Weight Loss/Gain Survey

Hey all!
Some of you have heard me mention the "Divorce Diet" on here - and well....I was curious....
How much weight have we all gained and/or lost while we all go thru our different situations.

Would love to get a tally - just for a good time - something to do (kind of like that horoscope survey someone was running awhile back)

I'll start off:

So far - I've lost 85 lbs

WOW! I'm close to my "fightin' weight from high school ;-)

Ok......NEXT???

And hey - it's cool if anyone has gained too. Some of us just handled our pain differently....and for me - I think there's a reason for everything.

So......NEXT?

I think I have lost and gained the same 20 pounds each year for the past three years. I am hoping I can keep it off for good this time :)

In the declinging months of marriage I lost about 30 pounds but I gained about 5 back. I think I am loosing again because my appetite is going away and I see a Dr. on the 17th I was put on different meds that could cause weight gain but I am off them now.

I've lost 20 pounds so far. I started as a tight size 12, I'm down to a loose size 8. A little more misery and I'll be back to my lovely size 6 curves, LOL

I meant to add that 20 came off during the initial "shock" of it all. I took the rest off by working out and watching what I ate. I figured if the 20 was already off I might as well fight to keep it off.

I lost 14 pounds in 15 days, and a total of 20 before it started affecting me physically, now I have to force myself to eat to maintain.

I started at 6'1", 185 lbs. When it happened I didn't eat or sleep for more than a week and I lost about six or seven pounds. I got my appetite back after that.

About two months later my crappy eating habits caught up with me. I was skipping breakfast and having lunch and two dinners. I never thought to bring home breakfast foods. I hit 195 and decided I had to do something about it.

So I went back to having breakfasts, drinking lots of water and not having anything after about 6pm at night. I got myself back down to my married weight in about two weeks.

I lost about 8 lbs., which brought me below 100. I cannot afford to lose anymore. I've stopped losing weight now, I just can't seem to put back on the few pounds that I need to be at a healthier weight.

I lost almost 50 the first few months after the EX left, but then the Doctor prescribed an anti-dpressent and I gain 70 over the next 12 months. Now I'm working on dropping the last 20 pounds to get back where I was.

OK, I weigh 178lbs now. I was 198 in April. I have been working out to get stress release for a couple years, I think I am staying at this weight now, but need to get back in the gym. It's been a little over a week.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
