Weekly Weigh-IN 7/04/16 -7/10/16

Come out, come out where ever you are! LOL... No Hide and seek...where is everyone? Holiday week I guess.

I keep posting my highest weight ever- and it is just a guesstimate...at the time I joined a weight loss workshop I took my measurements because I didn't have a scale that weighed that high. After that was over I joined Weigh****chers and still weighed like 394... so I know I was over 400. Dug out the work book with the measurements finally... So compared to my starting measurements before WLS - I was 10 inches bigger in the chest, 6 inches bigger in the waist, and 7 inches bigger in the hips... So I figure that has to represent at least 40lbs. ....

Highest ever 420+

WLS consult: 383

Last week 174

This week: 173

Messed up my knee by overextending in a stretch (I think) in pain and using an ace bandage...Boo

HW 368

LW 167.8

TW 165.6

Next goal 150

I took measurements at one point but I stopped measuring because my arms made me so sad lol. I should take measurements next week because I know my waist will make me happy!

HW: 377

LW: 183

TW: 180

Next Goal and my ORIGINAL GOAL: 175

I cannot even believe that I'm so close. Seriously. I was such a slow loser in the beginning - those of you who were around in the beginning definitely remember my posts because I know I posted whiny ones lol!! I gained weight on my 2 week liquid diet. I lost like 10 pounds the first month or something ridiculously low. I was so scared. I cried to my best friend that I was going to be the one that lost almost no weight. She told me there was no way I wouldn't be successful.

I don't know when I turned the corner but I did. I KNOW it had to do with OH and the awesome people here and specifically with following my diet plan I put together with the help of all of them since my NUT was stupid and not helpful.

I'm all reflective this week since yesterday was my cancerversary lol. OH AND I'm not longer obese!! I'm just overweight!

It is good to be reflective ...it keeps us appreciative and moving forward. I am so with you on the slow beginning... I had heard if you have a high BMI you will lose faster...I lost 11 the first month and was sure it wasn't going to work for me either...

But here we are.... You are sooo close! It is exciting. and OH is a godsend. I know having a place to come daily has kept me focused. I see so many people who are buzzing along year one only to waiver in year two and not make it to goal...

HW: 337

LW: 208

TW: 207.9

So I guess this officially puts me in a stall, three weeks and my weight has stayed essentially the same (-/+ .2). Damn scale toys with my emotions. i hope there will be nice loss as the end of this aggravating tunnel. 

i think it may be time to cut back on calories, which sucks because I like the rotation of food I'm eating. Bah humbug. 

Stalls suck eggs...LOL. I never counted calories really (only occasional  what I called spot checks)... but I always found it was good to change up what you are eating periodically and make sure you are getting enough fat. We get in ruts with our food. A good dose of fat often broke a stall...

Stalls totally sucks, yeah you might have to change it up food/calorie wise. I've been eating a ton of salty foods so the scale is so not my friend right now, not that it ever was lol 

I'm here, I'm here! lol I've been working a ton of nights, plus ot at night, its the ole it's summer all hands on deck kind of thing & if I hadn't agreed to fill in for a friend on the day watch in his station I'd be sleeping right now.  lol Plus they have a Keurig machine but no cream!  Ughh!, Coffee & no cream, that's insane! I've been eating a ton of meat with a whole lotta salt in it. These onion burgers from Costco are so tasty & of course I just had to get the sausage too! So I gotta a little bouncing action going on right now.  My stats so far:

High weight 366

Last week 177

This week 178

Next goal 150's & in the green of a healthy bmi. 

I started at 413 and I'm down 41 pounds as of this morning, almost at the three week mark.  

Welcome!
