Monday morning.

Last week: 199

This week: 196

A good week, it seems. Interestingly, food seems to be losing its grip on me. It used to be that there were so many things I wanted to eat that it was hard to make a decision. Now it seems that I can't decide because nothing really sounds good. I am not sure that will last, but I will enjoy it while it does!

The flip side of that, of course, is that I am not making great choices. I am not getting my protein in, and I am eating way too many carbs as a percentage. I am going to try to get in one protein shake a day and work on those carbs. Also, my water intake is not nearly what it should be. So for this week, I will try to increase water and protein and cut down on carbs. The protein thing is hard because everything seems to get stuck unless it is swimming in softness (cheese, sauce, etc.)

OK, I have rambled enough. Three pounds is great and I will enjoy it!:sad:

Hope everyone has a great Monday. I'm off to work!:sad:

i think the last time i weighed in i was 300 but i was stalled for almost 3 weeks and of course got worried but im back.

My body is really struggling to keep this weight..I might try doing a full day of protein shakes only to shake things up a bit...we'll see...

Good luck with your week everyone - and congrats to all the "losers"!

Oh, Amy, you are so organized!

I can barely keep track of what day it is, let alone what percentage of weight I've lost in each "phase"...

Congrats, by the way! You've almost hit 50 pounds lost!

I might try to get in on this next Monday, since I'm actually starting to weigh myself again. :thumbup:

OK, I guess I spoke too soon last week. I am up 1.5 lbs this week, and I don't really know why....ok, yes I do. I haven't eaten great volumes of food, but I have let sugar slip back in (sneaky sneaky), and I have not been getting my protein or my water in. So, in the past I would not have posted, waited till I was down some more and then come back, but I am pressing the restart button right now. I got up at 6AM and got my walk in (was getting slack on that too), had a protein shake for breakfast, and I am back on track. Just like that. So, I am not going to change my ticker, but I will next week, no matter what. Even though I have to go public with my failures, I will give myself that little bit of grace. :thumbup:

I hope everyone else has GOOD news to report. I will next week!
