Friday Weigh in!

Silly girl.. it sounded so good though.  I know you want lower and you will get it.  You eat so well and make such great choices.  just do what you do and you will be there in no time Carla

Thanks Captain! I can always count on your for encouragement! Hope your having a great day. I just finished one tax return...weehaa my hubby gets back money...now I am on to mine...had to file separate this yr or he would not have got anything back to pay mine. Long story!

Ginny, I'm wondering if maybe you aren't in starvation mode?  You don't eat much lady, with the exercise maybe play with your eating a little, protein rich, low carb.   Just a thought?

I feel like I am always planning on what I am going to eat...and I do very low carbs yesterday was an exception, I don't eat anything but fish usually...mostly fish and my Slimfast with Unjury...I go up and down with my calories but my protein is always well over 100. I actually think it sodium from the cottage cheese 2 days ago then spagetti sauce yesterday...I wee weeed all day and I am still 127. Maybe tomorrow I will drop as long as its not going up, hey remember I was staying between 128-131 for a long time. No I see 126 to 128 much better but I still want 122!! Keeps me challenging myself.

Dana do you think maybe I am drinking too much water...I normally drink 7 bottles of 16.9 which is 118.3 oz.??? I asked this the other day under accountability ands no one replied.

Im sorry I didnt see it.  I drink way more water than that a day.  I agree with Dana on the low cals and I know you tried to move them up for me but abandoned that when you saw the one pound gain.  I think if you stuck with it a bit it would start going down again.  Look at Dawn at over 2000 cals a day and she gained a couple of days than dropped back down again.   I have pushed my cals up to and I am up to pounds right now but I was higher.  I am hoping I will drop back down and still allow me to do the extra calories.  Remember I dont exercise at all because of my legs and that slimmers paralysis I have from loosing so much weight.  I tried about a month ago to exercise and had problems again so I just have to wait until I can workout with out hte problems. As far as water.. I dont think thats the problem at all. Carla

I don't think it's the water.  Maybe this is what you should weigh, who knows.  Finding that place that is a good weight for us is hard.  You have a normal BMI.  And, remember the muscle you have.  I don't exercise, should but I can't stick with it; haven't found anything I that I love enough to keep doing it.  I suspect eventually it will bite me in the butt *sigh*. So far I'm staying between 123-125, I like it here but as long as I stay below my surgeon's goal I keep telling myself I'm fine. 

I finally broke my plateau - yippee!  Two weeks after having the RESTORe procedure (had it 5 weeks ago yesterday) I had lost 11 lbs.  Then it went back to 10, and it has stayed between 10-11 ever since.  Yesterday, it jumped to 12-1/2.  I go back to Baltimore for my 6 week check up next week so I hope the doc's scale reflects the 12-1/2 lbs too.   Only about 30 lbs to go.

What is the RESTORe procedure?

Thats great. sounds like you are well on your way to goal.  Just keep doing it. grats on your loss. Carla
