Reporting in at 158.4. My weight has fluctuated so much this week - up 2, then down 2 and I feel like my appetite is high. I go in next week for my check up and may ask for a small fill. Still only a little walking during the day - just what I do at work and push-ups - - I need to ramp up the exercising. Going to Disneyland with the family on Sunday and Monday so I should get some great miles there!

Ugh, I'm so annoyed with myself this month. What happened to me??? Down a pound, up a pound...I don't even remember what I was last week. Weighed in at 257 this morning. Definitely not going to meet my goal :o(

I made to 259 on Sunday morning but then gained 4 pounds by Monday, even though I played disc golf Sunday afternoon. It's bad enough when you gain but when you work your butt off the day before and still gain 4 pounds, makes me really mad.

Checking in this a.m. with no change in weight--still 249. Curse this ToM business!!!! :rolleyes:

My other goals are coming along nicely. I've been going to the gym six days a week. Even when my knee starting hurting (I think it was letting me know that I'm still too heavy to run on it!), I just rested for a day and then switched over to the stationary bike and elliptical machines and went easy on it until it felt better.

I've signed up for a parent/child swim class beginning the week of October 4 as part of the "finding active things to do with my 16-month old."

I log in to myfitnesspal.com every day and track my food and exercise.

Not a great week here. I maintained, didn't lose a thing! But I exercised 2 times. One of those times was a hike in the woods for 2.26 miles, which I am very proud of. I hurt afterward, but felt like I accomplished something.

Now that my PCOS has resolved itself, I'm pretty sure I'm at about 4 weeks, sooooo, that could explain the 0 weight loss.:angry: So much for losing 50 pounds by my birthday on Sunday. grrrrrr. It was to be my own little birthday present to myself.

4 weeks pregnant?!

How wonderful to spend time with your baby in a swim class, good for you!

Joan checking in with a loss of 2.2#, finally! 184.0 I think I am like Larry, I don't lose each week, actually this is my first loss for the month. I lost more than average for me last month so maybe the first couple I weeks I was at a mini plateau?

I am doing fairly well with my personal goals: gym has been 2 times a week instead of 3 but I have walked our dogs 1-2 times per day most days; I have been to the movies twice, I am still working on increasing fruits and veggies, this is a challenge for me.

Next week is our final weigh in for the month! Let's try to reach some goals!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
