Topic: honest opinions please
hi all,
i had open rny on 5-26-04 and started out at 271 in a size 26 and am now down to 135 and a size 4-6. i have pretty much been at this same weight since december.
here is my question,do you think a person should focus on what the scale says,or what size clothing they are wearing. everyone tells me that i look like i weigh around 120 lbs. and when they say that,it makes me feel like maybe i should try to get down to 120. the problem is i am having trouble with eating the wrong kinds of food,and even my portions are probably too big at this point. anyway,what in your opinion should be our guide,clothing size or weight in lbs.???
thx,tracy

Topic: tummy tuck went ok
... just sore as hell so I won't be on long. They did it outpatient but I stayed at a motel lastnight just in case something went wrong.
I'm hopped up on painkillers so I am gonna go be a couch potato.
Love you all

Topic: RE: Weighing yourself?
I'm with Donna. I weigh almost every day. I'm terrified I will gain and not realize it. I don't seem to have any concept of what my body is doing right now. I don't get nuts about not losing. I'm pretty stuck right now but not stressing out over it. If I could lose another 15 I'd be really happy. But if not, I'm happy here. I can walk into any store and buy clothes that fit. I look good and generally feel good. That's what counts, not the cursed number on the scale!

Hi Sara,
I don't know about you, but if I didn't weigh myself every day I could gain 5 pounds (or more) without realizing it. At this point in my life I don't know if I'll ever stop needing the scale just as a meter to help me watch myself.
Do what feels right for you!
Donna
PS Congratulations -- you look great!

I used to only weigh myself at two week intervals. It seemed like a happy median between the once a month camp and the daily camp thoughts on the subject. But now that I'm 10 months out, I usually weigh myself once a week now. Mostly because smaller amounts seems to be "bigger" now. It makes thing easy on one hand because Sunday I weight myself like clock work. But it's hard when I might only lose a pound or two instead of the 5 or so earlier on. Or worse yet no loss or even a slight gain. Which can happen depending on the water weight, etc.
My advice do what's best for you and find a time frame that works for you. Your nutritionist is giving you guidance not laws to follow. Just be careful and don't get into weighing yourself all the time because that will drive you nuts too.

Jeannie ,
I have been using it since the 3rd month and I love it . I am ashamed that I have not shared this with you all by now . It is great and what is nice is you can add other foods that you eat .
I track my protein and carbs by using it .. and you can track your exersise .. If anyone here has not used it .. it is great and it is FREE .
Take care ,
Natalie

Topic: Weighing yourself?
Its just a little over 10 months for me and I've been at goal for about 6 weeks. I see a nutrionist and she wants me to wait a month in between weighing myself. I see her about once a month and the only weighing would be at her office or when I see another doctor. Its been three weeks now and I'm convinced thats the lousiest idea on the planet. I'm going nuts convincing myself that I'm getting fat again. The nutrionist has generally guided me in very comfortable ways. I'm curious, how often and under what cir****tances does everyone weigh themselves?
