For those interested, we do a weigh-in each Monday on one of my other forums, some find it helpful to have some accountability, or just someone to report their progress/or lack thereof.

So I'll start.

I was down to 210 on Saturday from 213, which would have been a 3# loss for the week for me, but this morning I was back up to 213, so no loss for me this week. Bummer! Must've been water weight.

same here......
I have lost 35 lb in 3 weeks and now the weight loss is stoped. So, from 260 to 225. No loss no gain this week.

Since my surgery 6/15/09 I have lost 80 pounds. It has been very hard. My starting weight was 244 and i am down to 166.5 this morning. I would love a checkin. It helps.

For me it helps to have some accountability - a place to put it out there so you can see it in black and white. Helps give that little boost of motivation, and get some cheering up when you've had a bad week.

Wow, Mila, I WISH I could lose 35# in 3 weeks. When did you have your surgery? That's really good, I'm jealous! :)

krimicri 04/12/2010

Annie, thanks for checking in! Congrats on your 80#, I just passed the 80 mark myself, and boy was it tough! I'm working on 90 now.. only 13 lbs from ONEderland and I'm DYING to get there.

I love the idea of a Monday weigh in. It is my planned day to weigh in. I have made a chart with each pound listed out that I want to lose to be at my idea of an ideal weight. On Jan. 21 I weighed in at the surgeons. I had lost 30 pounds from that point until last Monday when I had my surgery. I lost 10 pounds since last Monday, not including the weight that they gave me during surgery (thanks!! like I wanted anymore LOL). So, I am 40 pounds down from Jan. 21, 2010. I have been so mixed on what to say I have lost. I was in such a mind set that weight loss would start after surgery (obviously not the case) that I was not taking credit for the other work that I have done. Seriously though.. I have lost 40 lbs yeah me!!!
I really like seeing the support we can all give each other and seeing how it is going for all. We are all so different and at times we will all struggle and celebrate. It is nice to be in a place where both things can happen.

I had my surgery on 3/15. Started at 260 and down to 235. However, today and the last week and a half and havent lost anything...arggggggg..

deleted_user 04/12/2010

Hello All,

Great job on all the hard work - even when it hasn't resulted in loss on the scale.

I had my surgery on 3/15. Started that morning at 293 and as of this morning, I'm weighing in at 269. The last 10 days have been hard, the pounds are coming off VERY slowly.

Kbradley, don't despair. I'm in the same boat with you. I just find strength in knowing that loss or no loss, every day I'm healthier then I was before.

deleted_user 04/13/2010

194 this morning, same as yesterday. Time to up the protein, walk my 2-3 miles and push the water.

Hugs! Patricia
