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 want in too!!

My surgery day and beginning stats are in my signature, but I'll do the weekly weigh-in starting now too. Monday works for me, except I won't be here next Monday so I'll do my weigh-in on Tuesday if you don't mind?

7-20-09 239.5

We could always come back next week and edit this post and add the next week's weight under this one. Has anyone tried that yet?

Hi there -

starting weight - 270

pre-surgery- 251

current weight- 234

Lost 36 pounds altogether and 17 pounds since my surgery on July 3rd. I am eating mushy food and can see that the weight loss has really slowed but as long as I don't go up I am not going to worry about it. I know that I can't eat like I used to and that the weight will come off eventually.

Is anybody exercising? That is my next goal. It is really a challenge for me to get off my ass.

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--258 (07/27/09)

Last week I was at 262, so that's 4 pounds for me this week! I couldn't be happier. I expected a smaller amount since I went from liquids to pureed foods, but I guess this is what my body needs right now. Good luck to all!

I'm in...

Starting 264 6/2/09

Ugh, I didnt lose anything since last Monday. But I started mushies on Thursday and weighed myself then. I had lost another pound and a half. I gained that back since starting mushies. Im exactly where I was last Monday now. Im not going to be too hard on myself though. I honestly expected it because we put our bodies into starvation mode on this liquid diet. I think my body will stop freakin in the next few weeks. This was honestly to be expected. Its really not good to go down to like a five hundred calories a day which is about what I was doing on the liquid sugar free diet I was on for two weeks. Because as soon as you start feeding yourself again, your body treats 1200 calories like its 3000 because its hanging onto every single calorie afraid that your still starving. I think once my body is back on track in the next few weeks, I will have a good weight loss again. Gonna stay positive!! :crying:

hi everyone

Surgery weight 226.50

Last week weight 217.00

Today's weight 215.00

That is down 2 for me. I guess that isn't too bad since I am on 'regular' food. The goal is 1-2 lbs a week. So, there you go!

I'm up .8 :crying:

I expected it with surgery and not drinking much Water...cause, I couldn't walk to the bathroom without intense pain...thankfully, I turned the corner yesterday, I'm getting around much better, no crutches...but, an occassional leaning on furniture and door frames.

last week 269.2

this morning 270.0
