Friday weigh in

Here we are.. It's Friday.  How is everyone doing.  Here is your chance to share all your successes.  Are you maintaining, gaining, or loosing.  What is your goal.  Sound off folks.  We are all winners here. Last week 122 This week121 I hit 124 this week because of bad eating but changed it up on Tuesday and I can see the results of my efforts. Maintaining now for almost 4 months..... yeah. Carla

118.2 down .6 from last week..Sigh.

Hmm... and you just keep eating.. lol.. at least its not going down any faster.. I am sure you will balance out soon.  Keep the faith.. Carla

My first weigh in with you guys.. Today: 132.6 I am maintaining for now but also doing a lot of strength training so its hard to say if the scale would be going down otherwise.  Also restarted nuvaring.  Time will tell.  Lots of changes in my body right now.

Thats great.. yes working out adds that muscle mass so you are doing great.  It took me over a month to drop when I first started working out.  keep it up... you rock.. Carla

Hi Melissa hope you don't mind me asking, but what is nuvaring? Thanks, Ruth

Hi Ruth!  It is a birth control method that you insert vaginally. 

Last week:  153 This week:  153 I would have hoped to see a loss, but I didn't gain so that's a great thing.  I know I'm retaining a bit, but I'm also going to seriously cut my carbs to get things moving along.  I eat good carbs mostly, but I'll have to ease up on the bananas and rice.  I don't have a magic number, but I'm gonna shoot for <100g/day and see how that goes.  I'll probably update this tomorrow if the scale moves by then!

You are right on the money.. lower the carbs and get the protein up.. you will see a move.  I saw your post today and thats what I saw.  Get back to those basics and that scale will start heading down again.   Carla

I am just joining you guys  (Ok I'm from Texas I would really say y'all).  My RNY doctor told me to stop loosing weight.  I started at 358 and this morning I weighed 173 - I've been fluctuating between 172-174 for the last couple of weeks.  I'd really like to loose to 155 or so but hate to not do what the doctor says - particularly since he has been right thus far but heck my BMI is still in the overweight zone!  Either way I need to clean up my eating so I am going to begin journaling it again.  I'll be checking in on the accountability thread too.
