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 have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
