Topic: RE: Weekly weigh-in for January 7th

Ok, I lost what I had gained previously, so I am back to total weight loss of 117 (57 since surgery). Have not been very active over the past week due to health issues, so I don't know when it will start moving down again.

Boy, can I ever relate to the hair loss!!! It is crazy. I do notice that it is starting to grow back but it will be a long process as the shedding continues... As for clothing size, I am very surprised that you have not changed clothing size when you have lost an incredible 74 pounds!! I have lost 70 lbs since the pre-op and have gone from a size 24 to a size 16/18 so far. My pants are now size 14's! What does your doctor say? Are you exercising? I work out about 7 to 10 times a week which has made a huge difference in how I feel and how I look, I think. Good luck with this!

I havent weighed myself because i have two scales, regular and electronic and both tell me different. But on Saturday I weighed myself and one said 270 other 277...but either way i am losing and not gaining yet. I do have to commit more time to exercising because my 6mo post op appt coming up on 2/13. I also havent had any blood work since before surgery done. I am nervous to see all is well with me. Have a blessed week y'all. Start:367 Surgery:361 Today: 27? Total 8? Goal for 2/14/08: 250

Hi...I haven't posted on here much, but I should since we all had surgery the same month. It'd be smart to post with people who started life anew at the same time I did. So...is everybody else losing hair like they'll be bald tomorrow? I can't believe how much hair is coming out of my head. OMG it's just insane. Handfuls during the washing, another couple handfuls while combing and styling, and hair just getting all over the place as I go about my day. I'm so freakin' surprised I don't have bald spots. I've been losing hair since the end of October and the longer time goes, the more that's coming out. I hope this stops soon!!!

I just thank my lucky stars that my hair was thick to begin...I'd be bald otherwise. Those who say "it'll come out no matter how careful one is with protein and vitamins" is right. I'm very careful and it's happening anyway. EEEK!! I'm 74 pounds lighter than I was on my surgery date, and oddly, I'm still in the same size clothing. My clothing is loser and all, but I can't go down a size yet, too tight, and I hate that, so no new clothing yet. Isn't this weird to lose this much and not change sizes?? I keep wondering "how tight were these pants in August if I can still wear them now?!?" I must have looked like a sausage, LOL. How many calories are you all eating right now? I suppose I should start counting my calories, I haven't up til now, so I have no idea what I've been at. What should I be shooting for? I don't see my NUT til the 17th of this month. I'll ask her too...but just to have a comparison, y'know?

For the life of me I was unalbe to figure out why the darn scale wasn't moving for over a month. For a month straight I was stuck at 174. So.....I decided to cut out my (slap my hands) snacking on doritos and drinking my diet mtd. Then after doing that....low and behold that scale started to move again. I have now went back to snacking on veggies and drinking H2o. So anyways, after doing things the right way, I am now moving again. This morning I was down to 170. Yeah for me!!! So.....if your wondering why your not moving..just take a look at what your doing and is it exactly what the doctors tell you to do. I am so mad at myself for not listening to them to begin with...but I guess you live and learn

Starting weight: 237 Surgery weight: 237 Todays weight: 170 Mini goal weight for 2/14/08: 161 Long term goal weight: 140
