Weekly Weigh-In
Mar 11, 2010
Apparently the chocolate has caught up with me despite the exercise. I had only a .25 lb loss today. I guess the point is that it is down though.
Oh well onward and downward!!

Another Pound Gone-Yes!!
Mar 04, 2010
Weekly weigh-in and onderland is another pound closer.
We started a new contest at TOPS today.
New friend Cheryl and I shared the honors on the last one.
Just one gain in the last 8 weeks and I really wonder if it was the scale (seriously, they are using a finicky digital scale and it apparently matters where you stand on it when you weigh)
But no matter, I am on my way down - 14 lbs since I started in December.
Several WOW moments recently. Went for bloodwork and seriously felt like Lily Tomlin in the big chair on the old Laugh-In show (who knew the chair in the lab was so big - I used to have trouble gettting the arm down so they could put my arm on it to draw blood!!)
Then I realized that I have now lost more than the equivalent of 5 - 10 kg (22 lb) bags of sugar. I struggled the other day to get 1 downstairs to storage!!
Then my Dr says he thinks the goal weight we set is too low - when does that ever happen? Oh yeah - never!! I left it where it was and said well see when I get a little closer!!
And at a meeting last night, I realized that I was sitting there........ with my legs crossed!!
I didn't stop the meeting-but I sure felt like it!! I sat there and crossed and uncrossed several times to insure that I wasn't making it up!!
lol life is good this week!!

I'm still working out everyday (at least 30 minutes) and trying to keep the calories under 1200 and the protein at no less than 60 grams.
Ah such is the life of the WLS patient!!

Finally - A Loss!!
Feb 11, 2010
Weekly weigh-in and I finally managed a loss!! Hopefully I can keep it up for a while now. TOPS is having a biggest loser contest from January to June 30, so we'll see.
It seems like I must look different to people than myself-I had another person say today "Well you must not need to lose much more!!"
Yikes I am 5'3" and almost 210 lbs, freaking rights I need to lose more weight!
Anyway - onward and upward!! I mean downward!!

Weekly TOPS Weigh-In ##??@@!!!!!!!
Feb 04, 2010
Well if last week was aargh!! This week was ##!!??@@!!
I was up 1.25 lbs at TOPS.
I did at least 45 minutes of exercises on 6 of the 7 days and my net calories were never over 1200/day and I gained.
My protien was good ( at least 60 g/day) and I upped my water to at least 112 oz/day.
So I am thinking that I am maybe drinking to close to eating or something so this week I will be watching that very closely.
Or maybe I am stalled or something but whatever, I am trying to not flip out!!!
Can you spell frustration!!!!

Aaaaarg!! Weekly Weigh-In
Jan 28, 2010
Hi everyone - Today was the weekly weigh-in at TOPS. I figured I'd do well since my shoulder is responding well to the new treatment at the physiotherapist and I have been doing at least an hour of aerobics and cycling every day. But no - I was exactly the same today as last Thursday........aaaarg!!
Oh well at least I didn't gain. All is well otherwise, I guess I need to start really measuring and journalling again as well.
Take Care everyone!!
