Weekly Weigh-In 16/01/17-22/01/16

Happy Monday !

My weight has not dropped since Friday, but considering I have had steady, significant loss since well before Christmas, it was bound to happen. It was the longest I'd gone without leveling out since surgery. But like, I'm ready for it to get going again hahaha.

im getting closer to my goal of 267, then on to 232. I might throw in a random milestone of 250 to break that up a bit....

HW:378

LW: 276

TW: 272

next goal: 267, then 250 and 232.

have a great week everyone!

HW 368

LW 168.2

TW 169

Another week, another weigh in. Such a weird week for me. I went from battling constipation to waking up last Saturday morning with the complete opposite problem and it lasted until this past weekend. For the record I think I prefer the constipation. I hadn't changed anything in my diet so I'm unsure what the cause was, and perhaps it was completely unrelated to RNY, but I didn't have any other issues beyond the annoying number of trips to the bathroom. I was even waking up a couple times throughout the night. Things seem to have returned to "normal" so I'll just chalk it up as another interesting experience. The scale was crazy this week too, up and down and up and down. This morning it landed on 278.5 which isn't the lowest I saw this week but as I said it was a weird one. I've been going through my closest trying to get a better handle on the level of organization and ended up getting rid of 3 bags of clothes without even really trying. More to come this week between job searching and submitting resumes (yikes!).

HW - 386

LW - 282.9

TW - 278.5

I don't really have another significant goal on the horizon. My next is 336 (150 lost) but I spent the week aiming to reach the 270's and I got pretty excited when I saw it so I think that's how I'll be looking at it for the next little while, just 10 lbs at at time.  

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Congrats on reaching the 270's! :)

I set my mini goals 10lbs apart to help me not be overwhelmed by the total weight I need to lose. It really helps me.

OK you make me do a double take with your Canadian way of writing the date.... Even though Wednesday is my 'official' record my weight day, figured I'd get in on Monday because then I forget to post.

After much bouncing around for several weeks with Holidays and extended family time... weighed in and at perfectly OK number. Continues to show me if I get back in the rhythm quickly it all comes together peacefully...no need to panic. I did not do a detox or anything special...just back to my regularly scheduled program....

Highest: 420+
Surgeon consult 383
Last week: 171 (on Monday)
This week: 166
Maintenance +/- 165

I'm tricky like that! 

I like following along as you navigate maintenance!

I had a week last week where I felt like I was eating everything. So I was nervous to weigh myself today. But I was down two pounds soo... I do know I was finally getting back to normal from my IBS attack that happened over Christmas so IDK if this is me leveling out from that or what. Either way since I'm looking to maintain or lose I'll take it.

HW: 377

LW: 140

TW: 138

Goal: to maintain!

Maintenance is a Mind F*** as those Vets who gone before me have said. You will fluctuate, just have to ride the waves...

Yay for maintenance!!! Despite all that it is a good place to be. 

I tend to believe whatever the vets before me have said lol so I've been guessing maintenance would be tricky! So far it's true - before the IBS incident I was sitting at 144 and then I dropped to 138 and now I'm bouncing. But since my maintenance goal is 145 I'm ok with it :)

I realized that I failed to mention my exercise for the week. I had a mildly traumatic experience on Wednesday when I finished my workout and went to check my fitbit only to discover it had died. The horror!! I knew the Fitbit was a great tool for me but realized in that moment how attached I've become to it. It was almost like that workout didn't count because the Fitbit didn't acknowledge it. Crazy brain. I upped my daily step goal to 8500 and with the exception of the unfortunate day that wasn't fully recorded I exceed that everyday. Over the weekend I really pushed myself to get moving, the weather was good and I logged 16000+ and 20000+ steps so I was proud of that. Goal for this week is a minimum of 9000 steps each day, Zumba at least 4 times and some resistance training (I mix it in when I'm walking around the house).
