despite eating my 4oz a few times a day i still get "guilt" that i am over eating...ah the mind of an over weight girl still has to catch up

Well I am sorry, I haven't been on here lately. Been very difficult time in my life. Really at a stand still with my weight loss. Had to have rotator cuff tear repair surgery, which means that exercise has been out. Still in a sling at this time. Then on July 8, my mother-in-law passed away. When I married my husband, she took me as her own daughter because my mother had died in 1997. I miss her so much, so still trying to get used to her not being around. She really encouraged my weight...

I just went to myvirtualmodel.com and I put in all the my data at my current weight then at my goal weight and I will be smoking when I get there. I am so excited now that I have a preview of the results

Well I am now 1.2 lbs away from ym goal, not my Dr's goal but mine. Dr wants me at crackheads weight and that's just not gonna happen. Hubby doesn't want a bag of bones for a wifey

10 POUNDS FROM MY GOAL WEIGHT!!!! It's so close...I can taste it!!!

HOW ON EARTH COULD I HAVE GAINED 1.5 LBS SINCE YESTERDAY? It must be fluid retention from the salt I put on my food since I obviously didn't eat 1.5 lbs of food yesterday. lol Today's focus: More water, less salt.

New Sleevers: You have so many wonderful things to look forward to!! Smaller clothes, more confidence, freedom to do most anything and not be held back by the weight... it's all the little things. I don't regret getting my sleeve for ONE SECOND!!! It is really tough in the very beginning, but once you jump that hurdle it is ALL WORTH IT!!!

Well I didn't quite make my pre-op weight goal. I wanted to be under 300 lbs before surgery but this morning I weighed in at 305.4. Still that's down 35 lbs and I guess I still have a chance. Clear liquids today might just do it for me.

While laying in bed this morning I noticed that my hips bones stick out way too much. I don't think I wantto lose anymore weight especially if I get a tummy tuck, I'll seriously look like a crack head. I'm perfectly fine at 164

I have set myself two short term goals - my six month goal on 8/22 and a Labor Day Goal. The 6 month goal is to weigh 167 on the doctor's scale - that is an 86 pound loss. The second one is to weigh 157 on the doctors scale by Labor Day - that is a 96 pound loss. And, I have moderated my ultimate goal weight. I want to weigh 125 on my home scale - which is around 135 dressed on my doctor's scale. This will be a nice size (I'm not sure what) and will be a NORMAL BMI.

Love & Loght to all on this journey. Well, last week I gained 2.4 lbs and this week, I lost a pound. I am only 16 lbs away from goal so I am really uping the water. I would like to be at goal by labor day! I know we can do it. Giving thanks for All the lessons and the blessings!

starting pre-op officially and curious if anyone gained weight prior to surgery?? I specially feel anxious..

Today is July 4, 2011. I've down to 220 pounds. I've dropped 52 pounds. But, now I seem to be at a stand still at my weight loss. I try to get my 60 grams of protein each day, work out at Curves, or do bike riding or wii each day. I'm also drinking water.

Haven't been this weight since I was 19.

I did something this morning that I have not been able to do in about 2 years. I actually stood up while teaching my class this morning! I had been sitting because I just could not stand for long periods of time. This morning though, I stood for my 1 hour lecture! Woo Hoo I love having lost this weight!

I worked out yesterday and I gained a pound.... I haven't been able to see the inside of a gym in over 3 weeks.

For the past 2 days people have said I look alot smaller and if I'm done losing weight. I just simply say I'm losing inches I hope cuz I don't want to lose anymore

One year ago, I began losing weight -- today, I feel like a new person

trying to catch my wave (I still don't understand how my body loses weight when I least expect it)

Doing ok with the weight loss for the most part.94lbs in 5.5months ,hoping to make it 100lbs by the 6 month mark Sept. 15th.

I got the best compliment today, from an 8 year old girl (who hadn't seen me all summer). She said, "oh wow, you got skinny" That just made my day! I am far from skinny and haven't lost any weight in 2 months, but that made me smile

Why is it that if I drink water at night, the weight is STILL on the scale the next day?? Makes me not want to drink barely anything at all!

...9 months out and gaining. HELP!

Even though I'm not at goal, I'm done trying to lose weight for a little while. I've been feeling really crappy again and I'm just going to focus on eating, eating, eating. Good stuff of course. Still not buying junk. It's just that I'm not eating enough.

Very frustrated with how slow I am losing weight, but reminding myself to be thankful that I am in fact actually LOSING weight that I will never put back on and that I am still heading in the right direction!!! Just going to reevaluate my daily intake and see what I can change up to start losing more a little quicker!
