Week 26

 

Last week’s weight – 198.8

This week’s weight – 194.8

Total weight lost this week – 4 (happy dance!)

 

Beginning weight – 246 lbs

Total weight loss since surgery – 51.2 lbs

 

Woo Hoo….I finally broke the last few weeks of yoyo’ing and hit the 50 lb mark in my weight loss (half way to goal!).

 

I definitely did it through drinking a lot more water. I am still doing CrossFit as my main form of exercise (3x a week). I can feel myself getting stronger and more coordinated with the exercises but I definitely have to scale back a lot of the workouts. I’m ok with that mainly because I would like to be tone and stronger and not bulky.

 

My eating hasn’t been too bad this week. The hardest part of the day, for me, is getting home from work. Usually I am either bored or trying to avoid housework or homework so eating sounds good (luckily with my sleeve I am extremely limited with what I can eat). I don’t always make the best choices though.

 

I now officially fit into size 16 pants (from a 22W!). I bought 16’s from both the Eddie Bauer outlet and Target and they fit fine. I waffle in shirt size from a large to an XL. I bought a L from Eddie Bauer and stretched the crude out of it over the back of a large padded computer chair we have (it was tight across my belly fat). It is still a little tight across my bosom but I wore a sweater over it so it wasn’t too noticeable. Speaking of bosoms, I’ve gone from being at 42DD to a 40D (so I’ve had to buy some new bras).

 

Until next week!

Awesome! Congrats!!! That is a great week's loss. I lost 2 this week making my total 56.6. I worked out 5 days last week so I think that helped. I'm leaving for vacation next Wednesday (my weigh-in day) so I would like to lose a little before I go away. I'm already planning to do a "back to basics" clean eating when I get back. I need to really work hard to get these pounds off now. I'm still eating too many sweets. I can't believe tomorrow is our 6 month surgiversary <3

Oh and as far as shopping, I bought over $200 worth of clothes at Burlington Coat Factory last weekend. Their prices were amazing, it was like 4 bags total. Shirts/blouses for work, sweaters, some jewelry, some lingerie :) And I bought another goal dress, size 14. It's a straight cut so it is realllllllly tight over my hips. Hope I can wear it in a few months :)

Great job ladys where has the time went 6 months and it seems like yesturday. I wish i could start exercise because im sure that would help. Are u all drinking plan water or something like crystal light. I have been weighing myself every day before showing and was at a stall for a few weeks yesturday i was 167.4. My goal was 150 but my 13 year old daughter is not to happy with me she says i took the easy way out and dont have to do anything to loose weight she weights 164 so im not sure if i want to work hard to get below her weight because i don't want to hurt her feelings.Got mmy blood work done last week and everything was good. she said i could loose down to 150 and still not look sick so we will see what happens . Ladys keep up the good work we can do this.

So great to hear from both of you this week!

J - I wouldn't listen to your 13 year old daughter (she is teenager full of righteous indignation and no idea how much weight is a struggle at this point...plus she is hard wired to push your buttons). I would shoot for your goal but perhaps not share your weight with your daughter if it is going to upset her. I am so excited that you are so close to goal at 6 months out! I am losing like a turtle compaired to you. I'm dying to get out of the 190's. I'm sure I will get there but it may take longer then I hoped. Can you post some pictures on your profile?

L - How was your vacation? I think it is great that you have goal clothing. I should get a goal pair of 14 pants (dislike dresses - my thighs still rub together!) and focus on fitting into those. I am holding pretty steady with size 16 right now (I will take that over my size 22W's!). Our Burlington Coat Factory is a huge ole mess! I find it hard to find anything in it. We still haven't hit cold weather here in the south so I'm still in my summer clothes. I am going to have to find some winter clothes soon'ish so I will attempt another look at Burlington.

Vacation was amazing! And get this, I lost 2 lbs! How weird. I ate and drank whatever I wanted. But the resort was huge and we had to climb up hills and stairs to get to breakfast. We were curious one day and counted the stairs...61! We were like I bet we will come home lighter and we did. And I brought my 2 bikinis and wore them. They are a size 16. My stomach is no where near flat but I still wore them! I love the Dominican Republic, I'm already planning to go back in February with my boyfriend :)

Wow! You braved a bikini?!?! I'm not sure I could. I can still see scars on my stomach from the surgery. Way to go on the 2 lbs lost. I've been to the Dominican Republic to an all inclusive resort and had a great time. My husband and I would go back for sure as well.
