MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Hello all turkey leftover eatters out there, Hope all the leftovers are gone and you had a great thanksgiving. I have to say that Tom Turkey never has been that good to me till this last week. I havent been able to eat chicken or turkey or beef that well but I did this week. Thank God! So the scale was pretty good to me. It picked a good week also to do so. Its my ten months out today!! So everyone get on the scale and lets #%^&^ or smile.... Either way...... Just numbers huh? Lol Beginning weight-397 Surgery weight-386 Last week-225 This week-218 Who Hoo!! Made it to the teen's. Hugs Marge

I didn'****ch what I ate as good as I should have this past week, but the scales was still good to me!!! Beginning weight-356 Surgery weight-337 Last week-214 This week-210 WOOHOO!!!

Beginning weight-434 Surgery weight-411 Last week-355 This week-352 Sorry I was late in posting, still in training at Curves, having a hard time adjusting to a job where I can't wear my pajamas. -82 lbs total. Julie

Here's my numbers for the week: Beginning weight: 396 Surgery weight: 386 Last week: 226.1 This week: 227.1 I'm still going up and down in the same 4-5 pound range. Up a few pounds, down a few pounds, up a few pounds, down a few pounds. I know I'll eventually get over the "hump," but it's taking longer than usual this time. Oh well, I'll endeavor to persevere and eventually it will happen... Kellie

Hi Marge! Start - 388 Surgery - 376 Last week - 313 This week - 312 I guess I shouldn't have been disappointed in my 5 pound loss last week! lol. I am starting to wonder if I am not eating enough. I never go over 1000 calories a day, which should be fine, but I am burning about 600 calories in my workouts, that's not including what I burn during the weight training. Maybe this is not enough? Or maybe I am just building muscle? Oh well. I always told myself I'm not going to be one of those people who gets upset when I don't lose. I have to remember this is just a part of it. I don't know what more I can do. I guess make real sure I keep up with my protein and water. jacie

Jacie - First of all you should be commended on the great exercise regimine that you have going. You are really working hard girl. I haven't had my surgery yet, but I recall from one of my many many bouts at Weigh****chers, my leader saying that if you use up too many of the calories that you consume and do not replace those calories with the amount of food your body really needs to function, it will hold on to every calorie you are eating because it thinks your body is starving. You might want to check with your dietician. You may not be getting enough and if your body had more fuel to work with it would make that time in the gym count even more on the scale. Just wondering Karen

Hi Karen, Thanks so much! That was exactly what I was wondering. I think I am going to try and e-mail my surgeon's nut. tomorrow. I am just so confused right now. I see such a range around OH regarding how many calories people are taking in, etc... I just want to make sure I am doing everything right! Thanks again, jacie

Wow, Marge! A 7 lb loss is impressive! And the teens, too! I have terrible problems eating chicken, so I figured the turkey wouldn't sit well, either. Surprisingly, it did! My sibling makes delicious mashed potatoes, so I'm pretty sure I overindulged on those since they are nice and fluffy and go down smoothly, yum! Thank God for me, the scale finally shifted in the right direction. Beginning weight: 530 Surgery weight: 407 Last week: 345 This week: 342 Kix

Beginning weight-361 Surgery weight-357 Last week-194 This week-193 I am thrilled since turkey day was a BIG meal for me. Hope you all have a great week. Jennifer

Beginning weight-374 Surgery weight-359 Last week- 280 This week-275 Total weight loss - 99lb gone forever! I had a very surprising week this past week. I had my gall bladder removed on Tuesday, and gained 8 pounds! Not only did the pain medication make me very constipated, but I had no desire to eat. It took a few days but I did loose those nasty 8 pounds, and I'm now 1 pound away from hitting 100 gone forever! Thanksgiving was no big deal this year, my MIL fixed me some yummy soup and that's all I had. Jan
