Tif 2.0

Grrrr, I am up to 190. The only thing I can think of is muscle gain. I have taken up jogging in the past week. There's always next week.

Last week I was at 190.8. Saturday morning I weighed in at 188.6. I am below 190. I am going to shoot for 186 this week. :-)

The last time I posted was a month ago at 193.6. I'm so close to being under 190. Saturday, I weighed in at 190.8. Every ounce I lose now is amazing to me. I don't know why I'm astonished by it like I am, but man alive I am. Here's to hoping that I can get under 190 this week. Good luck everyone.

Well somehow I dropped 3.4 lbs this week. From 197 down to 193.6. Tomorrow is my one year surgiversary. I have lost 92.6 lbs since surgery and 125.2 lbs including pre op. Can you believe this? I was looking at pictures of myself on my honeymoon and I don't recognize myself or even remember that girl.

Well after not really staying on track from Thanksgiving to New Year's, I'm getting back on track. I gained .8 of a lb in that time. In years past it would've been SOOOOO much more. However since New Year's I hadn't really dropped, but now I have. So I'm still in onderland at 197.2. Although I'm packing up my house to move this coming weekend so my routine is completely off track. My one year surgiversary is in 13 days. [/img]

Well, I've finally done it. I'm in ONEDERLAND. I weighed in at 198.4 this morning. I didn't drink enough Water the week of Thanksgiving and I had gained 6 lbs in water weight. I know it was water weight because it just came off 3 lbs on Monday and 3 lbs on Tuesday and then a steady 1/2 lb loss each day the rest of the week. I now can be on an elliptical machine without feeling like I'm going to die. When I first tried it a year ago, I couldn't do 2 minutes. Now I can do 90 minutes when I have the time. Usually it's 60 minutes though. 10 months since surgery and I don't even recognize myself at the same time last year.

Last week - 210.4 This week - 207.0 Goal - 199

Last week I was at 210.4, this morning I weighed in at 207. 8 lbs til I'm under 200. YAY!

I went back to work a week after surgery. I wish I would've taken 2 only because by mid afternoon I was exhausted.

I know the feeling. I'm 8 months post op and I've been craving some Chinese food. For me the reason I don't have any is the sodium. I don't want to retain Water and I will. So I refrain. lol You can do it.

Last week I was at 211.8, this morning 210.4. I'll take -1.4, especially since I'm off track at the gym. Gonna start back up today.

Current as of this morning - 210.4 1.4 loss this week.

Well last week I didn't log in because I was bummed. I ate things I shouldn't have on Labor Day and didn't drink all my Water that weekend and I gained 6 lbs. Now I KNOW I didn't eat enough to really gain 6 lbs, but I absolutely could've retained that much water. Well it's taken 2 weeks to take that all back off plus .8 lbs. I'm now at 211.8 and on my way for my Halloween challenge. I REALLY want to be in ONEDERLAND.

Current as of this morning - 211.8 I hate stalls.

Highest Weight before surgery Pre Op - 319 Weight on Surgery day - 286 Date of surgery - January 27, 2012 Current weight - 212.6 Goal weight for competition - 199

I started the Labor Day Challenge a little late. 7 weeks ago. My goals were to lose 15 lbs, log all my food and exercise and run for 30 minutes. SW: 226 CW: 212.4 GW: 211 I did not lose 15 lbs, but I just logged into MFP for the 51st day in a row and I can run 3 miles at 36 minutes.

I started the Labor Day Challenge a little late. 6 weeks ago. My goals were to lose 15 lbs, log all my food and exercise and run for 30 minutes. I'm almost there. Just 3 lbs to go. SW: 226 CW: 214 GW: 211 I ran 36 minutes last night. 3 miles. 3 months ago, I had never run a complete mile. I've logged 45 days into myfitnesspal.com. Now I just need to lose these last 3 lbs. I've already got a plan for my next Challenge.

It's been a couple weeks since I've logged in here, but I'm down 3.2 more lbs. I've lost 105 total. WHOOHOO!

This week due to having to share my car with my husband I couldn't go to the gym as much as I wanted to. I still lost 1.8 lbs. We should be getting his car back Monday, so I FULLY expect to go back to my new normal this week. This is even after eating at Joe's Crab Shack last night for my bday. Hubs and I shared a Arctic Bay Steampot and I still brought food home. I didn't eat any of the corn, sausage or potato. But I was all over 1 crab leg, 4 shrimp and 1/2 a lobster tail.

On August 19, 2011 I went in for my consultation with my surgeon. I weighed 319 lbs. I don't let people know that number. Even my husband doesn't know. I had to complete a 6 month medically supervised diet. I lost 33 lbs. I had my surgery on January 27, 2012. I celebrated my 6 month surgiversary last week and I'm 2.5 weeks from 1 year from my consult. This morning I got on the scale and it read 219.0. 100 lbs gone! I lost 33 lbs pre-op and I've lost 67 lbs since surgery. In this last 6 months and 1 week, I've had 2 month long stalls where I vacillated between the same 2 lbs for 4 weeks. I'm a slower loser than some, but it's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Now onto my next 20 so I can be below 200 lbs. I've GOT this!

I had clear liquids the 1st 3 days, then full liquids for 3 weeks after that.

My emotions are high this morning. When I stepped on the scale and I saw the reading, my eyes welled up with tears. 3.2 lb loss which brings me to 100 lbs. Gone. Forever.

I could've written this post only in a different location. I've cried more in the past few months than I have in the past 10 years combined. I'm in a 18-20 from a 30-32 and it feels good. 2 months ago I was in the bathroom at the gym and I turned around in the stall and I didn't have to contort my body around the toilet or door. I could turn around like most normal sized people. I started crying. Good for you! Truly.

SW: 226.0 CW: 222.0 GW: 211.0 1.4 lbs lost this week.
