MONDAY WEIGH IN!

Highest Weight 327 lbs Day of Surgery 318 lbs Last Week 265 This week 263

Hi Marge, Congrats on dropping that 5lbs! I'm stuck and have been stuck for the past almost 2 weeks. Here is my info: Surgery Referral Weight 368 Feb. 8, 2006 Kaiser Options Class Wt.  375  June 14, 2006 Consult Weight: 351 December 7, 2006 Surgery Weight - 343.8 Jan. 31, 07 Last Week: 281.4 Today: 280.6 - .8 lbs Total Lost: 94.8lbs!  We were gone last week, but I did lots of walking and little eating.  I'm really bummed!

I normally don't post but I do lurk daily.  I'm so depressed because everybody has lost except me.  The week of 4/23, I was down to 237.  My DH  and I went out of town for our anniversary that following weekend, and when I weighed last Monday I could have died!!!!!!   I was UP to 243.  Didn't lose one pound last week. Weighed this morning...........it was 244.  I'm not doing anything wrong except maybe not getting in 64 oz and not eating enough.  I get so jealous that every week Jandell loses exceptionally well.  (Go Girl!!!!!!) I just don't find pleasure in eating.  It seems like a hassle.  I can never find foods that I like or snacks that will provide nutrition instead of bad carbs. It seems hard to eat 5-6 meals a day.  Please give me some encouragement, My goal was to be at 225 by the end of the month when we leave for Disney but Iguess that is OUT!!!!!!!!!!  May as well come clean since I'm throwing a pity party:   Highest weight 376 Pre-op weight 358 Weight week of 4/23 237 Today's weight 244 My goal weight is 179-185 Ree Ree

hi there Ree Ree and welcome to the board - glad you decided to delurk! I'm so sorry has eating been difficult for you - it doesn't help at all when food isn't appealling. I know that eating more would probably help you, but I know that's difficult. Have you talked to your nutritionist? Maybe she can give you some pointers or help you through this. Maybe you could also talk to a counselor who specializes in weight loss surgery? It may help you get through this period. I have a counselor that I talk to periodically and he has been a tremendous help - he helps me see things that I would never recognize. I wish I could help more but know that this is a great place - people truly do care around here. Please stick around! Hugs Pam

Yeah Marge!!! Congrats on the big loss! I'm a day late with this since I was out of town through yesterday, but I'm very happy - I broke my 2 week plateau and lost! I was hoping the plateau wouldn't last too long - my niece's graduation is only 2 weeks away and my goal was to get to 220 by then. I think I might make it! Surgery weight: 371 last week's weight: 225 this week's weight: 221 That's a total of 150! Woo hoo! I did have a fun WOW moment yesterday - I was a Target and saw a cute skirt I wanted to try on. I found an 18, tried it on and it was huge! So, I got a 16 and that was too big too! I went down to a 14 and it fit. It couldn't believe it, I haven't worn a 14 for YEARS!

Hi marge,  I know I am awful about joining in  Your Monday weigh in. I just cant remember what I weigh from one monday to the next. i weigh everyday to help keep me on track. And yes sometimes two or three times a day. expecially when I am losing good. And when i am stalled I have learned to kinda take it with a grain of salt and to journal to figure out why.  But  I am going to make it a goal to try to remember what my weight is on Mondays.  So everyone will you please help me. I have been riding  a bike for the first time in yrs.  I think it is helping me with my weight loss. And we are working on the house and keeping busy so that helps with the eatting. Anyway. here goes.. surgery weight 308 last wk  198 today  194 That one is hard to type I keep reaching for the two. Isnt it amazing,
