I was so depressed after the scale @ the dr's said I had a 12# gain in 2 weeks, but I got on the scale @ my friend's house Saturday & it said 295 or thereabouts. so only a 5# gain.
OK, I'm back from my mom's and just as I thought, I gained.
. I am now 209 again. I kind of expected it and I think that it will take a couple of weeks to get back into the swing of things.
Gayle,
I am glad you are back on! I like your goal of "anything lower" thats how I feel sometimes too! Why dont you join our one week challenge thread? I tell you the thought of saying I couldnt even stay on track for one week straight has kept me going!
Angi-maintaining is always better than gaining but I know you were thrilled with the loss this week! before you know it that adoption dream will become a reality.
Well, in the past eight days or so I am down 3 pounds. I really have this goal in my head to equal last years weight loss. 37 pounds lost last year from 313-276. This year I will have to get to 239 to make it 37 more. I am at 249 so I have 10 pounds to go to get there!!
and you're doing sooo well. even if you post a gain. you have the courage to face the music and get back on track. and that's great.
as for me, finally getting a chance to post. the plateau from **** ended 3 weeks ago, and since then i've lost 9 pounds, 3 in the last week.
so, i've officially lost 250 pounds. 153 since the surgery.
how much do i have left?? good question!!! a couple of docs think that 50-60 more would be fine. i'm thinking more in the range of 75. one doc wants me to lose another 105. we'll see!!!!
it's funny that the docs vary so much, and that i am in the middle!!!
Sigh...................I gained one pound this week. I've been getting weary of the pain from my arms and back and my greatly lessened mobility as a result. I've been snacking on junk food I admit - pretzels, cracker jack, cookie and cake crumbs, etc. I've been grazing. My family's been making more goodies lately too and leaving them around. My sister gets mad at me if I put them away when I'm in the room because she wants the goodies to be left out. I know that when I'm in pain and weary, my ability to resist temptation is much less, and I wish my sister could understand and appreciate that. (She's thin - borderline underweight according to the Dr.) I'm still going to put the goodies out of my sight when I'm in the kitchen. She'll have to deal with it. I can't let my family sabatauge my efforts.
Hi, I'm new to this board
I started weight watchers Oct 2nd I've lost 7.6 lbs
My goal is to be able to sit down and not have my belly hang out and also not to spread like I do, I'm finding it very easy to stay with the plan ( so far ) I alos want to start walking at lunch( did walk today)
My other goal is for someone to say to me good gracious you are soooooo thin HEH!! HEH!!!!
gained 9 pounds in 2 weeks! back up to 273 as of this morning. I was at 269 on Saturday. This was to be expected. Haven't been OP'd for a while, plus TOM starts this week! UGH!
